"I know Tobias! I love you! Of course I won't go if you don't want me to. I don't even want to go and see Caleb. He's dead to me!" I lie.

Tobias looks relieved.

"Thank God, because I love to too, Tris, more than anything. It would have killed me to break up with you." He says, looking into my eyes.

I want to drop my gaze, he's making me feel so awful but I have to go. Everyone says faction before blood but this might be the exception.

Tobias puts an arm around my waist and I lean into him. It's getting late and everyone's coming out of the dining room. Delly and Uriah are deep in conversation, as are Gale, Katniss and Peeta. Christina is humming and Tobias and I walk together. Tobias kisses me goodnight and heads off to this apartment. I nudge Uriah.

"Take Peeta and Gale to your dorm. Christina and I will take Katniss and Delly to ours." I tell him.

"Oh, ok. Night Delly, night everyone." He says, breaking off from his conversation and taking Gale and Peeta down the corridor.

Around half an hour later I lay in the bottom bunk of a comfy bed in our new dorm. The male and female initiates used to share during initiation but when we became full Dauntless members we were split into 2 rooms. Christina lies in the top bunk and I hear her breathing slow. I go to the bathroom down the hall and turn on the light. I reread Caleb's letter. I need to know the details if I'm going to meet him.
