A/N - Hey! So, i'm aware that there are probably already numerous stories about Tris's fear - this particular one. And she gets over it by "doing it" with Four. (No offence if you're the author of one of those stories! They're very fun, don't get me wrong.) So i wanted to create something a bit more complicated. Enjoy!

I do not own Divergent. (Although i wish i did!)

I step out of the room. That was so embarrassing. Please, please, please don't let them tell Four about my fear! No wait, screw that. Please don't let Four know about my fear! I really hope he didn't see that... what if he doesn't like me anymore because of it?

I shake my head to rid it of the thought, and walk towards the Pit where I meet Christina and Will. They are laughing and talking about something; maybe it's the fear landscapes. I sit down next to Christina.

"Hey guys," I greet them nervously. Eric wouldn't tell anyone, would he?

"Hey, Tris!" Christina beams at me. Phew. That's a relief.

Will leans across the table to me. "I heard you only had seven fears. I bet that's the least anyone has ever gotten!"

I laugh nervously. "Uh, well, I guess..." I glance over at Christina to see if she's mad, but she only smiles back.

"But seriously, the Dauntless Leaders were laughing at something after you went through your landscape," Will says, a glint of mischief in his eyes. "Any idea of what that may be?"

"Uh, no?" I squeak. Act normal, Tris. Calm down! "Why would they... laugh?"

Christina has a knowing look on her face. Oh my god. A knowing look? How could she know? She can't know! Am I really that easy to read?

I try to make my face a mask of calm, like I often see Four do. Expressionless, I think. Expressionless. Expression -

"I can tell you're lying!" Christina chides, well of course she does, she comes from Candor.

"Yeah, well I must have done something funny." A lame excuse. Come on Tris, think! I can't tell them i'm afraid of sex, it's too embarrassing. Maybe I would, but not in public like this!

Christina raises her eyebrows at me. Will leans in closer.

"Okay," I sigh. "I'm afraid of... Four." Partially true. What they don't know won't hurt them. Besides, Christina admits she is intimidated by him too.

She rolls her eyes. "Four? Seriously?"

I shrug and stare at the floor. "He kinda creeps me out."

Will laughs. "That's no big deal, Tris! Maybe he is a bit scary, but come on, the girl with seven fears, afraid of Four?"

"Yeah," I say, but I'm not paying attention... because what I didn't notice was Four standing a few meters away, right behind Will.

Oh no. Please don't tell me he heard. Above all the noise in the Pit, he couldn't have, right?

My eyes lock with his and we stare at each other for a second.

Christina and Will have moved on from the topic of Fear Landscapes and are chatting cheerfully about something else, not aware of my uneasiness.

Four turns around and starts walking back to his room.

I stand up abruptly, pushing my chair back with a clatter. Will and Christina look up from their conversation.

"Hey, Tris, where're you going?" Will asks, while Christina takes a sip from her cup, looking at me over the brim.

Wiping her mouth with the back of her hand, Christina puts her cup down. "Come on Tris, don't tell me you're heading off to bed already?"

"I'm tired," I say, staring at the spot where Four had vanished. "Um, night guys. See you later."

Will looks at Christina. "You really aren't going to bed this early, are you?"

Christina shrugs. "She must be more exhausted than I thought!"

I hurry off in the direction Four went, waving to Christina and Will over my shoulder as I go. "Sorry guys, I gotta go!"

As I reach Four's door, I slow down, thinking about what I will say to him. I reach out to knock, hesitating slightly.

What do I do? He thinks i'm afraid of him! I shake my head. This is so messed up. I hope I didn't hurt his feelings... What if he thinks I don't actually like him? Or that i'm weak? What if he doesn't like me anymore?

I reach out to open the door when I hear a crash from inside the room.

A/N - Aww, what?! A cliffhanger, at the first chapter? What are you doing?! I'm sorry but you'll just have to wait and see! Review! :)
