It's not about Al," I snap. "It's about everyone watching! Everyone who now sees
hurling themselves into the chasm as a viable option. I mean, why not do it if everyone
calls you a hero afterward? Why not do it if everyone will remember your name? It's ... I
can't ... ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Scrying the wind is very difficult, Tris," Niko said gently. "It's like scrying the future. You're assailed with thousands of images - fragments, really. It drives many who try it insane." "You learned to scry the future," Tris pointed out. "And a number of people have informed me they think I am mad," Niko replied, his voice very dry. ~ Tamora Pierce
Tris quotes by Tamora Pierce
We have to go," Tris says, and I know she's not talking about leaving Michigan Avenue or taking Edward to the hospital; she's talking about the city. "We have to go," I repeat. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Morning," I say.
"Shh," she says. "If you don't acknowledge it, maybe it will go away. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
If we stay together, I'll have to forgive you over and over again, and if you're still in this, you'll have to forgive me over and over again too. So forgiveness isn't the point. What I really should have been trying to figure out is whether we were still good for each other or not ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
The Babe was a great ballplayer, sure, but Cobb was even greater. Babe could knock your brains out, but Cobb would drive you crazy. ~ Tris Speaker
Tris quotes by Tris Speaker
Not like Tobias, who is almost shy when he smiles, like he is surprised you bothered to look at him in the first place. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Relax Beatrice, I've driven a car before.' MARCUS
'I've done a lot of things before, but that doesn't mean I'm any good at them!' TRIS ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I regret ... " Tobias tilts his head, and sighs. "I regret my choice."
"What Choice?"
"Dauntless," he says. "I was born Abnegation. I was planning on leaving Dauntless, and becoming factionless. But I met her, and ... I felt like maybe I could make something more of my decision."
Her. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Come on,'he says.' I have something else to show you. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Sometimes I forget that I can hurt you. That you are capable of being hurt ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
How have I never realized before that for all the strong, kind parts of him, there are also hurting, broken parts? ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
There's a reason why she left them, Lauren," he says. His voice is deep, and it rumbles. "What's your name?"
"Um ... " I don't know why I hesitate. But "Beatrice" just doesn't sound right anymore.
"Think about it," he says, a faint smile curling his lips. " You don't get to pick again."
A new place, a new name. I can be remade here.
"Tris," I say firmly. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
So small as to be negligible.
It's strange, but there's something in that thought that makes me feel almost ... free. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I'll be your family now." ~ Tobis 'Four ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
We can't just act without thinking anymore, Tris. They've been trying to teach as that all along. I guess if we're mages, we can't exactly be kids, can we?
- Sandry after the pirate attack ~ Tamora Pierce
Tris quotes by Tamora Pierce
I was never a watering pot before I met Charles," he [Tris] sobbed. "It's all his fault."
"You never cared before you met Charles," Derek said quietly "You never loved before you met Charles. ~ Rowan Speedwell
Tris quotes by Rowan Speedwell
To me, Tris has always seemed magnetic in a way I could not describe, and that she was not aware of. I have never feared or hated her for it, the way Peter does, but then, I have always been in a position of strength myself, not threatened by her. Now that I have lost that position, I can feel the tug toward resentment, as strong and sure as a hand around my arm. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Fuck Tris. I would give body parts to have a guy write something like that for me. My kidney? Oh, both of them? Here, Nick, they're yours - just write more for me. I'll give you a start: boy in punk club asks strange girl to be his girlfriend for five minutes, girl kisses boy, boy kisses back, boy then meets girl - what did you notice about this girl? Nick, let's hear some lyrics. Please? Ready. Set. Go. ~ Rachel Cohn
Tris quotes by Rachel Cohn
If I don't survive," I say, "tell Tobias I didn't want to leave him. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Or maybe we'll make a home somewhere inside ourselves, to carry with us wherever we go- which is the way I carry my mother now. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
The American boy starts swinging the bat about as soon as he can lift one. ~ Tris Speaker
Tris quotes by Tris Speaker
I wonder if this is how it is with all evil men, that to someone, they look just like good men, talk like good men, are just as likable as good men. "Tris. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Every question that can be answered must be answered or at least engaged. Illogical thought processes must be challenged when they arise. Wrong answers must be corrected. Correct answers must be affirmed. - From the Erudite faction manifesto CHAPTER ONE TRIS I PACE IN our cell in Erudite headquarters, her words echoing in my mind: My name will be Edith Prior, and there is much I am happy to forget. ~ Anonymous
Tris quotes by Anonymous
When I look at him, I don't see the cowardly young man who sold me out to Jeanine Matthews, and i don't hear the excuses he gave afterward.
