Betrayal

Chapter 8

"So how you feeling about fighting Goliath?" Peter asks seeming fully interested in his sandwich.

"I'm not worried about it." I say biting into my sandwich. "I'm more worried about To-Four burning a hole in my forehead."

"HA" Peter basically snorts out.

"Peter that was disgusting." Another transfer, Christina I think, says.

"You know you like it, Christina." Peter says wiggling his eyebrow.

"Dude, she's from Candor, she doesn't lie." Her boyfriend, Will, says.

"Wow, Candor, letting your boyfriend stand up for you." A deep voice says from behind me. I look at Tobias and see him staring at whoever is standing behind me, clenching his jaw.

"Eric!" I squeal, turning around and hugging him. I feel his big warm arms engulf me in a hug.

"Hey bunny." He says lifting me from my seat.

"How long are we going to keep this up?" Eric whispers so only I can hear.

"I personally think it's great seeing him squirm. But you have the power to end it at anytime." I whisper back.

"I don't think that will be necessary." Eric says before pecking my lips and placing me back on the bench, before walking away.

"What was that?" Peter asks, all of the Dauntless gaping at Eric and I.

"Nothing," I say smirking.

"Trust me, I know know that was not 'Nothing'" Christina says putting air quotes around nothing.

"I think it's the start of something good." I say before getting up to go to the training room.
