divergent-no war- Fourtris

chapter one

Tobias POV:

Tris is first.
I look at her smiling and I admire how perfect she looks. A hand grabs my sholder and I turn to see Zeke.
"So, you coming later?" he askes and I remember that hes holding a party at his apartment.
"No, you know I hate party's," I say plainly but it comes off as defensive. My eyes dart back to Tris and I remember that she'll probably be there.
"Y'know shes coming." Zeke obviosly caught me staring at her. I elbow him in the side and I think , fine i'll go.

I walk up to Tris, I still have that kiss next to the chasm replaying in my head. She came over eariler (before she got her rank) I showed her my tattoos and we talked and kissed. It was like a dream.
"Congrats," I say and loop my thumbs round my belt hooks so I dont do anything stupid, I always do.
"Thanks," she says and her electric-blue eyes are suddenly the only thing I can focus on.
"You belong here you know," I lean closer, barely but closer, "Youre brave, you've earned your place here."
She dosnt say anything but she blushes and then Christina starts shouting something and the pure thrill of dauntless fills me.
"Do you think a hug would give away too much?" I ask and Tris looks at me for a second before saying,
"You know, I really dont care." And with that she presses her lips to mine and I feel all my thoughts melt away.
We both stand there looking at eachother and a small smile makes its way across her face, and sure enough I find myself looking at my feet grinning, massaging the back of my neck. Not many people noticed (I dont think) but Christina did and so did Zeke so its only a matter of time before everyone else knows.
Christina yanks Tris's arm and starts shouting:
"UM WHAT WAS THAT!?" her shout is quite annoying but not as bad as some, like a young candor when some secrets were told at the lunch table. her jaw is dropped and her eyes are wide, I start toward the door before I see anymore.
But I certanly hear it.
"HOW,WHAT,WHEN,WHY?!" the sound isnt the loudest but when its what im listening for, my god is it deafaning.

I try to get to my apartment without questions, but of course Zeke is jogging behind me.
"Dude, what?" he looks at me with cofusion but also excitement."how couldn't you tell me," he shoves my shoulder playfully and I laugh.

"We wernt telling people, and for the record no nothing like that has happened." I say before he can ask me.
"mmmm, intresting. you lying?" he says and raises an eyebrow. I shake my head.
I remember Marcus questioning me with those words and it usually followed with a beating. Why do I let him interfier with my life, now especially. Im free from him and I feel strong enough to fight back if the occasion came. I block him from my mind and stroll back to my apartment assuring Zeke I'lll see him later.

I flop down on my bed and laugh.
what is this life?
