Will and Christina kiss, a little too sloppily for my taste. All around me is the pounding of Dauntless fists. Then I feel a tap on my shoulder and turn to see Tobias standing behind me. I get up, beaming.

"You think giving you a hug would give away too much?" he asks.

I bite my lip for a second, weighing our options, but my happiness overpowers my shyness, and I throw my arms around him. He pulls me into his chest tightly, but I soon feel the eyes of Will and Christina on us, and pull back. He gives me a questioning look, then looks over at the two of them. Realizing what I'm thinking, he clears his throat. "Well, uh, congratulations Tris," he says, returning to his Four voice. "You did well."

I give him an apologetic smile and politely nod. "Thanks, Four." Though I've only known him as Tobias for a few days, the name "Four" feels weird on my tongue. "I'll see you around." I try to use my eyes to tell him later but I'm not sure if he understands. He just gives a small smile and turns away, toward some of his other Dauntless friends.

I look back at Christina and Will and find that our little performance was quite convincing, as they are lost in conversation with each other, not even looking in my direction. I sigh, unsure of what to do, until I spot Uriah and decide to join him with some of the other Dauntless-borns. Uriah throws an arm over my shoulder and smiles at me, but continues his conversation with Lynn and his brother Zeke.

Finally, he turns to me with a wide grin on his face. "We should celebrate." I hesitate for a second, but then realize how relieved I am that initiation is over and decide that this is, indeed, a cause for celebration.

"What did you have in mind?"

"Well, a bunch of us were planning on grabbing a few paintball guns and heading out for a game. Wanna join?" I nod my head enthusiastically and run to grab Will and Christina so they can join us. Uriah takes his arm off of me and shouts over the crowd, "I'll go find some other people, see if we can make the game a little bigger!"

We meet at the train around 10 pm. I walk with Christina and Will behind me, their arms around each other. I see that Uriah has gathered about 15 or 20 people, who are all laughing and goofing off as they wait for the train to come. I spot Tobias near the back of the group and see his lips turn up slightly when he sees me. I'm thankful that he's standing next to Uriah because it means I can approach him without drawing too much attention. The two of us have decided that we still don't want people to know about our relationship. Even though initiation is over, they could still draw conclusions about my high rank.

Uriah greets me joyfully before running over to Zeke to tell him to announce the rules. Zeke stands up on an empty wooden crate and shouts over the group. "Listen up! When we get on the train, we'll split up into random teams, and each person will get a paintball gun. Basically, the point is to shoot everyone on the other team before they shoot you. Team with the last person standing wins!" Cheers erupt across the group as the train nears.

I walk quickly toward the tracks so I don't miss the train, but it doesn't help that I'm in the back of the group. Most of the group has already gotten on, and I see that Tobias and I, as well as two or three others, are the only ones still on the ground. He grabs a handle and jumps up then smiles mischievously as he bends down to wrap an arm around my waist.

His hand presses into my side and I can tell that he purposely takes his time in pulling him up and setting me down on the train. I wobble slightly and he doesn't hesitate to grab my waist with both hands, steadying me. "Whoa, be careful there," he teases sweetly. "Wouldn't want you falling off." I scowl at him playfully, but then look around to be sure that we're not being too obvious.

He steps backward taking his hands from my waist, and gives a slight nod as I walk toward Christina on the other side of the train. "Well that was weird," she smiles.

"What was?" I ask defensively.

"Oh, just you and Four. I've never seen him act as nice as I have today." Shoot, she knows. "Then again, maybe he's just less scary to me now that he's no longer our trainer."

I sigh. "Ya, that's probably it."

"Well we won't have to be seeing much of him anymore!" she sings cheerfully as she turns to continue her conversation with Will. I look up to see Tobias looking at me. His face is serious, but his eyes are kind. I smile slightly at him, and we continue looking at each other. I know why we have to keep this a secret, but I also know that I might not be able to make it much longer. I don't know how long I'll be able to stand a room away from him at outings like these when all I want to do is be by his side.
