I walk to the canteen, holding hands with Tobias. I get a tray and put a hamburger on it and piece of dauntless cake. I also get a coke zero. I see Toby get a slice of dauntless cake and a bottle of orangina. I pay for it and head to a table. I sit next to Chris, who was already there somehow.
"Do you wanna come to my house tonight for a sleepover?" I ask her, attempting to start a conversation
"Sure!" Chris answers, cheerfully.
Then Uriah, Zeke, Shauna, Marlene and Lynn join Tobias, Chris and I.
"What's up peeps?!"Uriah asks, the usual cocky self.
"Not much. Would you like to come to my house after school though?" I answer him with a question.
"Sure!" They all nod their head. I eat my food and head to homeroom. I see Peter and All talking about me.
"She deserves to die." I hear Peter say. I gasp, and tears form. I hold back the river however.
"She is a b!tch." I hear Al say in return. I turn around and see Tobias. I run into his chest and let my tears out.
"Don't worry. I will not let them kill you."
"How do you know that?"
"Nobody messes with the almighty Four's girlfriend." I smile, and press my lips to his. The bell, again, interrupts us.
"Music!" I say happily.
"Music." Tobias returns.
"Forever?" I ask him.
"Forever." He returns. "Maybe forever will be our always."
I smile at the TFIOS reference, and bite my lip.
"I wish I could bite that for you." I hear Toby mutter. I blush, and then see him staring at me.
"I said that out loud. Didn't I?" He asks me. I giggle and nod my head.
"Damn."

At music.

"Hello class. I'm Miss Murphy. I will be your teacher for this term."
We all nod.
"You are going to write and sing your own songs. I will not help you. Today,though, you are going to sing your favourite song. So who would like to go first?" She says.
"You are going to work in groups." We all cheer. "That I made." We then groan.
"First group. Tris, Tobias, Chris, Uriah, Zeke, Marlene and Lynn." We cheer again.

I go off into one corner of the room with my other groupies.
"What song should we do?" I ask them.
"Gravity!" They all say.
"Okay then. I'll go lead vocals." I say.
"Chris, Marlene and Lynn can be backup and the boys can do the woahs."
"Let's go."

I clear my throat and everyone turns their attention to me.

I start the first verse.

All hands on the trigger
All eyes on the gun
They don't believe that we're
Strong enough to hold on
'Cause I'm the only one to get you
The only one to figure you out
You're place that I can go to
A face I couldn't live without
And nobody sees what we do
Don't need anybody else around

No matter what they told us
Gravity won't hold us down
(Woah ×2)

Even gravity won't hold us down
Even gravity won't hold us
Even gravity won't hold us down
Even that gravity won't hold us
Not even gravity can hold us down
'Cause don't matter what they told us
Gravity won't hold us down

'Cause I'm the only one to get you
The only one to figure you out
You're place that I can go to
A face I couldn't live without
And nobody sees what we do
Don't need anybody else around

Can't understand the logic of how we came to be
Or what we gaining from it
That we should dare to drink

'Cause I'm the only one to get you
The only one to figure you out
And there's something left to go through
Just look at where we are right now
They'll never see it in the way we do
'Cause they'll never have what we have found
It don't matter what they told us
Gravity won't hold us down

Even gravity can't hold us
Even gravity can't hold us down
Even gravity can't hold us
Even gravity won't hold us
Gravity, gravity
Gravity, gravity
No, gravity, can't hold us down
Gravity, gravity
Not even gravity
Gravity can't hold us down
Can't hold us down.
