Chapter 4
Beatrice P.O.V.
"Beatrice!" Someone's shaking me. "Beatrice. We have to go to community service in ten minutes." I roll over, I really don't want to get up. I hate living in this sea of grey so much. "Thanks for waking me up Susan." I smile at her.
"Sure thing." She walks outside and I get my shoes on.
When I look up Susan is back in the room, "Bea there's some guy outside. He said his name is Jackson." Oh.
"OOh! Beatrice has a boyfriend!" Stupid candor smart mouth. He's not my boyfriend, he's just a friend. "Amber I do not have a boyfriend. He's only a friend. Be quiet." I am trying to be selfless, but some people don't make that very easy. I'm not selfless. I'm selfish.
As I get into the hallway I hear my name and turn towards it. "Hi Jackson." He looks worried. I wonder what's going on. "What's wrong?" He grabs my arm and leads me to a place that I didn't even know existing. Its a dark room, not very big.
"Beatrice I like you. I like you a lot. But I'm worried. We aren't supposed to show affection, What if we get caught?" I hug him and kiss him on the cheek.
"It's okay Jackson. We can be together. We will find a way. I promise." his eyes twinkle, "really?"
"Really. I can break a few rules, I hate this sea of grey anyway." He looks at me and our eyes lock. He kisses my forehead, and then my nose.
"I think we should probably go. We have things to do," he says.
"Yay!"
"Wow, the sarcasm is just pouring out of your mouth." We both laugh and I catch myself staring at him. I think I love him. I love his warm and thoughtful brown eyes, his perfect smile that is always so sincere. It isn't all about the looks either, he's the absolutely nicest guy that I've ever met. He's always trying to be himself, but this sea is drowning him as it is drowning me.
Today we have to help load boxes into the trucks. They're really heavy and I hear liquid swishing around inside. There is some dauntless guy driving the truck. There are two Dauntless leaders talking on the side of the truck. One of them has way to many piercings for my liking and he's talking to another leader, "...he just left Max. That's why I'm a leader and he isn't. He's a coward who would rather be factionless than be dauntless." Who are they talking about? Nobody would want to be factionless. I hear that it's worse than being dead.
Jackson's voice interrupts my thoughts, "Beatrice follow me." He leads me to a place where there aren't any people and starts to talk quickly. "I think something's going on. but I don't know what. Everyone is so tense. And see those leaders over there? They look like they're prepared for something. Something big and I will figure it out. Beatrice, we need to talk when there's no one else around. Meet me in that room we were in earlier okay?"
"Okay." I love you. I say it in my mind, I'm not sure if I should tell him yet. I'll wait for the right time.
I apologize for the shortness of this chapter! I'm working on longer chapters:)
