THis takes place when she wakes up after the rankings and she has to choice her job. Tris's POV sorry if it's short. dont forget to R&R

I woke up this morning hearing the soft snores from someone across the room. Oh right today is the day I have to choose my job! I really haven't thought much of this nor have any idea what I would like to do. Well I guess it's better to start thinking than going back to sleep. I quickly but I quietly get up out of my bed and change into a black v-neck and some black skinny jeans and some sneakers. I step out of the dormitory and to the Pit.

I have never seen the Pit so empty before it's kind of weird. But I'll get over it. I wonder what time it is I didn't look at the clock. Oh well. I start going up the stairs from the pit to the top. All I really need to do is just clear my mind. Since my mind is clear now let's discuss my job options so I could work with Tobias at the control room but that doesn't sound like fun. I could be an initiate trainer but that's only two weeks a year, maybe a tattoo artist with Tori that sounds kind of fun I could be a leader but I don't want to work with Max nor Eric.

Once I lose my train of thought I find out that I'm walking back down the stairs and in the Pit again. I guess my feet have a mind of its own. Anyway I sit down this time so my feet won't carry me anywhere else. Back to what I want to be job wise. I really don't know I guess fate will choice itself just like it did at the Choosing Ceremony.

I look up since the sun is slowly creeping its way across the glass ceiling and distracting me. I guess I should go back to the dormitory for no one worries about me. But right as I was about to open the door something grabs me from behind. I quickly jerk to face it getting ready to punch it when I realize who it is. Tobias.

He quickly pulls me in a hug and starts whispering in my ear. I couldn't understand him so I had to say what like a thousand times finally he just said it regularly, "Be careful what you chose, you only chose once."

I look at him confused. Does he not think I can be responsible enough to choose my own future? I just look up and star into his eyes. He then grabs my arm and drags me through the Pit.

"Where are we going?" I ask him my voice a little scratchy from morning voice.

"Just follow" he says

Then I realize where we are going when we stop. His apartment.

"Why are we here?" I ask

"We need to talk about stuff," he says as he's unlocking his door. Once the door opens he quickly drags me inside and shuts the door. I sit at the edge of his bed my legs crossed.

"Okay what is this thing that we have to talk about?" He just ignores me and goes into his kitchen. I then start hearing some coffee brewing. A few minutes later he comes in with two mugs of coffee he then sits right by me on the bed and hands me a cup.

"Your job, what exactly do you want to do?" I just shrug because it's true I really don't know. "Well let's talk about the options" he says very casually.

"I can choose my own future without your help Tobias" I say a little rudely. His face is a little shock that I would say something like that him.

"I'm just trying to help" he says very calmly it's kind of scary.

"Well I don't need your help!" I spat at him

"I know I just don't want you to leave me." He then leans into me trying to go for a kiss but I quickly stop him.

"Why would you think I'll leave you?" He seriously doesn't think I'm responsible.

"I don't know," he says soundly a little ashamed. Maybe it's because he realizes how stupid he is for thinking I would leave him.

"I won't I promise" I lean in for the real kiss this time and we kiss for a few minutes. I then get up "I have to go I'll see you later" I then walk out.

Once I'm out of his apartment I go back to the dormitory to see if Christina is up yet. Once I walk in I see Will and Christina sitting on her bed laughing about something. I don't think I should interrupt but I need to talk to Christina so I do.

"Hey guys am I interrupting something?" I ask as I approach her bed.

"Nope" she responds "we were just talking about what we were going to do I'm going to just be an initiate trainer and Will is going to work in the control room with Four." I forgot that I'm the only one who knows Four's real name. "What are you going to do?" Christina ask making me go back to reality.

"I'm not quite sure all I know is that I'm not going to guard the fence nor am I going to be a leader." I say as crossing out those jobs on my imagery list. "Could I go talk to you Christina?" I ask as her and Will stand up. "Alone" I add in then Will sits back down.

"Sure," Christina says pecking Will on the lips then follows me out the door. "What's up?" she asks casually.

"Well earlier this morning me and T-Four were talking about what I am going to do," she nods to show that's she's following. "Well he made it sound like I'm not responsible enough to choice it myself," she looks a little shocked but I keep going "then he said that I had to promise him that I wouldn't leave him but why would he think I would leave him?" she just shrugs. "I think I want to be a tattoo artist with Tori but I'm not very artistic I would be an initiate trainer but that's only two weeks a year, you know like what are you going to do outside of those two weeks because I'm pretty sure Will can't do anything and what will happen if something happens to Will?" I ask her eyes turn a little sad I know I shouldn't have said that but it's true.

"That's a good point," she says her voice sounds like a kid's voice. "That's why I was going to work with Will and Four in the control room as a part time job," that actually makes a lot of sense I thought. I just nod. She then walks off.

I could do what Christina is doing but I really don't want to work in the control room. I really want to be an initiate trainer but that's just two weeks a year. I'll just rely on fate.

I waste time by going back to sleep since we chose our jobs in the late afternoon I should be awake by then.

Don't forget to R&R i might get another chapter in if i get enough reviews!
