Tris Pov:

When I walk into homeroom, I see a lot of familiar faces. Peter, Al, Drew, and Molly are all sitting together in their own little world. Zeke, Uriah, Will, and….Tobias are all talking in the opposite corner. I am shocked on how much Tobias has changed. He is barely recognizable. He has gained a lot of strength and he looks a lot more….mature. The thing that is the same though, is his dark blue eyes I had loved when I was 12. Unfortunately, I now know how misconceiving those eyes can be. I notice Zeke give Shauna a kiss on the cheek and Uriah snake his arm around Marlene's waist. WHat? Will and Christina are cuddling in the back.

Christina notices me looking and stand up and rushes over to me immediately. I know it probably isn't the smartest idea to be in be same group of friends I used to be in, but there ain't no way in hell that I would join Lauren or Peter's group.

"Six! Yay, you're finally here!" Chris (Christina) exclaims. She sees my expression and whispers in my ear. "I know they were mean to you but they aren't the same as they once were."

"I know." I whisper back. "You could have at least told me." She gives me an apologetic look and leads me to a seat by her. I take out my schedule and look at it.

Six:

1st Period/Homeroom: Tori - Language Arts

2nd Period: Max - AP Calculus

3rd Period: Amar - Gym

4th Period: Lunch

5th period: Tori: Music

6th Period: Free period

"Did you take History in 9th grade?" Uriah asks me. Apparently he was looking at my schedule too. Chris was right; they have changed, especially his voice. I nod.

"I took the science credit in 8th grade too. I also took my language in 9th to 11th." I answer his next questions. I hear him scoff something that sounded like "Nerd." I smirk at him. "No, I just think ahead." He smiles back at me and hold his hand out for me to shake.

"I'm Uriah."

"Six." And we shake hands.

"If you don't mind me asking, why Six?"

"I've only ever lost Six fights in my life." He looks impressed as I say this.

"Six, this is Zeke, Four, Shauna, Marlene, Lynn, Will, and you already know Chris over here. Guys, this is Six." I nod my head a them right as Tori walks in. She doesn't look different at all.

Language Arts was interesting, but it went by quickly. AP Calculus was boring as heck. For me though, it was easy, since I studied some of it over the summer. I was excited for gym though. From what I remember, Dauntless gym wasn't about fitness testing. It was about fighting and guns and knives and just everything fun. All of which I am kind of a pro at. I quickly changed into my black tank top, galaxy running leggings, and black tennis shoes. I emerge out of the dressing room to find that I am the first girl done changing. I recognize Coach Amar immediately. He is my dad's brother in law since he married my dad's sister, Leigh, and he taught me a little self defense before I moved.

He notices me and waves me over. I smile at him as I near. He immediately hugs me and squats down so we are about the same height.

"Six huh?" He smiles broadly.

"Only have ever lost six fights. I'm proud of it."

"As you should be. What new has happened? Gone mudding lately?" I sigh.

"I wish. Moving has not allowed me to go in a while. I got my old truck here so hopefully there's a nice spot somewhere around here."

"Try Bergin's point. (A/N not a real place just made it up. I do not live in Chicago.) As country as she gets, huh?" I laugh and hug him again.

"Have a good day kid."

"You too!" I call out as I walk over to my...friends? I guess we are friends in their eyes. Mine? The girls are my friends. I sit beside Lynn and I notice Four, Zeke, Uriah, and Will looking at me with their question written all over their faces.

"He is my dad's brother in law. My uncle." I say in a bored voice.

"Okay! Attention please!." Amar yells. We all turn to him. "Today we will be doing fights to start this year off. Choose your partners." i turn to the boys and Zeke is already asking me.

"Hey Six, want to be partners?" I smile at him.

"Sure." Four looks at me in concern.

"You know he is on the football team right?" Great. He thinks I'm a little girl who can't defend herself.

"Does it look like I care?" I snap. "I can defend myself just fine." I admit, it came out harsher than intended, but I don't care. He looks shocked for a minute and walks over to partner up with Edward. Coach Amar walks by to make sure we all have partners.

"Okay! First pair up is…..Six and Zeke!" I hear Zeke groan from behind me as we stand up and I chuckle.

"You're going down country chic." He says trying to imitate my country accent, but not doing a good job and I end up laughing.

"Back at ya, city boy." I say with laughter in my voice. We step up onto the platform and we begin to circle each other. I have gotten strong enough to where I don't have to be the one to make the first move, so I wait for him to strike. He swings at my head and I easily duck to avoid it. I punch him lightly in the gut, enough to make him hunch over, but not hard enough to actually hurt him. I take advantage of his distraction and and twist his hand behind his back and lower him to the ground. I place my knee on his back so I know he wont get up. I hear Amar countdown from 10 behind me and at zero, I release Zeke and help him up.

"Don't go easy on me next time." I mutter to him.

"I wasn't." I look at him in disbelief and crack a smile.

"So how did you get so good?" He asks me as we make our way to our seats.

"My mom and dad are in the military and they taught me and my brother how to fight. We both became really good and it is kind of like our hobby." I smile at the memories that come to me as I say this.

"That's pretty cool." Zeke says.

End Note: The quote from this chapter was As country as she gets, which is actually a title of a song by Joe Nichols. I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and please tell me what you think :) Thanks for reading it!
