Tobias POV

Knowing that Lynn always picks Dauntless and its unlikely that she backs out, I think of one that she might hate me for. "So it's my turn. Lynn, Dauntless or Candor?"

"Dauntless, duh."

"I dare you to go to Eric's apartment and when he opens the door, push yourself inside. Then turn around and make out with him." Before I'm interrupted I continue. " and if he isn't there go onto the apartment, pick the lock if you have to, steal something of his that you think he may value." We are all surprised when Lynn takes of her shirt leaving her in just her tank top.

"What? I an't risking the chance of having to make out with Eric. I hate him. And all his piercings."

"For as long as I've known you this is the first dare you have ever backed out of." Marlene says gaping.

"What ever." Lynn says dismissing Marlene's comment."Cristina, Dauntless or Candor?"

"Candor."

"Okay. What is your least favorite object in the world?"

"Really. Um okay. A clock."

"Why do you hate clocks!" Marlene says.

"I don't like them because they tell time. Like if your having a lot of fun you look at a clock and its like time moved faster on propose. Or when your having a really shitty time, you look at a clock and it seems that time is dragging on making you miserable."

"Wow, that's deep." Zeke says.

After that I pretty much zone out. Not really caring to listen. Thankfully no one does any dares that means we have to leave the apartment. After everyone is done I go back to my apartment. I see that our game lasted close to two hour and I have been in my apartment for about an hour. I can't believe that in one month new initiates arrive and the day they arrive symbolizes Tris's second year being gone. I wish she were here to help me.

Tris POV

(Three hours previous.)

I had asked Caleb to unstrap me from the table and he did though he looked reluctant. I was left to my thoughts for about half an hour before Uriah showed up.

"Hey how are you feeling?" He asked as soon as he saw me up.

"I'm as fine as anybody would be being practically dead for a year. You?" I ask him.

"Oh about the same." I laugh and realize that it feels good.

"So what do you think their doing right now?" I ask him my smile faded back to seriousness.

"Oh, probably playing Dauntless and Candor and morning over the fact that I'm not there to yell pansycake at anyone who deserves it." When he finishes, I can't say that I'm surprised that my smile and laugh worked its way out of me. Uriah was always the one to cheer everyone one up without fail. Either that or he'd annoy the crap out of people.

"Yea, I'm sure. Do you know when we will be able to go back into the city?" I ask him.

"Caleb said that you will be able to leave in a month. So that way you can build your strength again and everything." He says serious now. " I have been training for the past two weeks. So I'd be able to leave earlier, but I'm not doing that. I'm staying here to help you."

"Thank you. That means a lot to me." I say. It really does mean a lot to me, to know that a friend will be there to help me along the way. I can't wait to get back to the city. To see everyone again. To see Tobias again. I wonder if he's moved on from me. Found another girl. Lost hope.

"Tris?"

"What? Oh, sorry. I was just lost in thought. Did you say something?"

"Do you want to go get something to eat?"

"Of course you would say that Uriah."I say, emphasizing you.

"What! It's been like a year since you've tasted food!" He argues

"And it's been like, what? A couple of hours since you've tasted food." I retort playfully.

"Well duh. Dinner was a couple of hours ago. By the way, how long have you been up?"

"I don't really know. I think about since like a little before lunch."

"AND YOU HAVEN'T EATEN YET? You are coming with me to get food. Geez woman. How long can you last without food?" He says with a fake surprised tone as he drags me out the door.

"Well the typical human can last two weeks without food, but only two days without water. Luckily I haven't I haven't gone two days without water or I'd be dead."

"Yea, yea, yea. Miss Erudite."

"Don't call me Erudite." I tell him in a sudden cold tone as I abruptly stop, and it must have scared him because he looked startled.

"Sorry. I didn't mean it to be offensive."

"No. Sorry Uriah I was being stupid. I did get an aptitude test result that was Erudite."

"Don't be sorry. You have every right to hate them. And I understand that. Well I don't understand but- Well you get the point- they killed your family and took away everything from us. I mean your own brother practically walked you to your execution." He says, hurt and sympathy laced in his voice.

"I don't want to talk about this right know. As I remember we were going to get food." He sees the pleading in my eyes and we keep walking. When we get to the cafeteria, I get the only thing left- a hamburger. As I put ketchup on my hamburger, I remember the first time I got one. And the first time I talked to Tobias. Well he was Four then, but it still reminds me of him. I so long to see him. I crave for the slightest physical contact with him. I wonder how he is and how he's been handling things.
