Chapter Six

Training has been going good the past couple of weeks. The only bad thing was when I had to fight against people. I had to beat a red head Erudite boy and a girl from my old faction named Zoe. She gave up in the middle of the fight and decided to become factionless. It broke my heart because it was partially my fault.

When I was fighting Zoe I kind of blacked out and just went at her. I didn't realize what I was doing until Zoe started walking out of the arena. Once I saw what I did to her I ran to my room and started crying. I hadn't cried in a long time so it felt like I was crying over everything that has happened since the last time I cried. The rest of the day I just stayed in my bed. I have been feeling depressed after this happened but luckily I have Katelyn to cheer me up. The bad thing is that the initiates have to share a room so I would just have to cry under my blankets when someone came in.

"Hey Alison, Zach is looking for you." Katelyn informs me.

"Do you know where he is at?" I muttered.

Katelyn said. "Yeah he is in the cafeteria."

"Okay I will talk to you later." I say with a smile.

I walk into the cafeteria and look around until my eyes meet the precious green eyes I dream about. The last couple of weeks have been hard and another person that has helped me through it is Zach. I can always talk to him about anything. He also helps me through my temper. He usually just picks me up and carries me out of the room and then talks me through whatever I am feeling.

I go grab a muffin and then seat myself next to Zach. But within seconds of sitting down he hits the muffin out of my hand.

"What the frick! I was going to eat that, what's your problem?" I snap.

"Calm down! I probably should have handled this different way but anyway I have plans for us." He says with a flirting grin.

"Plans? Thanks for including me on what we're doing." I say with a confused look on my face.

"That's the point you're not supposed to know." Zach stated. "So will you take a walk with me?"

"Fine." I mutter.

We walk into the hall and suddenly Zach says,"Have you ever had a tattoo."

"NO! Have you?" I ask.

"Yeah I have one right over my heart." Mumbles Zach.

"What does it resemble?" I question Zach.

"Well, I am not sure if I want to talk about it but sometime I will." Zach smiles shyly. "But do you think you would want a tattoo?"

"Uhm, I think that would be fun."

"I am not forcing you." He admits.

"Oh I know but I think it would be good for me. I look over at Zach and just stare at him for a while.

~ Page Break~

Two tattoo's later Zach and I are sitting on top of a very high building. I started getting queasy from being this high and Zach noticed.

"What is wrong?" Zach seemed concerned.

"I think I am scared of heights." I responded to Zach.

"Oh I am sorry I guess I should have asked you if you were scared of heights." Zach slaps himself in the face.

"No it is fine. So what is your tattoo of?" I ask to change the subject

"How about you tell me about your tattoo first." When I first asked him it looked like he was scared or nervous to tell me.

"Well don't laugh but it was all I could think of." I smile shyly." Mine is a picture of a mountain."

"What does it stand for?" Zach asks.

"When I get to the top of the mountain it will resemble everything I have accomplished in my life. So what is yours?" I ask eagerly.

"Just one more question." He says to me. "Where is it at?" He winks at me.

"It is placed at the top left of my back, now on to you. What is yours?"

"Mine is cheesy but it is a picture dove. Before you ask I choose a dove because a dove resembles love." He starts turning red. "I think I am falling for someone and it is happening fast. I don't think she knows I like her so I don't know what to do." He turns an even deeper shade of red. I laughed silently at his awkwardness.

"Well what is her name, I might be able to hook you up." I nudge him with my shoulder.

"Well I need to just find out one thing." I thought to myself what could that be? When I look over at him he is studying me like a paleontologist studying his favorite bone.

"What?" I blurted. "It seems like you are always staring at me! Please tell me you are not a creeper." I try to say more but I am stopped by a soft pair of lips. He kisses me gently but soon the kiss becomes intimate. I can feel his heart pounding against me but I pull away. Zach looks at me with concerned eyes.

"I am sorry but I just don't know." I say unsteadily. I get up and start running for the dorm room. Once I finally get there I have tears all over my face but I make to effort to wipe them off. I barge into the room with no hesitation but I soon regret it. I see Katelyn and Elijah on her bed making out. I say my quick apologies and run to the girl's bathroom. I run into a stall and sit on a toilet and just cry.

I don't know what happened with Zach. I know I like him but he took me by surprise. I have never had a boyfriend before so I don't know if I am ready. I don't even know if you need to be ready to have one, then walking in on Katelyn just made me feel worse about myself.

I hear the creak of the bathroom door opening and I decide to peak through the little hole in the stall. I see Katelyn looking under every stall until she stops at mine.

"I am so sorry Alison I was going to tell you about us tonight." Katelyn say with real sincerity in her voice.

I walk out of the stall and say,"Oh no were all good. I am really happy for you. I just had some issues with Zach earlier but I would rather not talk about it. But if you're up to it I would love to go get some chocolate cake." I force a smile.

"Anything for a friend." Katelyn links our arms together and we silently walk to the cafeteria.

Please review! Have a groovyy day:)
