After what seems like forever all the initiates are on the platform. So Lauren and I lead them down a narrow tunnel where we will separate, me with the transfers and her with the Dauntless-born.

I can here people bumping into each other and I smile to myself knowing no one else can see me in the dark hallway. Finally we come to the part where we go our separate ways.

"This is where we divide," Lauren says to the crowd, "The Dauntless-born initiates are with me. I assume you don't need a tour of the place," She smiles and beckons the Dauntless-born to follow her.

When they are all gone I notice there are only Candor and Euridte. Except for her, Tris, the only Abnegation. I finally address the crowd of transfers in front of me.

"Most of the time I work in the control room, but for the next few weeks, I am your instructor," I say, "My name is Four." It didn't take long for one of them to ask the expected ,stupid, questions. It was the Candor girl, standing next to Tris.

"Four? Like the number?" I was prepared for the questions so I make my voice low and hope she knows not to ask stupid questions, she isn't in Candor anymore she needs to act like it.

"Yes," I say, "Is there a problem?"

"No," she says and I can see that I intimidate her. So I continue.

"Good. We're about to go into the Pit, which you will learn one day to love it. It-" she interrupts, again.

She snickers, "The Pit? Clever name"

Now I'm mad, I walk up and lean in close to her face and look her in the eye. Then,narrowing my eyes, I finally talk.

"What's you name?" I say in a low, quiet voice.

"Christina," she squeaks.

"Well Christina, if I wanted to put up with Candor smart-mouths, I would have joined their faction" I hissed, "The first lesson you will learn from me is to keep your mouth shut. Got that?"

She just nods. So I turn and begin to walk again to the end of the shadowy tunnel, but I can still hear it when Christina says, "What a jerk,". Then a little to my surprise I hear Tris' voice respond.

"I guess he doesn't like to be laughed at" I couldn't figure out if she was agreeing with her or defending me. I pretend I didn't hear that and push open the double doors at the end of the tunnel. And we walk to the Pit.

"Oh," Christina says "I get it."

I let them look at the Pit. Then little children run by and laugh and play and I can tell Tris has a hard time not telling them to stop. She held back though, she has already figured out that it is a way of life here, which is good for her. Hopefully she will learn to love and accept the chaos. Finally I speak again, "Now if you'll follow me," I say to the group, "I'll show you the chasm."

When I turn around to leave I feel a pair of eyes land on the small portion of my tattoo that is peeking out of the collar of my shirt. I don't look to see who it is and walk them over to the chasm. Everybody stops when we get there and look over the edge at the roaring water underneath. If you were to fall, you would die.

"The chasm reminds us that there is a fine line between bravery and idiocy" I shout over the roar of water, "A daredevil jump off this ledge will end your life. It happened before and it will happen again. You've been warned. Then there was a small talk in the crowd and I just so happened to over hear Christina's and Tris'.

"This is incredible," Christina said and I couldn't think of a better work myself.

As if reading my thoughts Tris nodded and said, "Incredible is the word,"

Finally I lead then across the pit and into the door of the cafiteria and once we were in the the Dauntless went crazy cheering, pumping fist, and applauding, always happy to get new members. Everyone looks for an open seat to sit down, and I ended up sitting with Tris and Christina. We were having hamburgers tonight and I saw Tris pinch her's between her fingers unsure of what to make of it. I nudged her with my elbow to get her attention.

"It's a beef," I explained, "Put this on it," I handed her the ketchup.

"You've never had a hamburger?" Christina asked her eyes widening.

"No," Tris replied, "Is that what it's called?"

"Stiffs eat plain food," I said nodding towards Christina.

"Why?" Wow she asked a lot of questions. Tris didn't seem to mind the questions though she just shrugged.

"Extravagance is considered self-indulgent and unnecessary"

Christina smirked and said, "No wonder you left."

"Yeah" Tris said rolling her eyes, "It was just because of the food," I tried my best not to smile. Then the doors to the cafeteria open and I don't have to try so hard not to smile. Eric walks in and everyone goes hushed.

"Who's that?" Christina asked me.

"His name is Eric," I replied, "He's a Dauntless leader,"

"Seriously? He's so young," she said and I give her a grave look. Hasn't she figured it out yet.

"Age doesn't matter here,"

He scans the room and starts walking toward a table, our table. I involuntarily stiffen as he sits down next to me.

Finally he says, "Well, aren't you going to introduce me?" then nods in Christina and Tris' direction.

"This is Tris and Christina," I say.

"Ooh, a Stiff," He says smirking and I want to punch him, hard, but somehow I miraculously hold back, "We'll see how long you last," Then he tapped his fingers on the table and I wanted to strangle him, why does he annoy me if he has what he wants.

"What have you been doing lately Four?" he asks.

I lift a shoulder and reply coolly, "Nothing, really,"

"Max tells me he keeps trying to meet with you, and you don't show up," Eric says, "He requested that I find out what's going on it you" Now he was really annoying me and I had too just look at him for a few seconds to calm myself.

Finally I said, "Tell him that I am satisfied with the position that I currently hold,"

"So he wants to offer you a job," and I catch the slightest bit of jealously in his voice.

"So it would seem," I reply.

"And you aren't interested."

"I haven't been interest for two years,"

"Well," Eric says getting up, "Let's hope he gets the point, then" he claps my on the shoulder far to hard to be friendly and finally walks away. I lose the tension and feel like a huge wait has been lifted off my chest. I also see Tris slouch.

"Are you two... friends" She asked.

"We were in the same initiate class," he said, "He transfered from Eurdite,"

Then for some reason I see her curiosity take over as if she is going to push the limits, like she didnt have to be careful around me.

"Were you a transfer too," she asked that very dangerous question, that I defiantly would not answer. So to make her put her guard back up I snap at her.

"I thought I would only have trouble with the Candor asking too many questions," I say n a cold voice, "Now I've got Stiffs, too?"

Then she says something that surprises me because she didn't put back up her guard, "Maybe it's because you're so approachable," she says flatly, "You know. Like a bed of nails."

I stare at her expecting her too look away but she doesn't. That'e when I realized she had very beautiful eyes. I see her blush ever so slightly and then I break the silence.

"Careful, Tris" Then I here Zeke call my name so I leave the table to finish dinner with him, being around her gave me a strange, yet happy, feeling. It needed to stop.

After dinner it was Eric's turn to talk to the initiates. I went to my room. I still felt weird about Tris. she was different, although she was not always making the smartest decisions she was brave. Also she was a Stiff. She jumped first, she wasn't afraid of me, and she was pretty. Not the average pretty though, she was her own type of pretty.

I need to stop think about her, I can't like her, I'm her instructor, and anyway even if I did like her I would need to pretend that I didn't, Eric would hurt her. Anyway I'm almost one hundred percent positive she doesn't even like me. I lay down on my bed and close my eyes and imagine her beautiful blue eyes until I finally fall asleep.
