Divergent High

ｔｈｉｒｔｙ

Recap:

"Beatrice," the cruelest and coldest voice in the world says.

I turn around in my seat to face them. "Peter, Al, and Drew. Thought I'd never see your faces again."

"We can say the same."

I stay silent for awhile.

"What? Your not going to give your ex a hug?" Peter asks.

"No, I'm not because you made my life a living hell for three years," I say, my volume rising. I can tell that the whole lunchroom is staring at me.

"Oh, you don't mean that."

"Trust me, I do." I get up to throw my lunch away. I walk out of the lunchroom and head to music. I wipe away a couple of tears that I didn't notice were on my cheeks.

I sit on the edge of the stage in the music room; strumming a guitar and singing Miss Movin' On by Fifth Harmony.

"I thought I'd find you in here." I jump and look up from the guitar.

"Tobias," I run into his arms and he holds me tight. Tears roll off my cheeks onto his shirt.

"Shhh," he starts rubbing circles on my back. "Look at me," he put his hands on my cheeks and wipes away the tears. I look him in the eyes. "Why are you so upset? I've never seen you like this."

"Can I tell you later?"

He nods his head.

"You know, you're hot even when you're crying."

I laugh and wipe a few tears away.

"I love you," I say.

"I love you more."

"No, I love you more."

"No, I lov-"

"We get it, you both love each other a lot," Zeke says as he and the gang stand in the doorway.

Tobias and I laugh.

They take their seats and I peck Tobias on the cheek before I sit down. The bell rings as soon as Tobias takes his seat.

I am so glad I don't have any classes with Peter, Al, or Drew! Al was always the nicest of the three, but he could still be a jerk.

Tori is the last person to walk in the class with three people following her.

Spoke to soon.😔

"Class, I'd like you to meet Al, Peter, and Drew, who are triplets that transferred here from Portland, Oregon," Tori says. "You can go find an open seat someplace."

Thankfully, the table I was at was full. Unfortunately, the table next to me was empty. Peter took the seat immediately.

"Class, this week we're gonna be working on duets, so pick a duet partner and get to work."

Tobias and I look at each other knowing that we're going to be partners.

"Hey Tris," Al-who is sitting behind me- says, "wanna be partners?"

"Sorry, working with my boyfriend."

"Who's your boyfriend?"

I motion to Tobias.

"Ready? We should get a guitar," I say to Tobias.

"Ok, I'll grab one. What song should we do?"

"Like I'm Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor."

We practice 'till the bell rings.

"Ok, class performances will be on Friday."

Tobias and I sit on my bed doing our math homework.

"Are you going to tell about the three weirdos that showed up at lunch today?" he asks out of nowhere.

"Yeah, um, back in Portland, I had a boyfriend. His name was Peter. We started dating at the end of eighth grade, and it was amazing. He was sweet, and kind, and full of wonderful surprises. I think it was the middle of freshman year when I realized I loved him. We could stay up until one am talking and laughing. I was so happy. But then one day, at the beginning of sophomore year, he changed. He wasn't sweet or kind anymore. I don't know what it was. I stayed with him because I believed I could turn him back, put him on the right path again. I realize now that it was no use, he became toxic, and there's no coming back from that." I slide my fingers under my eyes to get rid of the tears.

"Then, my father got his transfer, and it broke my heart to say goodbye. I still thought I could change him back into the person he was. I thought I could make him love me again. I was wrong. But, as I began school here on Chicago with a broken heart, I found you. You managed to pick up every broken piece and put my heart back together without even knowing it. I'm really happy again. "

We just lay there on my bed with his arms wrapped tightly around me.

"Tris, you know I would never do what he did to you right?"

"I know."

"I would never do anything to hurt you. I love you too much."

I smile and kiss him.

"I love you too."
