Chapter 13
Overhearing Conversations... Again.

"Great." I smile.

.xx.

"You are dismissed. Don't forget to bring the book next class." Our English teacher said. This is the last period of the day. And it is only 5 o'clock.

"Hey, what do you want to do now?" Christina asks me even before we can get up. She is sat right next to me. English is one of the few classes that I have with my friends. And my brother.

Marlene and Lynn are in the middle of the room, Uriah and Will are in the front, but in the corner. Caleb is next to Fernando, in the first line. I didn't had the change to talk to him yet. He is so quiet in school that shocks me. Even Al, Edward and Myra have this class with us. Which means, Peter has is too. And that caught me by surprise. I had no idea he was a Junior. He always looked like a Senior to me. He is in the back of the room, as always. I've noticed he has two friends who are always glued to him. The ginger boy is Drew and the girl with crooked teeth and short hair is Molly. And, quoting Christina, Molly has a total crush on Peter. But he doesn't seem to care. I wish he did. In that way, he wouldn't have bothered me in the party.

"I don't know. But I do know what are we going to do in the weekend." I say getting up.

"Tell me!" She squeals, getting up as well.

"Well, we have two options. We can spend the whole weekend locked in our room crying because classes have begun already, or" I say squeezing between to tables, with Christina right behind me. "We can go to a get together thing, Zeke is organizing."

"Since when do you talk to Zeke?" She asks surprised.

"Since the roof party. But he wasn't the one who invited me." I smirk thinking about the roof moment with Uriah.

"Uriah did?" She whispers. Uriah is right in front of us.

I just nod and she mouthes "oh my god".

We both go to our dorm, talking about the weekend and what will we do. Since we don't really know Zeke, neither of us know what to wait for.

As soon as we enter the dorm we are both quiet. I take my shoes of and lay in my bed, with my back facing the ceiling. Today was exhausting, and I did nothing but go to classes. When I turn around, Christina is sat on my bed looking at me.

"Don't do that!" I scream. "It creeps me out. I didn't even knew you were in my bed."

"That was the point." She smirks. "Okay, I've waited four days. Tell me!"

I sit in my bed and cross my legs.

"Tell you what?" I raise an eyebrow.

"Duh, about Lynn."

What. This girl is unstoppable! I thought she had forgotten about that. Because to be honest, I did.

"It doesn't matter, it was nothing important."

"How would you know? You haven't found out yet."

"Excuse me? How do you know I haven't? Are you spying on me?"

"No, but you just told me! Gotcha." she smiles victoriously. "Now tell me."

I roll my eyes. I have to be careful about Christina. One word too much, and she might find out everything. Not just about this, but about everything.

"It's nothing, really. I'm just wondering why do Lynn and Peter hate eachother."

"They hate eachother?"

That was what I was just talking about. Tris, short and direct sentences.

"Yes."

Not that short...

"Why?"

"That's what I am trying to find out."

"And how do you know they hate eachother?"

I have to keep this simple. I can't say I overheard Lynn and Shauna talking. But I can say something she doesn't know about.

"It's quite visible. I saw it when I got into that Peter situation at the party. The way the talked..."

"Well, I'm going to find out." She says getting up.

"What?" I ask, although I heard her perfectly.

"I'm going to find out. That got me curious."

"You can't."

"Why?"

Crap.

"Because... You can't."

"But... Why? What haven't you told me? Yet."

Double crap.

I cover my face with my hands for a while.

"Okay..." I say straightening up. "I'll tell you, but you can't and you won't tell anyone."

"Okay." she nods.

"Promise."

"I promise."

"Okay, so. I accidentally heard Shauna and Lynn talking at the party. Right before you and Marlene arrived after dancing." I started, and Christina opened her mouth to talk. "Shush! Let me finish. Shauna was saying how silly Lynn was, and how she knew Peter wouldn't hold back anymore. And considering "previous" things, from their pass, they both knew Peter was way stronger than her."

"Who knows about the truth? I mean about them, not this." She asks.

"Besides Shauna and Lynn, Four and Marlene definitely know."