When I look at him, I see the boy who held my hand in the hospital when our mother broke her wrist and told me it would be all right. I see the brother who told me to make my own choices, the night before the Choosing Ceremony. I think of all the remarkable things he is
smart and enthusiastic and observant, quiet and earnest and kind. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
It must be because you're so approachable,' I say flatly. 'You know. Like a bed of nails.'
He stares at me, and I don't look away. He isn't a dog but the same rules apply. Looking away is submissive. Looking him in the eye is a challenge. It's my choice.
Heat rushes into my cheeks. What will happen when this tension breaks?
But he just says, 'Careful, Tris. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I barely remember that I agreed to participate in a genetic test until someone else appears at the door to the dormitory--a boy, or not really a boy, since he looks about as old as I am. He waves to Tris.
"Oh, that's Matthew," she says. "I guess we should get going."
She takes my hand and leads me toward the doorway. Somehow I missed her mentioning that "Matthew" wasn't a crusty old scientist. Or maybe she didn't mention it at all.
Don't be stupid, I think.
Matthew sticks out his hand. "Hi. It's nice to meet you. I'm Matthew."
"Tobias," I say, because "Four" sounds strange here, where people would never identify themselves by how many fears they have. "You too. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Can I be forgiven for all I've done to get here?
I want to be.
I can.
I believe it. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
It would be useless for any player to attempt to explain successful batting. ~ Tris Speaker
Tris quotes by Tris Speaker
I laugh, and it's laughter, not light, that casts out the darkness building within me, that reminds me I am still alive, even in this strange place where everything I've ever known is coming apart. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Don't try to define me ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
One choice can transform you! ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
We're sorry for frightening you, Tris,' another voice says, 'but anonymity is integral to our operation. We mean you no harm.'
'Let go of me then!' I say, almost growling. All the hands holding me on the wall fall away.
'Who are you?' I demand.
'We are the Alliegiant,' the voice replies. 'And we are many, yet we are no one ... '
I can't help it: I laugh. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I reach out and take his hand. His fingers slide between mine. I can't breathe. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Though I know that he had something to do with the attack simulation, and with all those deaths, I find it difficult to pair those actions with the man I see in front of me. I wonder if this is how it is with all evil men, that to someone, they look just like good men, talk like good men, are just as likeable as good men. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
But I'm not pretty." - Tris
"NO, you´re not and I would only go to your funeral if there was cake" - Four ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
It's getting more difficult to be wise," he says, laughing into my ear.
I smile at him. "I think that's how it's
supposed to be. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
You know, most boys enjoy being trapped in close quarters with a girl. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
At last Niko dropped his hands, and opened his eyes. His perfect tree illusion solidified and settled.
"Very nice," said Briar with approval. "Couldn't have done better myself"
"Couldn't do it at all yourself," muttered Tris.
Briar ignored her. "But you'd never find a cork oak in these parts. Too cold."
Niko looked down his nose at the boy. "I beg your pardon?"
Briar shrugged. "Just thought I'd mention it."
Niko glared. ~ Tamora Pierce
Tris quotes by Tamora Pierce
No one asks to live in squalor, Tris. It is just that squalor is all that is left to them by those who have money. ~ Tamora Pierce
Tris quotes by Tamora Pierce
What's your name?
Um ...
Think about it. You don't get to pick again.
Tris. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Rosethorn had gone to her room the moment Niko started to cough. Now she returned with her syrup and a firm look in her eye. "I thought you were having trouble last night. Drink this." She poured some into a cup and held it out to him.
