Chapter 1:
Tobias' POV
It all started on the day I first met her. When she was the first jumper. She was so brave. But yet, she showed no interest in me besides being friends. I could tell she was attracted to Uriah, Zeke's little brother. And Christina was open, and I have to admit, she's attractive. I had to hide my feelings somehow. I don't really know how me and Christina got together. It all happened so fast. I tried to lie to myself, tried to convince myself that I was in love with Christina. And that was half true. But I was also in love with Tris. I tried to forget about her, tried to remind myself that she ripped my heart out the night I saw her with Uriah. Didn't she know I cared? I showed her my fear landscape, didn't I? Something I would and could never trust Christina with. I ask myself all of these questions as I walk down the hall to the cafeteria. Where I know she'll be. I'm forced out of my thoughts when I bump into something.
I look up, startled, to see Eric glaring at me.
"Watch where you're going!" he growls, and then stomps off.
I roll my eyes and continue to the cafeteria. I push open the doors and immediately spot Christina, Will, Zeke, Lynn, Shauna, and Marlene. Tris isn't here, and neither is Uriah. My stomach tightens and my fists clench as I think about what she's doing. Is she with Uriah? I don't know. Ever since I saw them kiss that night I've been depressed. Christina finally spots me and beams, lifting a manicured hand to wave at me.
"Four! Over here!" she shouts above the noise.
I make my way over and drop into the seat next to her, planting a quick kiss on her cheek.
"Where have you been? We've been waiting forever!" she exclaims.
"I slept in late," I mumble, my focus locked on the door. My heart jumps as Tris walks in, alone. She looks beautiful as usual, with her wavy blonde hair pulled into a side braid and her blue eyes popping. She's dressed in black skinny jeans and a black v-neck which shows off her raven tattoos. She sits down next to me.
"Hey guys," she greets everyone with a smile. Her hand brushes mine, sending electricity surging through my body. Christina doesn't seem to notice. She grins at Tris.
"Zeke's having a party tonight. It's gonna be amazing! Will you be there?" she questions.
Tris thinks it over, and then nods slowly.
"Uh, sure. Are you going, Four?" she asks me, turning to face me.
I shrug and lean back in my chair.
"I don't kno-"
"C'mon man! You never have any fun anymore!" Zeke interupts.
I glare at him and I hear Tris snicker.
"Yes, I do. I'm just not a party person," I reply.
Marlene nods and is about to reply when Uriah walks in. He looks tired, his dark hair going in every direction and dark circles under his eyes. He spots Tris and his eyes light up. My hand immediately forms into a fist and I bite down on my lip, hard.
"Hey Tris," Uriah says, sitting next to her.
My muscles tighten as she smiles at him. They may not be together, but they still flirt and it's driving me nuts. I force myself to look away.
"Will you come tonight, Four? For me?" Christina asks with a flirtatious smile.
I really don't want to go. But if Tris is there, I'm in.
"Uh, sure, I guess," I reply half-heartedly.
"Yay! Thanks, babe," Christina exclaims, pulling me into a hug.
I fight the urge to pull away. I glance over at Will to find him staring in envy and I narrow my eyes at him. His gaze quickly falters. I know Will likes Christina. In fact, I think everyone knows it. And frankly, I could care less. But I have to act like I do, or else Christina will find out. She always does.
