Tobias POV
It's Monday morning. I'm waiting by my locker, waiting for Tris. I see her coming down the hall. She's talking and laughing with Eric. My heart stops, I don't trust Eric and know his up to something.
"Hey" Tris says stopping and opening her locker.
"Hey, can I talk to you for a sec?"
"Yeah, sure" She looks over at Eric who answers, "I'll see you in class." And he leaves.
"So you and Eric are pretty friendly now." I say to her as I watch Eric leave.
"I'm friends with everyone."
"You know that's the same Eric you hated 2 years ago?"
"Well, a lots has changed in 2 years." She stares right at me.
"Look I'm not here to talk about Eric, I just want to know if you've finished your art project, it's due today."
"Yes, I have but its kind of private, so I'll like to just hand it in to Mrs. Johanna." She says to me
"Fine, whatever." I leave and work off to class. What so private about a stupid drawing I think to myself.
xXxXx
The rest of the day goes by and it's lunch time. I grab my tray full with food. I see Nita walk over to me.
"So are we eating outside again today?"
"Lets go sit with Zeke and everyone else."
We sit down with everyone.
"So it's going to be hot this weekend, we should all go to the beach on Saturday." Uriah says.
"Good idea, Uri." Marlene says.
Everyone agrees to the idea until Christina asks Tris.
"You coming?"
"Don't think it's a good idea, I have things to take care of."
"C'mon Tris, ask your mum for help." Christina says. Then she looks at me like she made a mistake.
"I see and let you know." Tris says as the bell rings. She used to love going to the beach with all of us before. I wonder what is taking up most of her time recently.
I head to my locker and grab my project for Art. I sit down and wait for the teacher to walk in. I see Tris waiting by the doorway with her artwork. She starts talking to Mrs. Johanna, and hands over her work. Mrs. Johanna looks at it for a while while Tris describes her work. Mrs. Johanna looks over me and calls me over.
"Bring your work too Mr. Eaton."
I gave my artwork and hand it over to Mrs. Johanna while she looks over mine as well.
"Incredible, just like I hope for." Mrs. Johanna says. "Have you showed each other your works?" She asks us. We shake our heads.
"Why is that?" She asks us again.
"Tris said her work was private."
"What about the questions, did you do that together?
"Yes." We both answer.
"Tobias can I show Beatrice your work." She asks me and I nod. She hands over my drawing to Tris and I see Tris's eyes light up. Don't know if she is amazed or awed by it. I went through so many ideas on how I would draw Tris, but every time I started a drawing I'll always end up drawing her the way I always see her. An Angel. Her beautiful long blonde yellow hair flowing through the whole page. Her big bright blue eyes filling her face. The blue and yellow were the only colors I used, as everything was shaded in. Tris looks over at me, she blinks her eyes and I can tell she pushing back tears.
"Impressive isn't it Tris?' She asks her as Tris nods and hands the work back.
"You can see how it's the total opposite of yours." She asks her again while Tris nods again. Mrs. Johanna then hands me Tris works. As I look at it I'm shocked by what I see. Is this really the way she see me. As a devil that breaks hearts, her heart I'm assuming. I look over at Tris who looks straight ahead and avoids me.
"Interesting isn't it Mr. Eaton?"
"In more ways then one." I say.
"Go sit down, you can have free time to draw whatever you like while I go through the others works." She says as she calls the next student.
I walk off and take my seat and begin doing my work and ignoring Tris. Why would she draw that? She's the one who left without telling me and yet she thinks I'm the one who broke her heart. I can't even look at her right now, I'm so mad I just want to punch something. The bell rings and I pack my things and head out to my car so fast. I just need to leave.
"I'm sorry." I hear her say as I open my car door. I turn around and look at her.
"For which part? The one where you leave without saying goodbye or tell me why you left in the first place. The one for drawing me as a devil who apparently broke your heart or better yet, are you sorry for ignoring me after that night together? I would really like to know why you're sorry Tris, there is a long list after all."
"You're an asshole." She says with hatred and gets in her car and drives away.
I'm done with her I think to myself, she's broken me enough.
"Four!" I turn too see Christina. "Just give her some time."
"I gave her enough." I say back to her as I get in my car and drive away.
