Chapter Four: Deep Feelings?

Tris POV

Uriah picked me up and we are now walking around the mall trying to get me an outfit for my little get together with Four. "So tell me about yourself, so I know what I'm looking for?" He tells me.

"Well, for one thing I hate shopping." I say. He rolls his eyes.

"Tell me something I don't know."

"Other than that, I don't really know who I am yet, I mean I'm only sixteen,I was at a highschool education level when I was seven, and know I could be a doctor with all the ddplomas and things I've gotten going through school. Now that my education part is over, I feel like there is so much more to learn, but at the same time I feel like I already know everything there is to know." He looks at me the hole time while I was talking.

"Well what do you see yourself doing ten years from now." I smile a bit and loosen up. He really is comfortable to talk to.

"I guess, being married to a great guy, and starting a family with him. Getting a house I'm a small town, but we would never be in there. We would always be traveling, and seeing new places."

"Traveling the world."

"Yes, I wanna see the world! The only thing I've ever seen is my bedroom wall. Now that I'm out of foster care, I- well I wanna do something with my life. The first sixteen years were all about education. I'm putting it to use in this job, and now I want the rest of my life to be like a vacation. All my life I've worked hard, and I was always told 'when you work hard it pays off'. But it hasn't yet."

"You know, your very deep for a sixteen year old girl." Uriah tells me.

"All girls are deep, and we all say the same thing, we just say it differently. No one is the same, everyone is different."

"I know exactly what you need to wear, come on. He grabs my arm and pulls me along the mall, and we stop at a very small shop with the sign in cursive that's some French word. We walk inside and it is very girly, and not me. He pulls me to the back and I watch him as he pulls dresses from the rack. He turns to me.

"What size are you?"

"I don't know, I have been the same size since I was ten so I never had to go shopping. Plus I've never wore a dress."

"You look about... Here try these." He shove dresses into my arms then leads me to a dressing room_and shoves me in and closes the door. I start to try on the dress. "Come show me when you find one you like. " Uriah says through the door.

"Okay." I say back. I try on multiple dresses and finally go through all ogpf them without any luck. I open the door I'm my regular clothes. He looks at me and j shake my head. He hands me more and takes the other ones out to pit back. We go through this cycle a couple more times before I finally find one that I like. Its black and a little to short. The back is... well there is no back and there are little white beads in some spots. I open the door and Uriah looks up and smiles.

"I liked that one to." I smile back at him. "Change back and we'll get it." I nod and close the door. I change back NAD put the dress aside while giving the rest to Uriah. I get the dress and we walk to the register together. Waiting in line there are accessories. We look at them and Uriah picks out a couple things for me. When he picks up earrings though I get a little embarrassed.

"I don't have my ears pierced." I tell him.

"Thats okay we will get them done." I nod and we pay for everything. He then takes me to get my ears pierced. I get my doubles, triples, couple midway and cartilage on my right ear. Them just the three on the left. Uriah had to put in the earrings that I'm wearing at dinner in becausei won't be able to change them for two months now. Next he leads me to a so but tells me to close my eyes. When we walk in, in not sure wear we are. When he tells me to open them I see that its a tattoo parlor.

"Uriah I am not getting a tattoo. They just ruin your body" I rptry and walk out but he stops me.

"Get something that means something to you."

"Like what?"

"Your a deep girl and you know what your dreams are. Just look around and see what you find." We look around for a couple minutes. I show him one if three ravens. "What would it mean to you? Wear would you get it." I point to my collar bone.

"I'd get them flying towards my heart. I was told that I have three other members if my family." He smiles a little.

"One raven for each member. I told you you would find something." I get that tattoo, then he brings me to a salon. He sits me down and a guy comes over and they talk quietly.

"Okay princess, I know exactly how I'm gonna make you look. And tomorrow afternoon after your shift I'll come over and do you makeup for you. Just relax." He starts to do my hair by washing it. Then he turns my chair away from the mirror. He starts working on my hair. As he's doing so, other people come over and start doing my nails and toes. They give me silver nails with the ring and thumb black, and my toes are just all black. When he finishes my hair and turns me around my jaw almost falls off my face. My hair is lighter than it has ever been before, and the bottom is dyed black.

"Well want do you think?"the guy asks. I start you run my fingers through it.

"I love it! Thank you!" I get up and hug him.

"All it took was a little sprinkle of love." He tells me. I look at Uriah confused and he just shrugs. We leave and Uriah drops me back of at my apartment.

"Go get some beauty sleep." He tells me.

"Thank you. " we hug and I go inside and flop onto my bed not bothering to do anythjng and just fall asleep.
