Chapter 2

Tris

I unlock the door and set down my bag on the floor. So this is my new apartment. I can't help thinking about my family. I wonder how they are. I wonder how life is for Caleb in Erudite and I wonder what my mom and dad are doing. Are they all okay?

I close the door behind me and start to look around. It has a kitchen, one bedroom, one bathroom and a living room. It's pretty small, but I don't mind. It's perfect for me. I unpack the little clothes I own and hang them in the bedroom closet. I made it. I actually made it through initiations and I can finally stop worrying about the leaders finding out that I'm Divergent. I still have to be careful though, and not talk about it. Just act like a normal dauntless teenager which, to be fair, I actually am.

I lay down on the bed, thinking about tomorrow. I'm don't even know what I'll choose. I told Christina something like ambassador for the other factions, but I don't know if that's what I really want. Like Christina said, it might be fun to be an instructor like Tobias. Then I would probably be given another job for a while since the new initiates won't come until next year. Besides being trained to be an instructor I still have to do something. I know there are four available positions for that, two for the dauntless born initiates and two for the transfer initiates. However it doesn't seem to be so popular since Tobias and Lauren we're the only ones who chose it. Maybe it will be different this year. Tobias is still an instructor so there are three left this year. I heard Lauren decided to work with Tori at the tattoo parlor instead this year. I don't know what the others want so I'll just have to wait and see until tomorrow.

My thoughts are interrupted when someone knocks on my door. I smile a little and it feels great to have my own apartment. I get up from the bed and walk over to open the door. Tobias is standing outside. "Hi," he says.

I had forgotten about him during these past hours. After the new members where called out I went straight to my apartment. I just wanted to settle down as quickly as possible.

"Hi," I say back. He walks in and presses his lips to mine. He shuts the door behind us with his foot and slowly walks toward the couch in the living room, still kissing me.

"Tobias," I say and try to ignore the nervous feeling I get every time he touches me.

"I missed you," he says and kisses my neck.

"We saw each just a few hours ago."

"Too long." He pulls away and smiles a little. We sit down on the couch. "Have you decided what job you'll choose?" He says while gently brushing my thigh.

"Maybe instructor, like you."

"I think that would be a perfect fit for you," he says. "I could probably help you with coaching too. They have a mandatory instructor training program, basically like for any job you would have to learn how to do."

I wonder what it would be like, training alone with Tobias almost everyday. It doesn't sound so bad but is spending that much time together good for a relationship? Is this even a relationship? I wouldn't know. I've never done anything like this before.

"Yeah. I guess I could imagine doing that."

Tobias

I look into her eyes and they're beautiful. If she choose instructor tomorrow I would spend so much time with her. I'm happier when I'm with her, even though she still makes me nervous sometimes.

"What are you thinking about?"

"Us," I say. She smiles and places her lips on my cheek. I can feel the touch in my entire body. It's foolish how depended I am of her. I don't know how to deal with my emotions cause I've never had them before. I just know that she helps me, in every way possible.

I stay with her and we talk for hours. She's not like other girls at all because I can talk to her so easily, like it's the most common thing in the world. I look at the clock. It's almost 8 pm. "It's getting late. I should go," I say.

"Yeah."

I get up and start walking toward the door. Before I leave I turn toward her. "Good luck tomorrow," I say. "You'll make the right choice. You always do."

Tris

He closes the door behind him. I'm still unsure of what we are. I'm completely absorbed by him but I just can't seem to determine my feelings. My eyelids feel much heavier and I decide to go to sleep. As I get up from the couch someone knocks on my door. When I open it, Christina throws herself in my arms and laughs so loudly I have to cover my ears. "Christina, what are you doing here so late?" I say trying to overpower her laugh.

"I couldn't just go to sleep without saying goodnight to my former roomie. Duh."

I laugh a little. "I'm gonna miss having you as my roommate."

"Me too! But I live just a few apartments down the hallway. We still live really close to each other."

"Really?"

She nods. "So, I bumped into Four outside. Has he been here like, all day?"

"Not all day," I say grinning.

"So when are you planning to tell me your story?"

"Our story?"

"Yeah, like how you got together and stuff."

"Not today." I push her outside the apartment. "I promise, you'll hear all about it, just not now. I need sleep."

"Alright fine." She gives me a quick hug and disappears around the corner. I close the door and walk back to my bedroom. I crawl under the covers. Tomorrow I'm making a huge decision that will define my entire future with Dauntless. I feel like sleep will be avoiding me tonight.

See ya'll soon. Be brave! -s