"Marlene? That's easy."

"You are not going to try to find out!"

"Why not? You got me curious as well!"

"Because I think this is more serious than we thought."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean that it must be something really bad. Because I think Peter beat up someone because of that." I say.

"Or made someone's life a living hell." She adds.

"Lynn's life?"

"Probably." She nods. "I think I was a detective in an earlier life! How cool!"

"I'm black listed by Peter already. So, whatever you do, do it away from him."

"Really?" She asks excited.

"No! Don't do stupid things. But the Peter thing is serious. Whatever it is, we'll end up finding out."

"Well, I'm going to take a long bubble bath." She grins. "While I think about a plan."

"Christina, I'm serious!"

"Me too!" She says before locking herself in the bathroom.

Oh, what did I do. I shouldn't have told her.

I rush to the bathroom door and knock on it.

"Christina, I'm serious."

"I know you are. If you want to find out what happened between them you must have a plan." she yells from the bathroom. "And, my plans are always flawless."

"I hope so..." I say. "I'm going for a walk."

"Okay. Don't make out with Uriah on the way!"

"Christina!"

"What? I saw the looks you two were exchanging in English!" she giggles. "I'm wiggling my eyebrows, by the way, I know you can't see me."

I laugh and open the dorm door. I have nowhere in particular to go to, so, I just start walking. I end up in the fourth floor, next to Caleb's dorm. Since I am here, I might as well knock.

"Hey Tris!" He says opening the door.

"Hi. How was your day?" I ask him.

"It was fun."

"Fun? The english class was just boring!"

"The teacher was nice!"

"That doesn't make the class less boring."

"Hey, Caleb, I am ready." Fernando says from the inside of the room.

"Oh Tris, Fernando and I are going to the library. One girl of my science class has a sister who had the same teacher last year, we have now. And she says she always does a quiz in the first week. Want to come with us?" He asks.

"I think I'll pass. Have fun then." I smile. "Oh, have you been calling mom?"

"I've talked to her this morning."

"Oh okay, I called her yesterday. Bye."

He says bye as well and I leave the hall of his dorm. When I am about to leave the A hall, I see Lauren. She getting out of B hall, looking at her shoes. I start walking backwards slowly and I don't know why, but I hide. She was looking at the floor, but I could see her makeup all smudged. It looks like she has been crying. She begins walking up or down the stairs, I don't know, I can't see her. But I can hear her. She stops and for a moment I thought she had seen me.

"Cara?" She says, in the main hall. The hall that has "Erudite" written on and then splits into hall A and hall B. "Are you still there?" Her voice is fading. She probably entered the other hall, looking for Cara.

"Yes, what happened now?" The other girl says concerned. She is getting closer.

I hear footsteps in the direction of the main hall.

"Check the stairs." Lauren says.

"No one down here." Cara says. I hear her move again. "And no one up here."

Please don't check the halls, please don't check the halls. I beg to myself.

"One more thing. Don't tell anyone. I want to tell him myself." She whispers. But I manage to hear her just fine.

"Which him?" Cara whispers. Her whisper is so low I almost can't hear. I can't move, I'm just next to the door. And I hope that Caleb and Fernando are still in the dorm.

I hear something. Like a slap. I think Lauren just hit Cara.

"Careful. That was the arm I hurt yesterday!" Cara says.

"Sorry, I thought it was the other one." Lauren says. "The one who needs to know about... This." she whispers really low. "Don't tell anyone."

"Like I would ever do that." Cara says quite annoyed.

"I know, it's just prec- What was that?" Lauren says.

I hear laughs coming from this hall. I recognize the laugh, it's Caleb's. I know his dorm is on the right side, so, I hide myself in the left sided hall.

The laughs are getting closer and closer. When they finally disappear, I wait about one minute and get out of the hall, slowly walking to the main hall. It's empty. I start running up the stairs and in the direction of my dorm.

Which him? This? What this? What is happening? And why do I always get myself into those kinds of situation?!

Say what? Cara and Lauren are best friends?

I hope you enjoyed!
