ME NO OWN DIVERGENT! WAAAAAGH!
Chapter 25
Tris' PoV
It's scoring day. As of now it looks like Lowell will be first – Bummer – And Virginia will be last – Great!
Today everyone is here by 7:50. Good.
"Initiates!" Four yells. Everyone looks at him. "You have time to practice until lunch. After that we will take the scores." He tells them. "So, what're you waiting for? Get going!" I tell them. They all grab knives and start throwing. I walk over to help everyone. When I get to Rachel I see that there's a tear rolling down her cheek. I walk over to James and bring him to Rachel. "Rachel!" I call her. She looks over. "Why are you crying?" James whispers to her, making sure no-one notices but me and Rachel. "I suck at this! I suck at everything! I'll probably be last and get factionless!" she says. "Now now, don't be so sad. I'll help you." I say to her. James is hugging Rachel. I give her a lot of instructions and soon she manages to hit around the centre each time. She starts smiling again. And I walk away. "Hey, Six!" it's Virginia. "What?" "Why does she get so much help and I don't?" "Because she, unlike you, is a very kind person." She looks shocked. I smirk and walk away. She comes after me. Meanwhile, everyone is watching us. Before she can say anything, I stand still and raise my hand without looking at her, halting her from walking further, or speaking. "Everyone, go back to your throwing. You will need a lot of practice. Especially you, Virginia." I say as I turn around. She's right in my face, so no one starts throwing yet. Four is sitting in a dark corner, throwing a knife up, and let it make a flip, before he catches it. "Virginia, go back to your spot. You don't want me angry. The incident at lunch was me irritated. You don't want to meet me when I'm pissed."
Yasmin's PoV
I grin. Just like me.

Virginia isn't moving. "Aren't you going to go back to your spot?" I keep my calm. "Aren't you going to apologize?" She replies. By now, Four has topped flipping the knife and is watching us as well. "Why should I apologize? And what for, exactly?" I answer, still keeping my calm. I wonder how I do it. "You should apologize for that you made me look like a fool in front of almost the entire Dauntless faction!" I smile. "That was called for. I don't need to apologize for that." "Oh yes you do." "What are you going to do? Fight me? I've beaten Eric. Have a contest of knife throwing or shooting? I can do that blindfolded and still hit the bullseye. How are you going to make me?" "I'm going to steal your boyfriend." "Oh yes? Who exactly is my boyfriend, then?" "Four." Nobody buys it. except Shine and Yasmin, but they don't show it. good. "Do you have proof?" I say, still calm. "You stood up for him at lunch." "Yes, because friends never do that." "What will you do if I try to persuade him?" "Ab-so-lute-ly nothing." I reply, knowing that Four would reject anyway. "And what if I kiss him?" "Try it. Go to the infirmary. I don't care." I say, still calm. How do I do this? "You are really starting to piss me off, woman!" I hear a couple of ooo's. "I already said, you cannot beat me in a fight. I can demonstrate that." I smile. "Hey Four! Get Zeke, Will, Lynn, Marlene, and Uri! We'll have a brawl! You all against me! Marlene as announcer!" He nods and walks out to get them. "As a clarification, Four is nineteen and came first in his year, Zeke is nineteen and came third in his year, Uriah is my age and came second in my year, Lynn is my age and came third in my year and first in the fights of the dauntless- borns, and Will is also my age and came third in the fights in my year." I say to Virginia. She sniffs. "I will show you that I can beat them all at once, and that should show that I can't be beaten in fights." Some initiates stare at me with open mouths. "Come over to the fighting mat. I will explain the rules." All the initiates and I walk over. I write all the names on a board. "Blue, come over here." He walks over. "You will have the task of crossing out everyone that is out of the competition. Someone is out if you guys decide that he is, or he gives up." Blue nods.
After a minute everyone is here. "Lynn, Will, Zeke, Four, Get in the ring. Marlene stand on a chair and announce it when someone's out." they all nod and I get in the ring with them. "Three, Two, One, LET THE FIGHTING COMMENCE!" Marlene yells.
