I got two reviews already, so thank you! I am so shocked! So here's an update for ya. ;D

I wiped the sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand. Marcus and Tobias had just left, so I was staying to help clean up since my mother had refused help from them.

"Beatrice," my mother said quietly, "I need to talk to you about something."

I nodded, carefully placing down the bowl I was scrubbing. I followed her outside, to the front lawn. We stood on the grey sidewalk.

"I wanted to ask you how you feel about Tobias," she started nervously, "because your father seems to like him and I believe he wants you to marry him."

My breath caught. In my mind, I began screaming no, that I was too young, and they couldn't force me. But I knew they could. This is how things worked in Abnegation. Parents chose who you married.

I nodded. "He is kind. And he seems very selfless. I like him."

She nodded as well. "Good, good," she muttered.

I pictured him in my head. The structure on his face, his eyes, his scars, his ski- wait, scars? I hadn't thought of them. He lived in Abnegation, did he not? We did not fight here. It seemed selfish. Then why does he have scars?

"Mother," I said, "pardon my curiosity, but why does Tobias Eaton have those wicked scars on his face? Has he been in a fight recently?"

She shook her head. "That is a matter to discuss later. I honestly do not know, but I suspect something. You must never tell your father we talked of any of this, alright?"

I nodded, and we went inside.

After gathering my things and bidding farewell, I began my trek home. I took the ways of the cracked sidewalk, where Caleb and I had been forced to play hopscotch to avoid falling. My eyes flickered around. No one was there. I started doing what we had when we were younger, one foot, other foot, then both feet. I continued this simple routine until I was past the jagged concrete.

"Playing games, I see." Tobias Eaton's voice appeared beside me. I jumped, nearly dropping my plastic container of peas.

He frowned. "Did I frighten you? If so, I apologize. It was not on purpose."

I shook my head, my hair bouncing slightly. "No. I was just slightly shocked, is all."

He nodded. "May I accompany you on your way home?" he asked, blinking those blue eyes of his. I couldn't help but look at the scars. They were faint, barely noticable. Then again, I was a freak afterall. Being Divergent meant I was strange. Not right. Perhaps I had super vision as well. The thought made me chuckle lightly aloud.

"Is the question funny?" Tobias asked timidly.

I blushed brightly, my cheeks becoming hot. "No. I was just thinking of something amusing. If you would like to, yes, you many accompany me on my way home."

We walked in silence until we reached my house. It was just like every other house in Abnegation. Simple.

"Thank you," I said, opening my door and standing in the threshold.

"You are welcome. Thank you for letting me accompany you," he said, "I must go. Goodbye, Beatrice."

I smiled. "Goodbye, Tobias."

I walked into my house and shut the door behind me.

Here's an update for yooooo.

Thank you to everyone who gave me a review! I really appreciate them! They motivate me to post chapters.

Thanks again ;P
