I stand behind him. We walk to the Cafeteria. We eat lunch at different tables. I sit with Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Christina, Al, Jess, Dylan, and Will. I hear bits of their conversations. Lynn is talking to Al about fighting, Uriah and Marlene are staring into each others eyes, Christina and Will are kissing, a little too sloppily for my taste and Dylan and Jess sit in silence, eating.
"Dylan, Jess...Could you come with me?" I ask them. They nod and stand. They follow me out into the hall and to the Training Room. There aren't any cameras in there. I sit on the table with a throwing knife in my hands. I spin it over my knuckles.
"Okay...Come here." I say. They walk towards me and have a seat on the floor. I jump off the table and sit in front of them.
"Jess...What were your aptitude results?" I whisper. Dylan nudges her and nods when she doesn't answer.
She sighs and leans in close, "Divergent...I have an equal aptitude for Dauntless and Amity." She whispers. I nod.
"What? Amity and Dauntless? That's impossible..." I trail off.
She speaks in a low whisper, "The man who administered my test had to change it. I chose wrong, apparently..." Alright, well that's strange.
"Dylan?" I already know he's Divergent but I want to know what for.
He looks around and whispers, "Dauntless and Candor." I nod. I look at both of them, Jess is pretty, with her subtle features and brilliant blue eyes, Dylan is handsome, with his strong defined features and bright, alert brown eyes. They look at me.
"Are you guys...together?" I ask them. The look at each other and blush, "Um...I...I.." Jess starts.
She's cut off by Dylan, "Yes, we are. Don't tell anyone, okay? I don't want to be anyone's target. I especially don't want her to be anyone's target either." He says in a soft voice.
I nod, "Wanna know a secret?" They nod in unison.
"Four and I...were together too." I whisper back.They both nod.
"Six?" Jess asks.
I say, "Yeah?"
She swallows, "What were your results?" I sigh. I knew this was coming. Do I tell them? I think I can trust them. I mean, I know their secrets. So, why not?
I lean in close the them and whisper, "Dauntless, Erudite...and Abnegation." I lean back and look at them. They look surprised and happy.
Jess is smiling, "I knew it! I knew you and Four at least had history! I knew it, right Dylan?" She screams. I smile. Dylan nods.
"Guys, you should go. We're getting up a little bit early." I say. Tonight we play Capture the Flag. Me against Tobias. I smile at the thought.
