Effulgent

Chapter 11

Tris POV

What am I going to choose? I'm so nervous that I almost miss my name being called. I walk up to the center of the stage and say.....

"Faction Ambassador and Initiate Instructor." I did not mean to say that. It just flew out of my mouth.But still, I made the choice. I look to my left and see Christina and Will cheering along with all the Dauntless in the crowd. I walk down the stage. I go to the chasm again. And yet again, tears flow freely down my face.

"Tris," A man's deep voice startles me. Tobias."Nice choice. Congrats!"

He sounds so happy.

"Look, if you're here to break up with me why don't you just say it? Do you want me to be the one? Fine, we're over." I tell him. I turn around and he looks flabbergasted and alarmed.

"Tris, no. No way. Don't you like me? Am I not good enough for you? I'm sorry I'm like this. But I'd go crazy without you. I'll be broken beyond repair. Don't leave me. Wait, what am I thinking? You don't deserve anyone like me. You deserve someone so much more handsome." He says and I grab him.

"No! That's not what I meant. I just figured that you weren't listening to me because you found me and my voice annoying or something. That's why I came back without even telling you. I figured that I should keep to myself more around. Call me crazy if you want, but it hurts a lot." I tell him.

"As for the handsome part, I don't think anyone could be more good-looking than you. In my eyes, you're a fallen angel. I'm the one who feels I'm not good enough for you." I finish. He takes my face in his hands.

"Tris, you're beyond perfect. I like you because of what you are on the outside, but I have to tell you, I love you because of who you really are. I don't find you annoying. You have the most amazing voice. I like how it makes you unique. You are beautiful and perfect. The only reason I wasn't paying attention was because I was thinking about you. I'm sorry about that." Ha says. I feel so silly so I start giggling. He laughs.

"So, are we okay now?" He asks eagerly. I nod and he takes my face in his and slams his mouth down on mine.

"So, I guess we'll be working together now?" He asks happily.

"Yay!!!!!!!" I yell. He laughs again.

"By the way, what were you even talking about while I wasn't paying attention?" He asks.

"I was talking about how we would be bombarded with questions by all our friends when we got back here." I say.

"Oh yeah, girl, I don't know about Christina and Will but Zeke and Shauna would give me a migraine."He tells me.

"Pssh, that's all you got? Christina and Will would strangle me. I would get some pills ready for you if you want." I joke.

"Oh, if that's the case I better get ready for a funeral." He jokes back. We both burst out laughing.
