Divergent Acedemy

Chapter 5

Tris's POV

I just sit there at the table listening to people talk. I remember what my mom told me when I was getting ready today that we where going to look at our new house today.

"Tris, why did you move now and at the end of the school year?" asks Zeke.

"Technically, I didn't move and my mom got a promotion here so we are moving tomorrow and me and my brother ate seeing the house today after school. Does anyone want to see it? My mom said that I can bring friends after school to join."

Everyone agrees on coming and Christina asks me a heart breaking question.

"What about your dad?"

"Oh... um... I can't say."  I say resting my head on the table trying to hold back tears that are threatening to spill.

"I'm sorry Tris. I didn't mean to." says Christina.

I lift my head and nod slightly. "Its okay. Its not the first time someone asked me about my dad and what happened..." I trial off and wipe my eyes.

Christina pulls me into a hug. I don't hesitate to hug her back. I let a few tears fall but nothing else. She pulls away and me see Four eyeing my cake.

"Here, you can have it." I slide it over to Four and he gladly accepts it.

I look back at everyone and their jaws are dropped.

"What?" I ask utterly confused.

"You gave up Dauntless cake." Says Uriah.

"So?"

"It is amazing cake!" Says Zeke.

I look at Four to see what he thinks about it but the cake is already gone.

"Okay, now I know how Four feels about the cake. And I'm not hungry. Is that a problem?"

"Tris can me, Marlene, and Shauna talk to you for a sec?"

I nod and we walk out to the girls bathroom.

"This we know something's up. Now spill what it up. Now." says Chris.

"I can't." I say looking down. I remember what happened at my odd school when everyone found out that I am anorexic. I was ditched, ignored, and dissed. I was ashamed of myself and I tried killing myself because I was made fun of for 5 years straight. Even the new people found out and hurt me emotionally and mentally. It was awful. My mom would be so worried about me and my brother has always been protective of me because he was known as the brother of the mental girl. My mom has tried everything for me to eat like normally but whatever we do, I always break down because memories of years before come back to me so I don't what of depression and mental-ism. (not sure if it is a real word but I am using it.)

"Why not?" Asks Shauna.

"Because, last time people knew, I was made fun of and dissed. Even by my used to be best friends. Life has been horrible for me for years and when my mom got the promotion, my mom and brother were happy for me because I could start over and get new friends to care for me when I..." I trail off. "I can't do this anymore!" I yell and run out of the bathroom and I hear the girls yelling after me. I run into the cafeteria and get my bag and room out of the room and find a closet and I hide in it til lunch is over. I cant face my friends right now.
