A New Beginning

12

I woke up early. I checked the time. 5 am. I quietly got up. I slipped on a sweater and left a note for Tobias so he wouldn't freak out. I went to the training room. I started training. Initiates were supposed to be coming in today. I started on knives. You never know. We might have a smart mouth kid like I was. I threw one straight down the middle.

"Best knife thrower in all of Dauntless." Zeke said. "What are you doing up so early?"

"What are you doing up so early?" I asked

"I wake up early all the time." Zeke said

"I'm just practicing."

"Or training to out beat someone. Or maybe trying to impress someone. Or maybe you are trying to get back at Four."

I threw a knife at head of the board.

"Get back at him for what?" I hissed

"I shouldn't have said that." Zeke said

"What did he do?"

"He kissed Mar."

I threw another knife at the board.

"It was a dare and he kissed her."

I saw Four come into the training room. I threw the last knife at the board and ran out. I ran to Uriah's apartment. By the time I got there, my eyes were red and puffy from crying. He opened the door and let me in. He closed the door and held me close.

"What happened?" Uriah asked

"I can't believe he would do that to me. I can't believe he would cheat on me." I whispered

"I couldn't believe it either Tris."

We walked to the net and waited for the initiates. We had 7 dauntless and 8 transfers. I had the transfers this year with Uriah. I gave the transfers a tour then went to their dorm.

"Be in the dinning hall in 5." I said

I went to the dinning hall and sat with Uriah and Zeke.

"Did you hear what she did Uri? She shattered the knife board." Zeke said

"Was this before or after you told her?" Uriah asked

"After. I fixed it but it was pretty funny." Zeke said

Four sat down next to me. I stood up and walked out. Four followed me. Uriah and Zeke followed behind him. He grabbed my arm.

"Why are you avoiding me?" He yelled

Zeke pried him off of me and Uriah stepped over to me.

"I want to know what the hell is going on here." Four asked

"You know exactly why she's avoiding you." Uriah hissed

"You remember when Tris was missing when we played dare in my apartment, when you cheated on Tris with Mar?" Zeke said

"What?" Four yelled

"I don't want to talk to you. Ever. Again." I whispered

I walked to the training room with Uriah trailing behind me. I grabbed a knife and threw it at an already shattered knife board.

"I have never seen you this mad before." Uriah said

"I can't believe he would do this to me." I whispered

"I couldn't believe it either. " Uriah said

I was about to throw another knife but I let it slip out of my hands and drop on the floor.
