Tris POV:
Christina and I walk into the forest to the water springs. The spring has little waterfalls, smooth rocks in the water, and beautiful flowers. When we reach the spot Christina taakes off her shoes and puts her feet in the spring. I take off my shoes and jump on the smooth rock in the spring.
"Remember that song we used to sing about Caleb? We used to call him John." Christina asks me.
John is our little brother. Christina is not our biological sister but when she was young, someone left her on our doorstep. Ever since she's been our sister. That's the story our mother told us.
"His name is my name too." I say.
"John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt,
His name is my name too.
Whenever we go out,
The people always shout,
"John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!"
Da da da da da da da da." Christina and I sing.
I step on another rock.
"John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt!" I hear someone yell.
"His name is my name too!" Christina and I call back.
Tobias walks up to us and smiles.
"Stalker much?" Christina says.
"I can stalk whoever I want to stalk." He says. "Not that I'm stalking or anything."
"Mhmm." Christina and I sound in unison.
"So, what are we doing?" Tobias asks us.
"We?" I ask him.
"I figured that if I want to..." He mumbles the last part.
"What?" I ask him.
"Uh...I just said, that is we should become friends we have to start from somewhere." He says unconvincingly.
I look at him, skeptically.
I hop on another rock.
"John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt." I say softly.
"His name is my name too." Tobias says back.
Then Prince Zeke and Uriah come here running with three girls. Surprised by their presents I slip and fall into the spring.
They laugh at me and my cheeks redden.
"I think you should go. We wouldn't want you raining on our royal parade." Princess Lauren says.
I get out of the water and walk through the path I came.
I hear footsteps behind me and I quickly climb a tree.
"Where'd she go?" Tobias asks.
"Look up." Christina says.
He looks up and waves at me. I roll my eyes and climb down the tree.
"I'll just be over here." Christina says and walks away.
"Did you bring your friends to laugh at us? Just a couple of dumb maids?" I ask him.
"No, I guess they followed me."
"And what's she doing here!?!"
"She?"
"Lauren! Is she your new girlfriend?"
"Someone's jealous."
I slap him.
"Okay. First, She's not my girlfriend. And second, Ow!" He says.
He grabs my hand and I pull it back. He grabs both my hand this time.
"Tris, I didn't mean to embarass you. But I think it's kinda cute."
I climb the tree again smiling.
"Okay. I'll think about it and--" I say and I slip.
He catches me.
"I already have you falling for me." Tobias says.
He smirks and sets me down.
"I'll see you later." Tobias says and walks away.
I wake in the direction Christina was walking and Lauren stops me.
"I want you to back off of Tobias. Got it?" She says.
I want to say something I know I shouldn't but she will get me fired. I make no notion or signal.
I bow my head and scurry off to Christina.
