Tris' p.o.v

I wake to a shattering sound followed by profanities and muttering, a slight smile spreading across my face. Tobias. Every Monday he breaks a glass tripping over the coffee table. The first Monday after I moved in with him, he scared me half to death. I grin at the memory as I rip the blue quilt off to go help him clean up the shards.

I'm still blinking away sleep when Tobias sneaks up behind me and wraps his arms around me, kissing the hollow of my neck.

"Are you nervous?" he asks me, His arms still wound tightly around my waist.

"No," I reply "but I will be when you make both of us late." He chuckles in my ear as he reluctantly pulls himself away from me so I can get ready.

I lied. I was so nervous I could barely eat anything at breakfast because the butterflies in my stomach wouldn't let me.

"You're pale" Christina tells me as I poke at the toast on my plate. I get up and walk away muttering excuses about being sick. When I reach Tobias's apartment, I collapse to the floor letting my knees shake. After a few minutes I check my watch. 30 minutes until the initiates get here. I take a deep breath and peel myself up off the floor. I decide to go wash my face and change my sweaty clothes. I decide on black jeans and a shirt that is tight but not too tight.

I didn't hear Tobias walk in, so when I turn around, my knees give out. I laugh it off as I once again pull myself up off the floor. Tobias just takes my hand and leads me to the net room. We arrive just in time to see a flash of yellow falling into the net.

I reach my hand into the net to pull the amity girl out of the net. She is tall, clearing my head by half a foot. She has pale skin with large blue-grey eyes, a small nose with a spatter of freckles that reaches all the way out to her ears.

"Name?" I ask once both her feet are firmly planted on the ground.

"S-Sam" she stutters, still frazzled from jumping off a building.

"Call it Four." I mutter in his general direction.

"First jumper; Sam!" he yells into the crowd of dauntless packed around the net. Cheers go up just as the second jumper clears the gaping hole in the ceiling.

This time Tobias reaches into the net to pull out a handsome Erudite boy.

"Name?" Tobias asks sternly looking the boy right in the eye and keeping a hand on his shoulder.

"Josh" he spits at Tobias yanking his shoulder out of his hand. He spins on his heel to go stand next to Sam. I wonder why he would pick Dauntless? I zone out as the next three initiates jump and Tobias asks their name.

I awake from my stupor when Christina waves a hand in front of my face. "He's so hot!" she whisper-squeals into my ear pointing towards a tall, broad shouldered, dirty blonde boy. His lips stuck out in a permanent sneer. I predicted that he would be a trouble maker.

Once Max whistled down from the top of the building, signaling that all the initiates had jumped; Tobias, Christina, Uriah and I started to lead the group of initiates down the passageway towards the Pit.

We reach the spot where the dauntless-borns separate from the transfers and stop abruptly.

"This is where we separate." Tobias announces "All dauntless-born initiates are to go with Uriah and Christina. I assume you don't need a tour."

Once the squeaking of Christina's sneakers had faded into the distance, I open my mouth to speak.

"Are you single?" a deep husky voice asks from the center of the group.

I feel Tobias stiffen next to me. I scan the crowd to see who asked, and my eyes land on one person. Blonde Boy. I saunter up to him looking him right in the eyes. I almost have to look straight up to see his face.

"Why do you ask?" I say, my eyes finding his.

"Because, you're…" I backhand him before he can get any farther into that sentence.

I take my spot next to Tobias again. "Any more questions?" I pause. "Good, now we can continue."
