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

Snapped

I'm so sick of everyone asking if I'm okay all time. Of course I'm not okay, have you ever met anybody who lost someone they loved and was okay 5 days after they died, NO, so STOP ASKING ME. None of us are okay Mrs. Archer has been locked in her room not caring about the rest of us, it's not like I can be mad at her, she just lost her son for pete's sake, but we all lost someone and she's acting like she the only one hurting. Mr. Archer has barley been home he is always at work and when he is at the house he is glued to the computer. Mason and Charley are very quite these days, so am I. We have been out of school for the week but tomorrow we have to go back otherwise we will fall behind in our classes, but to be honest I don't give a rats face. Police have been coming and going but they haven't gotten much out of me or the boys.

I have kind of shut down recently. It's like I want to scream and shout at anyone and everyone but my body and mind are too distraught to do much more that eat and sleep.

When ever someone tries to touch me I jerk at the feeling and if someone says my name behind me I nearly jump out my skin. People say it's just the shock, but I'm starting to wonder if it'll ever go away. I've been going over all the 'what if's' around Aiden's... what if we had skipped dauntless that day. What if I had moved in front of the bullet or never even let on that I new Aiden. I had known that it was Andrew those same dead cruel eyes are burned into my mind. They are there when ever I close my eyes, there when ever I start to day dream. Why didn't I do more to kill him before he could hurt anyone. I'm a coward that's why.

The day Aiden... something snapped in me like a pathetic little twig. I let myself cry these past few days. I let myself morn. I let myself go over every second of that day over and over and over. But I promised that when I went back to school I would never let myself get close to anyone even Mason and Charley I would block them out ignore them in the car ride over and sit by myself at lunch. I don't care what other people say about me. They can gossip to there hearts content but I will never ever let anyone in. I will make them fear me so they don't want to know me. I am on my own from now one. Once again Tris Prior: the coward who hides behind bullying, feared by all.

Hello my old nemesis Divergent High School. Did ya miss me?

I jump out of the car before Mason and Charley not wanting them to ask any questions and walk into the old building. I straighten my shoulders,  raise my head and morph my face into a complete board and annoyed expression.

"Tris!" Mason yells, running to catch up to my fast pace.

"What." I snap, not giving him so much as a glance.

He looks taken aback a bit, I don't know why I've been acting this way the entire week. I roll my eyes as he continues, "I've got to stay after school for a student body government meeting so can you and Charley take the bus home?"

I give him a big fake smile and say in a high pitched sarcastic tone. "Of course big brother anything for you." Then I let my face drop, roll my eyes and walk faster, ending the conversation.

I really hope Mrs. Mathews doesn't talk to me today I am not in the mood for her bull right now. That's a fools dream.

"Miss. Archer please come solve the equation on the board."

"It's Prior, Mathews and I'd rather not."

"I'm afraid it not a request."

"You should be afraid." I mumble to quite for anyone to hear as I walk up to the board. I finish the equation but I doubt I got it right.

"That is incorrect Beatrice." She says as I'm walk back to my seat but I stop right in the middle of the class when I hear my full name. I slowly turn on my heel to face her. She has a smug expression all over her face and I am ready to wipe it off. The room has gone deathly quite.

I start to slowly walk towards her my breathing is steady and my eyes are trained on her.
The rest of the class is completely silent   I hear the screech of the chair, but I'm too angry to care. My mind is cloudy and my heart is racing uncontrollably.

Nobody uses that name and I mean nobody. It is the name that my father used when ever he mocked me. The same father that killed Aiden. I never want to hear it ever again and I mean ever. When I am a few feet away from her she starts to get a spark of panicking in her eyes which makes me smile.

Right when I start to launch myself at her a pair of strong arms raps around my waist. I throw my elbow into their gut and they drop me. I turn to see who stoped me and of course I see Four.

"Why are always in my way! Get out of my life Four! Leave me alone!" I yell and throw a punch aimed for his face but he catches it. So I knee him where the sun don't shine and he lets go of my fist taking a step back, flinching, but not showing as much pain as I would have expected.

"Beatrice Prior, detention after school. And I'll be calling your parents personally. Go to the principles office right now. "

"Go ahead they won't care they are to consumed with self pity to care about anyone but themselves."

I turn to leave to the principles office but I decided I don't feel like getting a lecture so I turn to leave the school but a hand shoots out and grabs my arm, pulling me into a dark empty room. I start to freak out a bit. What the heck is happening. This is a moment where I wish that Aiden was with me but Aiden's... dead.
