Divergent: No War

Apartments and Jobs

I wake up in Tobias's arms. I feel him watching me.

"That's kind of creepy you know," I say, he chuckles. I keep my eyes closed. "How much time do we have until we have to go pick jobs and apartments?" I ask.

"Like, two hours," he says. "Hey Tris, i was wondering, do you want to move in with me?" he asks.

"Of course!" I exclaim, kissing him.

"By the way, I'm moving to apartment forty-six," he says, I smile. He tilts my head up and kisses me softly. We lay there kissing for a while until our stomachs grumble. I pull back and giggle.

"I'm hungry," I say. He laughs.

"Me too," he says. I start to get out of the bed until he pulls me back. He kisses me and we both get up. I look around for some clothes, since I slept in leggings and a cami. I pick up my dark ripped jeans from the dresser and the low cut T-shirt. I also grab the leather jacket and my combat boots. I throw my hair in a high ponytail and take the mascara out of my pocket since Christina made me bring it "just in case." I also like to have a little bit of mascara. I stand at the mirror and open it just as Tobias walks in. He wraps his arms around from behind and I put it up to my eye. "Don't wear make up, I like you without it," he says. I close it and put it in my pocket. I set my hands on his and we stand there for a long time. I spin around and kiss him, then my stomach grumbles.

"I'm going to the dining hall," I say, grabbing his hand. We walk in together and see all our friends at our regular table. We go to the line and get our food. Hamburgers, Dauntless cake, fries, and water. We sit down.

"So how exactly did this happen?" Will asks, then Eric sits down right across from me. This table is a circle.

"Ya, I want to know, too," Eric says.

"Well when we did paintball, Four and I climbed the Ferris wheel together to look for Eric's team's flag. And he saved me," I say, I was about to continue but Tobias gave me a look. "Twice," I say, rolling my eyes. "Then he threw the knifes at me. I don't know, it just kind of clicked." I say, there's so much I have to hide about the beginning of our relationship. My Divergence, the Chasm, his fear landscape.

"Well I've liked her since I pulled her out of the net," Tobias says.

"Aww!" All the girls say.

"Wait, so that's where your two disappeared to at paintball?" Christina asks. We nod. "That's so cute! How'd he save you?"

"Well, the first time the wind pushed me off the ladder and he had to help me back on. The second time, we were climbing the actual wheel and the bar beneath me fell off, and he literally climbed all the down, turned the wheel on and I had to jump when I got close to the ground," I say, laughing. Eric scowls at his hamburger.

"You have an hour until you chose your jobs and apartments," Eric says, then stomps off.

"What's his problem?" Tobias says.

"You," Zeke says, a few of us laugh. Peter walks behind me and whispers in my ear.

"Watch your back, Stiff," he whispers. I can't believe he had the nerve to say that. I stand up.

"I cannot believe you had the nerve to say that! How dare you call me a Stiff? You got fifth, I got first, I am more Dauntless than you'll ever be. You better not call me 'Stiff' ever again or I-" He cuts me off.

"Stiff," he says. I swing at him, hitting him in the jaw and knocking him down. I get on top of him and start punching his face until I see blood. I stand up and kick him three times. In the face, in ribs, and in the stomach. I sit back down. Everyone stares at me in awe.
