Tobias POV

I hop onto the tread mill next to Tris and hit the start button. It counts down.

"Okay we call this the dauntless workout...20m minutes of jogging. Not running." I say. The machine starts to move. I press the plus sign several times. We begin to run. I look over at her. She seems to be getting it. That's good. I decide to go faster.

"Are you challenging me?" I glance over at her and laugh.

"Maybe...but that means we're going to go 10 minutes instead of 20" I hear a beeping noise.

"You mean 9 minutes" she says.

"You're on" I speed up the machine. I place both hands on the railing to steady myself.

"Cheater!" She yells out of breath. I let go and run. I feel my muscles begin to ache by the minute.

"You feel that?" I ask out of breath.

"What?" She asks.

"You're legs burning" she nods

"I suppose that's dauntless fire" I laugh "ugh 6 more minutes" she keeps at speed. I didn't think this girl would keep up to me. I mean she looks fit but that doesn't mean anything.

We push ourselves till the end. I hop off of the tread mill...sweat dripping from my head.

"Wow...I can't believe you aren't sweating" I say.

"That's cause I'm a girl" she says. I roll my eyes.

"Alright break time...which means it's time for dancing" she turns to look at me both arms behind her.

"What?"

"You heard me" I say. I pull out my phone from my back pocket.

"So...what are we dancing"

"Bachata" I say looking through my playlist.

"Ba- what?" Of course she's american too so she wouldn't know.

"Bachata" I smile "We'll start with some simple steps just so you learn" I press play on 'solo por un beso' by Aventura "okay come here" she walks over to me.

"Teach me steps to an actual performance" she says.

"First you need to learn" I grab both her hands. I'll start far away and make my way closer.

"Maybe I should watch a video?" I laugh.

"I'm pretty good at this...there's no need to watch a video" I look down at her wrist. A bracelet. I notice the factions instantly. "what's that?" She looks at it and quickly pulls away. She's divergent right?

"Um...a gift my mom gave, I should probably put it away" she walks away and bends down to place it in her bag. I don't judge her. I'll ask her later. She walks towards me.

"Okay...you ready now?"

"Yeah" I grab a hold of her hands.

"Watch my feet" I look down and take a step to my right. And bump. Before I can think about the other step. She has it "are you trying me?" I laugh.

"No"

"You obviously know bachata"

"I just wanted to see how much you underestimated me" I pull her closer.