Niko looked at it as if she offered him rotten fish. "I am fine. I am per-" He couldn't even finish the sentence for coughing.
"It's not bad," said Tris, crossing her fingers behind her back. "Really, tastes like-like mangoes."
Niko looked at her, then took the cup and downed its contents. The four watched with interest as his cheeks turned pale, then scarlet. "That's terrible (exclamation point)" he cried, his voice a thin squeak.
"Maybe I was thinking of some other syrup," Tris remarked with a straight face. ~ Tamora Pierce
Tris quotes by Tamora Pierce
It's what you deserve to hear," I say firmly, my eyes going cloudy with tears. "That you're whole, that you're worth loving, that you're the best person I've ever known. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I find my anger ebbing away, and I'm lost in muffled grief again, this time not just for Tris, but for Uriah, whose smile is burned into my memory. My friend's brother, and then my friend, too, though not for long enough to let his humor work its way into me, not for long enough. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
If you put a baseball and other toys in front of a baby, he'll pick up a baseball in preference to the others. ~ Tris Speaker
Tris quotes by Tris Speaker
Fourth, Tobias is a POLITICIAN?!?!?!? Four, the dauntless legend is a politician. Lame. Lastly, that's it? Tris dies, Tobias doesn't get a girlfriend, get married, anything like that, he lives with his mother. Yay!!!!! ~ Amazon Reviewer
Tris quotes by Amazon Reviewer
He could be the Darcy to your Elizabeth, the Harry to your Ginny, the Peeta to your Katniss, the Four to your Tris, ~ Anonymous
Tris quotes by Anonymous
But then he stops at the door frame and says, It's 9:24. Telling me the time is a small act of betrayal-and therefore an ordinary act of bravery. It is maybe the first time I've seen Peter be truly Dauntless. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
What did you do?" I scream.
"You die, I die too. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Caleb and Tris exchange a look. The skin on his face and on her knuckles is nearly the same colour, purple-blue-green, as if drawn with ink. This is what happens when siblings collide - they injure each other in the same way. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
From behind I don't see Caroline but I do that stupid bitch, Tris, rhymes with bris, cuz that's what she'll do to a guy, rip apart his piece. ~ Rachel Cohn
Tris quotes by Rachel Cohn
Tris," Tobias says, crouching next to me. His face is pale, almost yellow.
There is too much I want to say. The first thing that comes out is, "Beatrice."
He laughs weakly.
"Beatrice," he amends, and touches his lips to mine. I curl my fingers into his shirt. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Tris: Wait. So you have no idea what my aptitude is?
Tori: Yes and No. My conclusion is that you display equal aptitude for Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite. People who get this kind of result are..are called ... Divergent. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Tris," said tobias. "I love you ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I imagine the wave of water colliding with the rock and spilling over the tile floor, collecting around my shoes. Doing a little at once can fix something, eventually, but I feel like when you believe that something is truly a problem, you throw everything you have at it, because you just can't help yourself. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
She can't possibly be me, though she moves when I move ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I grin at the fierce burn in my legs, in my chest.Using pain to relieve pain. It doesn't make much sense. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Tris: "What if I don't want to cut up aloe leaves?"
Rosethorn: "Ask me if I care what you want. ~ Tamora Pierce
Tris quotes by Tamora Pierce
Is this scaring you, Tris?"
"No," I croak. I clear my throat. "Not really. I'm only ... afraid of what I want."
"What do you want?" Then his face tightens. "Me?" Slowly I nod. He nods too, and takes my hands in his gently. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Dear Augustus:
I will take care of Hazel if your you take care to Tris.
- Love always Tobias. ~ John Green
Tris quotes by John Green
Yeah, well," I say, "I left Abnegation because I wasn't selfless enough, no matter how hard I tried to be."
"That's not entirely true." He smiles at me. "That girl who let someone throw knives at her to spare a friend, who hit my dad with a belt to protect me-that selfless girl, that's not you?" ...
"You've been paying close attention, haven't you?"
