Divergent High

Chapter 63 {Tuesday Oct. 22}

My alarm clock wakes me with its annoying beeping noise. I chuck it across the room causing it to hit the wall.

It's still beeping.

I flick it off. I don't want to get up and face the world. More specifically I don't want to face Tobias. But, I need to go to school. I don't want to be alone. I get up and walk into my bathroom to take a shower. I let the warm water loosen the knots in my back.

I get out and put on a cream colored sweater, ripped blue jeans, and brown Uggs. I apply minimal makeup and grab my back pack and walk into the kitchen.

Tobias is sitting at the island. I kinda forgot he lived here for the time being. Well this is awkward. I grab a muffin off the counter and don't bother to sit down and eat. I just get in my car and drive to pick Christina up for Starbucks.

I pull into get driveway and she's already there.

"Hey girl wha-" she stops when she sees my face.

"What'd he do this time?" She asks as I pull out of the driveway.

"He didn't do anything. I did something." I say my eyes watering.

"What did you do?" She asks.

"I told him that we need a break." I sigh. I hold back the tears. I need to stay strong about this. It was my decision I can't go back on it now.

"You did?!" She exclaims. "You guys were perfect!"

"Jesus Christ Chris thanks for you support." I grumble.

"I'm not gonna lie I didn't see that coming." She says, "but you know that I'm always here for you."

"Thanks," I say happy that she was kinda sorta on my side. I pulled into the drive thru at Starbucks and ordered 2 JavaChip Frappechinos.

"Plus it's not like we'll be apart forever. I think we just need some space to get our heads together. Also some time to be just friends for a little bit."

"Yeah okay." She said skeptically. I rolled my eyes. I pulled into the school parking lot. I take a deep breath and get out of the car. Tobias and everyone else is already in the grass in front of the school. Chris and I walk up to them.

"Hey Trissy," Uriah says. I glare at him.

"Hey pansycake." I retort. His eyes widened.

"I'm not a pansycake." He says putting a hand on his hip. This boy has too much sass sometimes. I can't help but laugh. Wow laughing feels good.

"Think what you want to." I say. He huffs and folds his arms.

I look at the clock on my phone.

"The bell is about to ring. We should get to class." I say and I half run half walk to my first class. Science.

Crap. Why did Toby have to be in all my classes?

I took my seat next to him. He hasn't said a word to me all morning. But then again I haven't exactly been miss chatty myself.

I dare to take a look at him. He was still emotionless. I frowned. Luckily Nita, who was sitting on the other side of him, has finally learned to back off.

"Good Morning class, I will be passing out a work sheet. You must be with a partner of the opposite gender." Mr. Hook says. I get the paper and stare at it. Why must this teacher be so difficult? I looked up from the paper and around the room. Everyone had a partner.

I spared a look over to Tobias. He was staring expectantly at me.

"Tris, we're still friends. We can still be partners." He says. I nod.

"Alright. Yeah there's no reason we can't handle this maturely." I say.

"Yeah." He says looking at the paper in front of me.

"Hey so, do we tell our friends?" I ask. He looked at me and for a split second I saw some emotion in his eyes.

"Do you want to?" He ask me, his eyes turning to stone again. He wrote down the answer to number one.

"Would you rather then try to piece it together themselves?" I say. I filled out question two and passed the paper back to him.

"Are we even going to be apart long enough for them to notice?" He asked suddenly very interested in the worksheet.

"I don't know Four." I say as he passes me the worksheet so I can do problem number four.

"You said it yourself. You still love me. I still don't understand why we are taking this break in the first place Tris." Tobias said.

"Because, you hurt me." I say feeling anger boil in me.

"Tris, I made a mistake."

"Tobias. I wouldn't even do that to you. You know how much I hate her. You know." I say frantically writing down the answers to the worksheet. Tears were going to over flow again. I didn't want them to though.

"Maybe I hate Theo just as much." Tobias says angrily.

"You don't. I know you don't. Not nearly as much as I hate her at least." I say slamming the pencil down on the desk. I hand him the worksheet to finish the last problem. He finished it silently. I grab the paper and walk up to the teacher and hand it to him.

I walk back to my seat and sit down and doodle in my notebook.

"Tris. Please just hear me out." He said. I looked at him. He took my silence as a cue to continue.

"When you left the house I thought you were going to Theo's." He said turning red with embarrassment.

"Well you thought wrong." I say lifting up my hand that was in a cast. His eyes widened.

"When did that happen?" He asks.

"After I got pissed at you, now continue explaining your actions." I say.

"Well. I guess my anger got the best of me." He said, "so yes I did call Nita."

I stared at the floor. I couldn't meet his eyes right now.

"But nothing happened. I swear Tris. She is trying to be a better person. And I don't love her I love you." he said stroking my hair. Tears were pouring over.

"I gotta go." I say standing and running to the bathroom where I locked myself up in a stall. I know he didn't mean to. His anger got the best of him. But he still hurt me. I can't just forgive him. Not yet.
