Tobias POV

I sit there staring at the folder. It reads confidential. I glance at Mrs Edith Prior. She sits across the table arms folded on the table. I bring my hand from under the table and slide the folder away. She stares at it blankly.

"Isn't there some sort of age limit?" I question her. She looks up. I mean I can't work as a politician at a young age. I have every right to live a life.

"Your father would have liked for you to be a politician but...if that's what you want he'd be happy too" she takes the folder. I take a drink from my coffee mug "you are aware that you have now taken possession of money...you need to work it very well"

"I understand...I plan to make something out of it...something useful"

"Like?" I set the coffee on the table and shrug.

"Help those who can't get an education..."

"You do realize you'll need school for this right?" I fiddle with my keys. A habit I've gotten from Marcus.

"I know..."

"And that illegal group of dancers...what with them?" She questions.

"They'll keep going...I won't stop them and neither will Andrew" I say out there. In reality this isn't going to stop. She nods and lays back in her chair.

The factions are back...we have created an army of divergents. We work together when we have to but when we don't we are all just...frienemies. I glance out the window.

"And you sure you want to do this?" She asks again. I smile.

"I've thought it through...yes I'm sure" she smiles.

"You gonna miss being with us?" Zeke asks.

"Nah...I'm right around the corner" I laugh.

"Right...this is only because you have a private plane" Lynn says.

"Will you ever let us ride on it?" Uriah questions with such excitement in his eyes. I place the box in my car and turn around.

"Maybe...but after that we'll all travel worldwide" they all look at one another "we won the competition" I say. They all look at me silent at first. Then they start yelling like crazy. I laugh.

"Wow!...when did this happen?" Al asks out of breath.

"The last dance...it went viral"

"Wait... but Al never took a video" Marlene buts un.

"I know but that didn't stop people" I point out. They all laugh.

"Alright...I guess this is goodbye...for now" shauna steps up and pulls me into a hug "promise me you won't drink or attend those parties" I laugh along with her.

"Yeah...I won't have a drink without any of you" they all surround me. I pull back.

"Alright Four..." Zeke hits my back..." say bye everyone" they all wave. I'm left there standing with Zeke.

"Where's Tris?" I ask him. It's been a week since we...I guess broke up?

"She's not coming I guess...we invited her over but..." I look down. I stopped trying but that doesn't mean I've stopped waiting...

"Oh...well...tell her I say. Goodbye" I look up. He smiles a small smile.

"Okay" he pulls me into a brotherly hug "don't lose contact"