"I like to observe people/"
"Maybe you were cut out for Candor, Four, because you're a terrible liar. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Peter: Where are you two going? Tris: Why aren't you with your attack group eating dinner? Peter: I don't have one. I'm injured. Christina: Yeah right, you are! Peter: Well, I don't want to go to battle with a bunch of factionless. So I'm going to stay here. Christina: Like a coward. Let everyone else clean up the mess for you. Peter: Yep! Have fun dying. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
You know, the kind of person who gets this tattoo is probably the kind that should keep it very quiet," she says, looking at me from the corner of her eye. "Or else someone will start thinking they're Divergent. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Dauntless,' he says. 'I was born for Abnegation. I was planning on leaving Dauntless, and becoming factionless. But then I met her, and ... I felt like maybe I could make something more of my decision.'
Her.
For a moment, it's like I'm looking at a different person, sitting in Tobias's skin, one whose life is not as simple as I thought. He wanted to leave Dauntless, but he stayed because of me. He never told me that. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
We don't know what's happened out there since they put us in here, or how many generations have lived and died since they did.We could be the last people left. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I fell in love with him. But I don't just stay with him by default as if there's no one else available to me. I stay with him because I choose to, every day that I wake up, every day that we fight or lie to each other or disappoint each other. I choose him over and over again, and he chooses me. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Babe Ruth made a great mistake when he gave up pitching. ~ Tris Speaker
Tris quotes by Tris Speaker
Faction before blood, yeah? ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Looks like someone had a mood swing." She rolls her eyes. "Like you don't want to
know what his fears are. He acts so tough that he's probably afraid of marshmallows
and really bright sunrises or something. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
It's over, I say, wincing- she punches harder than she realizes. I ignore the pain and run a hand over her hair, because I'm stupid, and inappropriate, and stupid ... ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
He's one of the last friends I have," she says, her voice breaking. "I don't know if I'll ever be able to look at you the same way again. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
You're not very nice," I say, grinning.
"You're one to talk."
"Hey, I could be nice if I tried."
"Hmm." He taps his chin. "Say something nice, then."
"You're very good-looking."
He smiles, his teeth a flash in this dark. "I like this 'nice' thing. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
My parents ... They died today ... They died for me. -Tris
They loved you ... To them there was no better way to show you. -Four ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
God Tris, are you even human? ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Dead people can be our heroes because they cant disappoint us later; they only improve over time, as we forget more and more about them. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
You think my first instinct is to protect you. Because you're small, or a girl, or a Stiff. But you're wrong."
He leans his face close to mine and wraps his fingers around my chin. His hand smells like metal. When was the last time he held a gun, or a knife? My skin tingles at the point of contact, like he's transmitting electricity through his skin.
"My first instinct is to push you until you break, just to see how hard I have to press." he says, his fingers squeezing at the word break. My body tenses at the edge in his voice, so I am coiled as tight as a spring, and I forget to breathe.
His dark eyes lifting to mine, he adds, "But I resist it."
"Why ... " I swallow hard. "Why is that your first instinct?"
"Fear doesn't shut you down; it wakes you up. I've seen it. It's fascinating." He releases me but doesn't pull away, his hand grazing my jaw, my neck. "Sometimes I just want to see it again. Want to see you awake. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I love Tris the Divergent, who makes decisions apart from faction loyalty, who isn't some faction archetype. But the Tris who's trying as hard as she can to destroy herself ... I can't love her. ~ Anonymous
Tris quotes by Anonymous
What's your name."
"Um ... " I don't know why I hesitate, but Betrise just doesn't sound right anymore. I have a chance to be remade here. A new fraction, a new name.
"Tris," I say firmly.
"Welcome to dauntless," he says to me. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
The tiles in the Merciless Mart are always black and white, and here they are in a checkered pattern. If I unfocus my eyes, I see exactly what the Candor don't believe in - gray. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
She believes that Tobias belongs to her now. She doesn't know the truth, that he belongs to himself. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I think he came to die with me," I say. I clamp my hand over my mouth to stifle a sob. If I can keep breathing, I can stop crying. I didn't need or want him to die with me. I wanted to keep him safe. What an idiot, I think, but my heart isn't in it.
