EDITED: I redid the spacing again, and the dialogue was also reformatted. (8/24/14)

A/N: This chapter will reveal lots of new information, but a certain dark eyed male won't spill all of his secrets just yet…

Tris POV

Previous Chapter:

The car ride home is silent, but not and awkward silence, a comfortable silence. We pull into the garage, and go into the house when I see a face I was not expecting.

"Dad! I thought you are on your campaign! What are you doing here?" I wasn't expecting to see my father and I was very surprised at his he isn't home much during his campaign.

"I came home to see your mother, Bea. Who's your friend here?" My father explains. He seems to already know Four, which is strange. I reply anyway, "This is my friend, Four, from school. We are working on a project together."

My father smiles and says, "Have fun, but remember Bea, we have to go to the gala tonight to promote all of the republican candidates. (A/N: I don't want to offend anyone, but I think that Andrew Prior would be Republican. ) Four seems to tense up when my father mentions the gala. Maybe he's a Democrat or something.

Four and I head up to our studio room, the room Mum paints fabric in for her patterned pieces. We lay out the supplies and I start to sketch out our design on the slate. After the sketch is done, we start to paint in.

"Let's play 7 questions as we paint. I want to get to know about you." Four says.

"Ok, I'll start."

"Ask away," he replies, leaning back.

"Let's start with basics, what's your real name?"

"Um, that's something for me to know and you to find out, most people don't know." he replies. Normally in this game, you can't not answer anything, but he seems to want to protect this information, so I just ask another question.

"How old are you?"

"I just turned 17," he replies. So he's only a few months older than me.

"Why did you move here?"

"My dad's work moved here."

"What does your dad do?

"He works in the government, at least for now he does."

"My dad works in government, he's the Governor."

"Your dads Andrew Prior?" He asks.

"Yeah, and my mum is Natalie Prior, you know the founder of Maison de Beaute. Next question, what does your mum do?"

"My mom died a few years ago." He says solemnly.

Tobias' mom died a few years ago, and his dad worked in the government. This can't be a coincidence, right?

"Oh I'm sorry, um what faction are you going to join?"

"I'm joining Dauntless, the other factions just sound boring," He laughs. I love his laugh. He throws his head back, and his laugh is a deep bellowing laugh.

"I'm in Dauntless too, are you trying out for the Football team?"

"Actually, I'm already on it. My old coach in DC sent over a tape last year, and Coach already put me on the team. I'll be on the first string." That's practically unheard of. He must be amazing.

"Ha! Eric got kicked off first string! I hate Eric. What's your dad like?"

"Um, I don't really want to talk about him."

"Ok, how bout you ask me questions now?" I suggest.

"Ok, What's your real name?"

"Beatrice Amanda Prior," I respond.

"Age?"

"I'm 16," I tell him, as I start to paint the mural.

"Sport?" He asks, grabbing a paint brush also.

"Field hockey and Track, I never got the hang of Lacrosse, like most girls who play field hockey."

"I do track too. Where were you born?"

"Chicago, born and raised." I respond.

"I was born here, too. Siblings?"

"I have a brother, Caleb who is 17. He's 10 months older than me."

"I'm an only child. Friends?"

"Christina and I have been best friends since we were young, Uriah and Zeke Pedrad and Caleb and I have been best friends since we were infants. Our mothers bonded over how they had 2 children 10 months apart. I have been friends with Marlene and Shauna for a while now too. Oh, and there was a boy I was a little more than friends with a long time ago, Tobias. But he moved away, to DC. Maybe you know him?"

"No, I didn't sorry, um I have to go home now, to unpack. See you tomorrow at school?"

"Yeah, see you tomorrow."

As soon as Four leaves my mother rushes into the studio with yet another garment bag.

"Beatrice, I have been looking for you EVERYWHERE! You need to get ready for the Gala, we leave in 30 minutes. It's at the Pire, which is all the way across town." Mum leaves the room, and I am left with a garment bag.

I trudge back to my room, and into my dressing room. I pull the dress out of the bag. It's a stapless black and grey A-Line dress with a sweetheart neckline. I slip it on with some mint colored pumps, and run downstairs.

I see Caleb in a black suit, with a grey tie, my father in the same, and mother in a grey pencil skirt and black blouse. Matching…fabulous. We head out to the waiting limo, I see Four down the street in a suit also. Maybe he's going to the Gala too.

The ride to the Pire is short, even though it's across town. My mother and father whisper to each other about who knows what, Caleb reads a book, and I just sit there.

The Pire is a cool place, its all glass, and it's on top of a skyscraper, so you can see the entire city. I

see other politicians, Susan Black, and her father, Arnold. Susan and I are somewhat friends. We are the same age, and we go to the same school, but she's Abnegation and I'm Dauntless. Normally we hang out together at these things because of convience, but lately Caleb has been hanging out with her. I think he likes her. Don't get me wrong- she's pretty, and nice, but she's abnegation, which means that she is super selfless, and doesn't like indulgences.

Dinner is about to be served, and we take our seats at our table. Marcus Eaton is sitting by us, maybe he came back for this gala.

Then, Four sits down. At Tobias Eaton's place. Four. Tobias. Four is Tobias.

I try to hide my shock, and Four whispers in my ear, "Now is the part where you figure out my name." I grin slightly. My friend is back, I guess.

"Tobias, Tobias Eaton. You knew who I was this afternoon, didn't you?"

Tobias smirks, "I had my suspicions, but when we played 7 questions I was sure. Just don't tell the guys at school, just yet, I want to see if they can figure out."

I smile, "Of course, it's not my secret to tell." Tobias hugs me, and whispers in my ear, "I missed you, Beatrice." Marcus glares at Tobias as we hug, but my parents smile knowingly. They knew that we had something, but they never said anything. I missed him, and now he's back.

The gala flies by, and before I know it I'm at home, dreaming about Tobias.

A/N: I'll try to post the next chapter later today, it will include the re-choosing ceremony and the initiation. I decided to make the initiation short, and Tris and one other character will lead it. If you have suggestions on who the character should be, tell me in the reviews!
