Sorry it took me so long to update but school had been claiming me these past few days. Also, I found out that I'm moving to St. Louis in the summer then after a few months, I'm moving to a state outside the mid-west. My dad got a new job so there's going to be a lot of moving for me in the future. That's not going to be for a while so I'm not going to worry about it.

Anyway, here is the next chapter and I hope you like it. I don't own Divergent.

Chapter 2

TOBIAS' POV

"Tobias, time to get up," my mother, Natalie, calls from behind my door. "If you don't get up soon, you'll be late for school."

"Five more minutes," I mumble, turning over in my sleep.

"Tobias, if you don't get up soon, you won't be able to get breakfast. And I know how you are without food in your stomach."

I grumble. "Fine, I'm getting up." I get up then walk over to my drawers, taking out jeans and a plain black T-shirt. I change into those clothes then run a comb through my short, brown hair. I slip on my black sneakers and walk downstairs to the kitchen to find my younger brother, Caleb, sitting at the table, reading a book. I walk over to him and ruffle his hair. "Hey!" Caleb exclaims, fixing his hair. "Why do you always do that?"

"It's my way of saying good morning," I tell him.

"Boys," warns my dad. "Behave."

"Yes, dad," Caleb and I both say.

"Now, I know you two like to mess around but you have to learn to behave," Mom says, walking over to the table with a plate of pancakes. "Like your father said."

"You also need to be on your best behavior tonight," says Dad.

"What's going on tonight?" Caleb asks.

"My boss has invited all of us over for dinner tonight."

"Marcus Eaton? As in the mayor, Marcus Eaton?" I ask.

"Yes, Tobias," answers Mom. "And this is the first time he has invited us over so we all need to be on our best behavior."

"I think that, if tonight goes well, I might get promoted," states Dad.

"That would be great, honey!" Mom exclaims, kissing Dad's cheek. "See? I told you something good would come from moving to Chicago."

Dad grabs Mom's hand and gives it a gentle squeeze, smiling at her. In case you haven't figured it out, my dad is working alongside the mayor of Chicago, Marcus Eaton. My family and I moved here a year and a half ago from St. Louis, Missouri to live in the big city of Chicago, Illinois. I didn't really have many friends in St. Louis but ever since we moved to Chicago, I have made a lot of friends and my best is Zeke. He and his little brother, Uriah, hold parties almost every single weekend.

"All right, eat up you two," Mom says, gesturing to Caleb and I. "You don't to be late for school."

I take three pancakes and start to eat my breakfast. A few minutes pass and I finish eating my pancakes then got to the upstairs bathroom to brush my teeth. Afterwards, I grab my backpack and go downstairs, grabbing my keys to my car. I then stand by the door, waiting for my brother to come down. "Caleb, let's go!" I call, getting impatient. "You can read your book in the car!"

"I'm coming!" Caleb yells, walking over to me while putting his book in his backpack. "Sorry, I just wanted to finish my chapter."

I roll my eyes. "Your book isn't going anywhere, Caleb. Come on, let's go." We walk out of the house and towards my car. I get in the driver's side while Caleb gets into the passenger side. I start the car and drive towards Faction High.

This high school is very different from other high schools. The school is divided by factions, which are Dauntless, Abnegation, Erudite, Candor, and Amity, and each one represents a certain value. Amity value kindness and they are the actors of our musicals and plays and 'don't-fight-at-all' people in the school. Candor value honesty and they always tell the truth; they might become lawyers in the future. Erudite value knowledge which makes them the 'teacher's pet' of the school. Those people will become teachers, scientists, and doctors in the future. My brother is in this faction. Abnegation value selflessness and those people are usually the ones who volunteer for everything. They will probably do something related to helping people.

Then, there is my faction, Dauntless. We are the 'sport' people of the school. Everyone that is in Dauntless is in some kind of sport. I'm in football and baseball. There are also some of us that like to start fights. My friends and I never start them but we always find ourselves in the fight. Of course, we manage to get ourselves out of the fight before the teachers come to stop it.

I pull into the school parking lot and park the car. I get out, along with Caleb, and start walking towards the school. Once we get towards the front, we separate and go to our friends. "Hey guys," I greet, once I get over to them.

"Four, my main man!" Zeke exclaims, grabbing my hand. "How have you been?" Zeke is my best friend is in this entire school. He was the first guy to come to me when I first moved here and made me feel welcomed. He also introduced me to his group of friends which consisted of his brother, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Shauna, Christina, and Will. Shauna and Lynn are sisters while Christina and Will transferred from a different factor. When I moved here, I learned that there were five schools based on the factions and, once you got into high school, you got to choose to stay with that said faction or transfer. Christina transferred from Candor while Will transferred from Erudite. In our group, Zeke, Shauna, and I are the oldest at eighteen while Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Christina, and Will are all sixteen.

"I've been good," I answer him. "Not looking forward to going to classes, though."

"Who isn't?" Christina asks.

"Erudite," answers Uriah.

"That's true."

The bell suddenly rings and all of us groan. Time to being another day at Faction High. We all walk down the hall to go to our first class of the day.

The bell rings signaling that it's time for lunch. I practically race out of my history class and towards the lunchroom. I get in line for lunch then, once I get to the front, get myself a hamburger with fries and some chocolate cake. I sit down with my friends at our table and start eating, while listening to my friends talking with one another. I slowly start to drift away from the conversation and go into my own little world until I feel someone shove my shoulder. I look up to see Uriah staring at me. "What?" I ask.

"I asked if you're free tonight."

"Oh. No, I'm not. My family and I got invited to have dinner at Marcus' house."

"Marcus Eaton?" Will asks. "The mayor of Chicago?"

"Yeah."

