so I hope you enjoy!

Tris POV 12 years old

I jump up, startled by the sudden crunch of the of the gravel behind me. I look over to see a young abnegation boy, about two years older than me, standing next to me by the train tracks.

It takes me a minute to process the boy beside me. After a few seconds, I realize it is Abnegation's leader's son, Tobias. He has come over to our house a few times with his father to have dinner with my family. He holds on to the respectful, quiet typical Abnegation lifestyle on the outside, but I can tell through his eyes, that on the inside he is dying for something more

"Hello, Tobias", I say bowing in the typical greeting style for abnegation.

"Hello, Beatrice." He says with a hint of a smile in his voice.

"Wait you know my name?", I ask perplexed.

" Of course. Why wouldn't I ?"

" Well, I am not very memorable, I don't stand out in anyway, so why would you bother about remembering me?."

"On the contrary Beatrice, I believe you are on of the most interesting people I've seen."

"Oh", I say surprised, not expecting his answer at all,"and why would that be? May I ask."

Tobias smirks, "You know you're pretty curious for an abnegation."

"So I've been told, now are you going to answer my question or not."

"Ohhh and she's demanding as well, but that's exactly why you are so interesting. You're not like other Abnegation who just stay passive and deprive themselves. When I look at you, I see life in your eyes. You dream of a life so much bigger than this place, filled with adventures and thrills. That's the reason why I knew I could find you here by the train tracks instead of volunteering like any normal Abnegation."

"How do you know all that about me?", I ask somewhat pensively... I know my behavior isn't the most selfless ,but I hope I am not that blatantly obvious about it.

"Because I am the same way." He replies seriously.

I just smile and nod my head, reaffirming what I had already known.

...…

We just remain by the train tracks basking in the fact that we had found someone to confide in and who would not reprimand up for being the stiff abnegation we were supposed to be. For once, we had found someone who we could be ourselves around.

The sun will start to set soon and I know my parents will begin to wonder where I've been, so reluctantly get up to leave.

" Um... Tobias I should probably get going before it gets dark, but I just wanted to say I enjoyed being able to be myself...for once without getting scolded for it. So thank you."

"No problem Beatrice, I'd love to talk again some time."

I smirk, "Well you know where to find me.", I say before walking away.

I smile to myself as I begin to walk home because for once I am hopeful of what is to come.
