Brotherly instinct

Tris pov

I just kissed him! Is all I can think as I walk down to the pit to find Zeke and Shaunna. My vains are running with adrenaline.

I don't know what came over me. All I know is that 1. He hit me, and did it on purpose. 2. He apologized, and he looked desperate for me to understand. 3. He was smart with his actions, he thought on the spot and new exactly what to do before it got worse. 4. He was brave, took the responsibility to throw at me. 5. He was selfless, exactly how he should be. 6. He looked at me with so much emotion and passion as he threw the knives at me, and when he was apologizing.

He has the traits of the factions I have aptitude for. I wonder if he is divergent, just like me. I also wonder why he ever left with how selfless he is.

I also know that if he stayed in Abnegation, the spark in him would have been stifled into oblivion. Dauntless has kindled that spark into a flame.

I am so deep in thought, I didn't even realize I was at the door of the control room.

When I see the control room door, I snap to reality. I feel a sting on my ear, and touch it. There is a lot more blood than I thought there was. I wince as I walk into the control room.

Zeke is in there, playing some sort of video game that he made up. There is only 3 other people in the room, half awake.

When I walk in the other 3 people don't acknowledge me at all, but Zeke looks up. He sees my face and starts to stand up, but then he sees my ear. Rage overcomes his face as he engulfs me in a hug. I love the brotherly instinct he has, I would love for him to be my real brother.

But I can't breath very well at the moment because of Zeke's hug.

"Zeke...can't...breath...." I get out.

He jumps back. "What happened to you? Who did this? Are you alright? Was it Eric? I will kill who ever did this! Why-"

"Zeke it's okay." I reassure him, cutting him off. "I will explain over lunch, let's go."

He nods, but puts his arm around my shoulder, pulling me in protectively. He is like my brother, always protecting me. I love him, but not like that.

We are walking through the pit towards the cafeteria when I see Four. He is talking to Christina, Al, and Will. I hear bits of there conversation "I can't believe you just did that, Four!" And "liking her dos not mean hitting her!" And with that Four smacks Will on the back of his head. I smirk. He just said that Four likes me.

Four looks up from his friends and sees me looking. We make eye contact and I see jealousy in his eyes. I realize Zeke's arm is still slung over my shoulder. I don't know what to do, so I just look at Zeke and say loudly, "so, how are you and Shaunna? If you hurt her I will make sure you never have a piece of Dauntless cake again!" He just gives me a weird look but we keep walking.

I look back at Four and see the jealousy on his face has gone away, and is replaced by something else, I'm not to sure what it is.

When we get to the cafeteria we see Shaunna and go sit down. When we get there Shaunna starts with the questions about my ear.

Zeke tells her that I am going to explain. But first I have to explain the thing back there.

"Ok so that boy back there, the one I was looking at, is the one that hit me." I start.

"He hit you? Like with his fist? I am going to kill that boy!" Zeke says outraged.

"No, no, I will start at the beginning." I try to start again.

"But before we start, do you like that boy?" Zeke asks, wiggling his eyebrows at me.

"Maybe," I mumble into my lunch.

"What was that?" Zeke and Shaunna say at the same time.

"Yes!" I yell, so they don't ask me again.

"Okay," that yell, making sure I know that they get it. We both laugh.

"Ok, so today we were throwing knives..." I tell them the story.

When I'm finished they both stare at me intently, and say at the same time, "your Abnegation is showing," I just laugh and hit them in the arm lightly.

I say I'm tiered, so I say my good byes and leave the cafeteria and head to the control room.

I know Zeke's shift doesn't start again until later, so I log on to my special account I made for spying a few weeks ago.

one time I saw Max and Jennine talking in his office. I only heard a bit of there conversation, but I know they were planing something. So I snuck up to Max's office and used a special flash drive I got from My boss, saying I was pulling a prank on Zeke.

I got in and out fast, bud my boss saw me. I got away with a warning since he didn't see what I did, but it was still close.

Whe I log on to Max's computer from my own, I go through a couple files not finding anything.

I log off a few minutes before Zeke comes back from his shift. I am happy that we got the day off so I was able to do this.

I go back to my room and pass out immediately when I reach my bed in my apartment.

This was a long day.
