Different in the Same Ways

Chapter 15

You've got to be kidding me.

I immediately look over to see Luke with wide eyes. We both stand up from our seats and walk to the matts. I look at him closely and see sweat dripping down his face. I close my eyes and exhale the breath I was holding in. I can do this.

Luke's just standing there so I just make a move, I run up to him and pretend I'm gonna punch him so he covers his face, well I actually trip him.

On the way down he grabs my ankle and hits my rib cage. I wince and grab his arm and I twist it. He groans and slams my head into the matt, making me dizzy. I slowly get up while he trips me again.

That's enough.

I grab his uninjured leg and pull his body to the floor. On the way down his leg hits me in the face, on accident. Ellie gasps and I don't move. I lay there, doing nothing a Dauntless would do. Being a coward.

**

I suddenly jolt up and see Ellie with ice on my forehead, where I got hit.

"I didn't even know I passed out," I mumble.

Ellie nods her head and says, "Yea you passed out a few minutes after he kicked you."

I look around and see no one here. "What time is it?" I ask.

"Everyone is eating breakfast you've been out since yesterday evening," Ellie says.

I get out of bed and put my shoes on.

"Where are you going?" Ellie asks.

"To the cafeteria, I'm hungry," I say in an obvious tone.

I stand up and walk toward the exit and head towards the cafeteria, with Ellie right behind me.

I quickly open the double doors and ignore all the stares. I grab a pancake and syrup, and find an empty table.

"Where's your crush, Ellie?" I say mischievously.

Ellie's face reddens and her eyes go wide.

"What? I d-don't like h-him," She stutters.

I look at her like she has 2 heads, "Seriously?"

"Y-Yes," She says nervously nodding her head.

Now I look at her like she grew 3 heads, "Dude I'm not dumb, you like Alex, figured that out a long time ago."

She sighs and says, "Fine, I like him."

"Soo, where is your crush?" I ask.

"Over there," she points to a table Alex is reading a book and eating cereal.

"Well," I say quirking my eyebrows up and down.

I get up from my seat a run towards him. I grab his arm and drag him over to where Ellie's sitting.

"Alex, you like Ellie, correct?" I ask.

He nods his head and Ellie blushes.

"Ellie likes you too so you two are now

dating, you may hug each other or whatever." I say moving my hand around.

They look at each other awkwardly and I push Alex against her.

I burst out laughing.

Both of them are red like a tomato from Veggie Tales and Ellie shoots daggers at me.

I stand up from my seat and walk away from them so they could talk and all that nonsense couples talk about.

I shiver that my two best friends are dating.

Weird, like weird from Hannah Montana, like Emily and Oliver dating..

Gross..

***

I sigh and lay down on the floor, being to tired to walk over to the dorms. I've been training on my own for a long time m, I can't even take it anymore.

I close my eyes and put my arm over my face so the lights don't blind me through my eye lids.

My stomach growls loudly.

Darn you stomach..

I get up on my feet and head to the showers. After I take a shower I put on a plain black t-shirt and black skinny jeans and put my hair up in a messy bun.

I don't have time for blow drying my hair, well I do but I'm to lazy to do all that jazz.

I walk to my bed and sit on it Indian style.

I grab my bag and take out a packet of s'more pop-tarts.

I grab a book out of my bag called Les-miserable, it's really good so far.

**

I finish my pop-tarts and I dunk the wrapping paper in the trash can. I walk back to my bed and close my eyes till I fall asleep cause I love sleep.

You probably already figured that out..

Hello my lovelies! I am on my way home today so look for more updates! Sad thing is that I starts school tomorrow! I was thinking if you want to private message me a cover of this book I would gladly give you a shoutout! I am so astonished on how many reads I got!! My goal is to get up to 1,000!

QOTD : What do you want to be when you grow up?

For now, I want to either be an author or a teacher!
