AN:Why Eric is like he is in the book

Eric's POV

I looked at an old photograph.  Every time it made me laugh.  How did our eyes get so red?  And what the Hell is on Joey's head?  This picture was taken where I grew up but the leaders fixed it up.  My criminal record said I'd broke into the school twice but I'd probably done it a thousand times.  Should I try to go back and graduate?

I remember when we hung out at the library.  The cops say someone burned it down.  We used to read along with the books and talk about someday when we'd become chemists or researchers or maybe even leaders or ambassadors.

Kim's the first girl I kissed.  She's had a couple kids since then.  I haven't seen her since God knows when.

God, I miss my friends so much.  I miss their sound, their faces.  I miss them now.  If I could relive those days, I know there's one thing that'd never change.  I'd find the friend I was looking for.  Now they're all gone thanks to the Abnegation and Divergent.

Every time I walk out my door I find an old photo.  It's hard to say it but time to say it.  Goodbye.
