I don't own divergent, Veronica Roth does!
The snowstorm's not lightened, it's seems to only get heavier and heavier, yet I don't mind. The idea of multiple movie days seems like fun to me, but it would be much better if we could watch a movie in which I have some interest.
There's no sign of Caleb throughout the the duration of the first movie, I managed to stay awake, despite my lack of interest in it. However, I would really like to know what's going on with our flight. I decide to go and see him. Without trying to disrupt any of the boys I slowly lower my legs from Four's lap and stand up.
"Where do you think you're going then? Bored of the film already?" Uri teases. He has a slight glint of mischief in his eye, he knows what he's doing.
"No, I need to go find my brother. If I have any chance of leaving here before Christmas day, he'll be the one to help me. " I reply as casually as I'm able to without letting anything on. I can't stay here any longer without questioning my feelings for Four. I don't have any for him now, but with him and I being so close together I feel... different. Added to that I'll have Uriah forbidding me from developing feelings for him, which, probably will make me like him more.
"Why would you ever want to leave, are we not funny enough? " Zeke pretends to be offended, but him of all of them, he's the one who's been stressed about anything and everything at the moment.
"I'll be right back, no need for you all to get so fractious." I say in a manner that Christina would be proud of. I open the door up and step into the corridor only to pace a few steps and go through another.
The icy air whistles around my ears, causing my skin to tingle and sting. Fingers and toes are numb, but it's a good feeling. Snug inside my many layers of clothes, I wander to the Erudite dorms. Every step I take leaves a fresh, crisp footprint in the snow, as if I am the only person to have ever been here. Snowflakes fall gently from the sky, tickling the end of my nose and tempting me to stick out my tongue and have a taste. I feel like such a child in the snow. Mom never really allowed us to play in the snow. She always said that we would catch a cold, it was always just a ploy to get us to go and help the homeless. The urge to make a snowball is all consuming and I have to restrain myself from lying down on the floor and making a snow angel.
The branches of the trees bow with the heavy load they are carrying, bending towards the floor. Everything glistens, as if a fairy has sprinkled her dust over the entire world. Colours are brighter against the pure white blanket that spreads as far as the eye can see. The airs smells pure and fresh. Everything seems quieter, almost muffled. There is a sense of serenity in the atmosphere, nothing like it is during the semester, no pupils running about screaming, no music blaring loudly from the dauntless dorms, it's just... different.
I open the door to the Erudite dorms to no sign of Caleb. I have no idea which room he's in so I just step inside in some hope that he'll show himself. I wander up and down the barren corridors debating whether to knock on someone's door or not. Caleb's still new so will most people know him? Will they be able to tell me which room he's staying in? I highly doubt it.
I take a seat on one of the benches by the front doors, if Caleb's planning on visiting me anytime soon, he'll walk past me and I can finally talk to him.
I sit for feels like hours, but once I glance at my watch, I realise that it's only been about half an hour. Finally, I hear some foot steps coming from around the corner. A girl taller than myself, probably of average hight emerges. She has blonde hair with dark streaks throughout it. Her facial features seem somewhat familiar, like I've seen her before, but not as herself.
"Can I help you?" she spits at me with an almost look of disgust. She's noticed me staring at her, trying to place her face.
"Oh, I was wandering, would you know which room Caleb Prior stays in?" I ask trembling.
"Just along the corridor up the stairs, forth floor, third room on the right." She states. She looks like Will, like she's his sister, the gene seems to run throughout the family.
"Thanks, " I pause, "are you Will's sister?" It's worth a shot, I probably won't talk to her again, so if I'm wrong, it won't matter.
"Yeah I'm Cara, Will, like the one in dauntless? Why'd you ask?" she gives me a sceptical look, which I've grown accustomed to from the Erudite.
"I'm his friend, but didn't he leave this morning?"
"Well, I'm going somewhere else this holiday, I'm off to a friends." She strides past me to the door. I walk done the corridor following the instructions she seemed to have memorised surprisingly well, must be an Erudite thing. His door looks like the rest, I wouldn't have guessed it was his, thank goodness I bumped into Cara otherwise, I might not find out if I am actually going home anytime soon. I knock on his door and stair down at my phone.
Why are you taking so long? And can you bring some pizza back please? -Uri xx
