~Tris' POV~

"Hey, Hey" I look around to see that remarkable boy that I never seem to get to have a full conversation with.

I spot him walking up to me with a hand full outstretched and he is wearing a cheeky grin.

"Since we never seem to have an official introduction, well try it" He says with a sprinkle of eagerness.

"I'm Tobias, I live next door" He points to the structure across the lawn.

"Nice to officially meet you, I'm Beatrice and I live well here" I say while pointing the structure next to my body.

"Can I call you Tris?" He ponders

"Hmm..Sure only if I can call you Toby?"

"Sounds like a plan" He chuckles a tad.

My eyes focus on a bird that is fluttering behind Toby and I'm so curious of that fella's travels that I keep my eyes fixed on the bird until I feel warmth behind me.

I turn to see Caleb with a hard stare.

"Beatrice we must get you inside we have plenty to do"

"I know Caleb, I was just meeting our neighbor Tobias"

"Yes, I know who he is"

"If ya'll don't mind I would love to help out with any chores" Tobias offers.

"Oh that'd be gre--"

"No thank you we have everything handled" Caleb interludes.

"Oh okay just thought I would offer, so Tris I guess I'll catch you in school tomorrow morning?"

"Yes of cour--"

"Her names Beatrice and she won't be attending school tomorrow" Caleb interrupts again....

"Caleb why not?" I ask my controlling Brother.

"Beatrice we have a lot going in our family right now and I don't think it's best for you to tackle school at the moment, plus we need you here to help"

"Caleb I can assure you I can take on school and family life"

"No Beatrice he's right family comes first you should help out at home" With that Tobias walks back to his home.

After heading inside I head up to my room to start unpacking not knowing that I'm being followed by Caleb.

"Beatrice I know you don't socialize that much but when you do I don't want you socializing with that guy."

"Caleb you're right I don't socialize that much but I think I can tell when someone is up to know good and I honestly don't think Tobias means any harm so I will continue to chat with him." I respond back.

"Beatrice fine.. I don't have the energy to have this conversation with you right now" with that he exits my room dropping a note out of his back pocket.

I don't think he realized it fell, so I get up and retrieve the note from the floor tucking it into my Jeans pocket for a later reading.

After unpacking my Brother and I get called down for dinner; Kale salad and a berry medley.

"Are you guys aware that Caleb doesn't think it's good for me to go to school tomorrow?"

"Beatrice your mother and I feel the same way" My Dad retorts.

As I lay in my bed after dinner I decide to go plug in my Lava lamp and to light a vanilla scented candle.

As I'm doing so my phone dings and I see that I have a text from Toby; It was nice meeting you today.
