Chapter 28: Can you be a girl?

Tris is pissed at Four/Tobias still, and so she goes to visit Caleb because she wants that piece of home, plus her mom told her to go and ask him about the serum. But because Caleb's also a prick, he and Tris get in an argument, and then Tris gets taken and ends up in conversation with Jeanine. Jeanine is the one whose voice is in the aptitude test, as well as the evil mysterious voice talking to Eric about killing all the Divergent.
Tris lies to get out of that situation (Tris's aptitudes quite obviously did not include Candor.) and goes back to the Dauntless compound, where Eric is waiting for her. His sadistic little plan is to eventually have Tris's head on a stick, to make a name for himself and to make her into an example. But guess who saves the day?
wait for it...

Tobias!
(betcha didn't see that coming..)

They use their nifty little telepathic brains and Tris all of a sudden becomes this vulnerable little girl, sniffling because her handsome instructor rejected her attempts to kiss him. Tobias verifies the story, and then gets her away from Eric. Then he goes all protective, and she gets pissed, accidentally calls him her boyfriend, and then they kiss.

Tris goes back to the dorm and guess who has since hooked up? Will and Christina.
"Can you be a girl for a few seconds?" ... "Will kissed me."
..."What?" I demand. "When? How? What happened?"
"You can be a girl!"
They chat for a little bit, Tris finds out Christina's afraid of moths, and they laugh about it.

Later that night Tobias and Tris go get on the train, make out for a while, and Tobias tells her about what he's found out about some war plans.

Erudite and Dauntless are going to team up against Abnegation and they don't know how.

  1. The way you described Tris and Christina's conversation made me realize that underneath it all, Tris really is just another teenage girl, no matter how hard she tries to fight it. What do you think Tris would be like if she was in our shoes, living a normal life?
