I woke before Christina so decided to get a quick shower. I changed into black jeans and a black vest top. Everybody in Dauntless seemed to wear similar clothing. It wasn't a rule exactly, people could wear whatever they wanted, but of each of the five towns we seemed to stick to our own colour.

I walked downstairs to the kitchen and began to make toast. I collapsed onto the couch and started to watch TV. A few ours later, Christina finally woke up.

"Finally." I smirked.

She rolled her eyes. "Oh shut up. It's only 11am."

I laughed.

"Oo. Toast." She smiled as she sat besides me.

"Want some?"

"Yeah."

"You know where the toaster is." I smirked.

Christina groaned and threw a pillow at me. I laughed as she dragged her feet to the kitchen.

"Hey, Tris." I heard her shout.

"What?"

"I've gotta work this afternoon, so afterwards will you help me set up for the party?"

"Sure." I shouted back.

The party was tomorrow. Saturday. I suddenly remembered that I still had to tell Tobias the details. I could do that while Christina was at work.


We watched TV for a few hours. Basically lounging around. At 1pm Christina shout up from her seat.

"Oh, shoot. I have to go now."

I stood up too. "Do you need a ride home?"

"No thanks. I drove here in the first place remember?"

"Oh, yeah." I laughed.

I waved her off as she drove away. Once i got back inside I looked for my phone. A s if on cue, it lit up on the couch. Tobias

'Hey. I still need to know where this party is. Can you come to West Ash Road?'

I quickly replied.

'I was just about to text you. Sure, I'll be there in a few minutes.'

I grabbed my black boots and pulled them onto my feet, stumbling as I did so. I shoved my phone in my pocked and grabbed the car keys. I already knew the road so it didn't take long to get there.

With a lot of force, I pulled the front door open to the shop. I didn't exactly know if Tobias worked here, but i remember him telling me that he worked for a security business and this looked like that sort of place. Plus it was the only open shop on the road.

I walked to the front desk where a tall dark haired man stood.

"Is Tobias here?" I asked. My voice timid, although I wish it wasn't.

"Tob- Oh, you mean Four?" He chuckled.

"Uh, yeah." I smiled awkwardly.

I didn't realised people still called him by that name. When Tori mentioned it, I thought it was from the past. Not that it really mattered.

"FOUR!" He suddenly shouted.

I almost jumped out of my skin.

Tobias came strolling out with a scowl on his face.

"Zeke, do you really have to shout so loud?"

The guy behind the desk... I'm guessing is Zeke, chuckled.

Tobias then looked at me and beckoned towards him.

I kept my head down and followed him, trying not to look at Zeke. He seemed harmless but right now I don't know him well enough.

Tobias caught on and smiled thoughtfully. "Don't worry about him."

I smiled too. My eyes suddenly went wandering as I entered Tobias's office. It was incredibly dark and had papers scattered everywhere. In the centre of the room was a large computer screen.

"How do you manage to see anything in here?" I laughed lightly.

His face suddenly lit up. Like he had an idea.

"Oh. Like this."

He leaned over and turned on a lamp. It rally did no help at all.

I scoffed. "Yeah, cause that helped."

He chuckled. "I know, it's bad isn't it. But I'm just here to work. I don't care what it looks like."

I scoffed again. "I wouldn't be able to cope."

I sat on a swivel chair that surprisingly had no papers over it.

"Aw, did you clear all of this chair for me? You shouldn't have." I smirked.

Tobias laughed before rolling his eyes.

"So, this party?" He sat opposite me.

"Well, it's at my friends house and it starts at 8pm."

"Okay. Where does she live?"

"Silver Lott Lane."

He nodded, like the recognised the road.

"It'll be the house with all the lights on and unfortunate banners."

"Your friend likes to go all out?" He smirked.

"You don't know the half of it."I laughed. "She's crazy."

He laughed too. "Oh yeah. It would kinda help if you told me her name?"

"Christina." I smiled.

He nodded.

"Tris?"

I looked up.

"Will you just sort the damn papers out?"

"What are you talking about?

His eyes traveled down to my foot. I didn't realise but I had been tapping it against the floor in annoyance.

I burst out laughing then bit my lip.

"I'm sorry, I just..." I groaned. "How can you cope with such a mess?"

His office was literally a dump. I could barely see a patch of floor.

He shrugged. I shook my head and stood up.

