The Past (Chapter 7)

Recap~

" CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, WE'LL SEE U IN TWO DAYS AT THE QUAD" The girl in front of Tris who seems to be the leader agreed.

Almost immediately after that, all the girls went to their own class and the teachers started their lessons like nothing happened. It is as if the teachers were afraid of getting in the fangirl's way.

End of Recap~

Normal P.O.V

Tobias had decided to skip period two but he soon regretted it when he heard what had happened before the lesson starts. He wished he were there to see the changes of Tris's expression so he could tease her, however, he couldn't go back in time to change his appointment time with the psychologist. Tobias had been visiting the psychologist for 2 years now, every week the same day, the same time. All they was talk about how me feels, what is he thinking about, what's going on. It seems suspicious to Tobias because all the Jeanine, the psychologist, ever talks about is if he remembers what happened to him in the past, or anyone got his interest or attention. Of course Tobias didn't tell her anything, but she seems to know everything he is hiding from her, which makes Tobias more cautious.

End of Normal P.O.V

Tris's P.O.V

Now that I think about it, the problem escalated a little bit too quickly... Not that I mind since I really want them to leave me alone for some peace, so I guess two days later I will get more time alone, peacefully, I think. Additionally, by the angels I'm thankful that Tobias wasn't there and I look forward to him not knowing at all. He will mock me for doing what I did and says that it's because I'm jealous about the 'fangirls'. Technically all I wanted was for them to leave me alone. -Sigh- next period is music eh? Hmmm...

– Lesson starts –

I sat at the back again as usual and I saw Tobias walking to his seat but not without grinning at me. And I got the message that he knows about the challenge... That just makes my life so much better.

" Alright guys~ Today you will be singing a song of your own choice to the whole class. And when we finish I need to enlighten you about a new event in 2 months time so, if anyone can remind me later on it will be great~" the teacher said quickly. And for about 1 minute everyone was still and silent but after that you see phones, tablets and electronics everywhere as everyone is choosing their songs to sing.

"Alright anyone wants to go first?" The teacher asked.

" Sir! The new girl can go first since she is the only one we haven't heard her sing before!" Someone suggested, whom I suppose is a 'cutie Tob' fan that wanted to see me crash and burn. I chuckled to myself about the nickname and wonder who is the one going burned today.

" Ahh yes, that's true so Tris do you mind going first?" The teacher asked. Without replying, I just walk to the front of the class, took out my phone and plug it in the speaker dock.

" The song I will be singing is 'Ghost' by Katy Perry, from the new album Prism." I declared casually and without waiting I pressed play.


(Lyrics are bold, thoughts are normal font)

I started singing, hoping my emotions wouldn't go haywire: You sent a text

It's like the wind changed your mind

And all the memories started flooding back to my mind. Without realizing, I had a sad smile on, looking at the back of the classroom.

We were best friends

Yeah, we were building our life

With every kiss, and every letter

Every promise of forever, oh

I closed my eyes and I can see all the things we had done, the kisses, the text messages, the flirting, everything

But you hit "Send"

And disappeared in front of my eyes

The images changes quickly to the day where I thought everything is going fine and I'm happy... until I received the text.

And now you're just a ghost

I couldn't control my emotions anymore, and I decided that just this once, just this once I would let all my emotions out while singing.

When I look back never would have known that

You could be so cold

I started pouring out my soul, in a sense.

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

My heart is so empty and I'm not the same person anymore. I never could be.

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

Something has died

All the signs are there! All the signs of you not being alright, yet I couldn't see. I should've paid more attention, and right now I'm just wondering why I haven't noticed it earlier. Why?

Now that I have made up my mind

I'll be alright

Yes, I'll be alright... I will close off my heart and build a wall around it. I will so that I could never feel pain anymore nor can I cause anyone pain.

It doesn't harm me at night

'Cause every gift, and every letter,

Every promise of forever

Now, it's out of sight

Like you were never alive

And now you're just a ghost

You aren't alive anymore. Not in my heart. Not in my head. You shouldn't be. You're just like a ghost, like this song said.

When I look back never would have known that

You could be so cold

Leaving me alone in this world, breaking me in pieces with a text.

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now, now

Now, now, now, now, now

So rest in peace

I just hope you get more happiness in wherever you are right now,

I see you on the other side

And now you're just a ghost

When I look back never would have known that

You could be so cold

Like a stranger vanish like a vapor

There's just an echo where your heart used to be

Now I see it clearly

And there's just a pillow where your head used to sleep

My vision's 20/20

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now

I see through you now

Now, now, now, now

I see through you now


I guess I really can't control my emotions when I'm singing songs like these... Hopefully this will be the first and last time this class get to see my in this I finished singing, everyone froze as if something had manipulated them. I guess it is a big shock to them, so without thinking I took my phone out of the dock and just went back to my seat, composing my emotions again. Back to my normal self, the cold and introverted me. No more emotions, no more.

