Al's P.O.V during the kidnapping scene (Divergent)

The Scoreboard

One day we are walking back from the cafeteria and I notice the scoreboard.

"I thought there were no cuts after stage 2?" I say, I'm so worried.

"no it's just a check up." I feel a bit better until I see the score board

1. Tris

2. Peter

3. Drew

4. Christina

5. Molly

6. Will

7. Al

"nice job Tris." Will says. That's all I remember because I blank out and I come back to reality.

Peter shoves Tris against the wall and hisses something in her ear and Will grabs Peter by the collar and shoves him away.

"Leave her alone, only a cowered bullies a little girl!" Will says

"A little girl?"

"Are blind, or just stupid? She's going to edge you out of the rankings and out of Dauntles, and you're going to get nothing, all because she knows how to manipulate people and you don't! so when you realise that she's all out to ruin us, let me know."

Peter storms out of the dormitory and Molly and Drew follow.

"Thanks." Tris says to Will.

"Is he right, are you trying to manipulate us?" says Will quietly.

"How on earth could I do that? im just trying to do the best I can like you guys!" Tris shouts.

"I don't know, by acting weak so we pity you? And then acting tough to psych us out?" Will argues

"Psych you out? I'm your friend, I wouldn't do that!" Tris sounds really upset, but I agree with Will.

"Don't be an idiot, Will, she's not acting." Christina says with anger.

Christina and Will both walk out, leaving me and Tris alone.

"Are you alright?" Tris asks

"Sure."

"It's not over, you can improve your rank.... Tris looks awkward.

"See it's not that simple."

"I know it's not." Tris says sadly

"I don't think you do, for you it's easy, all of this is easy for you."

"That's not true!"

"Yeah it is, you aren't helping me by pretending it isn't. I'm not sure you can help me at all!" I yell.

"I just want to be on my own!" I sputter.

Tris walks away sadly.

I walk into to the cafeteria, not knowing if he will be there but it's the only chance I have.

Peter looks up from his cake and says "Welcome Albert, come have some cake." Peter pushes a plate of chocolate cake over to me and I sit down.

I sit down and I notice that Molly isn't there, that's quite weird.

"Hello Albert!" Drew says like we're best friends.

Peter lowers his voice, "Albert I know you want revenge, you want to make Tris hurt like she hurt us. You want to get her out of dauntless, don't you?"

I sigh deeply, "Yes." wait a minute no, no Al what are you thinking?!?!?!
