He walks toward his bunk, but at the last second, he whips around and shoves me against a wall, a hand on each of my shoulders.

"I will not be outranked by a Stiff," he hisses, his face so close to mine I can smell his stale breath. "How did you do it, huh? How the hell did you do it?"

At first I can think of nothing to say. My mind draws a blank and I'm hoping he will let me go when he shoves me harder against the wall a second time.

"Get off me," I heard come out of my mouth. I hadn't expected it all. I was shocked and I could tell so was he. I saw Will, who was coming behind him, stop. I balled my hand into a fist and pushed my middle finger out for leverage. I was beginning to believe that my body was working on its own because I hadn't planned any of this. I wasn't thinking it because I was kind of terrified that he would kill me. Being in Dauntless might be making me braver but not this brave. Or this stupid. And going up against Peter, as big as he was compared to me would be stupid.

"What did you say Stiff?"

"You heard me, get off." My balled up fist came up and went straight for his throat. He was so shocked and temporarily chocking he did in fact let me go and I fell to the ground with an unceremonious thud. The girl in me winced and owwed but whoever it was that was running my body right now stood up and massaged my neck, looking at him as he rubbed at his throat.

"Bitch!"

"No," my voice said not of my own volition, "you're the Bitch. You think your big picking on a girl. That's right; I'm still just a girl that for some reason intimidates the hell out of you. Ever since we got here you've done nothing but pick on and at me. You want to really know how I outrank you, it's easy really. I think of how much I hate you. How much I'd like to see you beg for mercy and it makes me smile. I think of how much I would love to put a bullet in your filth spewing mouth and it brings me joy. Every time, and it is every single time that I go into that ring, pick up a gun or throw knives, I think of this very moment and how much you will hate being beat by me."

"I hate you!" he screamed at me. I refused to give him any other satisfaction or the opportunity to say anything else to me.

"Feeling's mutual Bitch," I said walking away and out of the dormitory.

I'm not sure who or what took over my body but I kind of liked standing up for myself. It felt good to put Peter in his place without help and that pathetic look they keep giving me. I know I'm small and not exactly the type to be considered Dauntless but I am Dauntless and I'm Divergent; damn it, right now I am totally awesome and I'm loving it! I heard steps behind me and turned to see Will and Christina without Al.

"I can't believe you just did that," Will said shaking his head at me.

"I can, you were awesome!" Christina said hugging me. "I totally wish it were me but it so rocked that it was you. You are my new hero….again!"

So, I know it was short but I just wanted to do this. Review at your will but I hope you enjoyed!
