Tris POV: 

I walk to the spring in a orange dress and white flats. When I reach our spot, Tobias isn't there. I sit on a rock. He's been acting really weird and there's not really much I can do. Every time I go near him, he's starts freaking out. 
I sigh. 
"Guess he's not coming." I whisper to myself. 
I trudge back home. Feeling even worse than before. 
-----
Christina and I walk to the palace the next morning 
"Hey. You feeling okay?" Christina asks me. 
"Sure." I say. 
"Tris." 
"No. I'm not okay." 
She hugs me. 
"It's okay." Christina reassures me. 
"I hope." 
I walk to the kitchen to Lynn. 
"Hey Peachy. How's everything?" Lynn says. 
"It's okay." 
Then I hear talking from the dining room. 
I don't catch what Marcus says but I hear Tobias loud and clear.
"Fine. I pick Nita!" Tobias yells. 
I feel my heart break in two pieces. 
"Lynn. Tell the queen and the king I wasn't feeling too well. So I left." I say and run out of the palace.
Before I even reach my destination, I burst into tears. 
I sit against a tree crying my eyes out. 
Was I just part of a cruel plan?
