Tris walks in on Peter reading an Erudite article that attacks her father and the Abnegation leaders. It says that they are an abusive faction and that’s the reason why Tris and Caleb transferred out of Abnegation. Tris is so angry she almost starts a fight with Molly and Peter, but Will drags her out. We already knew the Tris didn’t like Erudite but Will is also not a big fan of them.
“They’re arrogant and dull, and that’s why I left them, but they aren’t revolutionaries. They just want more to say, that’s all, and they resent Abnegation for refusing to listen to them.”
To take Tris’s mind off of the article, Christina gets a tattoo of the Dauntless symbol and persuades Tris to do the same. Tris also buys a shirt that reveals more skin than she is used to and Christina puts makeup on her. She is definitely not a Stiff anymore.
On the way back from the tattoo parlor Tris is stopped by a drunk Four. Four is very relaxed when he’s drunk and even winks at Tris! He also tells her she looks good. When he leaves, Tris’s friends are a little shocked. At the dinner table Al and Christina asks what they talked about. I would be asking the same question if Tris and the serious instructor were getting a little cozy.
“Nothing.” I shake my head. “He was drunk. He didn’t even know what he was saying.” I clear my throat. “That’s why I was grinning. It’s …funny to see him that way.”
Will and I know that she was really grinning at Four saying she looked good. Why can’t she just realize that she likes him! Then they can be together and not have this love hate relationship going on.
I have never been carried around by a large boy, or laughed until my stomach hurt at the dinner table, or listened to the clamor of a hundred people all talking at once. Peace is restrained; this is free.
Dauntless sounds like the coolest place ever when you aren’t fighting someone or trying not to kill Peter. I would totally live in Dauntless if it wasn’t so corrupted.
