Nathan

So... let me get this straight. Tris is Six, and Four and her are together?! What the hell! Six is like so calm and kinda short (hehe no offense) and has like absolutely no curves. Four is tall with broad shoulders and a body any guy would want. If they're really together, Four must really love Six for her personality and not looks. I can tell that Four doesn't really like me.

Armand and Jackson, the 2 Candor, are being total idiots. They tease Kendra for being short, small, scrawny and taunt her that she wouldn't finish initiation. Yes, I agree with them, but she also has this look of determination in her eyes. Armand and Jackson are just too blind to notice it. But I know something about Armand most people don't: when he was 10, he used to wet his bed. I know because Alicia, Armand's twin sister, is in my math class in school. He's obviously not cut out for Candor if he can keep such a big secret.

Christian has brown hair and blue eyes, and he looks quite handsome. At least handsome enough to attract Marissa's attention. Marissa literally melts at the sight of him. Unfortunately for her, I bet Christian doesn't even know she exists. Christian is enemies with Armand and Jackson since the first day of initiation. Apparently, Christian accidentally elbowed Armand while getting his food and somehow insulted him. They've been enemies since then. Tosh and Christian are not friends, but at least they say hi when they meet each other and chat for a bit. I think Tosh likes Marissa but Marissa is too busy admiring Christian's perfect body and sexy voice. Isabel is quiet, too quiet for a Candor. Maybe that's why she became fast friends with Kendra. I saw them chatting with each other quietly. Isabel befriended Marlene, one of the girls in Four's room, and Kendra and her are trying to catch up with the others by taking fighting lessons from Marlene. I've seen them once. Marlene is quite a patient teacher and very, very strong. Best not to mess with her.

Today, Six released our pairings for the third fight. I won my first fight with Marissa and lost my second to Jackson. Jackson is brutally malicious, ready to do anything to be at the top of the list. I bet he wouldn't think twice if he had to betray Armand.

"Since there are nine of you, Sarah will not be fighting today," Four announces. I catch Sarah's eye. She smiles shyly and looks down at her sneakers. I am paired with Armand. Oh man, this is not gonna be fun.

Armand

"First fight - Nathan and Armand," Six yells.

I smirk at Nathan. To my surprise, he glares at me with cold, hard eyes. Never knew a Stiff could be like that. We circle around each other, not attacking. Then, when Nathan seems a little unfocused, I throw my fist out onto his jaw. He stumbles backwards and I shove him, hard. Surprisingly he doesn't fall over. He blinks his eyes and stares at me. I smile fake-innocently and throw out a punch to his stomach. His reflexes work incredibly fast and he grabs my wrist. I struggle, but to no avail. "You're a frigging bloody idiot, Stiff!" I scream. "My name is not Stiff," Nathan says, his voice dangerously soft. He holds my wrist with one hand and punches my stomach repeatedly with the other. I yell in pain and knee him in the stomach. He lets go of my wrist. I kick him in his groin and he doubles over in pain.

"Armand!" Four yells. "No hitting below the belt!"

Forget it, I've already done it. I shove Nathan in the hip. He moves slightly to the side, then reaches out to slap me. I try to duck and his hand hits my ears. My ears are ringing, my vision blur. I stumble around and after Nathan punches me one last time in the stomach, I fall to the ground, groaning. I shoot Nathan a look that could curdle cream. He responds with a withering stare.

Nathan

"Nathan wins!" Six shouts and applause rings out, except from Armand, Jackson and Sarah. I feel that I don't deserve the applause. I became someone I didn't know, someone I feared I would become. I became a second Armand, or even worse. You're a frigging bloody idiot, Stiff! Maybe I am an idiot, for what I have done to Armand. I didn't mean to hurt him, but he was hurting me deeply. Calm down... calm down...

Sarah walks over to me and puts an arm around my neck. "You okay?" she asks, furrowing her eyebrows in concern. I nod, wincing where Armand kneed and kicked me.

"Yeah, Stiff, go to your girlfriend!" Jackson taunts. "Go to her, tell her how much pain you're in!" Armand adds loudly, "go on, Stiff!" I march up to them, giving them a blood-chilling glare. Armand stares down at me, since I'm shorter than him. "What, think you're better than me?" Armand yells. "Huh? Do you?" Sarah tugs my wrist and says, "Nat, leave them alone. You're just wasting your time with these worthless people."

"Excuse me, did you just call me 'worthless'?" Jackson demands.

"Yes, yes I did," Sarah replies, confidence radiating off her, although Jackson is more than five inches taller than her.

Armand holds Jackson back before he can attack Sarah. "Forget it, don't waste your time with these worthless people."

"Come on, Armand, even if you wanna insult us, be more imaginative, yeah?" I say and stalk off with Sarah.

We walk out of the training room. Four and Six seemed oblivious to us leaving. Oh well. We walk through the hallways and on our way back to the dormitory, we pass the chasm. There are three drunk Dauntless there, taking swigs out of liquor bottles and laughing hysterically. Two of whom I don't recognise, and the last boy, I've seen him somewhere before. He turns around and loses his balance over the chasm. Oh my gosh. A dark-haired, dark-skinned boy. Uriah.

Yes! My first cliffhanger (I'm evil, yes I know bwahahahahahahaha)! Hope you like it, please review!
