A/N Hi! How is everyone?
OK, so last time, there was a sort of cliffy? And I'm really excited to write this chapter so let's get going!
Disclaimer: I'll call you when I'm a New York Times best seller and have a name beginning with Veronica and ending with Roth, OK? Don't wait up.

Tobias/Four POV

As soon as I get in, I notice Marcus in the living room, scowling at me. "Get ready," he growls. "Put something nice on." He seems to have sobered up since last night.
"Yes, sir."
I sigh and make my way up the stairs, then decide to change into a clean black t-shirt and jeans. By the time I'm finished, Marcus is waiting impatiently at the door. He gets into his truck and I climb in next to him.
"Be polite, Tobias."
"Yes, sir."
"Don't be the worthless piece of shit you are for once and make a good impression."
I wince at his words, but I'm used to it. Ever since my mum, Evelyn, left, he's been angry all the time and has taken it out on me. My back is crossed with scars, and the reason why I find it hard to open up and make new friends is because of him. He is no longer Dad, or Father, but simply Marcus, and it is not home, but it is simply his house. As soon as I'm 18, I'm out of here and as far away as I can get from him.
I am stronger now, and he doesn't have as much of an affect as he used to, but when I was younger it was hard.

His words still run through my head, sometimes. I don't want to believe them, but that doesn't mean I don't.
Worthless.
Puny.
Weakling.
Unwanted.

I stare out the window, trying to clear my mind, but then Marcus speaks again.
"Don't embarrass me."
"Yes, sir."
"Stop talking like that!"
"Sorry, sir." I say quietly. I learnt a long time ago that keeping my mouth shut was the best option, and that standing up would be of no use. I learnt to stay quiet.

Marcus brakes and we halt in front of a familiar house. I squint. Where have I seen it before?

It's Tris'.

What?

Tris POV

Four?! Four is coming over for dinner?
I cannot find any words, and for a moment, I stand there, dumbstruck.

I am saved by my dad coming out of the living room. "Marcus!" he exclaims. "How are you?" He ushers Marcus and Four in. "Come in, come in!" They shake hands. I look closer at Marcus. He is smiling widely, and at first glance, it seems genuine, but if you really look, it seems too wide and fake.
"This is my daughter, Beatrice," Dad says. I smile and say, "I prefer to be called Tris. Nice to meet you." These niceties have been drilled into my head since I was small. I am used to having guests over, because of Dad's job.
"Oh!" exclaims Marcus. "This is my son," he adds, gesturing to Four. "Introduce yourself," he says.
"I'm Four." he says, nodding at us. "Your real name, son," smiles Marcus. I swear I can almost hear him say,"whatever," under his breath, but then he says, "I'm sorry. My name is Tobias." Marcus nods slightly, satisfied.
My eyes flick to Four - or Tobias - for the first time since I spoke to Marcus. His eyes hold mine, and I see something in them I have never seen before - a warning, almost fear. I simply smile and take them into the dining room.

"Natalie not here?" Marcus enquires. I stare down at my food - plain chicken and tasteless peas. "No," says my father, looking sad. "She's in Africa."
"It's a shame. But it is for a good cause."
"Yes. So Tobias," my dad starts. Four - Tobias- I remind myself. "What school do you go to?"
He swallows and replies, "I go to Divergent High, sir."
"Oh, really? Tris goes there too. It was her first day today. Do you have any of the same classes?"
"Yes. Most of our classes are together."
"That's good. Tris, if you two are done, why don't you take Tobias upstairs and occupy yourselves? His father and I have some things to talk about." I nod and look at Tobias for confirmation. "OK," I reply. I scrape my chair back. "Come on."

Tobias follows me up to my room. I open the door and shut it after us. When I look up, a scowl is on his face - the opposite of the laughing, smiling boy I saw earlier.
"What's wrong?"
He looks down at his feet. "Nothing's wrong. Just that a girl who I've only known for all of twelve hours has just found out my real name that I don't like anybody to know. It also just happens I may be slightly worried about it getting out, and that I also really li-"
He stops himself before he gets any further.
"Well," I say, crossing my arms, "I'm not going to tell anyone. You're going to have to trust me."
"I already do," he mumbles under his breath. "But that's not the problem."
"Excuse me?"
"Nothing."

"Tris!" my dad calls. "Tobias and Marcus are going!"
Tobias sucks in a breath. I wave him out of my room.
"Tris?" he says, just as he is about to go down the stairs.
I catch up with him, saying, "Yes?"
"Thank you."
He seems to be deciding something, and then his eyes flutter shut and he presses his lips to my cheek. My heart rate picks up, and I feel a connection everywhere his skin touches mine - a tingling electricity that replaces the blood flowing through my veins. He catches my gaze. His eyes are a sleeping, dreamy colour, and I feel for a moment that I am floating away.
"I had to do that at least once."
Without looking back, he goes downstairs. I stand there, shocked, my hand flying up to where his lips touched my cheek. A moment later, the front door closes and I see car lights moving away from the house. I walk into my room and close the door, then flop on the bed, grinning widely.
Tobias just kissed me.

And then, another thought hits me.

Does he like me back?

A/N That was pretty short, I'm sorry. I wanted to do another bit but then I decided I should split it up and put it in the next chapter.
Anyway, I watched the Insurgent sneak peak for about the 1000000th time and I'm SO EXCITED I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO COME OUT *squeals*
I'm on holiday, but I have a tonload of things going on. I'm going to be doing my best to write more often, but sometimes it's really hard.
And if you liked it, please leave a review!
I've also decided that I'm going to do this thing where I say what songs I was listening to while I wrote.
Songs: Just One Yesterday, Fall Out Boy ft. Foxes
The Phoenix, Fall Out Boy

Have a good day! ^^
