Its been a month now that I've been in the compound. I walk around the compound, just being bored. I walk onto the pity and a bunch of girls are going crazy and freaking out. They all run towards the hallway to get to the net. I run after them. When I get there, the are all looking at the screen intently

"OMG HE IS SO HOT!" Someone screams. I squeeze my way through to the front and look at the screen. I can't really see it though, my eyes are not doing good with the lighting of the dauntless compound. Then everything goes silent. I turn around and everyone is looking at me.

"That's Trouble. She's the strongest girl in the compound." Someone whispers.

"Yeah, I heard she took out Chase."

"Chase? Wasn't he the first in his initiation class?"

"Yeah, that Chase."

"I wonder if she knows who the boy is." They continue to murmur, but I dint bother to listen. I start walking away, and then I hear someone land on the net. By now I'm at the back of the crowd. I look back and see a boy jump off the net. I look at him closely. He has dark brown hair, and I can faintly see that his eyes are a bright green. My eyes widen in realization.

"No, it can't be." I whisper to myself. I keep my eye on him and start making my way through the crowd of girls again. I start off a slow walk, as if I get closer he will just disappear. But he stays, and I full out sprint when it actually goes through my head that its really him. I'm almost to the front if the crowd when he sees me. He literally pushes many girls out of the way to get to me. Once we reach each other, I slip my arms around his neck, and his go around my waist and we hold each other tight. Like when we let go we will both disappear into thin air. He buries his face into my hair, and my face is in the crook of his neck. "I can't believe your here." I tell him.

"I can't believe I found you." All of the girls are pouting, because if us hugging. They are all acting like little 8 year old amity girls. We pull back from the hug, just enough to look at each other in the eyes. "I missed you, Emily." I sniffle as my eyes water.

"I missed you too, (drum roll please.) ... Luke." He smiles, and I return it. "You need to tell me how you got here."

"I will, just I dont like all these girls staring at us. Is there anywhere else we could go?"

"Yeah, we can go to my place, come on." I pull him by the arm, trying to get by all of the girls.

"Wait!" A girl screams. "What makes you think you get him?" She asks.

"Yeah, I saw him first!" Another girl screams. I look at Like and we both start laughing at the same time.

"What's so funny?"

"First of all, I met this boy back in Boston. Second, I actually know his name, and third we aren't dating."

"And we never will, no offence, Em-"

"Trouble." I cut him off. He smirks.

"Isn't that the name Ashton made you?" I blush at that.

"Come on, lets just go." I pull him along, and push through all the girls. "I hope you can run better than the last time I saw you run."

"Why-" Before he could even finish I start running and he almost falls because I'm still holding his arm. He catches his balance and starts running with me through the halls. "Why are we running?"

"This is dauntless. Dauntless girls see a boy they like go off with a different girl, and she knows there just friends. The girl still wants the boy, which lead to..." You literally can here their screams outside of dauntless. "That." I finish. "Come on. Want to make it alive?" I run faster and he follows. I go the back hallways that are used less, and people don't know as well. It takes longer to get there, but we make it in one piece. When we walk through the doors I hear glass drop, making our heads turn. We look towards the kitchen, and there stands my mom, in complete shock. "Hey, mom." I say awkwardly.
