Tris the trainer

Chapter 12

Tobias Pov

When I come back from hanging out with Uriah, Lynn, and Marleen I walk into the cafeteria and see Al, Christina, and Will laughing.

I walk over and say "hey, guys," they look at me with looks that could cut stone. I decided to try and break the ice. "How was your fights?"

"Fine" they mumble in unison.

"What did I ever do to you?" I ask kind of annoyed. I know I left them, but I had good reasons.

You abandoned us, while we stayed through your fight, and we were fighting, to go have fun with them." He shoots a glance at Uriah. He is laughing- probably at something that Marleen said. I think they like each other. Stay on track i think.

"I dint abandon you I left because I was scared of my self and what I could do. Also I thought that I when I need to fight again, it might be one of you. I can't let my self lose control like that again. I wasn't even thinking when I was fighting, I barely remember." I say harshly.

There expression change in a blink. They are now looking at me like I'm a kicked puppy. I hate being pitted.

"We are so sorry, we didn't realize." Al says.

"That's fine, guys. It's ok," I say with over exaggerated happiness in my voice. I just want to change the subject. "So, how was your fights?" I ask again.

"Well, I lost to Will," Christina says "I think I learned how to stop losing- just stop letting people punch me in the jaw." We all laugh.

"I jut took a few hits and fell to the ground and didn't get back up," Al says. "I just don't want to hurt anyone else." He looks at Will sheepishly.

"Don't sweat it buddy," Will says. "It's not that big of a deal."

We drop the subject and start to talk about visiting day. "So, do you think your parents will come?" Will asks.

I know the answer to that question. No. "Well mine won't be, but I don't know about you guys. Would it be good or bad if they did come?"

"I think bad," Al answers thoughtfully "it's already hard enough." We all nod.

In less than a week, our family will be coming. I used to dread this day, because I thought I would be Abnegation- still facing my father ever. Single. Day.

Now I just really don't care for visiting day. I will be in the training room, punching my feelings away.

I am exhausted. But I don't feel like going to bed, so I give my friends a smile and tell them I'm going to go back to the dormitory. I just walk around the compound until my feet hurt. I love this place. I don't just want to make this place my home- I will make this place my home.

Thanks for reading everyone, sorry for the short chapter but I will update soon

Stay brave, Heather
