Tris POV:

As soon as the word "me" leaves his mouth, the names appear on the screen, which is almost as large as the wall itself. Next to the number one is my picture, and the name "Tris."

A weight in my chest lifts. I didn't realize it was there until it was gone, and I didn't have to feel it anymore. I smile and a tingling spreads through me. First. Divergent or not, this faction is where I belong.

Will's arms wrap around me and he give me a bear hug. I hear cheering and laughing and shouting. Christina points as the screen, her eyes wide and filled with tears.

Tris

Uriah

Lynn

Marlene

Peter

Peter stays. I suppress a sigh. But then I read the rest of the names.

Will

Christina

I smile, and Christina reaches across the table to hug me. I am too distracted to protest against the affection. She laughs in my ear.

Someone taps my shoulder and I turn around to see Uriah standing behind me. I am about to say something but I am cut off when he leans down presses his lips to mine. I go ridged. I don't know what to do, so I kiss him back.

His lips are so warm and gentle on mine. When he finally pulls away; I have tears in my eyes. He see them and begins to stutter. "Oh—I'm sorry—I. I don't know what came over me." He sighs. "Look, Tris. I have liked you…" but I don't stay to hear the rest.

I run. I don't know where to but I just run. It's not because I'm angry. It's because I'm confused.

I slow down while rounding a corner and I am grateful I did so because I run into a wall.

Wait. No, this wall is warm. I look up and I don't see a wall.

I see Four.

Four POV (during the initiation ceremony)

I can't believe it. Tris. First. A stiff coming in FIRST, completely unheard of. Well, almost. Unless you count me. I chuckle to myself which earns me a confused look from Zeke.

"What the hell are you laughing at over there, Four?" he asks poking me. "A stiff coming in first. Completely unheard of." I say, laughing again and Zeke looks even more confused than before. I roll my eyes and point to myself. He smiles and face palms himself.

"Ah, yes. How could I forget the magnificent Four in all his glory." He says holding his arms gesturing to me. The only thing Zeke knows about my past is that I was Abnegation. He doesn't know my name or anything else.

I turn back towards Tris's table and see her being hugged by Will. I feel a twinge of something in my stomach. What was that?

Will then goes over to Christina and kisses her and the feeling goes away. Well that was weird.

I see Tris sit down again and I get up to go see her. I am about halfway over to her when I stop in my tracks. Uriah is standing behind her, tapping her shoulder. She turns around and stands up quickly. She is about a half a foot shorter than Uriah so she has to look up.

She is about to say something to him but he cuts her off by bringing her into him and kissing her firmly. I feel like someone just punched me in the stomach. I quickly avert my path so I am headed to my apartment and move swiftly through the crowds of Dauntless. Earning a couple of disgusted glances and a few profanities in the process.

Once I am finally out of the crowd I make quick work of the twists and turns of the compound. I am about to round a corner when I feel someone run into me.

My hands impulsively wrap around the person's arms and I let them steady themselves

When I look down I am met with striking grey eyes that are meeting my own.

Tris.

Tris POV

Four. Of all people. Why did I just have to run into him? He hates me. He has hated me since the beginning of initiation and has made it very clear that I know it.

"Tris. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the party that is basically being thrown for you?" he asks, averting his eyes. I look away from his face and shake out my arms that have surprisingly gone stiff. He removes his hands and looks back down at me and I met his glance.

"I just needed to get out of there. It was too packed and I needed some air, is all." I say, as firmly as possible. I hope he believes me because I really don't want to discuss this with him but judging by the look he gives me, he doesn't.

"Then why do you look like you were crying?" he lifts my chin with his fingers gesturing to my cheeks which are probably red. His hand feels cold and I don't like it. I whip my head away from him and glare at him, he looks almost hurt.

"Don't touch me. And it is none of your business whether I was crying or not." I turn around and start to walk away but he grabs my arm. "You're my initiate, therefore it is my business. Now, what is the matter Tris?" he asks, his voice and eyes softening after every word.

I look down at my shoes. Too afraid to meet his eyes. "I am not your anything." I say and walk away. This time, he lets me.

PAGE BREAK

I stride back into the banquet and search for Uriah. I spot him in the far corner with a beer in one hand and his head in the other.

After making my way through the crowds of Dauntless people, I end up standing right in front of him. He must not have heard me come up because he hasn't moved. I step closer and grab the wrist of his hand holding his head and crouch down in front of him. As soon as I touch him, his head shoots up. When he sees me his face falls and he just starts blurting out apologies.

Instead of listening to him, I kiss him to shut him up. When I pull away he looks startled. I bite my lip and nod. He jumps up, causing the chair he was sitting in to crash to the floor and the beer in his hand to shatter and picks me up, spinning me around in the process. I am laughing so hard my stomach hurts and I am trying to get him to put me down but he refuses.

After about a minute of getting spun I am starting to feel sick so he gently places me back on my feet. Allowing me to slide down his chest to the floor. Once I am firmly on the ground, he places his hands on the sides of my face and pulls my lips to his.

This time I don't think twice about kissing him back, I just do. He kisses me slowly and passionately. Showing all his feelings through his actions. His tongue brushes across my lower lip and I tease him and refuse. He pulls back and we both sigh, trying to catch our breaths in the process.

He is the first to speak. "Now that is what I envisioned my first kiss with you being like." He says with a boyish grin which causes me to giggle. Wait. Did I just giggle?

He takes me hands in his and looks me straight in the eye. His rich chocolate eyes pulling me in. "Do you, Tris Prior, take me Uriah Pedrad to be you loyal and loving boyfriend?" he asks with a hint of a smile playing at his lips.

"Yes," I say, firmly. Uriah looks like he is about to burst. "Yes what?" he asks, chuckling. I sigh and put my arms around his neck. "Yes, I'll be your girlfriend." I say and kiss him.

Maybe I really can survive in Dauntless.
