Divergent High: Starting Over

Chapter 35

Tris's POV

My alarm wakes me up, and I get out of bed. I take a quick shower and put on black leggings and a white v-neck t-shirt. I go into my closet, tie a red flannel around my waist, put Tobias's black leather jacket, and slip on my red Converse. I apply black mascara and red lipstick.

I walk over to my dresser and put on my T necklace and promise ring. I slip my phone into my pocket, grab my backpack, and run downstairs to the kitchen. I grab a sausage biscuit from the plate on the counter and quickly eat it. The doorbell rings, and I rush to open it. I find Tobias on the other side.

"Hey, Tobias," I say.

"Hey, Tris," he says, and I hug him.

"You ready to go?" he asks.

"Yeah," I answer, and we get into his car. Tobias drives us to school, and we walk to both of our lockers to get our stuff. We meet at my locker.

"Last night was amazing. Thank you for all of it," I say.

"No problem. I love doing these things for you. Big and little. As long as you know that I love you," he tells me and pulls me close to him. I wrap my arms around his neck.

"Tobias. You don't have to do things to show me that you love me. I already know that you love me. And I love you too," I say and kiss him. We both smile when we pull apart.

"Sometimes people just need a reminder," he says, and I laugh.

"Well. If kissing me is a reminder, than I don't care if you want to remind me," I reply. He starts leaning in when the bell rings. We both sigh.

"I'm expecting that reminder later," I say, and he laughs.

"Bye."

"Bye." I wave and walk off to my first class. I sit down at the back and pull out a notebook.

I really do love Tobias. He makes me happy, and he's the one that helped me. He's the one that convinced me that I am beautiful; that I'm perfect even though my past isn't. Sometimes I don't believe him, but I love when he says it.

It makes me feel wanted; it makes me feel loved.

The bell rings, and I walk to the cafeteria. I go through the lunch line, get my lunch, and sit down at the table. I start eating my food, and Tobias soon joins me.

"Do you still want that reminder?" Tobias asks, and I laugh.

"Of course I do," I answer, and he kisses me. He starts eating too, and we all eat in silence for awhile.

"Have you guys ever wondered what it would be like if something happened to us?" Will suddenly asks.

"No," Zeke says. "Why?"

"I don't know. Last night I had a dream where one of us died, and the rest of us were miserable. When I woke up, I couldn't get my mind off of it. What would be going through our minds if that actually happened? Would we be sad, depressed, miserable? Or would we be angry, hateful, suicidal? Would we hate the world or just hate being on it? All of these questions have been going through my mind all day, and they're killing me," Will explains.

"Will. You don't have to worry so much," Marlene says.

"I can't help it. These thoughts and questions won't leave my mind. I feel like it's some kind of sign. Like something's gonna happen to one of us. I just wish it would leave my head," he says and puts his head in his hands.

"Hey," Christina whispers and grabs Will's face in her hands. "Calm down, Will. It's ok." She kisses him, and he calms down a little.

"Has he done this before?" I ask Tobias while Christina is still whispering to Will.
