Chapter 27 (part 1)

I wake up the next morning, hoping no one will mention last night's truths. Although I already know they will. Especially Dean. But, right now I don't even care about me. I care about what people are gonna think about Tobias. If people find out that we're siblings, everyone will think what Dean said was true. That he's a dog that's been kicked his entire life, even though that's not true. It's 6 in the morning right now, so I start to get out of bed. I notice Jake and Katherine are already up, and I look down when they see me.

"Hey," I say getting up quietly, and taking my clothes

"Hey," they both say quietly, smiling slightly

"Guys," I say "It's fine. I'm out of that house there's nothing to worry about. And I'm not just some kid that's been abused my entire life. I came here for a reason."

"We know," Katherine says "We just feel bad that you were forced to say it"

"You guys shouldn't feel bad," I say "Dean should. If I fight him today I'm gonna knock all his teeth out"

They laugh and Jake says "I'll be happy to watch that"

I smile and go to take a shower and get ready. Today I decide to wear a black short sleeve crop-top. I wear a short sleeve, crop-top with high waisted black jeans, and leave my hair down for today. It's still comfortable enough to fight in. I brush my teeth and walk into the dorms, and then it's Katherine's turn to shower. I put away my clothes from yesterday and go to sit across from Jake.

"Jake, what's up?" I ask

"No, nothing why?" He says

"You seem different. And not just because of what happened yesterday" I say

I might have heard something on the TV yesterday," He says

"What?" I ask

"Marcus is coming to Dauntless," Jake says.
