Step Up Divergent

The key to reality

Tobias Pov

"Hey have you seen the keys to the shed?" I ask Zeke before opening the door wider. I find him and Shauna kissing. Whoops. Shauna pushes off him and fixes her hair. She walks out of the room. I turn around to see Zeke staring at me.

"What?" He says casually.

"You're going to tell me what when you have the hottest DJ on the planet making out with you!" I can't help but aww him "someone's in love"

"Well yeah I am...at least I'm saying what's really going on. Unlike you, I can tell you're keeping secrets from me Four"

"What are you even talking about?"

"You seem I don't know odd this morning" I walk over to the desk and sit on it. I cross my arms and remain silent "is it Jordan?"

"Yeah..." I say "I couldn't sleep last night so I went for a drive" he can't know I was speaking to the Erudite. That would make me a traitor.

"And?"

"It got me thinking" I say "what if...I don't know. Jordan was cheating on me?"

"If she were cheating...she would be factionless within seconds and you would be desperate for answers. Look, if anything like that is going on I suggest you that you start getting ready for everything. Don't be angry at her or don't try to put a burden on yourself" I stare at him.

"I mean I can be saying that but what if she's not cheating on me...then I'd feel terrible. You know what I mean...for doubting her"

"Then I guess you don't deserve her at all...maybe that's just destiny" I nod.

"I'll have to find her so we can talk...I just don't buy the "my parents" story"

"I don't know man...just follow what your mind, heart or body is telling you" I look up at him.

"What?"

"You know what I mean" I laugh.

"Thanks man...oh and the key to the shed?" He opens a drawer and takes out a key.

"Don't forget to bring it back"

"I won't...I'm going with Al so he can help me choose the costumes" I say walking out.

"Alright" he yells after me "hurry back" I shake my head and smile.

I meet Al by the stairs.

"You ready?"

"Yes sir"

"C'mon then" we walk towards the garage and walk out the door.

"So have you been thinking of joining the dance crew?" I ask Al.

"Yeah...I just think that Art is more for me" he says. "My parents say whatever suits me" Al is two years younger then me. I admire how independent he is. My dad always tells me how I should be a good example to the crowd. So if he thinks I'm bad I ignore the crowd. My name Four came from trophies I helped the group win.

It was my first time trying out and to all the initiates. There is given a special thing they have to do in order to make it to Dauntless. I had to win more then one trophy or less than three. I guess I made the record. I prefer Four so I don't embarrass my father. But when I heard it from Tris mouth. It felt nice.

"At least your parents appreciate you" I say

"Not all the time" he laughs "...they could be kind of discouraging" that's surprising.

"Is that it?" He points over at the shed.

"Yeah" we walk up to it. I pull out the key and before I place it in I hear something. I turn to look at Al to make sure I'm not the only one hearing something. He looks back at me.

"I think we should go...this sounds sexual" he whispers. I try not to laugh, he's right it does. But why would Amar let someone in here? Unless they stole the key or something

"No one's allowed to be here" I whisper back.

"Come on man, let's go" I look at the shed. Fine. I take the key out and smile at him. We begin walking away slowly so they won't be able to hear us. Then I hear a laugh. Her laugh.

I stop dead on tracks and glance back. Al stands still.

"Four calm down man" I run towards the shed fighting off Al's arms holding me back. I place the key in and turn it. I swing the doors open. There she is a complete whore.

The guy comes off her and looks up at me in surprise.

"Jordan" I say looking at her. Al comes up behind me. She covers her topless shirt. I notice who the guy is. He's from Erudite. She would be factionless within seconds. I stare her in the eyes...she seems scared. Well I guess she should've known

"Put some clothes on...both of you. I guess we'll see what Eric, Zeke, and the other factions have to say about this" I say. I pull out my phone not moving from the doorway. They don't move. "I said get dressed!" I order them. They move.

"Hey Zeke...I'm going to need a group of dauntless out here I got something pretty interesting"

I repeatedly hit the punching bag with more force each time. It sways back and forth. Did I actually think that she was going to wait for me? I mean I always told her that I respected her and that I loved her. But that wasn't enough. Not for her.

Now I understand Tris perfectly. Such an odd thing that just yesterday she was upset and now I am. Now I'm the one needing support.

I stop the bag from swaying and wipe the sweat off the side of my forehead.

When someone dancing you need to be sure they can dance. That's for the obvious. But you also need to be fit...have some muscle in order to do all the crazy movements we do. That's what initiation is all about. So in reality everyone who tries out makes it in.

I begin hitting the punching bag again. I challenge myself to go faster this time.

"Wow Four slow down" I turn around to see Zeke. I stop the punching bag from swaying.

"So...what have you been up to?" I ask already knowing.

"Tomorrow all the factions will meet up and we'll see what happens" I nod and look down at my shoes "there's no need to be upset Four, it wasn't your fault...do you..." he hesitates "want me to give her a bad sentence?"

"No...just follow protocol" I say fixing the bag.

"Okay" he starts to walk away and stops.

"You sure you okay man?" I nod. He stays there for a minute and then walks away.

Caught on sight. Comment and vote. Love you all initiates.
