Tobias pov

Once I walk in to the dormitories, everyone is circled around Peter. He holds a piece of paper.

"The mass exodus of the children of Abnegation leaders cannot be ignored or attributed to coincidence," he reads . What is this? "The recent transfer of Tobias Eaton, the child of Marcus Eaton, calls into question the soundness of Abnegation's values and teachings." Peter finishes, looking up at me and smirks.

Everyone looks at me. I have to defend my self, they can't know that the guy they just read about is me, they just can't."why are you looking at me?" I snap at them. They look away immediately- well everyone but Peter. He keeps smirking, then looks back down at the paper and continues reading.

"Why else would the child of such an Important man decide on leaving? " Peter continues. "Molly Atwood, a Dauntless initiate, suggests another disturbed transfer from Abnegation. He calls himself "Four" she is not sure who he actually is, but she says that he might have had a disturbed and abusive upbringing. 'I once heard him talking in his sleep. He was muttering about his father to stop doing something, and his mother not to leave. I'm not sure what it was, but it was enough to give him nightmares.'"

So this was Peter's revenge on me. Edward got stabbed in the eye, and I get my old faction being called abusive, and myself almost being outed about my real name, and past. I thought Christina stopped the guy from asking questions, I guess not.

Peter is about to start reading again, but I stalk up to him, rip the paper out of his hands, tare it to shreds, and punch Peter in the face. Everyone gasps.

Will has to grab my arms and pull me out of the dormitory. I am still trying to get my fist to come into contact with something. I need to hit him, I just have to.

"What are you doing? I need to get back in there and defend my self, and my faction." I scream at Will, making him step back. "Do you think I can't defend my self, huh?"

Will puts his hands up. "No, dude. I know you can beat him, I've seen it with my own eyes, I was just stoping a brawl in the bedrooms." I nod at his words, but I am still breathing heavily and I'm guessing my face is bright red. "And that is your exfaction not your faction. You are here now." Again I nod. I didn't mean to call it my Faction, but I can't help it, it just slipped.

"Did you know that Tobias guy?" Will asks. I'm so glad he hasn't made the connection that when the reporter was coming he asked about Tobias, and Tobias is the guy who transferred, and I am the only other transfer from Dauntless- well except for Six, obviously.

"Like a brother," is all I say. Will opens his mouth to say something, but the door opens and Christina and Al walk out.

"It's my turn to get a tattoo," Christina says with confidence. Will, Al, and I look at each other and shrug. I need a distraction, and I guess this is a good start.

Ahead of me, Al gives Christina a piggyback. She shrikes as he charges through the crowd. People don't even acknowledge him, they must see things like that a lot.

My back still burns, right between my shoulder blades. I got the first part of my tattoo today. Tori decided to start on the Dauntless tattoo so I could walk around shirtless. I won't do that often, but I am now. Christina "accidentally" through my shirt into the chasm before I had a chance to put it back on after my tattoo.

Will and I walk behind Christina and Al.

Will shakes his head. "I still can't believe you got another tattoo,"
