If I had met you in grey

Chapter 48

(All rights to Veronica Roth!)

Tobias POV
We had another day of fighting today, we got finished about a half hour ago. I had to fight today, I had to beat someone up. I won but I still don't feel great about it.

I take some time by myself and tris is talking with Will and Christina anyway. I sit down by some rocks in the chasm and listen to the roar of the water. "Hey." I turn around and the voice belongs to Shauna. "Not quite the victory dance i was expecting." She says. "I don't dance." I tell her. "Yea. I should have known better." She says. She takes a seat across from me our feet almost touching. "You knocked that kid out pretty good, he's in the infirmary. Pretty sure he has a broken nose." She says. I did that?

"I was wondering if you could help me." She says killing the silence. "Help you with what?" I ask. "Fighting. I'm no good." "Why would you want my help? Is it because I'm a stiff, and we're supposed to help people?" I ask. "What? No!" She says. "I want your help because you the best here!" She says. I laugh. "No I'm not." "Did you not see that kid! Did you not see the rankings?!" She says. "I'm pretty sure you are!" She adds. "I'll help you. I just don't know how." I say honestly. "We'll figure it out. Tomorrow afternoon, in the training center?" He says and I nod.

I just made arrangements to meet up with a girl, alone in the training room and she isn't tris. Now I feel I've made a mistake. What will tris think? What will she say?! Should I tell her or keep it to myself? I'm screwed either way.
