Step Up Divergent

I'm Divergent

Tobias POV

I step into the auditorium and immediately get the feeling of claustrophobia. There's far too many people for one meeting that might just humiliate me the rest of my life. I look around and my eyes fall on the Erudite. I'll be honest here. They're clever but stupid. I scan the rows to see if I can find her. I don't know why it never occurred to me that I could find her at her house. It's stupid really.

My eyes stop on a girl. I can't see her features as clearly due to how far away she is. It looks like her. It is her. She seems stern. Not like the way I saw her the other day. Well her boyfriend was cheating on her...hold on. I look up at Zeke.

"Hey Man" he looks at me.

"What?" He says.

"What's the guys name...the one who..."

"Drew" he searches the crowd to our front. The Erudite. "You see that blond with the black jeans and blue shirt?" I nod. "Well she's your 'colega'" I look at him.

"Zeke I don't understand when you speak Mexican to me" he laughs.

"She's the ex of Drew"

"Mhm" I look over at her. She meets eyes with me. I don't know how she does it, so far away. It's like we...connect in various ways. Why would Drew cheat on her? Why would he go after Jordan?

"Edward and Bella's intense stare huh" I look down at Uriah. He sits on the bottom bleacher staring up at me like a little kid.

"Hey, when you get here?" I say.

"19...you know what I forgot the year I was born" we laugh.

"Alright let me sit next to you" I squat down and place my legs over the bleacher sitting down.

"Alright! Front row seats" Uriah claps.

"Uriah don't get into trouble...I'll see you two after the meeting" Zeke says. We nod looking up at him. He walks away.

"So...you and that Trissy girl had like a twilight connection"

I feel kind of off with him mentioning her name "Hey how do you know her name? Have you been hanging out with her?"

"Have you?" I smirk and look away from his gaze. He's right I shouldn't be judging him. I've been talking to her too.

"Tris is known as the rebel in her group"

"I heard...she used to get in trouble at school"

"That's exactly how I know her" he says "I just don't tell anyone cause I'm not dumb"

"Mhm" I say staring at Tris.

"I'm serious" he defends. I laugh. I see her brother go up to her. He seems to be warning her. She only nods. I would hate having a demanding brother. Especially from Erudite. Zeke mumbles something into the microphone. I turn my gaze towards the stage as they're about to begin.

"Ladies and gentlemen sorry for the trouble...it's been a long time we haven't gathered here" Zeke says "Now there's been a problem with two of our fellow members and it is always to be brought up to all people" I look away from Zeke and back at Tris. She seems to be bored. I look at her until she finally meets eyes with me again. This is stupid. Why am I even?

I look away and back to now Eric. Great I don't like him so I'll look back at Tris. She looks away from me. I smile. She looks back at me and arches an eyebrow.

"Oh look transition to The Fault In Our Stars stare" I look at Uriah and he waves at Tris. I quickly grab his hand and make sure no one has seen him. "Okay Four I get that we're friends but it's not cool to hold my hand" I let go and glare at him.

I turn around to look at Tris. She seems to be laughing at us but trying to keep her attention on Eric. She glances over at me and looks back at Eric. She looks back at me and furrows her eyebrows. I can see a smile making its way into her lips. I smirk and look back at Eric. Damn, He's lasted longer then Zeke.

"So here are the names...Zeke pulls out a card...Derrick, Jacob, Tyler, and Jordan from Dauntless" Everyone starts commenting and I get a couple stares from people. I look back at them and they quickly turn to look at Zeke.

I don't dare to look at Tris.

"The names are...Sheryl, Tiffany, Jennifer, and Drew" Eric says.

I look over at Tris as she receives laughter and oh's from her faction. How could they be so cruel to someone so...

"The stiffs got it bad!" A girl with brown hair yells. Everyone laughs. A stiff is known as those beginner's. Maybe she's a beginner.

She holds her gaze up not showing shame but strength.

"Alright that's enough" Eric yells.

"Eric and I decided to give a normal sentence. They are to be factionless" Zeke says. Everyone starts talking at once.

"As always" they all quiet down. "We are to ask...well why ask really" Susan laughs. Everyone laughs too. Mathew snatches the microphone from Susan's hands. Typical Candor.

"Are there any divergent's?" He asks. Everyone quiets down they all look around at one another.

Tris POV

My heart is racing. I hear my own breathing. My heart banging against my head. I'm not good enough for this. I need to try. I scan the crowds. The Candor look at the crowd. They expect honesty from people and I'm pretty sure to look at who to judge. Dauntless look at one another as if daring each other who's not a coward. Erudite hold their gaze stern. Fixed with greed. I look at Abnegation. They don't seem to be waiting for anything to happen. I don't judge them. The amity look pretty pleased with this situation.

Without thinking twice I get to my feet. People's eyes fall on me and I decide to look at Eric. There is no going back now. I made this decision. I'm not scared. Or nervous. But determined.

"Beatrice" Eric says through the microphone.

"I'm Divergent" I say as loud as I can. Chatter fills the room but I keep my eyes on him.

"Silence..." they all stop. He looks back at me "everyone is free to go...your leaders will inform you about this" I walk towards the stage but I feel someone grab my shoulder and turn me.

"What the fuck was that Beatrice!" Caleb yells.

"You have no more power over me Caleb. It's about time I make my own decisions"

"You are so-!" everyone walks slowly staring at us "I hate you" he lowers his voice.

"I'm glad to say the same" I shrug off his shoulder and walk towards the stage where now Tobias is at. Great.
