Tris Prior's Selection

Chapter Fourteen- It's a good idea

Tris' POV

The shouting can be heard from the ladies room though it's unclear what's being said. What is clear is that one of the people shouting is Tobias and he's continually saying the word 'mine' through his rant.

"Ladies! Please proceed to your rooms." As I follow the crowd of girls out, Patricia makes eye contact with me and pushes towards me.

"He was shouting that I was his you know, he really loves me. We have a connection." I roll my eyes and continue walking up to our rooms. Patricia continuing to gloat and watching freakishly carefully which room I enter.

Inside, my maids squeal and begin to undress me.

"Did you make up?!" Joan squeals despite the fact she's a grown up and not a teenager.

"Yeah, I think so." I mutter, tired and confused about what Queen Jeanine was talking to me about.

"Come on sweetie. Let's get you to bed. Don't want bags under your eyes do we?" Marie babies me, pulling a large t-shirt over my head and helping me into some dark tartan fleecy bottoms.

Eagerly I make my way to bed and am asleep in seconds.

-

"Lady Beatrice!" I wake up to a hissing, low voice and am pissed to see its still clearly the middle of the night.

"What is it? Wait, who is it? Joan? Lacie? Marie?" I yawn my maids names out.

"No. It's Zeke and Uriah." I frowns and then yawn.

"Great. What is it? Tired.." I mutter. Trying to bury my face in my pillow.

"Tobias told us to tell you not to take the offer. Do not go with Eric and his family okay?" I nod sluggish.

"Why didn't he come and tell me himself earlier." Uriah chuckles nervously.

"Funny story actually, he was shouting that you were his and whatnot and his dad sent him to his room and he can't come out."

"Great." I mumble. "Now let me sleep." Zeke and Uriah yawn too and walk off, I hear them crashing into the bean bags in the main part of the room.

"We're crashing here tonight! Night Tris!" I moan in response and let my much needed sleep commence.

-

When I wake, the first thing I register is the loud snoring coming from the main part of the room. It takes my groggy brain a few moments to recall Zeke and Uriah are still here after our midnight conversation. Then I start to remember what they told me.

Tobias was fighting to keep me. He referred to me as his.

I can't decide wether I like this or not yet.

Slipping from my bed I go to use the bathroom. Glancing at myself in the mirror and seeing my hair still in the bun and the makeup from last night still in place but a little messier. I remove the metal flowers and then the makeup carefully but leave my hair up to keep it out of my face. When I walk out to Uriah and Zeke I kick them in the side until they're awake.

"Don't you guys have to be somewhere?" Uriah shakes his head and I sigh. Collapsing into the bean bags with them.

"Day off Trissy-kins, Sunday." Zeke mutters. I whack him as there's a knock on the door and we end up attacking each other.

"Come in!" I call, the door opens to reveal Tobias who I instantly smile at from my placing pinning Zeke down.

"Hey." I grin at him, he doesn't return it.

"Tris, It's a good idea, for you to go with The Matthews back to England."
