Tobias' POV

The next morning, I felt a little better but I didn't want to go and see the initiates. Well, I mean Tris. Especially after her fight.

But I have to, so I get up and wait beside the tracks as the initiates slowly start to trickle in.

I let the other initiates hop into the train first before I do, but shortly after I grab the rail and pull myself in easily as I have done tons of times before.

I watch as Al helps her into the train car and I feel a pang of jealousy. Maybe I was right, she would end up with Al.

"Feeling okay there?" I hear Peter say to Tris. "Or are you a little . . . Stiff?" He sneers, I watch as Tris doesn't say anything at all.

"We are all awed by your incredible wit." I hear Will say to Peter.

"Yeah, are you sure you don't belong to Erudite?" Christina asks. "I hear they don't object to sissies."

For once I agree with her. But I want to stop the teasing before anyone get's hurt. But if hopefully it would've been Peter.

"Am I going to have to listen to your bickering all the way to the fence?"

Everyone goes silent and I turn back to the car's opening, I lean out so my body is mostly outside the train but my feet stay planted. I can feel Tris shifting her gaze to me every once and a while. It makes be nervous for some reason.

I tune out their conversation and listen to the wind whistling into my ears. But when I feel the train breaks screech and the train stops. I get off and wait for the rest to file out.

I lead them to a chain linked fence with barbed wire on the top, it extends over the horizon.

"Follow me." I say, leading them over to the gate. Past the gate I can see the Amity farms.

"If you don't rank top five at the end of initiation you will probably end up here," I say as I reach the gate.

"Once you are a fence guard, there is some potential for advancement, but not much. You may be able to go on patrol beyond the Amity's farms but-"

"Patrols for what purpose?" Will cuts me off.

I lift my shoulder casually. "I suppose you'll discover that if you find yourself among them. As I was saying. For the most part, those who guard the fence when they are young continue to guard the fence. If it comforts you, some of them insist that is isn't as bad as it seems."

"Yeah. At least we won't be driving buses or cleaning up other people's messes like the factionless," Christina whispers too loudly.

Then I hear the four words I knew I would hear at some point.

"What rank were you?" Peter asks me.

"I was first." I say.

"And you chose to do this?" Peter's eyes widen. "Why wouldn't you get a government job?"

"I don't want one." I reply flatly. 'and none of your business.' I add in my head.

I lead them over to the next fence, trying to move a little slower than usual for 'the' injured.

A truck drives to a gate and stops. Amity sit in the back holding crates of apples.

"Beatrice?" I hear a voice say. Who's Beatrice?

But then I see Tris' head turn towards the voice of the person who called her name. 'Of course, that's more Abnegation like.' I make a mental note of her real name.

They walk to the other side of the truck and out of ear shot.

I can still see Tris over the truck though, barely, her head is about truck level. Her face is really bruised up, but it kind of makes her look... Dauntless.

I see Peter walk around to them, probably to make fun of them but I keep my lips pursed. I see her get angry and it looks her look more Dauntless as well. 'Stop!' I chide myself once more and stare at my shoes.

I hear the truck rev up and the gate opens, leading the truck through the gate. The little group breaks off. I was momentarily talking to one of the guards but when the truck went through I move to Tris.

"I am worried," I say, but quickly add. "that you have a knack for making unwise decisions." I stand just a foot away.

I can't help it.

She crosses her arms, "It was a two minute conversation." She argues.

"I don't think a smaller time frame makes it any less unwise." I furrow my eyebrows and I do something that even surprised myself.

I reach out and touch the corner of her bruised eye. Her head jerks away but I don't take my hand away.

I just sigh, "You know, if you could just learn to attack first, you might do better." I say quiet, not wanting to think I'm giving her tips.

"I'm surprised you know that," she says quietly, "Since you left halfway through my one and only fight."

"It wasn't something I wanted to watch." I say, my heart beating irrationally fast for how close we were. I clear my throat.

"Looks like the next train is here. Time to go, Tris."

This will be one of the shortest FanFiction Friday posts, I just reaaally wanted to save the upcoming scene for a separate day!

But thanks for everything.

I have been messing with settings on here and I'm sorry if I missed you name above. I'm sorry if I miss them later or whatever, I usually ready my emails but I haven't been getting some so I think I have to mess with it some more.

Can you leave a review so I can see if it is getting through to my emails? That would be lovely.

Review, Fav, Follow! :D
