Chapter 3
I wake up feeling wide awake. Trying to move I realize that my body is restrained by Tobias' arms around my waist.I slept with him last night. Just sleeping, but still it feels safe and wonderful.
"Morning, Tris" He mumbles tiredly. Awkwardly I turn around in his arms.
"Hey, good morning to you too" I smile letting my happines show.
He pulls me closer and kisses me. The warmth of the kiss spreads through me like fire. For a second I wish I can stay in his arms like this forever, but then I remember the job I signed up for. Ambassador for the faction.
I really like the job I chose, because it means I can visit Abnegation once in a while. It's not like I really miss it or dislike Dauntless, but I think that because I'm Divergent and have an aptitude for more that one faction this will be a good job for me.
Then I remember something. Something I never really got my answer to. Is Tobias divergent? He told me a while back that he got Abnegation on his aptitude test. But then again so did I, according to the file at least. How else would he know about divergence and why would he not want to kill me?
He sees my look. And gets that I am thinking hard.
"Penny for your thoughts" he says kissing me on my cheek.
I hesitate, but then answer "Tobias...Are you...Are you divergent too?"
He sighs. Not seeming to happy that I asked. And I immediatley regret asking. "Look I wasn't going to tell you, because of the danger around it. But since you asked...Yes"
I stared at him in disbeief. Don't get me wrong, I already thought he was. I just did not think he would tell me. "What factions?" it is most a whisper.
"Abenegation and Dauntless" I grin thinking of how in my eyes he is the perfect Dauntless and still he wishes he did not transfer.
We kiss passionatly once more before I get up and leave for my own appartment. I take a shower and get ready for my first day at work.
"You need to travel back and forth between factions once a week. The other days you will work with files at the office". Patrick is the leader of the ambassadors and the one teaching me.
"The faction you go to and when is determend by when and where you are needed" He continues. I am standing quietly soaking up every word he says.
"In the weeks with new initiates you wil oversee the transferres". I'm taken by suprise by this due to the fact that there was no one doing that when I was initiate.
"New rule" He explaines quickly when he sees my face. I nod slowly and then ask "who will be doing transferres this year anyway?"
A weird laugh comes from Patrick "Oh you will like this. You know you instructor Four? The scary one?" I nod and he laughs again. "Well, him. Be careful though, he's tough".
My face is not giving anythig away, but inside i'm giddy with exitement. "I think I can handle him" I answer after a while.
"Handle who?" The voice comes from behind me. A weird feeling creeps up my spine. Then I turn around. Eric.
"Handle who" he repeats. "Four, this little stiff girl thinks she can handle Four" Anger boils up in me at his choice of words. Eric starts laughing uncontrollably. It is an awful sound, the noise is a bit like a strangled cat.
Patrick and I look at him like he has lost his mind. When he has calmed down enough to talk he says "Don't...Let...The...Stiff...Fool...You Patrick" His sentence is interupted by a loud breath at every word.
"The stiff is doing Four" he finished and continues laughing. I am aware that I am blushing and turn away. Technically what he said is not correct, but still. Patrick just looks at me gaping, with his eyes wide. I know what he thinks. He did not thinks Four was approachable, let alone by a little stiff like myself.
I give both Patrick and Eric a death glare. Eric exites the room trying to catch his beath. Patrick atands infront of me. Thinking he is going to continue about the job I direct my attention to him again. "Really, you and Four?" I sigh "Yes, now shut up" He does and starts where we left off.
When I reach the dining hall I see Uriah sitting by him self. Uriah is my best friend, along with Christina and Will ofcourse. He too has other friends like Marlene and Lynn, but he and Marlene are chrushing on each other. Hard. And Lynn, well she is Lynn.
He lights up as he sees me. we start chatting about everything. Soon we are talking about our jobs. Uriah is in trainig of becoming a Duntless leader since I declained the job. I can see in his eyes that he is really exited about his job, and I know in my heart that he will not be like Eric. Uriah could never be sadistic or cruel like so many of the other Dauntless leaders.
Some times I wonder if Dauntless would be a little less cruel if Tobias had taken the possition he was offerd. The thought is quickly dismissed by a kiss on my forhead.
"Four did you hear, I am going to become a leader" Uriah exlaims. He is defidently intimidated by Tobias, I mean everybody is. There is however something about Uriah's attitude towards Tobias. Like he knows Tobias won't harm him as much as he could.
As Tobias and Uriah are talking, I turn over to Christina and Will who are now sitting next to me. "Hey Christina how was your first day at work?" Since Christina and Will both ranked below 6th they are fence guards.
"It was good. I mean its the fence, but atleast we are togeheter" She smiles and looks at Will. "Yeah, and at least we are still Dauntless, right" He fills inn. I nod and smile. They are really great together. And I for one am glad I kept my friends with me. Dauntless is turning out pretty great for me.
Every one is talking loudly and no one notices that Eric is standing right behind me before he clears his throat.
"Excuse me, I don't mean to interrupt. Well acctually I don't care" He is really of to a good start. "Four, Stiff some with me" he commands.
I shoot Tobias a confused look. He looks just as confused.
Please write reviews I really appreciate it. Thank you!
