Tris 13 years old POV

A week after the night in her room

I wake up a little later today because it is my day off from service. Normally I wake up a little after 6:30 today but I slept in til about 7:15 today. I know it's not much, but I'll take what I can get. I can't be too selfish now.

I'm supposed to meet Toby at the tracks at 8:00, so hurry to get ready. In all honesty, it doesn't take that long to get ready though considering we aren't allowed any source of vanity like fancy clothes, elaborate hairstyles, or makeup. When I was younger those factor didn't really matter to me , but now I find myself worried much more about my appearance, especially what Toby thinks of me. I don't know why I bother, he won't see me like that, just as a little sister. The sooner I get over that the sooner I'll be a better Abnegation.

Once I make sure I'm clear of Abnegation, I start to sprint like I see the Dauntless do. It just makes me feel so free. It's times like these where I know no matter how hard I try I can never belong to Abnegation. It's times like these that I know I am dauntless.

I reach the train tracks in 10 minutes never stopping once to catch my breath. I see Tobias over by our normal spot pacing nervously back and forth. I wonder what is making him like this , this kind of behavior is totally out of the norm for him.

I walk up stealthily behind him, " hey Toby! What's up?"

He jolts startled by sudden arrival, "oh- um, hey Bea you actually , um, came." He says shakily.

"Of course I came, I always come. Why did you think I wouldn't?" I chuckle at his loss of words.

"I don't know nerves I guess." He says looking down bashfully.

"Toby are you okay, you seem kind of rattled. Marcus didn't hurt you again did he?" My tone changes from light to serious in a matter of seconds.

" No, I'm perfectly fine... It's just that I have to ask you a question."

"Okay, whenever you're ready Toby."

Tobias 15 POV

I am finally going to do ask her. It's taken me a week to round up the courage, but I figure that if I am going to be dauntless I have to get over my fear of her saying no.

I walk over to her and cup her little face in my strong hand. I gaze at her wind swept cheeks from sprinting, her gentle lips, and her breathtakingly fierce bluish grey eyes. One look at those eyes and I know I can do anything.

I suck in one more breath knowing that my revelation of my feelings for her could change our relationship, but I have to be brave and take the risk.

"Beatrice Prior,you are beautiful, smart, kind, selfless, and brave. Most of all you are like no girl I've ever met before. From the moment I met you, you stood out, and I knew you had to be a part of my life. Now that you are I never want to leave you... You see the only problem is my choosing is in less than a year away and I'm not staying in abnegation, I'm going to dauntless. So..."

...

Beatrice POV

" Wait so you want me to go to dauntless with you." I ask, my mind reeling from Tobias's confession.

He rubs the back of his neck nervously,"um- yes- I understand if you don't want to, and I know it is completely selfish of me to ask. So I completely understand if you don't want to."

I always wanted to be dauntless, I know that it is selfish, but I don't care anymore. I'm not meant for abnegation, I meant for dauntless and I need to make this choice for me, not my family, because it is my life.

I look up in to Toby's dark,stormy eyes that show a hint of fear. I know when I look into those eyes I could never leave him, and that he has just solidified my future.

I bring my tiny hand up to his cheek mimicking his hand on mine. "Yes Tobias, yes I will go to dauntless with you." I say smiling.

His once nervous face burst into full out happiness. He picks me up and spins me around.

" Toby put me down, I'm getting dizzy." I say giggling.

" Sorry Bea, I'm just so relieved that you're going to meet me in dauntless." He says, but what happens next is unexpected. He leans his head down to meet mine and gentle places his lips to mine. It takes me a minute to register that Tobias is kissing me. Tobias is kissing me !

He pulls away," sorry I just had to do that, I've been wanting to do it for so long. I just couldn't help myself. It was selfish of me and I'm sorry."

Tobias ever the abnegation," well I've been hoping and waiting that that would happen for the longest time, and now that we're going to be dauntless we don't have to worry about being selfless anymore."

"Well that's a relief because it would've been pretty awkward if you didn't feel that way." He chuckles.

" how could I not feel that way, you're a total catch. You should see the way the girls look at you." I say.

" speak for yourself, have you seen the way the boys watch you? To be honest it makes me nervous."

I am truly speechless, could have really been that oblivious. I must've because I hung out around Toby practically everyday and I never realized his feelings for me until he told me.

"Well you don't need to be nervous because I lonely have eyes for you."

"Good because I don't know what I'd do without you."

"Tobias I have to get home soon because I don't feel like getting reprimanded by my family about how selfish I am for spending time by myself."

"Okay, I'll walk you home," he smiles, "And if it's any consolation I think your just the right amount of selfless." He says kissing my temple.

I blush at his compliment and link my hand in his. When we get to my house, I release my hand so my parents won't be suspicious.

" Bea, what are you doing tonight ?"

" Sleeping, why?" I ask.

" I have a surprise for you, think of it as my first gift to my girlfriend."

"Did you just call me your girlfriend?"

" um, yeah is that okay, I won't call you that if you're not ready."

I smile at his concern and new title for us, "No don't stop, don't ever stop calling me that I love it."

"Okay good because I don't want to stop, just make sure you're ready at 12, I'll be at your window."

"Ok Romeo, I'll see you then", I say over my shoulder as I walk away.

Tobias POV

I lead Beatrice down the street to my own secret place where I train to become dauntless.

I found an old empty warehouse one day while I was out feeding the factionless, and I knew it would perfectly serve my cause.

"Toby how much longer til we get there?"asks Bea impatiently.

She always was impatient when she got excited, but I found that endearing.

When we reach the warehouse I take off her blindfold. Bea eyes fill with a look of amazement and wonder as she looks around at the targets, knives and things I've added to my collection over the past months.

"What is all this and where did you get?" She says with awe in her voice.

"Let's just say I know a couple dauntless."

"Well what are we going to do with it all?" She asks curiously

"We train."

well there's chapter 4 hope you enjoyed! Reviews welcome :)
