Hey Y'all I am glad you're going to take the time to read this story, but I want to give you about this story and why I am writing it. This story picks up right after Tris reads the board of rankings. There is no war that is going to happen in the near future, but maybe later on in the story I don't know where I am going to let this story take me. I wanted to write this story, because in books about dystopian societies the society falls apart and I want to know what would happen if it continued and I know there are a lot of fanfics that continue without the war, but I couldn't find any that I really liked, because I already have some idea about what I wanted to see happen. So here it is I hope you like it.


I am at the top. The top of the list. I just stand there staring as a roar of cheers erupts around me and people embrace, but I barely realize as my eyes stay fixed on the board. I feel arms wrap around me but I don't see faces I just hug back tightly still in shock, I'm ranked first. I was at the bottom a few weeks ago and now I am first in my class. In Abnegation I was never first I and tried to blend to survive, but here I am not just surviving I am thriving.

Christina swings her arms around me hugging me tightly, "Most improved indeed." She shouts over the noise.

I can't help the stupid grin on my face as I hug her back tightly, "We made it. We're Dauntless."

As I let her go I get hugged from behind by Will and picked, "Good job Tris."

I am laughing and smiling as he puts me down so he is between me and Christian. He lets me go smiling and turning away as he picks up Christina bringing her face close to his. That is when I turn away smiling giving them what little privacy I could in the crowded dining hall.

Suddenly there are arms around me, my chest starts to tighten and I almost throw a punch before I realize I am not being attacked. I am being lifted by a crowd of Dauntless, my faction.

I am floating on a sea of arms looking around at faces I don't even know, but now we are tied together. As I am passed around the room I look around and my eyes lock on Tobias who is trying to make his way through the crowd.

Once Tobias is able to get to me he pulls me down from the pile of arms that was holding me up pulling me close his hand tangling in my hair grinning, "I told you," is all he says as he presses his lips to mine and the roar of our faction fades away as I lock my arms around his waist.

I throw myself on the unmade bed in my apartment looking around my small room; it doesn't look like Dauntless take care of the apartments when there isn't anyone living in it. So since I gotten the key I've been cleaning, just another abnegation trait that hasn't died and probably won't.

Christina and I got lucky, and with a little help with me being on the top of the list we got a three bedroom apartment because all the 2 bedroom apartments were full and we didn't really want to split up because the one bedroom apartments were on the lower levels of the pier and I really wanted to be closer to daylight more often even though the shadows of the dauntless compound have become a safe haven for me over since I jumped off the train.

From my door I can hear Christina blasting her music as she continues to sweep up our little kitchen. I had just spent the better part of the afternoon in the bathroom cleaning making sure there wasn't anything left behind of what it looked like when we got here, the bathroom now would be up to Abnegation standards.

There is a knock on the door and I jerk up. Tobias said he was going to come by after we got settled in, but he first had to go deal with some things at work since he will be back there tomorrow instead of the training room. I get up to answer the door smiling expecting to see Tobias waiting on the other side, but my smile fades and my heart races when Max is on the other side of the door.


I hope you guys enjoyed it...Let me know how I can improve please. I am know I am not the best at grammar (which is why I am an Accounting Major) so please excuse it unless I get a Beta. If you have any ideas tell me if I use them I will give you credit.

Until Next Time