"That's ridiculous," he says. "That doesn't make any sense. He's eighteen; he'll find another girlfriend once you're dead. And he's stupid if he doesn't know that."
Tears run down my cheeks, hot at first and then cold. I close my eyes. "If you think that's what it's about ... " I swallow another sob. " ... you're the stupid one. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Humans were so very good at fucking, so desperate to engage in it, and yet so uncomfortable talking about it. ~ G.L. Carriger
Tris quotes by G.L. Carriger
If they told us what to believe, and we didn't come to it on our own, is it still true? ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
hear him breathing behind me, loud and fast. "Are you all right, Four?"

"Are you human, Tris? Being up this high..." He gulps for air. "It doesn't scare you at all?"

I look over my shoulder at the ground. If I fall now, I will die. But I don't think I will fall. A gust of air presses against my left side, throwing my body weight to the right. I gasp and cling to the rungs, my balance shifting. Four's cold hand clamps around one of my hips, one of his fingers finding a strip of bare skin just under the hem of my T-shirt. He squeezes, steading me and pushing me gently to the left, restoring my balance. Now I can't breathe. I pause, staring at my hands, my mouth dry. I feel the ghost of where his hand was, his fingers long and narrow.

"You okay?" he asks quietly.

"Yes," I say, my voice strained. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Independent and uninvolved. Must be nice. -Tris ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Did you just make a joke, Tris? We should have you on painkillers more often if your going to start cracking jokes. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
What the hell is going on?" I demand, craning my neck to look at Jeanine. "We agreed-cooperation in exchange for results! We agreed--"
"This is entirely separate from our agreement," says Jeanine, glancing at her watch. "This is not about you, Beatrice."
The door opens again.
Tobias walks in--limps in--flanked by Dauntless traitors. His face is bruised and there's a cut above his eyebrow. He does not move with his usual care; he's holding himself perfectly straight. He must be injured. I try not to think about how he got that way.
"What is this?" he says, his voice rough and creaky.
From screaming, probably.
My throat feels swollen.
"Tris," he says, and he lurches toward me, but the Dauntless traitors are too quick. They grab him before he can move more than a few steps. "Tris, are you okay?"
"Yeah," I say. "Are you?"
He nods. I don't believe him. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I feel like someone breathed new air into my lungs. I am not Abnegation. I am not Dauntless.
I am Divergent. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I know some things
I know that I'm not alone, that I have friends, that I'm in love. I know that I don't want to die, and for me that's something
more than I could have said a few weeks ago. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
He turns toward me. I want to touch him, but I'm afraid of his bareness; afraid that he will make me bare too.
'Is this scaring you, Tris?'
'No,' I croak. I clear my throat. 'Not really. I'm only…afraid of what I want.'
'What do you want?' Then his face tightens. 'Me?'
Slowly I nod. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Tris and I will be gone in two days," says Tobias. "I hope your faction doesn't change their decision to make this compound a safe house."
"Our decisions are not easily unmade. What about Peter?"
"You'll have to deal with him separately," he says. "Because he won't be coming with us."
Tobias takes my hand, and his skin feels nice against mine, though it's not smooth or soft. I smile apologetically at Johanna, and her expression remains unchanged.
"Four," she says. "If you and your friends would like to remain ... untouched by our serum, you may want to avoid the bread."
Tobias says thank you over his shoulder as we make our way down the hallway together, me skipping every other step. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Tris: "I was reading."
Sandry: "You're always reading. The only way people can ever talk to you is to interrupt."
Tris: "Then maybe they shouldn't talk to me. ~ Tamora Pierce
Tris quotes by Tamora Pierce
I feel the urge, familiar now, to wrench myself from my body and speak directly into her mind. It is the same urge, I realize, that makes me want to kiss her every time I see her, because even a sliver of distance between us is infuriating. Our fingers, loosely woven a moment ago, now clutch together, her palm tacky with moisture, mine rough in places where I have grabbed too many handles on too many moving trains. Now she looks pale and small, but her eyes make me think of wide-open skies that I have never actually seen, only dreamed of. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I pout my lower lip for a second, but then I grin as the pieces come together.
