| TRIS POV |
I woke up alone for the first time in the past month. I normally wake up next Tobias after a long night. But I guess it would be a little suspicious is Tobias suddenly moves out after I leave.
I drag myself out of bed and put on some appropriate clothes. I put my hand to go and grab my cleavage-bearing pink shirt, push up bra and my fur coat. But I stop myself. I start thinking about what the guys said. "You and I both know you live off the social ladder" "I miss my sister, my real sister" "You walk around like you're better than everyone"
In high school, I was disgusting. I was nerd. I had glasses, braces and acne. I didn't care about how I looked. I didn't care about my reputation. I had no friends unlike Uriah and Zeke.
Instead I grab my jeggings and a black, long-sleeved, flowy top. I matched it with a caramel scarf and cream combat boots. I'm going job hunting today. I jump into my Porsche and head down to the local market area. I see people staring at me in my car. Although my apartment is only a five-minute drive from where Zeke and Uriah's house, it is in a completely different neighbourhood. I wouldn't say ghetto but more like suburban valley full of lower middle class residents. Daddy said that if I get a job by next week, and the last day which is today, he'll pay for my new and last car – that is paid by him of course.
I get out of the car, alert that everyone is staring at me. I hurriedly walked to the coffee shop. On the way I get whistled by some creepy ass dude who is about 40. I shoot him a look before walking in.
"Um hello, I was wondering if you were hiring?" I ask this blonde hair man at the cashier. He's got like a surfer vibe to him.
"For a girl looking like you, who's also got a Porsche, you've got it babe," he says
"Ugh," I say with a disgusted face.
I spot a small girl, who's even shorter then me, hop out from the back.
"Fernando get your ass back there before I fire you," this girl says aggressively.
"Jeez, chill Cara, I just wanted to check out the huunaaayss," Fernando says before heading back
"I am very sorry about him, call me Cara, I overheard that you wanted a job here?," she says
"Yeah, I was wondering if you were hiring?"
"The only positions we have open is the barista, do you have any experience?" Cara asks
"Not really, but I do have an expensive expresso machine at home," I say
"What one?"
"I think it's the Rancilio Classe 10," Cara's eyes widen.
"Oh, if you can use that, I'm sure you can use the machine we have easily," Cara says, "We actually haven't opened yet, so do you mind trying out the machine now?"
"Uh, yeah sure," I say
I pull, push and grind everything right before making a pretty nice Cappuccino, if I do say so myself. Cara tastes it and smiles.
"I'll most likely give you a call by at least tomorrow morning, could I get your number,"
I give Cara my number before walking out and applying to the bakery down the strip.
Once I finish applying for the bakery, café and restaurant. I drive around more to the local shopping centre and apply for two retail stores.
I get a text from Four.
Hey Babe, want to meet up in an hour or so? I haven't seen you all day.
I reply
You want to meet up now? I'm bored and I just finished job hunting and I want a break
It takes a few second for him to reply.
Well, I'm teaching a boxing glass at the Dauntless gym in about ten. If you really want, we could meet there.
I reply
Yeah, I want to see you teach, I might head up in gym gear to see if I can do something too.
Tobias replies
Okay, I'll meet you there
I head home and get changed into some gym gear before driving and finding Dauntless. I get out and I am surprised. The gym looks newly renovated and seems quite modern. Its solid black with windows scatter prettily around. Above the large entrance, hangs a sign saying Dauntless, with a flame symbol; the same one of Tobias's back. I head in.
"Hello, how may I help you," this really familiar guy asks
But it happens to be that this 'familiar guy' is shamelessly checking me out.
"Uh, could I just get like a day pass for today," I say pulling up my shirt trying to cover everything.
"Yeah sure that would be-,"
"Tanner, that's my girlfriend, what are you doing?" I hear Tobias's familiar voice.
AHHHH Tanner is on Tobias's football team, he's the freshie that sucks up to him.
"Oh sorry, boss,"
I walk in with Tobias.
"Boss?" I ask
"My mum owns the gym, so I technically own it but I let Amar, the manager, boss everyone around," Tobias says "Amar was my instructor during my…agent days and he was the one that taught me self-defence when I was 12,"
I place a small kiss on Tobias's lips.
"Go and start your class instructor," I urge "I'll find something to entertain me,"
"Like what?" he asks
"Hmm, maybe look at your sexy ass instruct and box," I say
"Don't start anything Prior, I have to go and teach in public now," he says
"Oh sorry baby," I say before grabbing a handful of his ass.
I hear him chuckle and run off to his class. I walk over to the stretching zone and overhear some people.
"Amar, it says the yoga class is on, I paid today and the instructor didn't turn up, I mean this is the fifth time," A lady says
"Yeah and I'm starting to feel like this place isn't the best anymore," different lady says
"I assure you this is the best gym you'll encounter on this side of the United States," this Amar guys says "The instructor has not been turning up for invalid reasons, I assure you I will fire her today,"
"Okay, but what will do for the time being," another different lady says
"The boxing class just started, Four is instructing," The caused a few murmurs and squeals and most of the younger women, around my age, ran off
"His hotness isn't worth how hard and tiring that bloody lesson is, I mean I came to do yoga, not visit hell," A lady mentions.
