Author's Note: Guys, I am so sorry I wasn't able to update! I had school and everything and you know how that is. :) Thank you guys for waiting, and thanks for the reviews and follows. Also... KAT1054 IS READING MY STORY! If you haven't already checked out her story based on a dream she had, do it. It's freaking amazing.
Tris' POV
I feel terrible for saying that to Uriah. It's not like I meant for him to hear it, but I guess he was gonna find out eventually. He seemed a little weird when I told him I liked Four though. I know Uriah doesn't like him very well, he's told me before that he's too secretive to be a good friend. But I disagree. Tobias is just takes awhile before he can trust you. My cheeks heat up at the thought of him.
I feel a hand on my shoulder and jump, turning my head to see who it is. I let out a sigh of relief as I see it's Tori. For some reason I start comparing myself to her. We definitely don't look alike. She has dark hair and looks Dauntless born, while I'm blonde and small and from Abnegation. Still, I can't help but think there's something about her that's like me.
I smile at Tori. "What do you need?" I ask.
"Christina is looking for you." she replies, tucking back a strand of hair.
Christina? Why? Then I remember that I just ran out of the shop chasing after Uriah who was near tears. Of course she's looking for me. "Okay. Where is she?" I ask.
Tori's eyes meet mine and she gives me a warm smile. "From what I know, she's in her room. She's worried about you, Tris. Is everything okay? She wouldn't tell me what happened." Tori asks with genuine concern in her voice.
I nod, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. Tori's nice, but I don't want to explain everything again. "Everything's fine," I lie, adding a half smile to the act.
Tori looks suspicious but she nods. "Well, alright. I'll see you tomorrow at work. Bye!" she gives me a wave and walks away.
I start towards Christina's apartment, getting there in a few minutes. I'm about to enter when I hear Christina's voice. I'm puzzled for a minute.
She's alone, right? Is she talking to herself or something? A deep voice answers her and I immediately blush. Tobias. There's silence for a few seconds, and I press my ear to the door, frustrated I can't hear their conversation. I hear Christina say something about how worried she is and I feel guilty, like I should go in instead of eavesdropping on their conversation.
"Hey, it's okay," I hear Tobias say, and then nothing.
I'm about to pull away from the door when it flies open and I fall forward, bowling into Tobias' legs. I look up to see him completely shocked, and then he raises an eyebrow at me.
"Eavesdropping, Tris?" he asks in his Instructor Four tone.
I turn as red as a tomato and look down.
Christina doesn't seem to notice I nearly tripped her boyfriend, but instead she helps me up and hugs me. "Oh my gosh, what took you so long?! What'd Uriah say?" she asks a million questions at once and I sit down on her bed.
Tobias lingers around awkwardly and then gets the look from Christina to leave. He kisses her on the cheek and smirks at me, then leaves.
"Alright, spill! What happened?" Christina asks excitedly.
"Well, I ran after Uriah and apologized and admitted that I liked someone else." I reply simply.
Christina beams like the Cheshire cat. "Oh my gosh, Tris! Who is it?" she starts obsessing over it while I chew on my lip.
There is no way I can tell her I like Tobias. "It's, uh, Logan," I stutter out.
Christina's mouth drops. "Logan? Don't get me wrong, he's a total hottie but... Is he really your type?" Christina asks.
I want to shout no. Because he's not. Logan is tall, but not as tall as Tobias, and way too muscular for my taste. He has blonde hair that he slathers with gel, and deep green eyes. He has tattoos everywhere, and has the Dauntless seal on his neck. He's a heavy drinker and is the most arrogant, cocky guy in the faction. He's absolutely disgusting, too, and I'm not sure when he had a shower last. He is the last person I would like.
"Uh... Not really. But he's cute," I admit. And he is, once you get past all the other stuff.
Christina states at me for a minute and then smiles. "Well, I guess we're going to his party tonight then." Christina grins.
I shake my head in protest. "No! Christina, enough with all the parties! Can't we just stay home tonight and have makeovers and watch movies all night?" I protest.
Christina's face lights up. "That sounds a lot better," she agrees. I'm glad. I don't need another party, and girl time with Christina is exactly what I do need right now.
Tobias' POV
After I left Christina's apartment, I want to listen in. But I know I would probably end up being caught. As I walk away I do here something though. "Logan? You like Logan?" Christina shouts, and I blink.
What? Who does? Then it settles in. Tris, the sweet blonde girl I like, likes Logan, the arrogant pig of a guy? Why? What does he have that I don't? The ability to make people pass out from his stench? I stand there in the middle of the hallway, seething. It couldn't get any worse then this. I'm about to march right over to the bar and punch the smirk right off of Logan's ugly face, but then I see Uriah walking towards me, looking just as angry as I feel.
He reaches me and glares for a minute and I'm about to leave when he punches me in the jaw. My anger intensifies. What does this punk want? It takes all I have not to hit him back and move along. I need to know what he wants.
"You think you're so perfect, huh? You've got every girl falling for you, and she chose you over me! Even when you have a girlfriend! I'm sick of her ignoring me and giving you all the attention. She's mine, so I'd appreciate it if you back off!" Uriah shouts at me.
I immediately understand. He's talking about Tris, isn't he? Tris likes me? What the heck does he mean!
"I don't know what you're talking about, Uriah." I reply, my voice cold.
Uriah raises an eyebrow, still looking ticked off. "I'm talking about Tris, you idiot. Tris likes you. Hello?" he waves a hand in front of my face as I zone out.
All those times Tris would blush when I was around, all those times she would look like the happiest person alive when I talked to her, she liked me? I can't believe this.
I look at Uriah. "How'd you find this out?" I ask.
Uriah shrugs. "After Tris finished crushing me, she told me she liked you and not to tell you. But I'm sick of you getting everything." he says like its the simplest thing on earth.
I ignore the last part and walk towards my apartment. Tris likes me. She really, actually likes me. As I reach my apartment I'm grinning ear-to-ear. Finally thinks are looking good for me.
Author's Note: Aww! :) That was fun to write! For those of you who were confused about the Tori thing, Tris doesn't know that Tori is her aunt. Anyways, I have a question for you guys; what is your favorite book like Divergent? Mines probably The Maze Runner, Enclave, Delirium, The Selection, and Under The Never Sky. There are so many more. But anyways, hoped you guys liked the chapter!
