Chapter 1

Tris's POV

I. Can't. Believe it! My name is right there conquering the first slot! I look across the table to congratulate Christina and Will but find them making out in the middle of the cafeteria so I leave them be and find someone else that I actually like and can congratulate without lying through my teeth. I feel someone squeeze my shoulder lightly and since I couldn't turn around, they yell right in my ear, it's Uriah. "Well done Tris! You did it, you beat them!" And he's right- Molly and Drew were edged out of the rankings and by tomorrow they will no longer be a problem... Gone... Factionless; joining Edward however it's a shame that Peter isn't going as well, that would completely make my day "Wow! You came second, well done!" I scream back at him over my shoulder and travelling among the sounds of excited dauntless members. "You sounded so surprised by my rank, you wound me!" He holds his hand and has a mock hurt expression on his face. I laugh and he runs off cheering into a large group of dauntless Born with a massive grin placed on his face, I turn away before I roll my eyes.

After a while, I feel another light tap on my shoulder but this time it's different and I can definitely feel a spark travel through my body, it's the same spark I felt when I had my first kiss down in the chasm.

I turn around and see Tobias standing there with a cheeky grin on his face that actually makes home look like the teenager he actually is, I much prefer this face to the intimidating instructor four facade but sometimes you need someone spurring you on. He looks much more relaxed and younger. It's then that he starts to speak and I realise that I have been stood there staring at him for quite a long time. "So, do you like what you see?" I look down at my feet and blush but he saves me even more embarrassment by continuing, this time sarcastically though," I heard a Stiff came in first, I wonder who that might be..." He puts on a fake thinking face and starts rubbing his slight stubble on his chin.

"Well, apparently there has only been only one other stiff ranked first in recent history. Who could that be?" This time it's my turn to be sarcastic and look thoughtful, he just chuckles softly and asks,"Do you think a hug is to much?"

"You know what? I don't really care." I lean up and kiss him softly and when we break away, I blush and look down at me feet as I still am not a huge fan of PDA, I feel strong arms wrap around my waist and we stay like that for a bit.

After a while, I hear a gasp and turn around to face my new friends and their shocked faces make me want to laugh so hard but I hold it in and I can tell Tobias is too.

I notice others around us are gawking as well but Tobias just glares at them and they turn away and back to their conversations. Christina is the one to speak well stutter first which isn't a surprise,"Wh-a-whe-how? What is this? How long?" Lots more questions are thrown at me but I let her finish, the last one really gets to me though," Why didn't you tell me, I'm supposed to be your best friend... Why don't you trust me?!" She storms off before I have the chance to explain and Will follows but not before congratulating us. Well done tris, I think? You just lost your best friend within 5 mins if being a dauntless member!

Tobias' arm comes back to wrap around my waist, while Uriah and Zeke grin and suggestively wiggle there eyebrows... At the same time, it was plain weird! Then Zeke Stands up on the table and shouts so loud he can be heard over all the loud dauntless conversations,"PARTY TONIGHT AT MINE! 7:30! PEACE OUT PANSYCAKES!" People start chatting and laughing and there's definitely an excited buzz in the air, I wonder how good Zeke's parties are. Anyway, who uses the word Pansycake and what does it even mean, I guess I can ask Tobias later.

"Do you want to go back to my apartment?" Tobias asks me sweetly and I just nod. We manage to get out the door without anyone bothering us which is very thankful and I see Christina round the corner. "Hey Tris! Wait up!" I slowly turn around and Christina runs to catch up.

"What do you want?" I don't mean to snap but it accidentally came out that way, I see her flinch slightly," I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to overreact, it was just a surprise to me that's all. Please can we be friends again?"

I know my answer straight away and say yes, after saying goodbye, we continue on our way to the apartment.

Halfway there, Tobias decides it's funny to throw me over his shoulder and carries me the rest of the way; even with me screaming and punching his rock hard back, it doesn't seem to faze him, and he just finds it funnier. When we finally get to his door, he hold onto my legs with one arm and unlocks the door with the other hand, let me tell you... That takes skill!

Once we are finally safe inside his apartment, he drops me on the couch and starts tickling me all over my tummy and especially my feet. How he found at they were ticklish, I don't know but he suddenly stops tickling me and we stare into each others eyes, I love the colour of his eyes- the unusual deep, dark blue eyes. I like these moments when we're happy and calm. I decide I want to kiss him so I do and after a lot of kissing, he gently sits me on his lap and looks kind if nervous.

"Uh Tris?"

"Hmmmm?" I'm too lazy to open my mouth and actually answer him so I just hum.

"Would you want to move in to my apartment? I mean, you don't have to if you don't want to..." He starts rambling and It takes some time for me to register what he actually said and all I can think of is why he wants a small plain ex-abnegation girl like me.

"Are you serious?" My eyes go large in shock and excitement but he looks a bit hurt and says,"why would I lie about something like this?"

"Yes!" I say loudly and excitedly," Of course I want to move In with you!"
