CHAPTER FOUR

FOUR'S POV:

Tris seems to be very curious about the new Abnegation, who didn't even react to the name 'Stiff' as Eric soon found out. Maybe Tris is right on Mouse being Divergent, either way she is pretty cool. She doesn't hit on me like all the other girls do but look at me with curiosity as if she is working out who I am.

Soon all the initiates have jumped and Tris and I start the introduction.

"My name is Four and this is Six," I say pausing to look at Tris. "And we will be training the transfers, while Lynn and Zeke will be training the Dauntless-born" Then the Dauntless-born, as if rehearsed, follow Lynn and Zeke, leaving us seven transfers. A hand slowly creeps up.

"Yes?" Tris answered in a tone which she had been practising, trying to intimidate the transfers.

"I hope I'm not being rude or anything but why are your names numbers?" A girl from Candor asked. I looked at her and saw that standing next to her was nearly an exact replica of her. Her identical twin, probably. Tris sighed and replied "One of the benefits in Dauntless is something called free will" She giggled slightly, probably mentally cursing herself not to be an Amity.

"Follow us and we'll show you around the place." I say hoping to draw the attention away from Tris, since she was slightly blushing.

I start walking in front, signalling Tris to walk beside me. She catches my drift and picks up the pace.

"I like it when you blush," I say showing off my half-grin.

"I like it when you smile," Tris replies edging closer to me. We stop at the Pit and Tris speaks up. "Initiates this is the Pit, where the line of bravery and idiocy is no more than an inch away. There has been many deaths already and will be many more."

We continue walking towards the Chasm where I hear a few initiates gasp.

"This is the Chasm, the centre of life in Dauntless. You'll learn to love it. Through here is the dining hall, where you will eat most of your meals." Tris pauses as we continue walking towards the initiates' dorms. I speak up giving Tris a break.

"You'll be sleeping here," I say pointing towards the room. "Find yourself a bed and get dressed. There are showers and toilets at the back. Meet in the dining hall for dinner and get ready for training at 7:OO sharp! Be late and you're factionless."

Tris and I exit the double doors and walk towards the Chasm, our hands entwined.

"Four?" Tris asks with a little puppy-face.

"Yes, Six?" I answer mimicking her.

"What do you think about our bunch this year?"

"Well I don't like how Stevie and Jaq are hitting on you and I disapprove Chantelle hitting on me. Mouse is fine, the twins, Angel and Caroline are okay and Hannah is quiet. Kian and Zappo are surprisingly well behaved and …" I pause trying to think of something to say, but Tris seems to understand as she leans in for a kiss. One that's filled with understanding and love and excitement. As we pull away Tris says

"Come on Toby, let's get some food."

I grin and together we walk towards the dining hall, hand in hand.