"Here, how about I give you all a free-day pass," Amar pleads.
"I could teach the class,"
Wait, who said that. I quickly realise I said it and most of the people wanting to attend the class look at me.
"And who are you?" Amar asks
"Um, I'm qualified to do teach it, I did do a course on fitness education at Chicago University for three years," Two of those years I was in high school, being a nerd and doing online university courses. But I don't mention that
"Uh, okay, ladies this is," Amar says
"Tris," I respond
"And she'll be teaching you today,"
This causes a few murmurs across the moderate sized mass of humans.
"Here follow me," Amar says.
We enter into a wood floor room with an elevated area I guess is for the instructor. There are stereo's placed throughout the room. Some people grab the free yoga mats the gym provides, including me.
"I'll play the CD for now, talk to me after the class," Amar says
I put in the CD and start the class.
Thirty minutes later I finish.
"Sorry guys, it was quite short since there was a bit of a hassle at the start," I say calmly. "Let's all slowly sit back up taking our time and pack up,"
A small applause starts.
"Thank you Tris," This lady 'Jenna' says "The other instructor was horrible compared to you, you really set my mind on places in my body I never thought of, I really felt relaxed and in a different world,"
Jenna seems to be like the leader type person in the class. People follow what she does. She's not a snobby, bitch top dog but more of a friendly and kind top dog.
"All good," I say "To be honest, it's been a while since I instructed anyone, so I am rusty,"
"Ooo, hottie nine o-clock," Jenna whoops.
I look and see Tobias, approaching us. Behind him I see are a bunch of people who looks like just run fifty kilometres while carrying a boulder. Tobias seems happy and no sweat visible.
"Hey," I say before placing kiss on his cheek "How was class,"
"Great! Hello Jenna, how is your husband doing?" Tobias asks sweetly
So Tobias is fond of Jenna
"He's getting better by each day, are you and the majestical Miss Tris dating?" Jenna asks with a huge smile plastered on her face.
"We sure are, how do you even know this 'majestical' Tris?" Tobias asks Jenna
"Bloody Kate has skipped class five times so Amar is firing her, luckily Tris swooped in to save the day and she did a quick class," Jenna enthuses "It was the best class I've ever been in my 47 years alive,"
"Oh stop it, I'm not event that good," I say
"Well my girlfriend is talented like that," Tobias teases "You better not steal her away from me,"
"Like I could," Jenna laughs "I'll leave you two alone, I hope to see you soon Tris,"
"Ahhhh Tris," I hear Amar from behind me.
Tobias and I turn around.
"Oh hi Four how are you doing?" Amar asks
"Good, good, you?" Tobias responds
"Bloody Kate, she tells me she'll turn up but she doesn't and then says something like, oh I forgot sorry, after the lesson," Amar says "Which brings Tris into the picture, I wanted to offer you Kate's position, she does one aerobics' class and one yoga class on Saturday and does personal training sessions with two people every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, obliviously I have to trial you and you need to fill in some papers and I need to see them and stuff but I just wanted your opinion,"
"That-that would be fantastic, I was looking for a job," I say
"Well the aerobics' class is now, so I'll trial you right now," Amar says
I look up to Tobias, "I know you wanted to hang out but could I quickly do this?" I ask
"Sure baby," He replies kissing me quickly "I'll hang out at the ring,"
"I left my bag in the car, could you grab it so I can fill in the papers after the class," I ask him tossing me her keys.
"Sure,"

I see Tris run off.
"Quite the girlfriend I see you got there," Amar says "It's been a long time since you have one,"
"Yeah,"
"You love her don't you, I can see the way you look at her,"
I start to blush. "Yeah," I whisper "I guess you want what you can't have,"
"What?"
"She's Zeke and Uriah's sister,"
"Really, how are those two idiots related to her!" Amar exclaims
"I have no idea,"
"Well, I'll head off and check on Tris, have a good day Four," Amar says before walking away.
I walk past Tris's class on my way to have a quick shower. I see her jumping up and doing high kicks and shouting for the other to keep doing it. Once I finish showering I walk down to the car park and find Tris's car. I grab her bag and her phone starts ringing. It's Zeke.
Hey man, it's Four
Oh, why did you pick up Tris's phone
She left in her car
Why is she with you?
I ran into her at the gym
So than why are you getting her phone from her car
Uh- because she left it in here
Why could she just get it by herself!
Dude why are you so stressed
Because she's spending more fucking time with you than both of you are spending time with Uriah and I, what is going on Four?
Dude chill the fuck down, I just ran into her at the gym. It's the first time I've seen her in like a week
Utter bullshit, I think, I saw her yesterday.
Tell her about the party we're having tomorrow, bye
Jesus that was aggressive. Zeke's been acting weird lately. He's been so aggressive and always interrogates me. I walk back up and spot Tris smiling like a Cheshire cat and talking to Amar. She spots me and runs to me.
"I got the job," she exclaims jumping up and down. She pulls me in her a kiss. "Thank you,"
"For what?" I ask
"For getting the job for me,"
"I didn't do anything, it was all you,"
