I stand up. Everyone's eyes are direct to me right away. I look around for a minute before walking forwards. We are not supposed to move until we are told to go with the rest if our group. But I don't care.
I'M A REBEL!
A rebel from Chicago who moved here because of her parents divorce. She is strong willed and has a soft heart. She has never broken a rule before. NEVER.
And now, the time has come to show everyone what she is made of. If she dies in the process, so be it. At least she does true to herself. True to her county. True to the the world. True to the entire galaxy. TRUE TO THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE!
She is, the unstoppable.

I walk in and out of the tables heading right for William. I can see the fear cross his face as I make my way up towards him. He snaps his fingers and two stand by soldiers step up. They walk towards me, away from William. I knew their planning on grabbing me so I can't reach him. So I make an alternative route. I swerve to the left as try go left as well. I burst into a sprint and head odd to the side of William.

Everyone watches me with a close eye, too afraid to move. I find an empty seat and climb up on top of it. I jump up on the table and make my stand.

"I'm sure you all know who I am. Maybe having seen me around here and there. But I'm not here to play. I'm finished. Completely done with all this bullshit that's going on around me. Whispers behind my back, pushing me to the ground, poking prodding at my arm, legs, hair. I'm finished." I pause and look around at everyone's blank faces.

"I resign. Take me hostage as you may try but I am one person only. And you," I gesture around me. "Are hundreds. Millions of others out there somewhere else. Who knows what they are doing right now. Who am I kidding? They could be singing in the shower right now for all I know." I get a few laughs and smiles from the other people seated down.

"But so for one, know who I am. Not Beatrice Prior from Chicago, that's for sure. You may call me who ever, or what ever you little heart desires." I pause and look over at Tobias. Tears run down his cheeks.

"I may be a little thin and I might not be the pristine at girl on earth but what gives? Did I do anything to upset you in any way?" A few people shakes their heads. "See this is what I'm talking about here. I'm Tris. And that it's no last name nothing. It's just Tris." I pause. The soldiers and coming at me again. I jump over a few heads scramble around and find my way towards the back of the tables.

"And let me tell you something." I pause again. "I am here to stay." A few hollers and waves come from the people. I'm getting through to them a little bit. Maybe I can convince the people to riot. Yeah. And my work is almost half done.

"I've never broken a rule today. And that was to stand up. For everyone sake just stand up. Everyone, come on." I guest ire for everyone to stand nobody does. Silence follows. Tobias is the first. I smile at him. I look at round at the others to figure out who will be next.

Victory. the girl called right before me jumps up onto her table. "I say we giver her a chance. We've all been picked on or Ben the one picking on someone in one way or another. Now's our time to shine. Our time to go against the rules. To rebel." Victory gives her short little speak to the crowd then turns around to face me.

"I stand with you." She speaks. I nod my head having made my first alliance. Then others stand up.

"We stand with you." A group of three guys stand up and speak at the same time. Seconds later everyone is chanting 'We stand with you.' Over and over again. Those two soldiers caught in the middle of this have nothing else to do but to return to William's side to protect him at the front if the cafeteria.

The crowd silences when I raise a single finger in the air, asking for them to pause their changing for a minute so so can speak again. "So what do you say? We break the rules. We rebel against the system. We escape this city together. Tell me?" I ask. Everyone screams of excitement and agreement. I hold up my finger once more and the crowd goes silent.

"We, are the unstoppable!" I raise a gift into the air.
