Guess who's back, back again? Lindsay's back, tell your friends.
I don't own Divergent, Veronica Roth does.
"Tris, it's okay, I'm going back what, once more? Just to get my stuff before I leave for college and I'm not going to be there long, I mean, most of my stuff is here already," Tobias objects, despite his supposed words of 'reassurance' I feel no less calm.
"I don't care, I mean he's been doing, these marks are still here, they're never leaving despite how much you attempt to ink over it," I trace the fainter lines running up and down his spine.
"Tris, I'm big enough and ugly enough to look after myself, I don't want you hurt like this. I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you had a scar somewhere because of him, just don't worry," he looks at me with genuine concern, yet I can't rest, next time I meet Marcus I swear I'll shout, I'll punch; someone will have to drag me off of him.
"Okay, " I let out a sigh," If you insist, but I swear, if he injures you once more then I'm attacking him. "
"Well, maybe learn to fight first then you can beat the crap out of him for me?" He smirks.
"That's not the dumbest thing you've ever said, Tobias. I mean, not now though, I mean with the beginning of the semester being now, it's kinda hard, but you know, one day. "
"Of course, " it's obvious he doesn't believe me, and if I'm brutally honest I wouldn't either. I mean, look at me, I'm a scrawny, pale girl, who despite doing sport, distinctly lacks muscle. Tobias pulls me into a bear hug, holding me for a moment enabling me to inhale his scent once more, the one I shall never tire of.
As much as I wished to stay in Tobias' dorm, we knew that we'd still be asleep when Zeke and Uriah returned fairly early the next morning. No one disturbs me until about midday when I'm in a sleepy daze, frantic knocking comes from the door with a call of,
"Tris! I'm back! It's been so long! Get up out of bed and answer the door," I clamber out of bed and over to the door, still on the other side is much knocking. The door creeks open to reveal a smiling Uriah on the other side.
"Uri!" I swing my arms around his neck, his scent isn't half as nice as Tobias', but Uri has become one of my closet friends here.
"Four told me that you'd still be asleep, you two got in last night? " he asks, still blissfully unaware of the fact that the two of us are dating.
"Yeah, he was here about an hour before me I think. It's so good to see you." I lie, well about the time difference, not about it being good to see him.
"You too, look I'm going to the guys' room, we're ordering pizza, meet me down there? " he gives me a faint smile, the smile that even though i hadn't realised it, I had missed.
When I arrived downstairs ten minutes later, I see Tobias' smile widen almost as broad as I've seen it, yet we have to remain subtle. I can see that he wants to get up and greet me, but we don't have a line yet, the line that dictates how far we can go and claim it's still 'friendly'.
"Zeke! It's been so long!" I smile, he paces over to me and pulls me into a warm embrace.
"Yeah, long time no see blondy," Zeke pulls away. Playfully I punch him, never has he ever called me blondy and I honestly have no idea why he would call me so now.
"Blondy?" I sneer.
"Well, I thought it might be a thing, obviously not." I walk into the boys' room, still jealous of the size difference. Next year, Christina and I move to one of this size, next year Tobias and Zeke won't be here anymore and that fills me with fear. I've not thought about it before, he'll be gone and I'll still be here, yet we might not be together anymore, so I shouldn't worry. Don't worry Tris, you idiot. Calm down.
"Hey, Four," I sit down next to him on his sofa, careful not to let his real name slip.
"Wake up late enough then?" He jeers.
"Well, I guess I shouldn't have gone to bed too late last night." He knows what I'm talking about; I almost fell asleep here because of him.
"You can only blame yourself there, " Does it look like we're flirting? Can they tell? This is going to be a difficult few weeks or months, I don't know. I almost snuggle myself into Tobias as a natural instinct, but flinch before doing so and just keep close.
"I can't do this," he leans down to whisper into my ear. We both seem to unnatural, we're not like we were before and I really doubt we ever will be again, but that's not necessarily a bad thing is it?
"Nor can I, but please. I really can't say yet," I reply attempting to be as subtle as possible, but I'm not sure it came of as so.
"What are you two whispering about, " Uriah picks up on, I have a feeling should we have to break and tell someone, it might be Uriah, especially because I suspect that he might already suspect us.
"You," I lie.
"Charming you two. Will said that he's probably going to be here about five-ish and Tris, do you know when Chris is going to be here?" He asks.
"Yeah, probably at about seven I think."
"So, I say we go out into town for a couple of hours, get some pizza, buy some more crap food and a movie for later? "
So, I got quizup yesterday and I am addicted to the Divergent quiz. Try and find me, my bio tells you I'm 10otp and that I'm Lindsay. If you find me, we have to play, and I will win. (I joke, I might win)
And I also got because I get messages on here and tumblr asking things about the story and I get some repeated so I thought that we could just answer them on there. Ask me anything Divergent related or not.
Finally, I have started to review early chapters so that they're better and there's not plot holes or spelling issues. (I hope)
Anyway, Thanks for reading! I love you all so much, remember to review, follow and favourite!
