A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated in a while. The last few days have just been hectic. I'll post Chapter 11 after this, but Chapter 12 has been taking me a really long time. Enjoy the Chapter!


*TRIS' POV*

"Tobias," I say, my voice small. I don't know why. "Did you tell him to say that?" He doesn't respond. I shove him. "You did, didn't you?"

"No. Tris. Calm down," he says, putting his hands on my shoulders to steady my shaking. "Tris, I couldn't. I wouldn't! Plus, your bother is Erudite. Besides being smart, he's also stubborn."

Christina chimes in. "Tris, he loves you. Why can't you just see that?"

"I was going to leave Dauntless and become Factionless," Tobias says before I can speak. He sounds choked up. "But then you came, Tris. I stayed because of you!"

"Really?" I ask shocked. Why me? Is it because we're both from Abnegation? "You really stayed...b-because of me?"

"Yes, Tris," he says a tear forming in the corner of his eye. He quickly wipes it away. "I-I love you." I hug him. Hard.

"Aww!" Christina squeals. "You guys are so cute!"

"Oh, shut it, Christina," I say blushing. I turn back to Tobias. "You have to promise me something."

"Anything," he replies.

"You can get mad at me if I hug Al, Uriah, or anyone else. Promise?"

"I promise," he says, pressing his lips to mine.

"Um...no need to rain on this big Love Parade thing happening right now," Christina says, sounding uncomfortable, "but we should either go visit Caleb, or go home."

"Let's go visit Caleb," I say. "I have to tell him something."


Tobias was already wearing blue, so all he had to do was ask Christina for a pair of glasses.

"Here it is!" Christina says excitedly. I don't know why she's so excited. I'm the one seeing my brother for the first time in about a year.

I walk in first to see rows of computer desks. They're all empty except for one in the left corner.

"Beatrice!" he beams getting up. He opens his arms for a hug.

"Caleb!" I cry, running into his arms. I almost knock him down. We both laugh. "I'm sorry!"

He laughs. "It's okay, Beatrice! I've missed you so much! You look so different!" He steps back to look at me.

"As do you," I say, feeling like an Erudite. I don't know why. It just sounds smart.

"Aren't you going to introduce me to your friends?" he asks, gesturing toward Christina and Tobias. "Well I kind of already know Tobias."

"OH! Sorry," I say. "This is my best friend, Christina." Caleb stretches out his hand to Christina.

"Nice to meet you, Christina," Caleb says, looking uncomfortable, but sounding confident.

"Nice to meet you, too, Caleb," she says back, smiling.

There is something in Caleb's eyes. Something I've only seen when he looks at Susan. Christina looks at him the same way.

"Hey, Caleb, can I speak to you. In private," I say.

"Um...sure," he says.


"You have a crush on Christina," I say when we get to his apartment down the hall.

"W-what?" he stutters. He rubs the back of his neck nervously. "N-no I don't."

"Caleb, I've lived with you for about sixteen years," I say smirking. "I pretty much can tell when you're lying."

"Fine," he says, his shoulders relax. "Do you think we'll ever have a chance together?"

"To be honest, I don't know," I'm still smirking. "But, it looked like she liked you."

"Really?"

I nod. I'm kinda happy for him.

"Let's go back now," he says, "or they're going to know something's up."

*CHRISTINA'S POV*

"Well, what am I supposed—" I stop when Tris and Caleb walk into the room.

"What were you guys talking about?" Tris asks when she gets to where we're standing.

I go up to her and whisper in her ear. "Do you think Caleb likes me?"

"Yes," she whispers back. "Do you like him?"

"Kind of," I admit. "B-but what about Will."

"You mean Will, the guy who I found kissing Molly?" she says crossing her arms and raising her eyebrows.

"He what?" I almost-scream. There goes the whispering. "Why didn't you tell me?"

I don't even let her answer. I just walk up to Caleb, and kiss him hard on the lips. He kisses back.

"Uh...we're gonna leave you two alone," Tobias backing out the door.

"We'll be in your apartment Caleb," Tris calls. She adds, "Don't worry, I know how to pick locks!"


A/N: Should I continue the whole CalebxChristina? The next chapter explains it, but Chapter 12 just explains what happens. CalebxChristina or WillxChristina?
