I go into the hallway and head towards Peter's scream. When I get to where everyone has gathered around, I see that Peter is slumped on the floor with his back against the wall, clutching the arm that he got shot in.

And then there's Tris, getting held back by one of the Amity, kicking and yelling threats at Peter.

"He took the flash drive from me! He has it!" She yells at me.

Without saying a word, I walk over to where Peter is sitting, groaning slightly, push my foot down on his stomach so he can't move, and take the flash drive out of his possession.

"This wasn't very smart of you. We won't always be in the safety of Amity." I say to him. Then my eyes drift to Tris. "Not very smart of you either. Do you want to get us kicked out?"

She doesn't acknowledge me, simply hangs her head, probably because she knows I'm right.

And then it seems that she's just now noticing that someone is holding her. "Let go of me!" she yells as he begins taking her down the hallway. "Where are you taking me?!"

"You have violated the terms of our agreement. We have to stick to protocol." He tells her bluntly.

I should probably be wary of her being taken somewhere I won't be by someone in a faction I don't belong to to a room I've never seen to do God knows what - and in any other situation I probably would've been - but since this is Amity, they will most likely simply calm her down, which is what she needs right now.

Tris is still trying to get out of the man's grasp when I say, "Let them take you. You need to cool down." And then I look away, because I don't want to see the hurt look on her face.

After the hallway is cleared out and I make sure Tris's flash drive is safely put away in her room, I retreat to the Orchard, relishing the heat and strikingly beautiful and vibrant colors.

I spot several children running around playing tag or hide and seek or whatever kids do nowadays and I do my best to avoid looking at even too long in fear of becoming envious of their happy childhoods in their perfect families and flawless homes-

I must've been staring too long.

"Four!" I hear out of nowhere. It's obviously Tris, but she sounds different.

"Tris?" Just when I'm about to turn to the sound of her voice, I spot Tris walking up to me with a spring in her step.

Something is defintely wrong.

She comes up to me, well more like stumbles into me and almost falls on her face. But if course I'm quick to catch her so instead of falling on her face, she giggles and gets close to my face and gives me a stupidity seductive look.

"What did they-" Before I can finish my question, she brings my mouth to hers and kisses me. I kiss her back. I can't reject her but it's hard to lose myself when she's like this, so I pull back.

"That was lame."She bites her lip. "Well, no it wasn't, but-" She tries to pull me into another kiss but this time I do pull away.

"Tris!" I say, attempting to get her attention. "What did they do to you?! You're acting like a lunatic."

"That's not very nice." She pouts. But soon after, her pout turns into a grin. "They put me in a good mood, and I really want to kiss you. So if you could just relax..."

"I'm not going to kiss you." I would in any other circumstance. "I'm going to find out what's going on."

Tris just stands there when I say that, pushing her lower lip out. But of course, it ends up transforming into a grin." So that's why you like me so much! Because you're not very nice either! It makes so much more sense now."

"Come on." I say, already beginning to walk. "Right now we're going to see Johanna."

But I might as well be talking to a wall, because she just stands there." I like you too."

"Well that's encouraging. Come on. Oh for God's sake I'll just carry you." I pick her up and swing her over my shoulder, and after all of this, she kicks her legs back and forth.

I roll my eyes and start off in the direction of Johanna's office.
