Chapter 2

Disclaimer- I do not own Divergent!

A/N: Sorry if I don't have the whole high school schedule thing down, I'm in middle school. Also, my friend who LOVES Divergent said that she would help me with the 'cheer' stuff. Anyways! Please review!

Tris P.O.V.

When I get to ELA Four and I sit next to Four. We are assigned a project with a partner. Our teacher, Mrs. Rosenthal lets us choose our partners. I look over at Four. He smiles at me and I smile back.

"So Tris, want to be my partner for the project?" He looks nervous, but I decide to mess with him.

"No thanks, I want to work with Zach." I see Four's grin fade away and he looks at Zach with a look of jealousy. I giggle and he looks back at me with a confused look.

"Four, I would lov-like to be your partner, silly!" I say giggling. Then it hits me, I think he likes me! I freak out on the inside, the look of jealousy he gave Zach. I am so happy! Then I also realize I almost said I would love to be his partner. I shrug it off and pull out my MacBook Pro.

Four leans over towards me and whispers, "Is it me or is she older than dirt? I have counted her say "mkay" 46 times in the past 15 minutes." I laugh so hard it hurts when he said that. I just noticed that the lights have been off, maybe Four is right. She must be a vampire.

Four pulls out his Macbook Pro. Mrs. Rosenthal explains the project and hands out the rubric and directions. I make a google presentation to share with Four. I ask him for his email and he gives it to me. I share the project and we open it up. I get a text from Four asking what house I'm choosing.

Hey, what house are you choosing? -Four

Hey, what do you mean? -Tris

Oh, a house is where you belong in our school, there are 5. Abnegation the selfless (they never think of themselves, always helping others) , Amity the kind (always trying to keep the peace), Candor the honest (they are really fucking rude), Dauntless the brave (they are the sporty ones), and Erudite. (the intelligent) -Four

Which house are you? -Tris

Dauntless- Four

When do I choose? -Tris

Today at lunch. What were your results from the test from you took from over the summer? -Four

Abnegation, Dauntless, and Erudite- Tris

Four looks over at me wide eyed. I ask him why he is staring at me like that.

"Tris, don't tell anyone your results except for the faction you choose, Okay?"

"Okay." I say. "Did you have other than one result?"

"Yes, Abnegation, and clearly here." He says. I look at him.

"I thought you weren't supposed to tell anyone?" I say with a confused look. Four looks at me with his deep blue eyes.

"I trust you, Tris. I know you won't tell anyone. You get expelled if the administration finds out. Be careful and choose wisely." I nod. "Who administered your test?" he says.

"Tori, is that bad?"

"Thank god, you got lucky. Tori is the coolest staff worker here, you'll love her!" he says patting my back. I love the feel of his strong hands. He puts away his MacBook pro and as if on cue, the bell rings. I pack up my stuff and we talk together to music.

Music was fun, we have a teacher named George, he lets us call him by his first name, I know I will enjoy this class.

I find Four and we head to lunch. When I get there I sit down with 'the crew' and eat. The cake here is REALLY good! I ask them what house they are and they all says 'Dauntless' in unison. I decide I will choose Dauntless, it seems fun, the sporty people, the brave, also this house is where my friends are. I am interrupted by my name being called over a microphone.

"Tris Prior! Please come to the stage to choose your house." I look up to see the principle, Max Mathews calling me to the stage. I am patted on my back by my friends. I smile and turn around after I feel a strong hand on my back, its Four.

"Tris, choose wisely and be brave!" he says and smiles and sits back down. I feel a thousand eyes on me, they have noticed I go to school here, the famous Natalie Prior's daughter goes to school here.

I get a few catcalls as I walk up to the stage from some guys. I blush and I glance and see Four eyeing the people with a 'she is mine' look in his eyes, or that is what I hope it meant.

I get to the stage and I am handed a blade and instructed to cut open my hand a little to drip my blood into my house of choice. I slide the blade over my hand, a few drops of blood on the side of my hand, waiting to determine my future in this school. I move my hand over to the bowl of coals and turn my hand without command and my blood drips onto the coals and it sizzles.

"Dauntless" Max says and half the cafeteria cheers for me! I smile and make my way to the table. I sit next to Four and he whispers into my ear, "I'm proud of your choice." I look at him and smile.

I turn my head up a little and look him in his deep blue eyes and he looks me in my eyes. I smile and he does too. For a moment, I swore we were infinite. Thats when we are interrupted by Chrissy 'clearing her throat' and I realize the whole table is staring at us. I blush and look down at the floor.

I come out of the girls locker room with Christina and Shauna. We are laughing and talking about cheer tryouts. Apparently Shauna and Marlene are also trying out too! As if on cue Marlene walks up and joins our conversation about tryouts

"I hope we all make it! It would be so fun, the four of us, we could have out own pyramid!" I say and they both agree.

"Tris, I know we met today, but I already like you and I can us being best friends, Shauna agrees with me!" Marlene says.

"Aww! Girls yall are so sweet!" I say with a smile! We walk into the gym and we start to walk around the perimeter, instructed by our gym teacher, Amar. We walk a few feet away from the stacked bleachers, then the music starts playing and we begin running.

We run for 10 minutes straight and almost everyone is walking by the 5 minute mark except for the few football players. I run by one of them and turn my head to see Four running. He is wearing a tight black under armor and it clutches his muscles very well. I can see the outline of a six pack from the compression of the shirt.

"Wow Tris, I'm happy to see you're very athletic. I saw you running earlier, you're also pretty fast." He says and we smile and the music stops. I laugh and thank him for the compliment.

"ALRIGHT, CLASS, I AM COACH AMAR! I WANT ALL OF YOU TO FIND ONE PARTNER AND SIT WITH THEM SO WE CAN BEGIN OUR EXERCISES." Coach Amar says.

