Tris POV

His hands grab a hold of my wrist as I try to tango. I step over his shoe and slip making both of us lose balance. We abrupt into laughter.

"I think that's enough for today" he says. I laugh.

"Yes...I think so too" I get up and he extends his hand for me to help him up.

"You really think I can help you off the floor?" I ask.

"You have to at least give it a try" he says. I grab his hand and try pulling him up. Obviously I do nothing but he gets to his feet "that wasn't so bad" he laughs.

"Whatever" I walk away to grab my bag. I bend down and lift it up.

"So, I guess I really have nothing to teach you" he says walking up to me.

"You guess or you know?" He laughs.

"Can I ask you something?" Why?

"Sure" I turn around to get my jacket off the ground.

"Why do you have all the factions on your charm bracelet?" I don't dare turn around. I didn't think he would pay attention to such detail.

"I..." I turn around "my mom gave it to me, I didn't want to be rude and not accept it you know"

"You didn't think that it would be something bad for the factions?" I look at him. He isn't going to let me slip that easily. I can see it in his eyes.

"Yeah...I did, but I also know that I am divergent" he stares at me. Did I just say that to him?

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with it...your secrets safe with me but if Zeke ever sees that he will do something about it" I stare into his eyes.

"He can do whatever he wants...he's already seen what I'm capable of" I turn around and push my sweater into my bag.

"So I was thinking of dying my hair" I say out of nowhere.

"What? What's wrong with your hair...its...pretty" I laugh.

"Not permanent dye obviously...just for the occasion. If you want the crowd to not know who you are, you need to disguise yourself"

"That's actually not a bad idea" he replies.

"That way we won't go to prison" suddenly I feel conscious of how close we are "...if we ever get caught" I walk a bit faster. It really makes me nervous to be alone with this guy. I mean his eyes and-

"Hold up" he runs to catch up to me.

"I'm still here Tobias" I laugh. We approach the back balcony which leads to my room.

"Climb up" he says. I look at him and roll my eyes.

"Step up" I say. I step on the ladder. I look down. "literally...we need to make a change, I'm tired of being kept in a prison" he looks up at me.

I reach the top and look down at him. He wears a smug smile.

"Goodnight Tris" I wave goodbye and head back in.

Tobias POV

"Your tables are waiting" Jeanine yells. I look over at her. Trying not to roll my eyes "now Four" I walk out of the kitchen with the notebook. Most of the tables have people dressed in elegant clothing. Rich or famous people. Same difference.

I search for my table almost forgetting which one it is. It's been long since I haven't worked. I find it and regret having to work here. The priors are seated as a family. Tris doesn't look so happy. She seems annoyed with Caleb's presence. I walk over to the table.

"Hello, how's everyone doing today" Tris looks up at me and her eyes go wider then they are. She looks back at the table.

"Hi there..." Andrew Prior scans my name "Four" I smile.

"Never in my life have I actually seen or heard of someone being called by a number" Natalie Prior says "clever name...what's the meaning behind it?" I stand there unable to speak. If I do I'm afraid I might get fired.

"Tris scoots her chair over causing me to drop the notebook on her drink. It tips over and falls everyone looks over at the table.

"I'll pick that up" I say. I bend down taking the towel from my waste.

"I'm sorry about my comment" Natalie apologizes.

"That's alright" I bend down and notice a few drops on Tris leg. Don't do it.

"Tris, but seriously...you need to do something with your life, you're not going to have a perfect body all the time" Andrew says. I clean the liquid off the ground with the towel.

"You don't think I know that...I mean Caleb isn't always going to have that body" Tris says. I try not to laugh.

"Why add me to this conversation Beatrice, he was obviously talking to you"

"Don't you-" she begins to protest.

"Stop it both of you...it's breakfast for heaven sake. Don't ruin your morning"

"Anyway like I was saying..." Andrew's voice fades away. I look up at Tris. She seems to be giving the conversation a lot of thought. I touch the towel to her leg. She kicks the air missing me. I smile. I do this why? Because I'm stupid and inappropriate and well stupid really. I stand up.

"I'll be back" I say the broken glass on the tray.

"Okay, sorry about that" Natalie says. I walk off into the kitchen.

What did I just do? I get that we're supposed to have some type of chemistry as dancers but, I'm afraid I'm failing to that kind of chemistry. I'm still not over Jordan. I still have hopes that everything was by accident. Ugh. I walk out again.

"Are you ready to order" I ask. Tris gets up and walks away. This isn't good.

"I think we won't be eating today...call Jeanine Mathews for me will you" Andrew says. Is he f'n kidding me?!

"Yes sir"

    So I quoted Tobias from Four or lets say Veronica Roth. I just think that's funny and adorable lol. Comment. Vote. I watched insurgent and I'm kind of upset but hey the movies are movies and the books are books. I guess it would be different if I hadn't read the books. It was a great movie though. And it made a lot of sense that they didn't detail the characters because in reality we did not know them from divergent the movie. Tell me what you thought of the movie. Keep it up initiates.
