Chapter Two-
I wake up to shuffling feet. I look at the time and see it's two in the morning. I sit up to see Peter limp across the dormitory to his bunk. I try not to smile but triumph races through me. Suddenly he stops in front of my bunk. He must not know I'm awake. He pulls my blankets off my bunk and I shoot up and he smirks.
"What do you want?" I spit at him and stand up.
"Well I want you to be kicked out of Dauntless but I just don't know how I'll do that." He smirks. I hear some of the other initiates waking up but I don't care about them.
"Shut up Peter, that'll never happen. You'll just have live with me." I smirk and he scowls.
"Or I could kill you. Then I'd never have to worry about you coming back." He says and tries to punch my but I duck and drive a fist into his stomach knocking the wind out of him. By now all the initiates are awake and crowding around us.
"You win for now, but I'll be back. I'll get you." He says walking towards his bunk.
"You think you can beat me you coward?" I smirk as he spins around. His eyes are wide with some emotion I can't determine.
I look around to see the lights are on; someone must've turned them on while we were arguing. I see Christina who just looks shocked I dared to insult Peter and Will who just shakes his head as if saying I was being stupid. Instead of giving up I raised my smiled at him and decided to blow him another kiss.
"Sweet dreams you coward." I smirk and walk over to the door leaving.
I hear Christina calling my name but I just flick a hand above my head as if waving, but not quite. I keep walking when I realize; I have nowhere to go. I could go to Tobias' apartment but it's two fifteen and I'd have to explain to him all that's happened since we kissed an just the thought tires me. There's only one other place to go; the Dauntless Born dorms. I've never been in there and I'm a Stiff so most of them hate me but I have nowhere else to go.
When I get inside they're all awake and talking.
"What are you doing here Stiff?" Lynn says, she's sitting on a bunk with Marlene playing a card game.
"Nice to see you too Lynn." I say and she grins at me. I spot Uriah who's sitting on another bunk talking to a boy, who I recognize from zip lining; I think his name is Gabe. Uriah smiles at me, his jaw is purple and swollen and I suspect it hurts to smile but he does it anyways.
"You seriously brought the Stiff back again? Wasn't zip lining enough?" Gabe asks with a look of disgust and I smile at him synthetically.
"Gabe watch out, that's Tris." Lynn says and Gabe's jaw dropped.
"What's so shocking?" I ask mockingly and Lynn snorts.
"Shut up Stiff." Lynn says but she's smiling.
"Well you jumped first, you're dating Four, you ranked first, and you beat up Peter." Gabe says in awe.
"She beat up Peter twice, why else would she have come to our dorms? She wants to get away from the other transfers." Uriah says and I sit down on the bed across from him.
"Oh please tell me details! Is he in the infirmary again?" Lynn asks suddenly intrigued.
I explain everything that happened earlier today and then our fight that happened a couple minutes ago. By the end Uriah, Lynn, and Marlene are laughing while Gabe and some other girl are just staring at me in awe. Uriah claps and I stand up and bow.
"That's my girl!" Uriah says and I smile at him.
"As much as I want to I don't know if it's accurate to call you Stiff anymore." Lynn says but I can tell she doesn't to stop.
"Lynn shut up, you and I both know right now you're hoping and praying I let you still call me Stiff. I'll let you and only you call me Stiff." I say and Lynn smiles.
"Oh, sorry, Tris this is Kat." Uriah says pointing to a girl who's lying down on a bunk staring at the ceiling. At the mention of her name she shoots up and I smile at her. She pulls ear buds out of her ears and looks at me confused.
"What's the Stiff doing here?" She asks and Uriah just shakes his head at her.
"I have a name." I say Uriah laughs a little.
"This is Tris, you know, the girl who beat up Peter? The first jumper? She ranked first? She's dating Four? She did this to me?" Uriah says motioning to his face and her eyes widen.
"For god's sake am I really known as 'the girl who beat up Peter'?" I ask and Marlene smiles.
"The Dauntless love a good fight, especially one's that end in someone going to the hospital." She shrugs.
"Well why is she here?" Kat motions to me.
"Oh god!" I say rolling my eyes and Uriah grins.
He launches into the story of me and Peters' fight. It goes on for about a minute before I stop listening and lie down on the bunk I've been sitting on. I have no clue whose it is but I don't care. Eventually Kat just stares at me and I realize she was talking to me so I sit up.
"Sorry I wasn't paying attention." I confess.
"I asked if you're really dating Four." She explains and I laugh.
"Yes and no it has nothing to do with my rank if that's what you're thinking." She grins.
"Actually I was wondering if you knew his real name or any of his fears."
"I know both but I promised him I wouldn't tell anyone." Kat groans.
"C'mon give me something! I mean do you know how curious I am?"
"I'm sorry; it's not my secret to tell." I hold my hands up in surrender.
"Whatever." She shrugs.
We talk for an hour or so. The conversation changes to another topic about every fifteen minutes and half the time I'm not paying attention but it's still the most I've had in a long time. Sometime around three in the morning we all go to sleep.