"Well, your books should be over here." I said while picking them up and hurling them into a corner.

Tobias watched me and laughed as I went on. He turned back around to his computer and mumbled.

"You should come here more often."


"It looks amazing."

I had been with Christina for hours now. Setting up the house with her to looked presentable. Like I had presumed, there was banners.

"Have you decided what you're wearing?" Christina asked.

"Uh..." I thought about it. With all the planning and my mind racing with the fact I had invited Tobias, clothing hadn't entered my mind. "No actually. Oh god. What am I going to wear?"

Christina's face lit up. "Come on. We still have a few hours."

Before I had time to disagree, I was stood outside many clothes shops wondering which one to enter first. After 2 hours and with a lot of Christina's help, I picked out an outfit. I walked out of the changing room biting my lip.

"Are you sure this looks okay?"

She smiled instantly. "Of course."

"What about this part?" I said, looking down at my exposed skin.

I was wearing what Christina had picked out for me. A black crop top that hung just above my belly button and a pair of high waisted shorts.

"It honestly looks really good on you, Tris. You've got the perfect body for it."

I looked down so she couldn't see me smiling. I've always been insecure about my body, so it was nice to get compliments.

"Plus, the high waist shorts almost cover where your crop top doesn't." She continued, then rubbed my arm comfortingly.

"Don't worry. Tobias will love it." She winked.

I gasped, not expecting her to say that, then burst out laughing with her.


It was 9:30pm. The house was already packed and full of noise. You cant deny it, everyone at Dauntless loves a party. I turned around when I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Uriah!" I smiled.

"Hey!" He shouted over the music.

"I haven't seen you since high school!"I screamed.

He chuckled. "I know. Where've you been?"

"Oh, you know." I flicked my hair off my shoulder jokingly. "I went to Italy."

"Really? What was that like?"

I told him how amazing it was and and how I had taken Riley with me. We spent a few minutes catching up. I couldn't believe I hadn't seen him for so long. His head then suddenly lifted.

"Four?!"

I scowled. How does everybody know him?

"Uriah?" He questioned.

"What are you doing here?" He laughed.

His eyes traveled to mine. "I know Tris."

"Wow, small world." He chuckled, mostly to himself.

It was easy to see that he was already drunk. Uriah stumbled off.

Tobias turned to me. "Sorry I'm late."

I shook my head. "It's no problem. Want a drink?"

"Sure."

I couldn't head him over the music, so beckoned him to follow me. Once we got into the kitchen I sighed in relief.

"Hard to hear in there." I laughed.

"I know."

I turned around to the fridge, choosing a drink for Tobias. As I looked up I could see in the window that he was watching me. His eyes traveled over my entire body. I smirked, although I wasn't sure whether to be flattered or offended.

"Here." I handed him a bottle.

"Thanks." He took it and took a sip.

I raised an eyebrow at him, to which he started to laugh in confusion.

"What?" He asked.

"You're not going to ask what it is? Just going to drink it anyway?" I smirked.

"I trust you."

I scoffed. "That's sweet."

He raised his eyebrows. "What's that supposed to mean?"

I grabbed his hand and lead him back into the living room, where the music was booming.

"You'll see after about two more." I winked then began dancing, encouraging him too as well.


By 12am I didn't know what I was doing. All I knew was that I has been with Tobias all night, and to be honest, I was having a great time.

"Tris?" Tobias slurred.

"Yeah?" I looked up.

Our bodies were only inches apart. The amount of people at this party gave us hardly any space to move.

His lips lowered to my ear.

"You look amazing."

I could feel his breath against my skin. I felt my cheeks turning a burning red.

"Aw, are you blushing?"He teased.

His hands moved to my waist. Sliding along the bare skin where my crop top and shorts didn't reach.

I giggled then looked up at him.

"I think I've had too much to drink." I said, quickly changing the subject.

It was like i got scared now, scared that if we got too close I would ruin things again.

"I'll taker you home."

"I'm staying here." I smiled.

"Let's go then."

He wrapped his arm around my waist, still on bare skin. Sparks sent throughout my body. I wrapped my arm around him too and we made our way upstairs.

"This room." I pointed.

He stopped in front of the door.

"Thanks for walking me home." I winked.

"Anytime." He winked back.

I burst out laughing and he did too,

"I guess I'll see you-"

I didn't manage to hear the end of his sentence, all I can remember is seeing a blackness surrounding my eyes.
