Chapter 4:

Tris' POV:

Tobias and I walk into the dining hall, and sit at our usual table. I grab a hamburger from the middle of the table, and listen to Uriah rambling about the fact that cake should be served for breakfast as well as lunch and dinner.

"Hey," Tobias turns to me. "do you know what job you're going to pick?"

"Yes," I reply.

"Let's hear it."

"Well, I was thinking of working in the Tattoo Parlor and maybe train the initiates with you next year."

"Okay, that's cool."

We finish lunch, and I have no idea what to do, so I just stand by the railing of the chasm.

"Tris!" I hear after a while. I turn around and see Christina, Will, and Uriah.

"Yes?"

"We've been looking for you! I'm having a party later, so if you want to, you're invited," Uriah says with a smile.

"Four's coming," Christina says, wiggling her eyebrows.

I roll my eyes and pretend to ignore her. "Okay, that sounds fun." I smile back.

A few minutes later, I'm in front of Tobias' apartment, about to knock, when I hear a female voice inside.

"C'mon, Four! You don't need her. I'm way better," the voice says.

"Like heck you are," Tobias says. Wow, he does love me…

I open the door slowly, and see a thin blonde, standing in front of Tobias. Her back is to me, so she doesn't see me, only Tobias does.

"Why do you want her anyway? What good does she do?"

"Well, I didn't throw myself at him and say junk about his girlfriend right in front of the both of them, maybe you should try it," I say. She turns around, and looks frightened. "Do you really think I wouldn't have a key to our apartment?"

She tries to look intimidating, but she fails.

"Well, shorty, you should learn not to intrude on other people's business," she says, her voice faltering as she reaches the end of her sentence.

"Oh, so when a girl is interfering with my love life that's not my business? I think it is. Am I right, Four?" he smiles. "So, with that said, get out of our apartment or I'll make you leave."

She scoffs.

"I'd like to see you try, Shorty."

"Wrong answer," I say, and pull her by the hair, and throw her out of the apartment. Afterwards, I flop on the bed.

"So, there's a party later, you want to go?" I say.

"Are you going?" he asks. Jeez… he cares a lot.

"Only if you are," I reply, because two can play at this game, i kiss his cheek and walk out the room smiling.

"Ok," he yells, sensing my challenge. "We'll go."

I laugh, then stop abrubtly, thinking about the way he rejected that girl, instead of being with her. I didn't know I meant so much to him.
