Right? --A Fourtris/Tris Pedrad Story

Chapter 31

Tris
We still don't know who's training with who this year. I don't know if I would rather train with Uriah or Tobias. I've never trained with Tobias before. Max is supposed to tell us at breakfast today.

I slip on some leggings and a flowy crop top. My hair is in its usual tight ponytail.

I sit down on the bench between Tobias and Uriah. "Did Max day anything yet?" I ask. They nod. "You're with me, " Tobias says and I nod. "I'm assuming transfers because there's two of us." he nods. "You're with him in more than one way now, " Shauna says, sitting down with a bunch of pancakes. Her plate rests on her large stomach.

She's about seven and a half months pregnant. Zeke is absolutely ecstatic. They both think it's going to be a boy, but almost everyone else thinks its a girl. I think boy along with them and Marlene. I'm gonna be an aunt soon!

"Haha, very funny, " Tobias says sarcastically. "Are you not?" Marlene questions, knowing that we're still together. "Put a cork in it, " I reply with a small laugh. "At least I get borns this year, " Uriah says, trying to rub it in our face. "Let's hope we don't have someone attempt murder this time, " I mumble. "Huh?" Zeke asks. I shake my head. "Nothing, " I mumble and Tobias looks my way, but says nothing.

Uriah, Tobias, and I all head to the net to wait for the initiates. Uriah pulls us down a deserted hall. "I need your help," he says, reaching into his back pocket. "The two of you need to make sure Mar is by the net when I jump." He pulls out a small, velvet box. An engagement ring. Tobias and I look at each other, smiling. We nod and he smiles.

"Thank you so much." We nod. This is gonna be awesome. "No problem, " I reply and we walk back off towards the net. He's giving the speech this year. At least he'll make sure it isn't boring as hell.

Tobias and I stand under the net, leaning against the wall. They shouldn't be here for another half hour. "Don't tell them about us, " I say, breaking the silence. He nods. "Then I'll do this now." He turns and presses his lips firmly against mine, pushing his body against mine.

He smiles against my lips and I do the same. I lightly push him back and he chuckles, leaning back against the wall next to me. "That might have to wait, " I say, a smirk growing on my face. "I can live with that." We like just teasing each other. Just because we aren't very intimate, doesn't mean we can't joke about it.

Mar, Zeke, and Shauna walk over to us and lean against the wall next to me. I wish Lynn didn't work at the fence. She doesn't have to work as much as she does, but she does it anyway because she loves it. I love my work too. We all do.

"I hope there's nobody like Eric this time, " Shauna complains. "Or a Peter." I spit his name like venom. He's not in the landscape anymore, but I still hate him. "He's lucky he ran off, " Tobias growls. "I don't know what you just said but it's probably threatening, " Marlene says. He nods. "If I ever see him again, I swear," he grumbles. They all hear him, but try to ignore it.

I hear Uriah start talking. "Uriah said he needed to talk to you and to have you wait below the net, " I tell Marlene. A nervous look crosses her face. "I'm sure it's nothing," Tobias says in an effort to calm her down. She nods nervously. The three of us walk close to the net.

"Who's first?" I hear Uriah call faintly. I don't hear anything else. Tobias looks over at me. "You think we'll have any abnegation?" He shrugs. "I don't think so." It's really rare. Haven't had one since him. I personally think they're scared of us.

There is a girly shriek as a blue blob bounces up and down on the net. I reach my hands out and large, soft hand grab them. His brown eyes meet mine and he winks. "Name, " I command. "What's yours?" He asks. "Fuck off. I'll pick your name if you don't say it," I reply. He grumbles something under his breath. "Carson," he answers.
