Chapter 1

Tobias

Number one, Tris. I see her standing on the other side of the room, looking at the screen. I walk over to her and tap her shoulder. She turns around, wearing a big smile on her face.

"You think giving you a hug would give away too much?" I ask.

"You know," she says, "I don't really care." She stands on her tiptoes, pressing her lips against mine. At first I'm surprised, but then I lean in and gently brush her cheek, smiling between our kisses. She pulls back and hugs me.

I look up and my eyes meet Christina's. She looks shocked and as do Will who is standing next to her.

"Tris," I say. She lets go of me and I nod toward Christina and Will.

"I guess we're not a secret anymore," she says, smiling a little.

"I guess. You should go and deal with that." She nods and I walk back to Zeke, who's smirking at me.

"Don't start.

"What man," he says. "I think it's nice. You and the stiff."

"Don't call her that."

"Just teasing. Seriously, it's great."

"Just don't go telling people. I don't want anyone to know about it yet."

"Oh I won't." He grins.

I give him a warning look and he just keeps smiling. I look over at Tris again. She's talking to Will and Christina. She says something that they both look stunned about.I wonder how things will be now, when they are members too. I won't be Tris' instructor anymore. I'll just be her, boyfriend? She asked me once if I wanted her to call me that, and I answered yes. We never really talked about it again, so I'm not sure.

"So the Stiff came first place," I hear a voice behind me. I turn around to see Shauna standing next to Zeke and me.

"Looks like it," I say, trying to sound uninterested. Zeke looks at me obviously thinking I should tell Shauna about Tris and me. I won't though, not until I talk to Tris.

Tris

I walk up to Christina and Will. They look shocked. "What just happened," Christina says frowning. Will is still just staring at me.

"I wanted to tell you, but I couldn't risk people thinking my rank had something to do with him."

"So, you guys are like a thing?" Will says.

I shrug. "I'm not sure what we are."

"But, how long have you been…?" Christina says. I see some disappointment in her eyes. She told me everything about her and Will, and I didn't tell her anything about what I was doing. A guilt aches in my stomach. I should've told her.

"I'm…" I start, but then Eric stands up again, asking for everyone's attention.

"Our new dauntless members, you will be choosing your professions tomorrow morning at 9. You can get the keys to your new apartments from Zeke, he's over there."

Zeke is standing next to Tobias and Shauna.

"Congratulations to the ten new members. You're with us now, Dauntless."

Everyone starts cheering and laughing and I know, Divergent or not, this is where I belong.

See ya'll soon. Be brave! -s
