Tris POV

I'm sitting on the extra bed in Caleb's room when an idea comes to mind. I could possibly stay with my par- no. That could never happen. The Erudite wouldn't allow it. My parents wouldn't want me anyways. But besides that, I'm going the cowards way out by running from my problems. I'm being a coward. I can't. I am brave. I need to go to back to dauntless, then school and show them I don't care. I. Don't. Care. I smile at that thought. I'll stay with Caleb until tomorrow and then I'll face my fears, and do what I've been taught. Be brave. My thoughts are interrupted when Caleb comes through the door.

"Hi." I mumble and stare at the floor. He nods and goes to his desk in the corner to do more work. I could never survive in Erudite. I shake that thought and start to think of my own problems again. Am I really running from my problems? Or do I just miss my family? I'm disrupted once again when I hear a soft, knock at the door. It opens and I see Cara.

"Hello Tris." She says. I wave.

"Caleb, could I speak to you?" She says. He nods and they go out into the hall. Caleb comes back in after like 10 minutes.

"Beatrice I have to go, I probably won't be back until tomorrow so I just want to wish you the best of luck." He hugs me and he leaves. I sigh. I can't run from my problems. I am not a coward.
