"Toby." I whisper as he pulls me off the net
"What's your name?" He asks with a ghost of a smile.
I take a few moments to contemplate. Beatrice sounds too abnegation and only Tobias is aloud to call me Bea.
"Tris." I finally answer.
Tobias smirks and turns to the crowd. "First jumper, Tris!" TThey cheer and he brings me over to the side. "My name's Four."
"I know that."
"Okay." He says, trying to hide a smile.
He walks back and I stand here until the other initiates come.

"Alright initiates! Listen up!" Four yells at us. "This is where we part. Dauntless born go with Lauren. Transfers stay with me."
"C'mon. I'm assuming you don't need a tour of the place." Lauren says to the dauntless borns.
"Alright, usually I work in the control room but for the next few weeks, I'll be your instructor. My name's Four." He says to us.
"Four? As in the number?" Christina asks.
"Exactly like the number. Got a problem?" He responds, getting into his more intimidating mode.
"No." Christina says in squeaky voice. Wow, the first time I've seen a candor quiet, I think to myself.
"Good. Now as I was saying before I was rudely interrupted, I'm going to give you a tour. If you will follow me." Four tells us, motioning for us to follow him.
"Man he's a jerk." Christina whispers to me.
"Not so much a jerk as some one who doesn't like being laughed at." I say with a hint of defensiveness. "I just wouldn't question any thing he says. It'll keep you out of trouble."
Four stops short and turns around which causes me to slam into his chest. He turns around and sees me. "Sorry." I mutter, beet red. He nods. I think I he's trying to hide a smirk.
"Now this so the Pit. It's the center of life here at dauntless. You will learn to love it. You can shop, get tattoos, almost anything is possible." He says and walks back.
"Oh, so that's why it's called the Pit." Christina says,gaping at the hole in the ceiling. It's the only natural light.
"Next is the Chasm." Four says. He leads us to the right side of the Pit to a place that's so dark that I have to squint to see anything. The floor is iron and we approach a railing,which is the only thing blocking us from the raging water below.
"The Chasm reminds us of the fine line between bravery and idiocy. A daredevil jump into this water will end your life. It happens every year and it will happen again. You have been warned." Four has to shout over the raging water.
"It's incredible." Someone says.
"Incredible is the word." I agree.
Four walks us over to the other side of the Chasm a through huge hole in the wall. What I is it with place and holes? There are tables with food on them and people sitting around. I'm guessing this is the cafeteria. As soon as they see us, they start stomping and cheering.
This is the freedom I've been searching for.
