How Does One Simply Forget (Book 2- On the Edge Series)

New House Old Home

"Here we are, our new home," Aiden exclaims the second he walks through the door.

"Exactly how rich are your parents," I ask in wonder looking around the living room.

"I lost count."

I laugh and jump on the couch. "It's so comfy!"

"You're such a child." He laughs but jumps on the couch as well. After a couple moments, Aiden speaks again. "Are you worried about school tomorrow? About seeing your old friends?"

"What old friends? I'm more worried about facing all the cold glares."

"People couldn't have hated you that much."

"You have no idea how awful I used to be Aiden. I hurt anyone and everyone."

"You want me to stay with you as long as I can at school."

"I would like that. At least I will know one person won't hate me."

"You mean three people!" Charley yells when he come charging at the couch, Mason right behind him.

"Ok, ok. That's enough people on the couch it may be huge but you are all full grown 18-year-old boys and not exactly the smallest teenagers in the book.

The



Tris's School Outfit.

"I guess it's now or never," I say sitting in the car in front of the school to no one in particular. I feel someone squeeze my hand.

"It'll be ok Tris we have all the same classes except for 2 second period. But we both chose Dauntless so 4th-7th we are together that entire time. It'll be ok." Aiden comforts.

The school kept the program that Andrew put in place about the different factions. Whichever faction you chose is what you spend 4th-7th periods in.  that faction specialized in; Bravery- Dauntless, Honesty- Candor, Kindness- Amity, Knowledge- Erudite, Selflessness- Abnegation. The three periods before that are math, science, and language arts to cover the state laws of common core classes.

All four of us climb out of the car and head toward that old building filled with unforgiving memories. I involuntarily grab Aiden's hand, and he doesn't pull away. "You sure you want to do this? We can always come back tomorrow."

"No, I want to get this over with. What class do we have first?

"Science with Mrs.Matthews."

"You're kidding me."

"No, why?"

"I had her last year, she hates me. Just like everyone else."

"Everyone sit down right now." Mrs. Matthews yells at the class the minute we walk through the door.

I tried to ignore the confused and somewhat scared looks I got in the hall but I could feel them drilling a hole into my skull.

"Well, I'll be, Tris Prior is that you?" Mrs. Matthews exclaims when she sees me. "I thought you were long gone, for all of our sakes I wish you still were."

"You are like ketchup to my salad, knife to my soup, jelly to my burger. My point is Mrs. Matthews is that you are useless to me." I hear a few ooh's go around the room and Aiden snicker next to me.

"Sit down Prior."

I take a seat at the front of the classroom, with Aiden right next to me, without looking at the rest of the class, afraid of who I might see.

I start to nod off during class, but Mrs. Matthew's saw me and didn't let me get away with it. "Miss. Prior please get up and sit next to Mr. Eaton."

Oh hell no.

Hey just so you'll know I am not one of those girls that have a line of celebrity crushes a mile long. The pictures of the brothers in the last chapter are just people from movies that I thought worked with how I wanted their personalities to be.
