Tobias POV
I'm serious about what I said to my sister about Tris, we even leave early for school so I have time to speak to her but when I arrive she isn't there
Kate tells me she's probably sick
She's been acting weird, she took longer to get ready this morning then usual and she's got a permanent smile plastered on her face, not that I'm complaining - its nice to see her in a good mood
I go from class to class keeping my head down and try and get some work done - if Tris is going to tutor me I might as well try
No that I see the point - all I need is a sports scholarship and I'm on my way
***
It's break and Shauna is flirting with me but I'm not in the mood - I'm tired, training took a lot out of me yesterday and I didn't sleep well, I was too worried about apologizing to Tris
Shauna keeps touching me her hand is either on my shoulder or my thigh and she wont stop talking, I just want some personal space and some piece and quiet to think
"The stiff isn't here" She says " That takes some fun out of the day doesn't it babe"
"Cut it out will you" I say, it came out more harshly then I expected and I see her recoil but it is too late - the damage is done, I get up and walk out the cafeteria
I'm done with them teasing Tris
I see Kates worried expression and she rises out of her seat - I shake my head and she sits back down, I just need to be alone
***
Kate's POV
Tobias snaps at Shauna and I'm shocked - he never does that
He has always been a easy going flirty guy but I know he uses that as a barrier to prevent getting hurt - deep down he yearns for commitment and someone who understands him
I get up to go and comfort him but he shakes his head and I know not to push it - if he wants to tell me he will
"why do you defend him" Will asks as I sit back down
"He is my brother" I say " He would do the same for me" he is always there for me
"I bet he wouldn't you know" Al said staring after him and I'm done, I can't listen to them trash talk me brother and they shouldn't expect me to
"You don't know him" I seethe and I get up and leave
"Kate wait" Christina calls but I keep walking until I reach my next class
