Divergent High

Segment 20

Hey guys I just wanted to say I never thought I would get so many views and votes an I am so grateful. It means a lot to me. I read all of your comments and they really give me the inspiration to continue. So for that I will give you a partly longer segment ;) . Ily!

Tobias and I run as fast as we can, our breaths coming out quickly.
"Tobias! I can't." I pant as I rush to keep up with his long strides.
"Yes you can." He encourages but my legs are saw and my lungs are on fire.
"We can wait for the next one." I know we won't make the train but Tobias insists. We run over the bumps in the ground to keep people back as the train doors nearly close. The train is already on a move. He is crazy if he wants me to jump onto a moving train.
When he reaches the closest door he jumps up onto the small step and holds onto the bar. He reaches his hand out for me. He is crazy. I can't jump onto a moving train.
"I'll catch you!" He promises. The wind whips through my hair and stings my eyes. They begin to water and my image is no longer clear. What if I miss. I am jumping onto a moving train blind. I am stupid. I will surely regret this. But my vision isn't too blurred that I can't see Tobias's warm face. If I don't jump he will leave without me. His eyes are a deep blue and as I jump, all I see is those beautiful eyes. I let out a screech as Tobias's strong arm wraps around me and pulls me into him. His warm kiss on my forehead soothes me. He taps the button to open the door and we step into the train. Inside sll the passengers are watching us with wide eyes.
"Are you stupid?" One of the old men demands.
"No but we are free." I smile at him. I'm in too good of a mood to argue with anyone right now. When Tobias is holding me close to him I can never be angry. The things this boy can do to me. The old man grumbles and looks away.
Tobias takes me off the train at the third stop. I recognize where we are straight away. The spring carnival. My parents used to take me, when I was little, here all the time. But they stopped taking me when the all day pass got expensive.
Tobias takes me inside and buys us tickets. I gasp when I see the price.
"I am paying." I demand.
"Not a chance love." He laughs and pays. I feel a warmth burst through me when he calls me love.
The first ride he takes me on is a roller coaster and when we get off I am sick to the stomach. I find myself vomiting into a bin and him rubbing my back. This is so embarrassing. I hate roller coasters but I wanted to do something for Tobias.
I didn't even realize he was gone before he is back with fairy floss. We sit down on a bench and eat it while talking about ourselves. I find out he used to be quarterback in his old school's team and that his favourite subject is English. After some gossip and fairy floss I feel much better.
"My choice now." I jump up and Tobias laughs. I take him to a rocking boat ride and have so much fun. When we get off Tobias looks annoyed.
"That wad the most boring ride I have ever been on!" He complains.
"It wasn't that bad."
"Oh yeah?"
"You had me." I stand on my tiptoes to kiss him but he only briefly kisses me and then pulls away.
"You're favourite animal is a Bear right?"
"Yes why?" I ask.
Tobias walks over to a stand where he pays the man to shoot some cups with a toy gun. He hits them all down so easily and wins me a huge, fluffy Bear. I hold it in one hand and in my other I hold Tobias's hand. He takes me on a ghost train and I dig my face into his chest.
"Scared?"
"No." I squeak and he laughs. He moves my face with one finger so that our faces are only inches apart.
"You never have to be scared when I'm here Tris. I will protect you." I smile and then kiss him. For the rest of the ghost train we kiss and when it comes to an end the ride operator has to yell at us to get off. I blush and Tobias laughs as we climb out of the cart.
It is getting darker by the moment and soon enough the carnival is lit up with bright lights and swirling colours.
"Come on. I know where we can go." Tobias pulls me into the Ferris wheel queue.
"Sorry but Ferris wheels aren't my thing. They're too slow."
"We're not going on the Ferris wheel. I hope you're not afraid of heights." He smiles. I am about to ask him what he means but then he gets us tickets. A tour guide joins us and I look at Tobias questioningly. He just smiles and then follows the guide as they begin to climb the Ferris wheel. Oh my god.
