       Lamar and I decide to jump on the train at separate times and not let anyone know that we are- I don't know, great friends, I don't throw labels like 'boyfriend' around like they don't mean anything.

 We decide that he should jump on first and I jump on a few minutes later so I don't miss it.

        When I land on the train, I am crowded by people, I see someone pushing through the crowd towards me. The Dauntless-born kid. I begin to walk away, I feel hands on my hips, I try to pull away, the hands squeeze my hips and pull me back.

        "Get away from me." I demand, I don't want to talk to him, I don't want Lamar to see me with him, I just don't want to be any-where near him.

        "No, my love will not die, don't avoid it." he says. "And I've realized that I haven't introduced myself, I'm Jaden."

        "Well, Jaden." I say, turning around. I grab his wrists. "If you want to keep your hands, I suggest you remove them from my body."

        "Why? What harm could you do to me?" He says, his hands are moving up to the top of my leggings, his fingers slip under the top of them. "I believe that we belong together, you know, our names are alike. Jade, Jaden."

        "I don't care, get away from me." I raise my right hand and ball it into a fist, I will punch him.

        He smirks and leans closer to me, he begins kissing my neck, working his way up to my jaw. I punch his shoulder, he doesn't move. I punch his neck, Jaden grunts and kisses my chin. He presses me up against a wall, no-one is paying any attention, of course. I punch him in the ear, he pulls back and smiles at me.

        "I can tell you've been doing well in your fights." He says, he leans closer to  me again. I lift my leg, his hands are behind me now, moving down. I knee him in the side, he grunts again, his face is right in front of mine, I move my head as much as I can to the right. His mouth is pressed to my cheek. He pulls back again. "What's wrong?"

        "Get away from me." I lift my leg and knee him again. I see Lamar walking towards us. "Take your hands off of me."

        He smiles and leans in again. He is stopped by Lamar grabbing his shoulder and punching him in the head. Jaden falls to the floor, still awake. He crawls away and gets up when he reaches the opposite side of the train.

        "You okay?" Lamar asks.

        I brush off. "Yeah. I wish he'd just leave me alone."

        "Me too."

        "I don't understand why he doesn't get it."

        "Some Dauntless kids are like that, they see a girl they like and they go for it, doing everything they can to her."

        "Sounds scary." I smile a little.

        "Believe me, it is." He smiles back. "See you in a few minutes, do you want to get of first or second?"

        "I'd rather not have any favors from Stephanie."

        "Okay, I'll get us on the first team, try to find a strategy." He walks to the middle of the train-car. "Initiates!" He yells. "You will be split into two teams to play Capture the Flag, this is a Dauntless tradition so I suggest you take it seriously."

        Stephanie steps in-front of him, "I will pick my team first."

        "I don't want any favors." I hear Lamar say.
