My phone dings again and my mother shoots me a menacing stare.
"Tris whoever is texting you must have something to say. It's interrupting our dinner so just go call whoever that is and come back"I didn't protest and just shook me head
"Fine mom"I grab my phone and leave my half eaten chicken. I run toward my room and plop myself on the bed. I wipe my fingers on the hem of my shirt and scroll toward the messages.
Of course it was Tobias.He's been acting all over protective on me and it's getting irritating. When I'm around him he doesn't touch me like I'm some sort of disease. And when I'm without him I get a load full of messages.
4-hey tris
4-hey
4-u there?I sigh and scroll down to the tons of messages.
T- what do you want?His reply was instant.
4- tell me who beat you upT- no way just go away.
4- Tell me or else I'm coming to your school tomorrow
I stifle a laugh and just roll my eyes.
T-sure.I close my phone and leave it on the drawer without waiting for him to response. I stroll down and plop myself next to Caleb. I've avoided talking to him ever since my encounter with him in the morning. And he didn't make any effort to talk to me anyways.
"Who was it?" My dad asks
I shrug and look at Caleb.
"Tobias"
Caleb didn't bother looking up at me and I ignored him.My mother nudges me and I look at her. She had a sly smile on her face.
"Don't text him something you can't say out loud"I flush and she starts to laugh.
"Mom no. Gosh he was only asking me how I was doing"She playfully nods. My dad then taps his finger with a thoughtful stare.
"You know, you and Tobias haven't met for a while"My mom nods her head.
"Yes I agree I think you should go in another date. Your still not close enough"I stop eating and glare at both of them.
"No That's the problem I probably will never be close enough with him. And the last date you made me go through with was completely awkward"I roll my eyes in disgust at their silence. I get up and run upstairs again. I didn't bother to check my phone again and just went to bed.
My parents don't understand love.

I catch Christina's hand and pull her toward my locker.
"Wait did you actually" I ask eagerly.She nods her head I excitement.
"Yup!"Th students were going hurrying to lunch. I press my back against the locker to avoid getting pushed.
"So tell me everything""Well it was on Saturday. Will came to pick me up for our movie date. It was pretty late when the movie ended and it was getting dark. The parking lot didn't have a lot of people and I kind of kissed him. After that I don't even know what happened. All I remember is that we completely did it on the backseat of his car"
She eyes me and I pop open my mouth. She can't be serious.
"In the back of his car?!"She shrugs as if it's the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yea. I mean he had protection"I shake my head in disbelief and grab her hand.
"Let's go eat before I lose my appetite"After Christina and I get out lunch she leads me to where Will was sitting. The others were all smirking at him and I knew he told them.
"Hey" I say sitting down next to Uriah.He nudges me.
"Will got some sugar this weekend""Shut up" will groans in embarrassment.
"At least it wasn't your parent's car" Lynn mumbles biting into her lunch.
Marlene gasps and pushes her shoulder.
"Uriah did you tell her?"Uriah gave her a toothy grin.
"Lynn is pretty much obsessed with you Mar."Lynn brings up her finger toward Uriah and Marlene sighs.
"I'm dating at idiot. Be lucky that your good looking"Before Uriah could respond I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turn around and my breath caught in my throat.
Tobias stood there with his backpack settled on his shoulders and his lunch in his hands."Could I sit" he finally says.
No body said anything and it was completely silent. Finally the all nodded in sync and he sat down. I look at my hands while he pushes into me.
"What are you doing here?" I ask."Yeah! You don't even go here" Uriah cuts in.
Tobias shrugs.
"It's lunch. No body would bother if I left my school. I'll just come back before classes start""Well why did you come here" I ask.
Tobias's hand grabs mine under the table. He squeezes it and plops his elbow on the table.
"You wouldn't answer you damn phone so someone had to do something about it.""So now you want Tris's sugar?" Uriah's voice cuts in again. Tobias lets go of my hand and points at Uriah.
"Weren't you the kid that spray painted my shoes?" Tobias's voice was accusing.
Uriah stifles a nervous laugh.
"Well you see, your shoes were ugly and I decided to make them pretty""You painted them pink"
"Pink matches you"
Tobias stays silent and then closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath before looking at me.
"So tell me who the guy is?""What guy? Honestly be more descriptive" I say.
"The guy that fucking made you leg bleed" he finally says. I knew he was pissed off but I didn't want him to think I was weak.
"Well I took care of him so you could just go" I lean back and cross my hands.
"Why are you so stubborn?" Tobias quietly says.
"Because I am. Deal with it" I respond.
Suddenly Tobias hits the table in frustration. He gets up and swings him backpack with him.
"You can't do anything. Teachers are here" Christina says.
Tobias ignores her and looks directly at me. He was close to me and I uncomfortably lean into Uriah.
Uriah squeezes my waist for support and I challenge Tobias with my eyes.
He finally throws his hands in the air in anger."You know what Tris? This is why you fucking got raped. You listen to no one and you think your always right. Well guess what? Your not. I'm only trying to protect you but you are just so stubborn and your own stupid actions lead to this" he seethes in anger.
I blink away angry tears. Everyone in the cafeteria looks at us with wide eyes. I immediately knew they heard everything. I get up and stumble when running. My vision was blurry but I push myself out of the cafeteria doors as fast as I can.
No matter what my Mother or father say I'm not going to ever marry Tobias. He's a selfish and heartless prick and I'm determined to never speak to that drug addict again.
