(A/N: Okay, I know this story is coming to a close, but instead of setting a "limit" of forty chapters, I'm just going to keep going until I think it isn't worth it anymore. This saddens me a lot because this story has been a major part of my life and a constant calming force for the entirety of seventh grade so far, but I have hope for a shorter sequel, approximately ten or so chapters. I'm still uncertain, but once this story is complete I will put all my energy into completing The Letters of Fate and The Language of Love. This chapter is dedicated to Atheleticbooknerd and Shaydie, who always review by chapters. Thank you both for your support! Also, the poll result has spoken, and it turns out it was a complete tie. I decided that rather than stressing myself over a simple decision, I would just vote in favour of which ship I personally wanted to see. I'm sorry if your ship is not included, but I want my fanfiction to be unique and different. Onto the chapter!)

Tris' POV

The Summer Trip.

Those three words were in everyone's minds and mouths from the moment the first flyers went out. I became immediately excited, I'd never been on an overnight stay before and this trip lasted two entire weeks. I immediately got a leaflet, as did almost everyone, and began raving about it. I was definitely going, as were Christina, Will, Zeke, Shauna, Marlene and Uriah. I was getting all my hopes up reading the list of things that were happening on the trip, but then my jaw dropped at the price listed at the bottom. It was actually quite low for a two-week trip, just three hundred bucks, but for my family, that was a lot to pay. I know we're minimalists, but that's changed a bit over the past months, so I think I'll be able to go. I certainly hope so, because it would be such an experience for me.

I re-read the itinerary for the fortnight. We'd be flying straight out to London, spending eight days there and then taking a short flight to the Southern coast of Spain for the remaining five days, then taking a flight home. Of course, we weren't free to do whatever we wanted to do every day, but the things we had to take part in all seemed pretty fun.

I let out a slightly agitated sigh as Christina, Will, Uriah and I stood on the overly crowded stairs up to the IT department, to which we were all getting annoyed at. We weren't allowed upstairs until the classes up there were all out, and they were taking ages. Eventually, Eric, who was a few people behind me let out a furious shout and shoved past, pushing past the people coming down. I stepped right against the bannister, if I could get any closer to it, but oh, how I wish I hadn't. Eric kept shoving his way up until he shoved between Christina and a third-year Dauntless boy, who just happened to shove Eric right into her. It was such an angry, hard push she went right over the railing. Everyone froze for a moment, and then chaos erupted.

Uriah, Will and I grabbed both her wrists and tried to pull her up, but she was too far down the metal railings we couldn't reach her. I considered telling her to just fall, but it was much father than I thought it was. If she fell, she'd probably break or fracture something. People were shoving past us, people were shouting and I'd never seen people move so quickly. I wanted to shout at them, they all moved from beneath where Christina was hanging, avoiding her, when she clearly needed help. Just as I was beginning to panic and shout at people for help, I saw Caleb come out of his Advanced Math class just below us. His face immediately paled, and at first, he took a step back, forming a quick layer around the existing crowd.

"CALEB! CALEB HELP!" I shouted because I could see her fingers were slipping. Nobody else seemed to be moving, and Christina was bracing herself for impact. I knew to call out at Caleb was a useless shout into the void, because there was no way he'd muster the courage to come and help at all, even though he likes her so much.

Her fingers were inches from the end, and then she didn't fall. Caleb had rushed forward and grabbed the bottom of her ankles. I let out a breath I didn't realise I was holding, but then sucked it back in again, as I was forced away from the stairs. Teachers from both the IT and Advanced Math rooms were trying to get everyone away from the stairs and into their classrooms to safely get Christina down, but Caleb wasn't moving. He still had a firm grip on his ankles and a calm, focussed look on his face.

"I've got you, just try to lower yourself slowly and I'll catch you!" he said it quietly, but I could see it calmed Christina a little. She slowly edged her sweaty hands along, as I stood powerless, to do nothing but watch as teachers tried to herd me off. Caleb's hands went up to her waist when he could reach, and pulled her down from the railing, lowering her onto her feet. When she did, she fell straight onto her knees, but she didn't look as scared as I imagined. She looked pretty shaken but mostly just thankful. She stood back up almost as quickly as she sunk to her knees, and grabbed Caleb into a tight hug. I grinned. Caleb hugged her back, but he looked frozen, his cheeks tinted red. The embrace didn't last long, because they were hurried along by teachers and they were too busy trying to see if Christina was okay. Once we were clear she was, we were briskly rushed into our classroom.

