Divergent High

Chapter 18

A/N sorry I made you wait so long. Anyways, here it goes!

~Marlene POV~

After saying that I sigh relieved. There. That wasn't so bad, was it? Okay, maybe it was a bit but i'm glad I told them, after all they are my friends. I wanted to keep talking but them I freeze as I feel bombarded with all the questions.

"What?"

"When?"

"Where?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

"Why arent you talking?"

I yell "Because you're all screaming at me!" They all fall silent. Good. Then I begin with my story. "It happened the day after the party...sunday. We saw each other on starbucks and he was alone. I thought it was polite to say hi, so I did..." I stop talking remembering that day he was so cute the way he looked at me-

"Aaaand...?" Chris asks.

"Right. So we talked for a while about school...then life...then he started to make some jokes...i laughed...and we kissed"

"You kissed...at starbucks?" Lynn asks.

"Yea..."

"Starbucks? Really?!" God, is she dumb? I said yea.

"Yea, what's the matter?"

Shauna barges in. "She means that it wasn't particularly a romantic place for you to kiss." She nudges Lynn's shoulder. "Right?"

"Mhm" she says.

"That doesn't even matter!" Chris says. "You kissed the enemy!"

"But he didn't look like one when we were talking." On the contrary, he was so sweet...

"He's just playing with you! He will break your heart and move on to the next girl."

I refuse to believe that. I can't think that way. "Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean it will happen to me!" I complain but inmediately cover my mouth. I shouldn't have said that. She is my friend and she looks after me all the time.

She must have seen my look of regret as she shakes her head. "I was just saying... But if he dumps you and you start feeling sad and dissapointed, I won't be there for you. Not this time"

I nod and look down. "I get it." Then I look up again. "Can you just be nice to them?" They start glancing at each other deciding what to do. I look at all the faces and turn to Tris. She hasn't said a word since I started speaking. Her eyes are wandering vaguely and they look guilty. I dismiss it quickly. Maybe she is dissapointed of me.

"Fine" Shauna concludes. "We won't mess up with them"

I smile brightly. "Thank you!"

After that, we start talking again like nothing happened. About school and different things we did on weekend. Just then, I watch Uriah stand up from his table with his friends. He sees me and he waves smiling at me. I smile and wave back. My friends notice me and they look at them. Not glaring, just looking. Zeke stares at Uriah confused and flicks the back of his head. I chuckle and watch them leave. Just then I see Four keeping his stare on our table after my friends turn their trays. Tris turns her head to Four and they stare at each other. Then she turns to her plate with a slight blush on her cheeks. I watch Four leave. I turn to my dessert when I realize.

Oh

My

God

~Zeke's POV~

After we leave the cafeteria, I flick once more Uriah's head. "Dude!"

"What!" He asks like a dumb.

"The heck you were doing?! Waving the blondie!"

"Her name is Marlene..."

"Whatever!" I say "What were you doing!"

"Waving..."

"No kidding Captain Obvious." Will says. "Why were you waving...and tell us a coherent story."

"Fine... i kissed Marlene the other day-"

Will cuts him off. "I said a coherent story"

"That's the story." He says and we all stare at him.

"Dude!" I say

"Don't dude me!" He complains. "It was a kiss... She was being sweet so it just happened..."

"Just happened?" I say. "Am I supposed to believe that?!"

"Well, do you like her?" Four asks and I turn to him. "Really?!"

Uriah speaks again scratching his hair. "Well...kinda. I mean she was nice"

I groan. "God why her?! Of all groups of people! You know we hate them!"

"Zeke, i'm not going to ask you to start dating one of the group... Just be nice."

I raise an eyebrow. "Nice? Nice does not fit with them!"

"Please...." He gives me puppy eyes.

Dear Lord...why am I doing this.

I glance at the rest. Will doesn't say anything he is neutral. Then I turn to Four who is just staring at his shoes glaring at them. I groan and say. "Fine... But don't force us to get along with them"

He nods and grins. "Thanks!"

I roll my eyes. "Let's go...we have dauntless subject." I turn to Four. "And you have to help her again, right?" I already told Will the idea as he wasn't around that day and he agreed.

He nods. "Yup. Let's go"

A/N short I know. But I had to get used to this PoV's that were kinda hard for me. Anyways! All rights to V. Roth. Remember
