So basically, I don't own divergent, veronica roth does (bow down to the queen).
I opened my eyes grudgingly to bright morning light and the words "fear god alone" painted on a wall. Tobias's room. Oh, I came back here with him after the initiation last night. After I kissed him in front of everybody. The thought of being dauntless combined with everybody now knowing about us cause butterflies in my stomach. Or maybe that was hunger.
"tobias, wake up. Breakfast time" I said to the lump of blankets on the floor. He stirred, and opened one sleepy eye at me. "okay, give me a minute" he replied with a yawn.
Five minuted later we were entering the pit to find some food, hand in hand. I spotted Christina and will several feet away from us, and pulled tobias towards them.
"morning!" Christina shouted cheerfully to us, then glanced down at our hands, which were still tightly clasped. "you know, just because im not holding a grudge for not telling me about this doesn't mean you get to have such pda all the time" she said, and although she was smiling, I could tell some part of her wasn't totally joking. She had been kind of annoyed at me last night, but luckily had moved on quickly enough. Im glad, too, because I don't want to recreate the walls we had so recently knocked down between us.
" oh like you can talk! You and will are practically always making out!" I said. We both blushed, then broke out in laughter. "I guess your right" she says, still laughing.
A growl in my stomach brings me back to what im here for; food. 'do you guys want to get some breakfast with us?" I say. They say yes, and we spend the next hour of the day talking and laughing. For the second time since last night, im aware of how light I feel, of the weight that has been lifted off of me. I am dauntless. And what better way to make it official then to get a new job and apartment here, to start my new life?
PAGE BREAK!
I walk into the pit, biting my nails nervously. I know my nervousness is unreasonable because I can have any job I want, but the feeling comes anyways. I look up to a small stage where eric stands, talking about bravery and courage and the true meaning of dauntless, and everything else he probably thinks is bull. Finally, I hear him say "and now we will begin the choosing. First is our best initite, tris!" his voice is full of false enthusiasm, and I hate it. I climb up on stage and he hands me the microphone.
"I choose to be an ambassador, and to train transfer intitiates with four" I announce. I search the crowd for the eyes of the people I care about. Luckily, chistina, tobias, and everybody else looks perfectly happy with my decision.
Gradually they go through list of initiates, and once they've reached the last few, who are automatically fence gaurds, me and tobias leave to find my new apartment. It's a large space with lots of light, which I don't quite understand seeing as we must be underground. Its nice anywys, and I like it. I turn towards tobias, and he looks down at me, like he's searching for something in my eyes. After a moment he pulls me in, and we kiss. Whether it is minutes or hours or days later that we pull apart, I don't know. What I do know is that finally I feel so free, so happy, like tobias has pulled me out of all of my worries, and into a life where everything is going to be okay as long as he is beside me. Or maybe I pulled myself out of my worries, and he has just been there with me the whole time. I don't really care which one it is though. My eyes meet his again, and I rise up once more, my lips meeting his, and we are like two pieces in a puzzle. We fit together perfectly.
There you go, chapter 1! Nice bit of fluff there at the end for you. Please review! I know not much happened so far, but I swear ill have stuff happen soon.
