"What a good actor he was. The thought makes me sick to my stomach, because even though I left them too, at least I was no good at pretending. At least they all knew that I wasn't selfless." (Chapter 6 par.30)
Tris deals with her brother's secret in the classic, sisterly fashion: by feeling sick to her stomach. It's interesting that what really bothers Tris isn't the betrayal of the family—because both of them left. What really bothers her is how good he was at keeping that secret for so long. How could he make it seem like he was loyal? I can relate to Tris on this one. I cannot stand when people are fake. Liars really make me sick to my stomach. Everyone knew that Tris didn't want to be a part of Abnegation, and Caleb kept his longing for a different life hidden from everyone, even his sister.
