"Beatrice?"

I gasp and turn around. All bad thoughts leave my head. Blue eyes. Those blue eyes! The ones I've been looking for. My mouth drops.

"Tobias?" I say, in shock. I run to him and fling myself into his arms. "Oh Toby! I haven't seen you in so long. I missed you so much!"

He wraps his strong arms around me, and I bury my head into his chest. "You too Beatrice." I breath in his scent. I missed him so much. "And my name is Four by the way."

I look up to him in confusion for a moment. A nick name I guess. I half smile and say, "My name's Tris now, anyways." He smiles and laughs. I take a step back from him.

"Gosh Tris, I haven't seen you in so long!" He frowns a bit, and I wonder why. I nod my head in agreement. "No you don't understand, anytime someone new came to town, I'd try to find you." I see he immediately regrets saying this, because his ears turn to a pink and he scratches his neck. Old habits stay with you.

I gasp again, remembering what Uriah said this morning. "So, Four," I start, testing out the nick name, "this kid named Uriah-I think- said we have all our classes together!"

I see his eyes light up for a moment, and he immediately covers it with a mask. I wonder why? "That's cool." I frown.

"Good seeing you, Four." I say turning away, and starting to walk. I let out a breath I didn't k ow I was holding.

"Tris Wait!" I smile and hide it as I turn around. I raise an eyebrow.

"Yes?" I say, still hiding that damn smile. He blinks for a few seconds, as if he's thinking what to say.

"You can call me Tobias. Only when it's us. It's nice to hear my name again." I smile. A real, genuine smile. Then I nod.

I turn and walk away, that smile still on my face. And I see that this is the happiest I have been in years.

And realization hits me.

I still like Tobias Eaton.

But I doubt he likes me back.
