"Today you're going to fight each other, one of you won't be fighting today." Four says writing names on a chalkboard.
I head to the board as he hangs it on the gray wall. Next to my name is blank, am I the one not fighting today? I smile in relief.
Christina vs Molly
What? Molly will beat her up, she's the tank. I turn to Christina who's looking at the board in disbelief.
"My first fight to the tank? I think they want me dead." I hear her say.
"You'll win this, I believe in you." I say, deep inside I know she won't win this fight.
"Don't lie to me, I was candor remember."
I bite my lip and Genevieve joins us. Behind her is Caitlyn standing. We all look at the direction where Peter, Molly and Drew are standing.
"I hate them."
"Who doesn't?" I roll my eyes. Four whistles and gets everyones attention.
"First one up, Peter against Andrew." he says and they go in the ring. I don't pay much attention, basically I don't care about them.
While they're playing with each other, I see the girl from the train again, by the door. I look at Four, his attention is mostly on the fight, so I walk over to her. We walk around the corner and we're out of sight. I inspect her jaw. It's still blackish but not as much as the first day.
"Hi, how is your jaw?" I ask politely.
"It's better now, thanks for asking." she replies touching her jaw for a second. "How's she doing? Is she still mad at me?"
"No, probably not, she isn't that kinda person that stays mad and keeps hatred towards another person." I say and she nods. "You know, you somehow, look, really familiar to me."
"What do you mean?" she asks.
"Just forget it, okay? I gotta go now, before someone notice I'm not there." She nods but before I walk away I ask "What's your name?"
"Chloe." she replies, I nod and walk away. I open the door, but there's nobody in the room. I look around me, maybe I entered the wrong room, but I see B1 written on the door. Where's everyone? I watch as a shadow disappears and Four enters the room.
"Four? Where did everyone go?" I ask, a shaking in my voice that I can't control when I talk to him. He's really intimidating, it scares me.
"If you stayed, you would've known." He says without even looking at me. He cleans up something, but I can't see what because his back is facing me.
"I am sorry, I had to get something out of my way." I reply looking at my fingers, I play with them when I'm nervous.
"Whatever it is, I don't think it's more important then training." He says. I can't see the look on his face, I can't see how his expression is right now.
"Actually it is." I fight back the urge to bite my lip.
"There's nothing more important then training, Tris." The way he says my name, it is attractive but narrow at the same time. "Anyway, I think you would want to visit your sister, she had a fight with molly-"
"What?!" My heart starts beating faster and my hands start to shake. I get tears in my eyes. "How can you be so calm while telling me this? Why didn't you stop it? Why did you let molly beat her up?"
"Calm down, I wanted to stop them but your sister-"
"Shut up." I say and without looking at him I leave the room.
--
"Where's Genevieve?" I yell at the who's looking like a nurse. Before she can answer me, I see Christina's head poking out of one of the hundred curtains. I run in, thinking she's all beat up, swollen face, black eyes, broken nose, but the only thing on her face are scratches. "He lied to me?"