The teacher seems to snapped out of his thoughts and said, " That was an awesome job Tris! I can feel all the emotions you put in the song, and you have the most angelic, beautiful and soothing voice ever~!"

"Hmph" I replied, back to my normal self. I didn't want to say anymore than that because I know my voice will crack.

" Alright than~ Next shall be Tobias! So come on up and sing your heart out!"

"Ok than, the song I'm singing Is Trouble Maker by Olly Murs ft. Flo Rida from Right Place Right Time album." He commented and played the music.

End of Tris's P.O.V

Tobias's P.O.V

So her name is Tris eh? Hmmm she has a nice name. Also I was shocked to see that girl displayed such emotions... after all, all I've seen from her is annoyed, pissed and emotionless.

"Ok than, the song I'm singing Is Trouble Maker by Olly Murs ft. Flo Rida from Right Place Right Time album." I said.


(Lyrics are bold, thoughts are normal font)

You're a troublemaker

You're a troublemaker...

You ain't nothing but a troublemaker, girl

I'm Smirking at the girls as they all think this song is for them, well except for one girl, like normal.

You had me hooked again from the minute you sat down

The way you bite your lip got my head spinnin' around

I winked, and everyone started swooning even more. I guess it makes me happy that my effects are working on them but just not Tris. I wonder what happened to her in the past for her to display so many emotions while singing.

After a drink or two I was putty in your hands

I don't know if I have the strength to stand, oh oh oh...

Trouble troublemaker, yeah

Oh Tris is definitely a troublemaker all right~

That's your middle name, oh oh oh...

I know you're no good but you're stuck in my brain

Tris, you have been in my mind ever since... I wonder if I am in your mind, I wish I was... You are definitely a troublemaker and I just can't help but get a little attracted to you I guess.

And I wanna know...

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad, oh oh oh?

The more I get your attention the happier I am... I wonder why.

My mind keeps saying,

"Run as fast as you can."

I say, "I'm done," but then you pull me back, oh oh oh...

I swear you're giving me a heart attack

How do you do this to me Tris? How?

Troublemaker!

It's like you're always there in the corners of my mind

I see your silhouette every time I close my eyes

There must be poison in those finger tips of yours

'Cause I keep comin' back again for more, oh oh oh...

Trouble troublemaker, yeah

That's your middle name, oh oh oh...

I know you're no good but you're stuck in my brain

And I wanna know...

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad, oh oh oh?

I looked at you and started to directing the song to her.

My mind keeps saying,

"Run as fast as you can."

I say, "I'm done," but then you pull me back, oh oh oh...

I swear you're giving me a heart attack

Troublemaker

I put my hand on my heart and I smile at her while singing the previous two lines.

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad, oh oh (hurt so bad)?

My mind keeps saying,

"Run as fast as you can."

Troublemaker

I say, "I'm done," but then you pull me back, oh oh oh...

I swear you're giving me a heart attack

Troublemaker

Maybe I'm insane

I think I probably am. –sigh-

'Cause I keep doing the same damn thing

Thinking one day we gon' change

But you know just how to work that back

And make me forget my name

What the hell you do I won't remember

I'll be gone until November

And you'll show up again next summer, yeah!

Typical middle name is Prada

Fit you like a glove, girl

I'm sick of the drama

You're a troublemaker

But damn girl it's like I love the trouble

And I can't even explain why

Nope. I just can't explain... If only she can hear my thoughts...

(Yeah!)

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad, oh oh oh?

My mind keeps saying,

"Run as fast as you can."

Troublemaker

I will definitely make you fall in love with me...

I say, "I'm done," but then you pull me back, oh oh oh...

Like how I fell in love with you

I swear you're giving me a heart attack

I will no matter what

Troublemaker

Why does it feel so good but hurt so bad, oh oh oh?

If anyone dares to hurt you I will personally torture and kill them

(And I can't even explain why)

My mind keeps saying,

"Run as fast as you can."

Troublemaker

I say, "I'm done," but then you pull me back, oh oh oh...

I swear you're giving me a heart attack

Troublemaker

Your're mine... I love you Tris.


" Wonderful singing Tobias! Your voice is smooth and beautiful as well!~ Good job! Now please take a seat and the next person up is..." I went back to my seat and listen to the next person singing. I didn't pay attention and kept glancing at Tris. I finally stopped and put my usual personality back on. I wonder what is the announcement sir has to make later.
