An: sorry for the wait, I've just been so busy with finals, softball, and moving! I just wanted to say thanks again for all the follows, favorites, and kind reviews that are keeping me motivated! They are truly appreciated! So withouth further ado here is chapter 7!

Disclaimer: I am not Veronica Roth and do not own any of her amazing characters.

Tobias POV

I am filled with anticipation as I stand by the net. Today is Bea's choosing day, after two long years I'll finally be able to see her beatiful face. I won't be alone in Dauntless anymore. I mean I do have friends, ironically my best friend is Zeke, the kid who gave me supplies that helped me get into Dauntless in the first place. He is the only one I have truly confided in, he even knows about Bea. It took me awhile to be able to trust somebody like I trusted Bea, but I realized I couldn't be alone waiting for her so that's when I built me friendship up with Zeke.

Lauren, a girl who was in my intiation class and always tries to flirt with, smacks my shoulder. "Stop day dreaming Four, the intiates are about to jump!"

I clear my throat and look up nervously. Even looking up, the height factor of the jump still scares me to the point where I can't breathe.

"Four? Four?"

"What?!"

"I asked you who do you think will be the first to jump?"

If I know anything about Bea, it's that she'll want to prove herself to the other intiates, but mostly herself, so therefore, she'll be the first to jump.

"I'm gonna take a chance here, and go with Abnegation."

Lauren scoffs," Ahahahah okay Four, I doubt we'll even have an abnegation transfers, and if we happen to have one, they sure as heck won't be jumping first."

I shake my head at Lauren's ignorance, just like everyone else Lauren underestimates Abnegation, but I definately proved her wrong when I came in first at intiation. I expect Bea to do the same. "Well just have to wait and see I guess." I say bruptly ending the conversation.

I hear Eric's voice snap at someone, seconds later I saw a flash of grey and blonde hair. The girl is sitting in the net laughing, probably from shock. I reach my hand to pull her out of the net, and as soon as I touch her frail little hand, I know that it is her. It's my Bea.

She looks up and I see recognition flash through her fiery eyes. I know she knows it is me. I know she knew from the first touch.

I try to keep the excitement off my face as I force myself to go into instructor Four mode.

"What's your name?"

"Ummm"

"Think carefully you don't get to pick again" I say with a smirk

"Tris", she says in her strong firm voice

Lauren calls over to me, "Four, make the announcement!"

Tris shoots me a look presumably about my the unique nickname. I give her a look that says I'll explain later. She gives an imperceptible nod of understanding.

"First jumper Tris!" Pride ringing in my voice, even though I tried hard not to let it show. What can I say I have a pretty kick butt girlfriend.

...

After all the intiate have jumped, I do my typical introductions, I have some trouble with a candor that seems to be Tris's friend, but I suspect I won't be having any more problems with her. Let's just say I put her in her place.

As I walk around the cafeteria, I see a spot open next to Tris and her candor friend, Christina. I figure that it's my best bet to sit with them, so I quickly stride over and sit down I the open spot next to Tris.

I see Christina look in surprise, I couldn't tell if it was because of my prescence or Tris's reaction to the hamburger on her player. I'll just presume it is both.

As I was I the middle of conversation with the two girls, mostly Tris, the person I hate most strides arrogantly into the room. I silently pray that he isn't coming to my table, but of course he comes to stand right next me.

I address him first,"Eric"

His voice is pompous and cocky,"Hello Four, aren't you going to introduce me to these two Beautiful young intiates."

Christina and Tris both shoot me looks of helplessness. I know Eric is disgusting and an idiot, but he is a leader and you don't want to get on his bad side.

"This is Christina and this is Tris." I say keeping all enthusiasm out of my voice

His lustful eyes gaze over my Bea, a little bit longer than I like, and I almost punch him, but decide it would give away to much. I don't want to cause any problems for Bea because of my temper.

I clear my throat,"Well if that's all you need then you should best be going."

"Oh I almost forgot to tell you, Max wants a meeting with you. I mean I told him you weren't interested, but he insisted."

Of course you did Eric wouldn't want anyone stealing you're position. "Okay, well you can just reiterate to him that I'm uninterested.

He smirks,"No problem, I'm on my way to tell him right now!" Oh of course you are. He gives me a pat on the back, which is a little too hard too be considered friendly. He turns to leave but not before he whispers in my ear, "You better scoop up that pretty little stiff over there before I ravage her for myself. Just thought I'd let you know my intentions because I know how near and dear to your heart abnegation is, and by the looks of it that girl sittining next to you."

With that he walks away laughing, and leaving me seeing red. I hear Tris speak up,"Four what did he say to you?"

I glare at her not wanting to reveal his dirty thoughts to her," I thought I would only have problems with Candor, now I have a curious Stiff on my hands as well."

She shoots back with her typical fiery verve," it must be because you're so approachable, like a bed of nails."

I smirk and give her one simple warning because knowing Bea her bravery can cloud her judgement sometimes and get her into trouble, "Careful Tris."

Zeke calls my name, which gives me an excuse to escape this awkward situation. I get up and as I walk by tris I slip a note with my apartment number on it. I linger my fingers on hers for a second before I briskly walk away.

...

I sit in my apartment waiting for Bea hoping she'll come. I pray that she's not too mad at me for my sharp words at lunch. I just want to keep her safe because I couldn't handle losing her.

As I'm walking out of my room I see Tris, before I can even take a step, she bolts over to me and jumps into my arms. She kisses me passionately and hard, and I respond with equal force.

I pull away and mumble into her lips,"I love you Beatrice Prior."

She nuzzles her head into my neck," I love you too Tobias Eaton."

I smile. I guess she isn't mad at me then.