The entire ordeal can't have lasted more than three minutes, but there is still a trace of adrenaline in my blood. I sat down in IT between Christina and Will, but I noticed immediately that Christina didn't turn towards me to give me the latest tea spill, and instead stared straight ahead at her computer, her fingers switching it on in slow, dazed motions.

"Christina? You okay?" I laughed, waving a hand in front of her face. It took her a moment, but then she laughed, shrugged and said: "I'm fine, just a little freaked, I guess." Her Candor shone right through, and I knew she was lying the second the words left her mouth. I gave her a look, and she read it immediately.

"What?"

"Nothing, I didn't say anything," I shrugged it off. Over the next hour though, she didn't break out of her "Just a little freaked" daze. She still seemed in a trance, like something was deeply bothering her and she couldn't shake it. I had a good idea what it was, but I don't think she knew it herself. Even though she was my best friend, and we told each other every secret we had, I respected that this might be something she wanted to keep to herself, so I didn't push her on it. God, I really needed to get my nose out of other people's business!

"Guys, we need to get tickets for the summer trip," We all voiced our approval of Zeke's idea, but I noticed Tobias was dead silent beside me, not mentioning it. Now I thought about it, he hadn't mentioned the summer trip whatsoever. I nudged his shoulder with mine.

"You are getting tickets for the summer trip, aren't you?" I questioned.

"If you are, sure, but it's not really my scene," I wasn't totally surprised. Anything that involves the popular crowd was never Tobias' scene. It wasn't mine either, but I had already built up all my hopes for this trip.

"I know, but doesn't it sound fun? I mean, eight days in London and five in southern Spain? It sounds like a blast. If you don't want to, we don't have to though," I trailed off at the end, sounding lame and pathetic.

"It sounds great, but a lot of people go. Tonnes of them and supervision isn't that great, especially for Dauntless. Sometimes it gets out of hand, and I really, really, don't want to see you get into another fight with Nita," he trailed off at the end too, slowly slipping his hand into mine under the table. I smiled, my heart doing a little flip flop at his words.

"You're the sweetest, but I think she'll leave off. So, you'll do it?"

"Of course I will," I smile, but he cuts it off with a quick kiss. Normally Christina would make an awwwing sound or something, but she's still sitting in that daze. I share a look with Tobias that she needs to be let alone for a while, which he nods to, but that doesn't mean I want to follow my own advice. I want to do what she does to me and grills me for my problem until it's all out in the open, but I'm not like Christina, and I prefer to let people work things out for themselves and take their time working through things.

My problem solves itself though because as soon as we step outside the cafeteria, she grabs my wrist and pulls me into the bathroom.

"You okay?" I question, relieved she's finally going to get it out.

"No! No, I'm not okay because I have the biggest crush on your older brother!" she exclaims, and she seems so desperate and stressed about it, I almost laugh. Yet I don't, because the news that Caleb's crush on Christina is requieted is ground-breaking. Here I was, preaching about how they were too different and she was hung up on Will, when all along she's taken a fancy to my brother? "Well...say something," she says, looking down.

"I-I don't know what to say. That's great, but what about Will?" I ask, confused. Just last month she was totally into Will, and now...Caleb? That's like going from the seventh pit of hell to the Arctic circle.

"I haven't liked him for a while. I think we're better friends, even though I still think he's kind of cute...he doesn't like me, and I moved on. I thought you'd be kinda mad, really. You're not mad I'm into your brother?"

"Are you kidding? No way! He's totally into you too, and besides, you'd be a great sister-in-law!" I laugh, and she does too.

"You're a really great friend you know," she laughs.

"I know, now would you like a more formal introduction to my brother?" I joke as we walk out of the bathroom.

"No, I've met him." Okay, that is news.

"What? When?" I had no idea they even knew each other before last week.

"Oh, about two months ago I put something on my Instagram story and he replied, turns out we're both big fans of Hamilton, so we bonded over that. We talked a bit, and I didn't tell you, but we actually went for a milkshake..." she trails off, and then I freak.

"What? You went on a date with my brother and didn't tell me?!" I almost shout it, and immediately wish I hadn't because I get some strange looks from people passing.

"No, no, it wasn't a date...kinda."

"Sure. You wouldn't want another one of those not-dates, would you?" She gives me a look, and I giggle. God, my brother and best friend are going to make the best couple.

(A/N: Yes, I went with Caleb x Christina, and yes, I made them bond over Hamilton: An American Musical. Just in case you don't know, Hamilton is a hip hop musical about the founding father, Alexander Hamilton, and as crazy as it sounds, it is brilliant and I'd sell my soul to Satan for tickets. Unfortunately, the only tickets left for the West End London show are £100 or more each...but it is worth every penny. If you get time, listen to the Original Broadway Cast Recording.