"That's why you like me!" I exclaim. "Because you're not very nice either! It makes so much more sense now. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Tris."
I finally look at him.
"I just don't want to lose you."
We stand there for a few minutes. I don't say what I'm thinking, which is that he might be right. There is a part of me that want to be lost, that struggles to join my parents and Will so that I don't have to ache for them anymore. A part of me that wants to see whatever comes next. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Maybe we're strangers no matter where we go. Or maybe we'll make a home somewhere inside ourselves, to carry with us wherever we go. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I love you" I say.
"I love you, too" he says. "I'll see you soon. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
I have only one memory of getting here, and even that is just a single image: black ink curling around the side of a neck, the corner of a tattoo, and the gentle sway that could only mean he was carrying me.
He turns off the bathroom light and gets an ice pack from the refrigerator in the corner of the room. As he walks toward me, I consider closing my eyes and pretending to be asleep,but then our eyes meet and it's too late.
"Your hands," I croak.
"My hands are none of your concern," he replies. He rests his knee on the mattress and leans over me,slipping the ice pack under my head. Before he pulls away,I reach out to touch the cut on the side of his lip but stop when I realize what I am about to do, my hand hovering.
What do you have to lose? I ask myself. I touch my fingertips lightly to his mouth.
"Tris," he says, speaking against my fingers. "I'm all right."
"Why were you there?" I ask, letting my hand drop.
"I was coming back from the control room. I heard a scream."
"What did you do to them?" I say.
"I deposited Drew at the infirmary a half hour ago," he says. "Peter and Al ran. Drew claimed they were just trying to scare you.At least,I think that's what he was trying to say."
"He's in bad shape?"
"He'll live," he replies. He adds bitterly, "In what condition, I can't say."
It isn't right to wish pain on other people just because they hurt me first. But white-hot triumph races through me at the thought of Drew ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
Tris," a low voice says behind me. I don't know why it doesn't startle me. Maybe because I am becoming Dauntless, and mental readiness is something I'm supposed to develop. Maybe because his voice is low and smooth and almost soothing. Whatever the reason over my shoulder. Four stands behind me with his gun slung across his back, just like mine. "Yes?" I say. "I came to find out what you think you're doing." "I'm seeking higher ground," I say. "I don't think I'm doing anything." I see his smile in the dark. "All right. I'm coming." I pause a second. He doesn't look at me the way Will, Christina, and Al sometimes do- like I am too small and too weak to be any use, and they pity me for it. But if he insists on coming with me, it is probably because he doubts me. ~ Veronica Roth
Tris quotes by Veronica Roth
The physical technique is important," I say. "But it's mostly a mental game, which is lucky for you, because you know how to play those. You don't just practice the shooting, you also practice the focus. And then, when you're in a situation where you're fighting for your life, the focus will be so ingrained that it will happen naturally."
"I didn't know the Dauntless were so interested in training the brain," Caleb says. "Can I see you try it, Tris? I don't think I've ever really seen you shoot something without a bullet wound in your shoulder."
Tris smiles a little and faces the target. When I first saw her shoot during Dauntless training, she looked awkward, birdlike. But her thin, fragile form has become slim but muscular, and when she holds the gun, it looks easy. She squints one eye a little, shifts her weight, and fires. Her bullet strays from the target's center, but only by inches. Obviously impressed, Caleb raises his eyebrows.
"Don't look so surprised!" Tris says.
"Sorry," he says. "I just…you used to be so clumsy, remember? I don't know how I missed that you weren't like that anymore."
Tris shrugs, but when she looks away, her cheeks are flushed and she looks pleased. Christina shoots again, and this time hits the target closer to the middle.
I step back to let Caleb practice, and watch Tris fire again, watch the straight lines of her body as she lifts the gun, and how steady she is when it goes off. I touch her shoulder and lean in cl ~ Veronica Roth