"I've heard so many rumors about him," states Marlene. "And about his daughter."

"He has a daughter?" I ask.

"I'm pretty sure," answers Shauna. "She stopped going to school about six years ago. Marcus said that he wanted her home-schooled but we have never seen her since. But anyway, the rumors started about ten years ago when he was running for mayor. People were saying that he abuses his wife and daughter. Marcus would shoot these rumors down and say they were lies and that those people were just trying to get themselves votes. He was elected for mayor but a few years after, his wife disappeared. No one know where she went and now, people are bringing up the rumors again."

"That's why I'm not going into politics," mutters Lynn.

"Wait, you never said anything about going into politics," says Zeke.

"Exactly."

Zeke gives her a confused look and we chuckle at his expression. Suddenly, a sound of a tray dropping and the conversation in the room stops. Everyone in the room, including us, turns our attention to the middle of the room, where one of the school bullies is standing over an Abnegation boy. "Do you not watch where you are going, Stiff?!" one of them yells. "Pay attention!" He then walks away, leaving the boy to clean up the mess. Of course, other Abnegation students come over to help the boy clean up.

"Eric needs to learn to take a chill pill," says Marlene.

"Agreed," confirms Lynn.

Eric and his group, which consists of Peter, Drew, and Molly, are the bullies in Faction High. They are always picking on everyone in the school, whether they are Dauntless or not. Eric and I have always been at each other's throats since I moved here. I'm pretty sure it's because I bested him in football tryouts and got the quarter back position instead of Eric. Ever since then, Eric has always hated and will always try to get me into some kind of trouble to get me kicked out of football. That's also how I got my nickname. In both football and baseball, I was able to get four touchdowns/homeruns in a row in both sports. That's how Four came to be…and it's also the number on my jersey.

I finish eating my food, while smacking Uriah's hand away from my cake, and listen to my friends talking with each other until the lunch period is over.

Later that day, I'm leaning against the car, waiting for my brother to come out. After ten minutes pass, Caleb rushes out of the school. "Sorry, I was talking with my group for my science class when I remembered that we had that dinner tonight," says Caleb.

"It's fine," I say. "Let's get home so we can get ready and leave in time." Caleb nods and we get into the car. I drive home and we got home in about fifteen minutes. We walk inside the house to see our mother wearing a light purple blouse with a black knee length skirt and black flats. "Oh, there you are," says Mom. "Now go upstairs and put something nice on. We'll be leaving in a few minutes."

"Yes, mom," we both say then go upstairs. I go into my room and change into a nice dark red shirt, dark jeans, and black sneakers. I walk back downstairs to see my father wearing a gray dress shirt with dress pants and shoes. I look down at myself then back up at my parents. "Should I change into something nicer?" I ask.

"No, you're fine," Mom says, walking over to me. She fixes my hair then gives me a reassuring smile. "There." Caleb then comes down the stairs wearing a blue shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

"All right, let's go," says Dad. We all walk out of the house and start walking down the street. At first, I don't know why we aren't taking the car until I realize that Marcus' house is five houses down from ours. Dad knocks on the door and, after a few minutes, the door opens to reveal Marcus Eaton. He's a slightly older man with graying dark brown hair and it also seems that he has dark circles under his eyes. Marcus is wearing a button down, white shirt with a black blazer over it and black dress pants and shoes. He smiles at us then holds out his hand. "Hello, Andrew. It's good to see you again," greets Marcus.

"Yes it is, Marcus," Dad says, shaking Marcus' hand. He then gestures to us. "This is my wife, Natalie, and my sons, Tobias and Caleb."

"It's a pleasure to meet you all," says Marcus. "Please come in." He steps aside and we all walk into the house. I look around and the house looks very nice and clean. It's almost as if someone cleaned the house up before we even arrived. A wafting smell then hit me and my stomach immediately starts growling. I can feel my face heat up as everyone turns their attention to me. "Sorry," I mutter.

"No, that's fine," reassures Marcus. "Come, let's sit down and eat."

We follow him to the dining room where chicken, potatoes, and corn sits on the table with five plates surrounding it. I notice Marcus glaring at the table before he turns away and walks towards the kitchen. He comes back out with a bottle of wine and a jug of milk. "Is wine ok with you, Andrew and Natalie?" Marcus asks.

"Yes," Mom answers and Marcus pours the wine for them then pours me and Caleb a cup of milk. We all then sit down at the table and put food on our plates. As I'm eating, I tune out my dad and Marcus talk about politics and stuff like that. I'm not really interested in that stuff so I'm always zoning out.

"So, Tobias, are you in anything?" Marcus asks me, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"I'm in football and baseball," I answer after swallowing my food.

"I see. And what about you, Caleb?"

"I'm in the science club," answers Caleb.

"Ah, very interesting. So are you hoping to be a scientist?"

"Maybe."

Marcus and Caleb start talking and I internally groan. I hate it when Caleb talks all science-y and smart-y.

"Excuse me, but where is your bathroom?" I interrupt.

"It's down the hall by the stairs and to the right," answers Marcus.

"Thank you." I get up from my seat and start walking away, hoping that by the time I use the bathroom then get back, Caleb would be done talking. As I'm walking towards the stairs, I hear something fall upstairs. Curiosity gets the better of me and I start walking upstairs. Once I get to the top, I see a door shutting and start walking over towards it. I hesitate to open the door, the back of my mind telling me to go back downstairs. But I push that thought aside and push the door open. There, in the middle of the room, is a girl with dull, blonde hair and grayish-blue eyes lying on the floor.

The two have met! What will happen? What will their reactions be? Will Marcus find out? So many questions! Find out in the next chapter which will be coming soon...hopefully. Please review and tell me what you think. Bye :)
