She looks so frail in her oversized grey clothes. She hits the net without a sound but bounces much higher than any other initiate in her class. I get whole of her wrist and my whole hand wraps around it. I grab her waist to help her down and realised how thin she was. Then I looked at her eyes and her face and in those few seconds i take in her features. She had blue eyes and and thin lips. Her jawline was prominent and her nose was small almost bottom like. She was gasping and out of breath probably because of the jump and the adrenalin rush. I asked her her name and she hesitated. I tell her about the choice of changing her name and she finally tells me 'Tris'.
I like the name, it suits her. I tell her welcome to Dauntless and she gives me a 100 watts smile burning my retinas in the process.
During the initiation i feel protective over her which catches me offguard. I never felt this way about anyone. I am more interested in her progress than any other initiate in the class. I give her more tips on winning the fight. I tell myself that i care more about her because she is the most fragile in the class but deep down i know that is untrue. I care about her in ways i can not describe. I walked out of the fight when Peter was beating her to pulp. I just couldn't see her getting hurt. I nearly killed Albert when he tried to throw Tris off the chasm. Nursing to her wounds after that night made me realize that i was probably in love with her. Which totally came at a wrong time. I can't fall for an initiate. That is just wrong, where the fucking hell is my moral compass. I always do what is right and what is expected of me but with her i loose all my morality and my sense of duty. God i seriously hope she makes it to dauntless becuase i don't know what i'll do without her. And with all of this going on i still have to figure out what is happening between dauntless and erudite. God !!! Too many things in my head. Amd my head already exploding with so many feelings and emotions have a fucking bomb blast when i find out that Tris is divergent. Great now i have to protect her from initiates and the heads of our faction. But i atleast know i thing by now that i love Tris Prior and i have to protect her no matter what, be that from that dickhead Peter or from that worldclass bitch Jeanine.
I love Tris Prior and it feels good to say it.
