Divergent High

Chapter 10

Tris

I cant stop thinking about the ear incident, and about what Four said. If I wanted to hurt you I would have already. But he already did, so does that mean that he wanted to? And will he do it again? I'm so confused.

Plus on top of that I need to break up with Robert, I have a feeling that he has been cheating on me. He is always busy, and he doesn't take me on dates anymore.

Also I think I have feelings for Four. I know I shouldn't, he stabbed me in the ear, he is 2 years older, and he is dating one of the prettiest girls in Dauntless: Lauren, which sets the bar high.

-------------------------------

Anyway, I was coming back from the Pit with my bestfriend Christina when I saw my friend Marlene and my boyfriend Robert making out near the corner of the chasm wall.

I walk right down to him and tap him on the shoulder, tears streaming down my face. I can't believe at one point I thought he was the love of my life.

When he turns to me I can see that he can see the hurt in my eyes, after 1 year, 1 year. This is what he does to me.

I do what any normal person would do and run away, tears pouring. I run pass a bunch of people and they all stare at me, I think I can see Four in the crowd.

As I was running away I could hear Christina yelling at both of them, then I hear footsteps behind me.

But I really don't care anymore.

Roberts POV

I have been dating Marlene since the second day of initation. I know, I know. It's wrong, I'm dating Tris. It's just that one day Marlene kissed me and her kiss acted like a drug on me. I couldn't resist.

Anyway, one day I was coming back from the pit and saw Marlene by the chasm. Next thing I know, she grabs me and pins me to the wall. Suddenly we are making out.

After a while I feel I light tap on my shoulder. I turn around and see my Tris. With tear streaks down her face, and with more making new streaks.

I try to talk to her but next thing I know she is running down the hall, and Christina is yelling at me, but after seeing Tris' tear streaked face I zoned out.

Fours POV

I've just had possibly one of the worst days of my life. Eric and I had a fight, Lauren keeps trying to makeout with me, and I haven't seen Tris the whole day.

I was walking back from the cafeteria when I see someone sprinting down the hall. But even by seeing just a glimpse of the person, I could see that it was Tris.

I start running after her, and see her huddled in a corner sobbing. I can't bear to see her like this and I want to comfort her, but I can't, it would look suspicious.

So I just walk up to her and tell her that dauntless don't cry.

I feel awful telling her this, but I couldn't just go up to her and say 'hey, are you ok. If it's boy problems you can always break up with Robert and come to me because I would never make your life complicated'.

After that I walk away and go to Zeke because I need a boys night out after the complicated day.
