In case someone is confused, "the park" and "outside the border" are the same place.

A knock on the door.

I opened it to reveal Bianca, who looked furious.

"The nerve of them!" She growled.

"What happened?" Chris and I asked in unison. Chris shot up from her bed... was it my imagination, or did Chris make a small wink to Bianca, and did Bianca wink back?

"They're making fun of Tris and I on Tumblr!" She groaned and showed us a comment by Sara-Drew... "Tris laughs like a hippo and Bianca is fat."

"Well that's mean." I grumbled. "But, Bi (Bee), don't listen to what they say. They're just mean people who don't have anything better to do than insult others."

Bi shrugged and nodded. "Okay." She sighed. "Can we be friends? I have, like, no friends in this school."

"Okay... but first, what were you doing on Tumblr?" I questioned, curious. "Earlier, during lunch."

She chuckled. "Defending you on Tumblr. You seemed nice."

Chris excused herself to go to the bathroom. Bi leaned in closer to me. "Look, Tris. I really want to be friends - but Tobias is mine. Got it?"

I looked at her and escorted her to the door. "No, Bi." I said through gritted teeth. "Tobias is no ones. He chooses his girl." And right before I closed the door behind her... "And he chose me."

The next day, we got our report cards for the month. I turned to Tobias, who I shared a desk with.

"A in math, AA in chemistry, B in English - which was expected with Eric - But all A's and AA's in everything else!" I squealed. "What about you, Tobias?"

"All A's." He replied. "Except for in Language Arts and History, which were both 95 out of 110."

At lunch, we compared our report cards. Most of us had all A's. Bianca got a 63 out of 110 in Self-Defense, a class everyone else got A's in. But everyone made good light of it.

Then Tobias excused himself to go to the bathroom, and Peter came.

He sat in Tobias's seat, right next to mine, and I thought he was Tobias at first. Nobody else noticed.

I turned to Peter. "Tobias..." I started.

Then lips crashed onto mine. Peter picked me up, lips still intact, and carried me away. I caught the dark green eyes of Peter, and mentally cursed myself. "Peter!" I tried to scream, but he carried me to the park and pushed me away. I then received the worst beating I had ever gotten from Peter, Molly, Drew, and others I didn't even know.

"I got all AA's." Peter taunted me.

And that's when he hit me.

And the gorilla came.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~T~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~R~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~S~~~~~~~~~~~

Actually, it wasn't a gorilla.

It was Tobias.

But the way he was furious and bowled over everything, he might as well have been King Kong.

After everyone was properly disposed of (run away or unconscious) he looked at me, some of his fury dying.

"When I came back, Bianca said you had walked away kissing Peter!" He growled.

"No, Peter kissed me and carried me here!" I retorted a bit angrily.

He looked at me sadly. "I'm sorry I wasn't here in time."

"I honestly wouldn't have anyone else save me." I said before I thought, then bit my lip as I saw the teasing smile come on Tobias's face.

"You like me." He said. "You do."

I blushed and looked down. "Yeah, I kind of do."

He looked triumphant. "I like you too. Will you?"

I nodded, and then winced because of the bruise on my neck. "Of course. Can I get some ice?"

He took my hand in his and we walked back to the cafeteria. "Yeah. Lets go."

I smiled. "Together."