I look over to see Chrissy, Marlene, and Shauna winking at me to work with Four. I nod and I see Chris walk over to a few guys and she becomes partners with him. Marlene and Shauna partner up.

"So Tris, want to be my partner again? And no playing with me this time." He asks and we both laugh.

"Tris" I hear someone say my name and I turn around to see a pretty big guy, not as big as Four but he is pretty buff, he isn't very handsome but he is kinda cute.

"I'm Al, you're Tris right?" he asks.

"Yea, nice to meet you Al."

"I was wondering if you wanted to be my gym partner?"

"No thanks, I'm partners with Four." As I finish I turn back to Four and sit down and Four slides down to the floor across from me. I smile at Four and he smiles back. He turns around because someone has called his name. Suddenly I feel someone grab the collar of my shirt and puts me in a choke hold. I try to gasp for air but I can't. I manage to wheeze out Four's name.

Four see's me and he turns to stone and he lunges off the floor and runs towards Al who is pulling me away. Four lands a punch on Al's face and Al pulls a knife out of his pocket and holds it to my throat, I begin to see black due to the lack of oxygen, and suddenly I feel air flowing through my lungs.

I notice Al on the ground and Four kicking and punching him. A crowd has formed and some joined along with Four and some are trying to pull him off when Coach Amar shows up. I blush at the sight of Four defending me.

"FOUR STOP! OR YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO TRY OUT TODAY!" Coach Amar bellows.

Then, Four stops and backs away, a bruised Al sits on the floor. I walk over to the wall and sit down still gaining oxygen. A crowd of people forms around me, asking me if I'm okay. Four takes a knee and asks me if I'm okay but I can't get anything out.

Chris, Marlene, and Shauna sit around me rubbing my hair trying to calm me down because my emotions are so jacked up right now. Chris is slowly helping me regain my breath.

"Nur.. Nur.. Nurse" I finally manage to get out. I am still crying because all punched me in my stomach and it knocked the air out of me. Four scoops me up off the floor and I wrap my arms around his neck and simultaneously wrap my legs around his waist and he runs me to the Nurse's office. On the way there I give him a kiss on the cheek and lay my head down on his shoulder.

Four sets me down on the bed and holds his hand on my chest. He tells me to breathe when he does. The nurse comes in and gives me some water. I breathe in and out slowly, with Four. After a few minutes of this, I finally have a stable breathing rate. The nurse takes a small plastic tube and places it on my finger to check my breathing rate. Tobias walks in with a half wet half dry wash cloth and hands it to me to wipe my face with.

"Well, you have gotten back to a stable breathing rate, but I want you to stay here for a few more minutes until you're ready to go back to gym class. I will leave you two alone." She smiles and walks towards the door.

"Thanks, Evelyn." Four says

"You're welcome, Four." the nurse says as she closes the door.

I look at Four and I smile. He is sitting next to me on the bed. I lean against his shoulder and he turns a little and I put my head on the crook of his neck. I realize what I'm doing and I pull away.

It's like he is reading my mind when he says, "It's okay, rest for a few more minutes. You can put your head back… If you want to." he says, nervously at the last part. I smile and I put my head back on the crook of his neck. I hear him mumble something about 'love you' so I decide its time to tell him.

"Four, I know... I know we just met, but I really, really, really like you." I say and I look at the floor.

"Tris look at me." I turn and look up at him. Before I notice anything, he presses his lips to mine. He pulls away to study my facial expression. "Tris I'm- I cut him off by pressing my lips to his. This is heaven. Apparently this day can get better.

I pull away and look up at him. I smile I hate to say this but I have to, "Four, we have to get back to class."

"Wait, Tris… Um… Will you be my girlfriend? I know we just met, but my feelings for you are unexplainable." He asks, his face bright red and a nervous look in his eyes.

"Of course!" I say pulling him into a hug.

"Beatrice, you came back for me."

I pull away, I look up at him. I lunge myself back into his arms.

"I've missed you, Toby. I've missed you a lot."

"Me too. You can call me Tobias or Toby if you want." He says. That's where the name is familiar, but I was so used to calling him Toby, but I think Tobias fits him better now, so I make a mental note to call him that, instead of Toby.

I suddenly remember the day it happened.

Flashback

It is a Saturday afternoon. Tobias and I are sitting in the corner in my yard. He looks over at me, and kisses my cheek. We stand up and he hugs me tightly, like he is never going to see me again.

"Happy 10th Birthday, Beatrice."

"Thank you Tobias!" I kiss him back on his cheek. "I love you, Tobias, like a best friend." I say

"Me too, Beatrice. Promise me one thing. Okay?" he says.

"Okay," I say

"Promise you will come back for me."

"I promise." I say and then we pull away from the hug and Tobias runs back to his house.

~.~.~

I wake up, get dressed and I go over to Tobias' house, there is a 'for sale' sign in his yard. I walk up to the door and ring the doorbell. No one answers, so I peek inside the window and see no furniture. He is gone.

I run and sit in the grass and cry. I cry all day and lay in his yard calling for him. My mother finds me in his grass, crying. I tell her what happened and she takes me inside. We watch a new movie I got from Tobias, Toy Story 3. I sit there and eat popcorn and cry missing Tobias.

"I will come back for you Tobias, I promise, I promise I will." I say to myself in a whisper.

End of Flashback

I look down at my phone and see class ends in 10 minutes, I pull out of the hug and we walk to gym class to change back into our clothes.

Before we part our ways to the locker rooms he says, "Meet me at our lockers after school so I can walk you to tryouts, Okay?" he says.

"Okay."
