TRIS' POV

After our little incident at the movie theaters me and Tobias went home and laid down on the couch. Ww just sat there in a comfortable silence, until I broke it that is.

"Toby, do you really mean the things about you fearing you'll be like your father when you get older?" 

"Did you just call me Toby?"

"Yes, don't change the subject answer my question!" I say and he nervously chuckles.

"Yeah, sometimes I get scared that I will hurt someone, who doesn't deserve it," he says, I turn to face him.

"But you haven't, and won't. Take a deep breath and relax, trust yourself," I say soothingly.

"But what if I'm not trustworthy?" he asks.

"I trust you, and I barely trust anyone, therefore meaning that you are trustwothy Tobias," I say and he embraces me into a warm bear hug.

"I don't deserve you Tris," he murmurs into my hair. I laugh at that.

"If anything I don't deserve you Toby, you're you and I'm just , well, me" I say and Tobias pulls back from the hug just enough to the point where he can look inot my eyes.

"Don't you ever say that, you are beautiful, smart, kind, brave, and truthful. As to where I am a coward." he says.

"You're not a coward, any person who can take a building and stay strong is brave, you're brave," I say putting my forehead to his.

"You're brave too,"

"We make each other brave," I say and he smiles and lightly brings his lips to mine. We pull apart and I lay my back against his chest, slowly my eyes grow heavy and they close sending me into a dreamless sleep.

*TIME LAPSE*

I wake up and slip out Tobias' arms careful not to wake him. I go upstairs and get ready for school. I grad black high waisted pants, a bright pink crop top that says '#TGIF' on it ans put on a pair of black keds with polka dots. 

Then I take my shower, put on my clothes and blow dry my hair. Being the lazy person I am I just leave my hair down. I walk downstairs and see a fully dressed and ready Tobias. He is wearing a navy blue shirt, jeans, and vans.

"Good morning!" I say jumping on his back, then I remember his beatings. "OMG! Did I hurt you?"

"Wha- Oh! No, I heal pretty quickly, I'm good," he says and turns to me, "I promise," he adds after seeing my face. I smile and stay on his back.

"Ready for the game against Panem High tonight?" I ask him, they are our bggest rivals, we are the two best schools in the district.

"As I'll ever be," he says.

"You'll be great, cause your amazingly talented cheer captain girlfriend will be cheering you on!" I say laughing.

"Wow, self centered much?" he says laughing too. 

"Wha-" I start to put a hand to my heart in mock hurt, but remember I am on his back. Too late I start to fall backwards, but he catches me, chuckling. "Thanks," I mummble.

*TIME LAPSE TO SCHOOL*

We meet our friends in the usual spot outside of school.

"Unicorns are better!" I hear Zeke shout.

"No, Zombies are!" Uriah argues. Tobias walks over to them.

"Ladies, ladies you're both beautiful," he says and Zeke rolls his eyes while Uri bats his eyelashes like a girl. "Plus I think we all know which are better," he says trailing off.

"Unicorns," I say and in perfect sync Tobias says, "Zombies," I raise my eyebrows at him.

"Zombies?!" "Unicorns?!" we say at the same time again. I look at my watch. Crap.

"We'll continue this conversation later, but for now, we should get to class," I say and they nod their heads in agreement. Four and I head to first period together.

{A/N new schedule cause I am to lazy to go back to the other one

History, Science, Music,-lunch- Language, Art, Math, Free! Okay back to the story!}

We take our once hated, but now loved assigned seats and the bell rings.

"Okay class, today we will be having debates, will someone please give me a topic," the teacher says and Four and I both raise our hands. The teacher points to Four.

"Are zombies or unicorns better?" he says with a smirk.

"I second that notion!" I say look at Tobias, a few others agree so we do it.

The whole class is spent arguing and of course, Unicorns win! I stick my tounge out at Toby and he rolls his eyes.
