Divergent High

Chapter 32 Tris' point of view

I think of all the good times we've had in our senior year. Caleb and I are dressed nicely for the last day of school sitting on our couch and Mom is crying for whatever reason.

"My children are finishing high school today and now we're never going to see them until they graduate college!" She cries.

It's not really true but I let her think that way. I slept over last night because she was begging for me to stay. I would have stayed at the other house with the girls but I still listened to her. It felt like the only small gift I could  give her as a birthday present which happens to be tomorrow.

"Mom, you just need to relax. I'll visit all the time. Maybe twice a month after I move out of the area! So I might go live in Florida and just visit you every once in a while."

"But, what about Caleb! I'm used to him being around all the time so what happens when he leaves?!" She practically screams.

"Um, hello I'm right here. You don't have to talk like I left for school already." Caleb says looking directly at Mom.

"I'm sorry sweet-heart. But when you have kids, you'll understand." She replied.

"Well, who said I was planning on having kids?" Caleb says being his smart-ass self.

"Yeah, how do we even know that he's going to get married? With his luck, he'll find true love in heaven or hell!" I say.

My mother scolds me for being "rude" to Caleb. I don't honestly care because I'm too excited to see my friends and enjoy my last day as a high school student with them. But the teachers, more like Ms. Johanna, said that we could rome the halls because they are letting the seniors this year. I guess that we have been the best class this school has seen in a long time.

When my mom stops crying and I hug my dad good-bye, I step outside and drive to school. I remember the first time I drove to this school last year. All the graffiti everywhere and all the visual art things. I remember how everything was so foreign to me compared to when I drive over to Forks, Washington where I could drive with my eyes closed and still get to the chosen destination. Here, everyone moves so much more gracefully and with passion, pursuing their biggest dreams! In Forks, we were always so limited to our choices unless we left the tiny town. I'm so glad that my parents chose to move here. Not Miami, or New York City! This is my dream life, with all of my true friends that I've learned to love from fashoinista to part time idiot.

Once I arrive to school, I see Tobias sitting on the bench that we sat on together on the first day of the school before the bell rang. That was a cool day. The boys are sitting on both sides of him and they all look really excited, even though Uriah is always excited about something. I walk up to them and say," Hey, guys!" and give Tobias a peck on the cheek, sliding onto his lap. Uriah's faces lights up a lot so I just sit there confused as hell.

"Okay, I can't take this anymore! I'm going to be famous!" Screams Uriah.

I look at him with a dubious look, but he goes into explanation on how he just got signed to a record label.

"Big Machine though I had talent so they just handed me the contract! You guys get to come with me on awesome tours if you want."He says.

"Yes! That would be awesome! If you ever need a girl as a back up singer or dancer, you know my cell phone number, so text me right away!" I yell.

About two seconds later, Tobias whispers in my ear," You're going to have to stop screaming, or I'm going to go deaf."

"Fine, I'll stop screaming for the next hour but expect me to be yelling down the 12th grade wing." I whisper back, smiling. He smiles back a small, easy smile. My favorite coming from him. I take a moment to look at him and remember that we probably won't be going to the same college. I start to cry and he frowns at me and holds me tight. He asks me what's wrong but I just can't gather up the words. We haven't split since we started dating last year, but we'll have to if our colleges aren't close by. Long distance relationships almost never work out.

By the time it's 5th period, all of us are smiling and laughing at anything. Tobias is teaching me how to dance and I just don't think I have the rhythm for it.

"Tris, just of it as 1,2,3. I'm telling you, it's as simple as a, b, c." He says through laughs.

"No, it's not! This is really hard!" I laugh. But next to me, Shauna and Zeke dance perfectly matching the beat, and may I say, they look pretty damn graceful. All their moves look natural to them, even if Shauna was having a little bit of trouble at the beginning. I look at them in envy.

"Hey, if you don't want to learn how to do this dance, you don't have to learn." Tobias tells me.

I give him a miniature smile and thank him. I can usually pick up dance moves really quickly but I just don't have the ability to dance to this music. Please let Uriah not do Latin songs! I think to myself.

I go to the edge of the room and watch Christina dance with Daniel and Zeke leading Shauna. But I look slightly to the left and see that Carmen dances by herself. She's really good at this dance, but she has no one to dance with. I walk up to her and ask her if she wants to dance with Tobias.

"Are you sure? I don't want him to think that I'm only your friends to get to him." She asks worriedly.

"I'm absolutely sure! If anything, Tobias should at least get to actually dance and not have to teach his girlfriend to dance. I'll even go with you to ask him!" I say confidently. She smiles a tiny bit and I smile back because I know that she's not the kind of girl to steal her best friend's boyfriend. So we ask and I watch them dance for a while till I fall sleep with my back against the wall.

I dream of all good things like Tobias and I adopting a little girl and boy, getting married, going out with our friends, and just anything anyone has ever wanted.

Author's note: Well, this was the ending! But that dream kind of shared some of what I'm planing to do for the next book. That's right, there will be a sequel that will start on the twentieth of this month! But, everything is not always as it seems, so be aware that that's not exactly what happens. I guess that I should do a better sign out this time than all the other times. So I just have to anounce for the millionth time that I'm not the author of "Divergent". But this is the first book that I've ever finished and I love the results that came with it. Right now I almost feel like crying, it must be the weird girl hormones! I have to do a few quick corrections and this will be declared finished so goodbye all my readers for the last time in this book.
