Divergent High

Chapter 29: Tobias

I wake up and feel an aching feeling in the back of my mouth. I ignore it hoping it will go away. Slowly I get up, take a shower, and put on a black tee shirt with dark jeans.

Since it is Sunday, I have nothing to do, but go to church, so I do and when I get home I lay on the coach and get bored, my jaw still aching. Ugh!

Ding Dong! I hear the doorbell so I stand up and answer it, happy to find me beautiful girlfriend on the other side of the door.

"Hey Tris!" I say.

"Hey Toby," she says giving me a kiss and we quickly try to deepen it, it doesn't work because I pull back, because my jaw is hurting too badly.

"What?" Tris asks looking concerned.

"My jaw just hurts," I say trying to make it pass as ok big deal.

"We should take you to the dentist!" she says and I immediately back away.

"Let's not go to the dentist," I say, I've always disliked the dentist.

"No more kissing until you go," she said putting her hands on her hips. Ugh! Why is she so freaking smart?!

"Fine, whatever," I say slightly annoyed.

"Come on, let's go!" She yells dragging me out of my house to her car.

"Don't we need an appointment?!" I say.

"Nope, I know a guy," she says buckling her seatbelt.

--------Time Lapse--------

We get to a dental place I have never seen before, but it looks nice.

"Okay, now let's go check you in!" she says in a perky voice.

We walk into the place and Tris goes to the front counter. She talks to the person behind it then smiles and we sit down in the uncomfortable waiting room chairs.

"So, remind me again of how we got in without an appointment?"

"Oh, my uncle owns this place, I just come whenever and he takes me," she states matter-of-factly.

"Cool?" I say, but comes out more of a question. She opens her mouth to reply but a door opens and what I assume is a dentist comes out.

"Four?" I stand up and walk over to him, Tris in my wake. "So Tris says you have some tooth pain, is that correct?"

"Yes, mostly in the back part of my mouth, top and bottom," I say and he thinks a moment before answering.

"Let's take an x-ray!" He says coming to a final thought. I shrug and follow him to a room with a big machine in it. We take x-rays and when it is finally over Tris and I wait twenty minutes for them to process it and analyze it.

The same dentist as before walks out holding some x-ray pictures.

"Four, I make it blunt,you need your wisdom teeth out," he says and my eyes widen, I hate surgery. Tris' small hand finds mine and gives it a small squeeze, in which I return.

"Oh, when? How much does it cost?" I ask.

"Since you and Tris are together basically free and I was think tomorrow or right now, it all depends, do you wanna be put to sleep or no?"

"Yes please!" I say.

"In which case you will get them out tomorrow, no food 8hours prior to the surgery, come her at 8:00AM," he said and literally just walked away.

"I'll drive you tomorrow!" Tris says happily. I give her a small smile. No matter how big and strong I appear, I still have weak spots.

"Okay, bae" I say and she pecks my lips making me wince.

"Yup, those teeth need to come out, now!" she says smiling. "Wanna go get one last meal together before you have to stop eating?"

"Yeah, but let's make it soft so it doesn't hurt my soar mouth," I say rubbing my jaw.

"Want to eat Dauntless Cake?"

"Yes! Oh. My. God. Tris that is one of the many reasons I love you!"

-------@DauntlessCakePlace-------

We both sit down in a booth and start talking. A blonde waitress comes up to the table. I look up and my first thought is, Shit.

"Hello, my name is Cara. What would you like today?" she says and I see her trying to flirt with me, he boobs right in my face making things really weird. Looking over to Tris I am surprised, she doesn't look mad, just annoyed. She rolls her eyes.

"Two slices of Dauntless cake, and get your boobs out of my boyfriends face," she says crossing her arms. Cara huffs and walks toward the kitchen.

"Damn Tris," I say and she smirks, " I take it your not the jealous type?"

"Nope, I am the annoyed type," she replies with a sweet smile on her face. I roll my eyes. We talk about random stuff when she asks a question that catches me off guard.

"Why do you like me?" she asks, that's when I realize under that tough act she has insecurities.

"Your beautiful, smart, brave, selfless, and the list goes on," I say and she just smiles and I can tell she doesn't believe a thing I just said. I am about to tell her not to doubt herself, that she is perfect, but just as I open my mouth our cake arrives.

We eat our cake in silence and then drive home. Tris and I call the school and say we won't be there tomorrow. Then we go to bed, my arms draped around her, and her head buried in my chest.

There couldn't be a better time than the now.
