I stare at Lexi for awhile and notice how much she is like Tris. I never thought I'd be able to find anyone like her but Lexi is close to being just like her. I see so much of Tris in her.
"So Four why are you here ?" She asks innocently
"Well I think you kids deserve homes and I think I want to adopt a kid to learn the dauntless ways. Well not all of the ways but the fun stuff" I say exaderating everything but as I say this a light starts to brighten in her eyes
"Oh cool so what kid have you got your eye on Mr Four?"
"Lexi just call me Four okay ?"
"Okay" She responds "Well theres Lucy shes really nice and likes dancing and food, theres Malcom hes abit boring and then theres Marnee she loves drawing" She continues to talk about the other kids but not about her.
Theres a short silence that I fill with the question
"So what about you Lexi? What do you like?" I ask her
"Well I havent known anything other than this compound since I was little I feel like all 9 years of my life have been these same white walls and the bedrooms"
This stuff is pretty deep for a 9 year old to be saying
"Well Lexi how woud you feel if I said there was someone who wanted to adopt you ?"
"Four who wants to adopt a kid like me ?"
"Me." I respond with a smile . She finally puts it all together and a smile gleams on her face
