Effulgent

Chapter 14

TRIS POV

I see Tobias thinking about something. I wonder what it is.

"T-I mean, Four?"I call him. I almost called him by his real name in front of everyone. He looks up at me.

"What are you thinking about?" I ask.

"Nothing, just about how my life got a 1000 times better." He tells me.

I smile. I'm glad he's having a good time.

"Wait, Tris. Did you just call him T-Four?" Zeke asks me, looking amused.

"Um, well, sorry. I just made a mistake I guess." I tell him, trying to give an excuse.

"You know his name." Shauna tells me. Oh no!

"Um, well, everyone knows his name, it's Four." I tell her.

"What she meant was, his real name."Christina says.

"Um,no, I don't." I say a little defensively. I must not reveal any of Tobias's secrets. It's not my story to tell.

"Chill, Tris. Yes, she knows, but not only my name, all of me too. My old faction, the reason I came here. Plus, all of my four fears too." Tobias says boldly.

"Oh my god! Four's an open book to you, Tris." Zeke says to me.

"Yup, I'm like a diary to her. She knows every part of me but no one does. Isn't that a little intimate?"Tobias asks.

"Yes, it's definitely intimate." Shauna says.

I blush. I've never ever thought about being intimate with anyone.

"Oh, look, Trissy is blushing. It's so cute!!" Will exclaims.

Everyone laughs.
