I walk into the cafeteria and it's pretty crowded. I glance at my cell and see that it's pretty close to 10. I scrunch up my nose and make my way to the table. Tobias sees me and rushes to me, giving me a tight hug. I'm surprised, but I hug him back.

He pulls back, concern clouding his ocean blue eyes. "Are you okay?"

I nod. "Yeah, I'm fine. It was just a couple of bad dreams."

He's not buying it, I can tell. He chews the inside of his cheek as we walk to the table. I sit next to Shauna, who I notice, like Christina, has bags under her eyes. I give her an awkward side hug. "Thank you," I murmur to her. She groggily nods and rests her head on Zeke's shoulder.

"Shauna," Tobias starts in a harsh tone.

"I know, Four. I should've gotten you, but Chris and I had it under control. She was fine," Shauna growls. They must've been having this argument for a while now. Tobias opens his mouth to retort, but I grab his hand and shake my head. He gives a frustrated sigh but doesn't say anything.

"Shauna?" I ask. She opens her eyes.

"Yes, Tris?"

"Thank you for everything last night."

She gives me a small smile. "It wasn't a problem. I have two younger siblings – Lynn and Hector – and I always had to babysit them when our mom was working. Lynn actually used to go here, but she got her GED and is taking courses at the JC. Hec is still in middle school," she says, speaking in a fond and protective tone. I smile.

"I have another question for you," I state.

"Go for it."

"What song were you humming to me? I thought I recognized it, but I couldn't quite place my finger on it…"

"Oh. It was Warriors by Imagine Dragons." (AN: *coughs* Insurgent soundtrack *coughs*)

"Ah. Thank you," I say. She smiles and shuts her eyes again.

I get up and walk over to the breakfast line. I'm not really hungry, so I only grab some toast and an apple. I turn to return to my table, but someone's blocking my path.

"Hey there, cutie," a nasally voice says. I try not to cringe and look up. It's one of the boys in my P.E. class, but I can't place his name. He has long, greasy hair and a couple of piercings. Tobias said that this boy was his version of Peter… still, the name escapes me.

"Excuse me," I say, trying to step around him, but he shifts his weight so he's still in my way.

"Where you going? You and I should hang out later," he says, stepping closer to me. I try to take a step back, but someone trips me – accidentally or on purpose, I don't know – and I fall backwards and land on my back, dropping my food.

"Eric!" someone hollers. I wince. Don't do anything stupid, Tobias. He walks over to me as I get up, brushing the crumbs off of my clothes. "Are you okay?" Tobias asks me. I nod and he faces Eric. I'm standing behind him, and I notice how tense he is. "What," he starts, "the hell were you doing with my girl?" He's growling. I can't help but smile a little. I like it when he calls me his girl.

The other boy, Eric, rolls his eyes. "Yo, baby, why don't you ditch this loser and come hang out with a real man?" he asks me. I don't even hide my disgust.

"Why would any girl want to be with you? And haven't you ever heard of a shower, greaser?" I shoot back sarcastically. I hear someone yell "Burn!" but I can't place from where; it seems that the entire cafeteria is in a huge circle around the three of us.

Eric doesn't seem to like my comment too much because he lunges at me, or tries to at least. Tobias steps in Eric's projectile and pushes me back gently into the crowd. Uriah catches me before I can fall and places his hands on my shoulders. Even when I'm steady, he doesn't let go of me. That's when I realize that I'm trying to get in their fight. I notice Zeke on the opposite side of the circle, holding his phone. I glance around and see Marlene and Will doing the same thing, all from different angles.

"Uri, let me go," I hiss.

"No. He's going to be fine," is all he says.

I look back at the center and see Eric and Tobias circling each other. I'm not much of a fighter, but I can tell that Tobias is on the defense and Eric's on the offense. Eric throws a couple of punches but Tobias dodges them with extreme ease. I'm kind of scared that he's going to get hurt – Eric seems rather ruthless – but I shake my head. I've fought Tobias before; he's practically unbeatable.

Eric lunges at Tobias again, this time grabbing his middle, but Tobias uses Eric's momentum to turn. Eric isn't expecting this, and he loses his grip, sliding to the feet of the crowd. Eric gets up and he is pissed. He charges at Tobias, throwing punch after punch, but Tobias is doing well blocking them. He makes contact a couple of times, but they don't have any effect.

Then, another boy – one of Eric's friends, I assume – enters the "arena". Tobias has his back to this other boy and doesn't notice. Luckily, Zeke notices when the other boy started moving, hands his phone to the girl next to him – I think her name is Lauren – and rushes into the circle, right as I yell out, "Four! Behind you!" Tobias barely glances over his shoulder because he sees Zeke and knows that his best friend has his six.

Unfortunately, Zeke's not as good as a fighter as Tobias is and gets nailed in the jaw. Uriah scoffs. "That's the best you can do, bro? What a pansycake!" I look at him incredulously. "What?" he asks. "It's motivation." He shrugs.

I turn back to the fights. Zeke's dodging the punches a little better, but is just distracting Eric's friend as Eric and Tobias still circle. I see Eric's lips moving, and, although I can't hear what's being said, I think he's taunting Tobias, for he looks angrier and angrier with every second. Eric throws another punch, but Tobias ducks. Eric miscalculated the strength he needed and stumbles a little. Tobias follows and kicks his legs out from under him. Eric lands on his stomach on the cafeteria floor. Tobias places his knee in between Eric's shoulder blades and puts one hand on his head. Eric struggles to get up, but with each move, Tobias pushes his head into the floor a little harder.

I look at Zeke and see that he has somehow pinned the other boy.

In that moment, I hear someone saying, "Get out of the way, move it!" It sounds like Shauna.

Sure enough, Shauna makes her way through the crowd with someone behind her.

Ms. Reyes, the dean of discipline.

"My," she says, taking in the two boys on the floor and the two boys on top of them. "What do we have here?"

Hey everyone. Sorry I didn't update yesterday, but I was exhausted. I've been really tired lately, and I don't understand why. I don't really have anything to say other than thank you for reading the story and feel free to leave me reviews in order to let me know how I'm doing. I hope all of you are well :D
