Divergent High

Chapter 15

Kate's POV 

Tobias drives to the party in silence 

I can feel butterflies in my stomach - I still don't feel comfortable going seeing as Tris pulled out and I hardly know anyone 

I walk in the door and can already smell the alcohol and I can't hear myself think over the noise of the blaring music and everyone yelling just to talk to the person next to them 

Tobias tells me he will be back before disappearing into the crowd 

Great  I think to myself  I can't believe I was excited about this party 

I stand in the corner awkwardly and looking at everyone talking and dancing, there must be 50 kids here 

I spot Christina and Will making out and take a seat on the couch not wanting to be close to them after what happened 

My phone pings and relief courses through my veins as Tris tells me she tells me she is coming 

I don't have to wait too much longer 

I see Tobias wander over with a red plastic cup in his hand  

"I am going to go and find the boys are you ok?" He asks concerned, I just nod 

"You sure?" He asks 

"I'll be fine, go have fun" I tell him 

I don't want to ruin his night by making him worry about me, he needs to escape his head as much as I do 

By the time Tris wanders in the party is in full swing 

She looks pissed 

" What's up?" I ask her,  Her eyes find my brother sending daggers into the back of his head  

If looks could kill, he would be well dead by now 

"Nothing, don't worry about it" She sighs " I should have known better"

"What did he do?" I ask bracing myself for what I'm about to hear

"I don't want to talk about it, He is your brother so I'm gonna keep my opinion to myself" She tells me

Tris is respectful like that, she may hate him but she never talks about him with me that often and respects me when I defend him 

"Hey ladies" Uriah says coming over "I thought I saw your brother Kate" 

"Yep" I sigh 

Is it bad that I just want him to see me for me? 

Everyone looks at me and sees him, I thought Uriah was different

"I glad you came, I wasn't sure you would" he tells me and the not of tension dissipates as I realise he was just looking to see that I had come and seeing my brother confirmed it 

"Thanks although I'm not really feeling it" I tell him honestly

"Well we are going to go and play truth or dare in the other room, you guys should come, it will be fun" Uriah offers 

" Sure" I reply and turn to Tris " Do you want to?" 

"Why not?" She answers and we follow Uriah out  

I don't really like the game but I'm kind of stuck for other options right now, besides how bad can it be?
