Hey guys! HAPPY NEW YEARS! I hope you all have a wonderful booky new year, and all your resolution get accomplished. I'll try and update more consistently now, but with school you can never promise anything to be consistent. Anyways, onto the story!

Beatrice POV

I see with Tobias every afternoon for the next month. It turns out he helps out with the computers at school, and finishes the same time we do. So instead of taking the bus, we walk back home together. Sometimes we take different routes than the one that all other Abnegation kids take. We discover our own. It's a type of adventure, the kind we rarely find in Abnegation. For me at least, for him it's probably just to see if he can get home faster to help his father. Typical Abnegation.

I walk out of school today with my bag on my shoulder, exhausted. Exams were in two weeks, and all of the teachers were stuffing our heads with all of the information they could, along with giving us twice the usual homework. I spot Tobias out of the corner of my eye, casually leaning against the school wall, and walk towards him. During school today, when I was bored out of my mind during Faction History, I remembered somewhere that my mom brought me when we were little. It was a meadow. She didn't have a reason to bring me, and when I asked her if it was selfish she replied,

"Not if I am making you happy. Then I am helping someone. You." And I just giggled, and we talked. It was the best memory of my childhood. Probably because it was the only one that was colorful, and happy. I wanted to bring Tobias to that meadow. Today. My dad would be home late, which would also mean his dad would be as well. Caleb won't care where I am and mom is taking a double shift for helping the factionless. We are practically free until dinner.

"What has gotten into you?" Tobias asks when I reach him, slightly smirking. I feel a light blush appear on my cheeks. I ALWAYS blush. Its annoying.

"I just remembered a great place to go. And since both of our families are out, I thought we could spend some time there." I look up at him hopefully. He is deep in thought for a minute and then slowly nods his head.

"Sure. But I have to get back by..." he looks at his watch, "Five." I nod. He smiles gently, and I lead him to the meadow.

It's been awhile since I visited the meadow. I used to sneak off to visit it a lot when I was younger, to bask in its calm nature. I stopped going as I got older, and had to start taking on more service projects instead.

The walk is a quiet one. Neither Tobias or I say anything to each other. That is the unique thing about our friendship, how we can simply be in each other's company and not have to constantly find something to talk about. About ten minutes later we reach the meadow. If I remember right, the way back home should only take about 15 minutes, which means we have an hour to do whatever we want.

"Here we are!" I tell him, giving him a smile. He looks around, his face filled with wonder, a smile growing onto his face as well.

"How did you find this place?" He says, then flinches. "Sorry. I shouldn't be asking questions. That was selfish of me." His shoulders tensed, as if he was waiting for me to scold him or something.

"I don't mind you asking questions-as long as you don't mind me asking any." I say. He relaxes, and his smile returns. It blows my mind how he can change his emotions so much in such a short period of time.

"Deal." He says, "So how did you find this place?" He asks again.

"My mom took me when I was six, after I had won a contest in school. She took me on a celebratory picnic out here. After that I snuck here after school for a few years, but then stopped once I started getting more service projects." I take a pause, looking out into the blue sky. It had a few clouds, but it was good enough for me. " This is my first time back in four years." Tobias just nods, and we sit in silence for a while, listening to the occasional bird call and the wind in the trees.

" When you pick, are you going to transfer?" He asks suddenly, causing me to slightly jump. He chuckles and I smile. Am I going to transfer? I don't know. Do I want to? Yes.

"I don't know yet. I mean, I probably will, but leaving my family would be really hard, and I don't know if I could live in any of the other factions." His look darkens when I mention my family, and I wonder why. "If I had to choose another faction, it would be Dauntless. I always… I always admired them and looked up to them. But I could never be as strong or brave as them." I say looking down. "How about you?"

"I would transfer. Abnegation is stifling. I can't stand it. I'm pretty sure I am transferring to Dauntless. And I would probably fail initiation anyways. Like you said, I'm not strong."

"I said that I'm not strong. I didn't even mention you."

"Doesn't matter. What does matter is that I want to train. For Dauntless."

"Train?" I ask, dumbfounded. Not only does he want to transfer to the same faction as me…. but he wants to train for it too? In Abnegation?

He starts to look uncomfortable. He scratches the back of his neck. " Yeah, train. You know, to build our endurances and stuff. We don't have any equipment, but we could run, and climb. We would have to do it at night, but it could work."

"We?" I ask, still in shock.

"You want to join Dauntless, don't you? And I do too, so we can train together, that way when we join, we might actually have a chance at passing and getting a good is if you want to." He adds. He looks so confident, so excited for this plan that I can't say no. Besides, it couldn't hurt. Well, it could. We could get in a lot of trouble. But we won't. We haven't gotten caught yet, have we?

"Sure. Let's do this." He smiles.

"Great, now we just need a time and place."

"How about we meet here?" I suggest.

"I don't know the way."

"Right." I say. "How about I just meet you in front of my house? Then we can walk to the meadow and train here. The ground is hard most of the time, and no one could hear us." Tobias slowly nods his head.

"That could work. What time though? Everyone would have to be asleep." He says. We both think for a moment.

"If you don't mind losing a bit of sleep, one in the morning would be perfect. The city shuts down its lights and everything at midnight, so everyone would be gone and asleep at one, wouldn't they?" I ask. He smiles.

"How come all the sudden you are thinking of all the good ideas?" I stick my tongue out at him and he laughs.

"I think of good ideas all the time, in case you haven't noticed. And you were the one who thought to train. That counts for something."

"That it does." He replies. He looks at his watch. "It's 4:45, we should get going." I nod. We get up reluctantly, and with that I take the lead and lead us back to Abnegation.


When we get back, Tobias holds me back before we enter the group of houses.

"I don't want to look suspicious." He says, answering my confused look. "You and me walking together an hour later than we normally do. We walk into the neighborhood separately. Me first then you. Okay?"

"Okay." (TFIOS anyone?)

"So I'll see you tonight?" He asks.

"Technically tomorrow morning…." I say, and he laughs gently.

"Okay then. I'll see you tomorrow morning." He says, and with a wink, heads off into the neighborhood. And moments later, so do I, thinking one thing.

I can't wait until tomorrow morning.

How did you guys like it? I made it a bit longer than normal, hopefully it makes up for the last one. But guys, THIS IS THE FIRST CHAPTER OF 2016! I can't wait to continue and finish this story this year. Anyways, leave your thoughts/suggestions in your reviews as always! Love you guys.

QOTD (Random, I know, but I am really curious)- If you've seen it, what do you think of the Allegiant trailer? And the Divergent/Insurgent movies. I want to know everyone's reviews. Very curious :P
