Chapter 3

Once I get to the front door of my apartment I unlock it and go inside. I quickly change into some black jeans and a tight dark gray tank top. When I walk out off my room I see Tobias sitting on my couch with a cup of coffee in his hands.

"I told you I would go back to you place," I at quietly sitting next to him.

"I couldn't wait," he says placing the cup on the coffee table and pulling me closer.

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing. Does something have to be wrong for me to want to spend time with my girlfriend?"

"No, but you have that look."

"What look?" He says slightly smiling.

"Nothing," I say shaking my head, "do you want to go get some breakfast?"

He nods and gets up to leave. We walk to the cafeteria hand in hand in silence.

Once Tobias and I walk through the doors, we walk to the table where Shauna, Zeke, Christina, Will, Marlene, and Uriah are sitting. When we sit down I notice that Zeke, Shauna, and Will all look like Tobias does: like shit.

"Are you guys okay?" I ask.

"Shhhh!" Zeke says rubbing the sides of his head with his finger tips, "please no loud noises."

"It's your fault you guys got drunk off your asses last night." I say raising my voice slightly. He just glares at me.

*PAGE BREAK*

Tobias and I finish our breakfast and got back to his apartment.

"Toby, do you want some aspirin?" He just nods.

I go into the kitchen and grab a couple pills and a glass of water for him. I sit down next to Tobias on the bed and give him the water and pills.

"Are you feeling okay?" I ask running my hands through his hair.

"I'll be fine," he leans over and gives me a kiss on the cheek.

I lie down next to him and rest my head on his chest, listening to his beating heart. We stay that way and fall asleep in each other's arms.

*PAGE BREAK*

When I wake up there is a note on Tobias' night stand that says:

VI-

Hey babe, I went with Zeke to train for a little while. I'll be back around lunch.

Love you.

- IV

I look at my watch and see that it's only 11:30, so I decide to take a shower then go over to Christina's apartment to hang out.

When I get there, she opens the door and frowns.

"What's wrong?" I ask.

"Your outfit," she says shaking her head, "it's horrible."

"Come on. I didn't really feel like dressing up when I know I'm not going anywhere special. Besides, it's only sweats and a tank top."

"Fine, whatever. What are you doing here anyway?"

"I need something to do until lunch. Four is with Zeke in the training room and I'm bored."

"Wanna go train? I need to work on my knife throwing skills."

I shrug, "sure why not."

When we get there, I see Tobias and Zeke in the ring fighting each other. Four looks at me and waves. I wave back and Zeke finds an opportunity to take Tobias down. I watch for a few minutes the go over to the knife throwing station with Christina.

Four and Zeke walk over to us laughing and talking.

"Dude, face it, I won," Zeke says, a wide grin stretching across his face.

"Hey, I would have won if Tris didn't distract me," Tobias says defensively.

"Don't you dare pull me into this," I say.

I pick up a few knives and try to throw with my left hand instead of my right. I doesn't work very well.

"What's wrong with your arm Tris? You never miss a target," Christina says.

"I'm trying to throw with my left instead of my right," I say.

"Oh, that's a good idea," she replies.

We continue throwing until about 12:30, then go to lunch. I sit next to Tobias and eat a sandwich in silence.

"You okay?" Tobias whispers in my ear.

"Yeah I'm fine. Why?"

"No reason," he then gives me a light kiss on my cheek.

"Ugh," Zeke groans.

"What?" I ask.

"You two are so lovey-dovey. It makes me lose my appetite," he answers scrunching his nose.

"Oh shut up. If you don't like it then leave," I retort. And he does. Zeke stands and walks out of the dining hall.
