Chapter 1
TRIS'S POV
When I chose dauntless at the choosing ceremony, I had no idea what I was signing up for. As soon as the ceremony was over, I see all the dauntless people running to the train. They are all running and jumping onto the train so I do that as well. After awhile this girl next to me starts to talk to me.
"Hi, my names Christina" she says.
One of the older dauntless people tell us to get ready. I ask get ready for what, but she never told me. I look out the train and I see people jumping out of the train. I turn to Christina and say, "They are jumping off the train."
" Are you serious?" she says with terror on her face.
I look to her and say " Let's jump together." She grabs my hand and before I knew it, we were smacking onto the hard rooftop. When we walk up to the edge, I see this guy with tattoos up his neck. He looks at all of us and said "Welcome initiates, to enter dauntless, you gotta jump off this roof into the hole down there."
" Is there something at the bottom?" A kid in blue said.
"Guess your just gonna have to find out yourself." says Eric "so who is going to be the first to jump?"
Before I can even think of what's happening I hear words starts to come out of my mouth. " I am"
I start to get all these looks and then I remember, I am in all grey. I start to walk towards the ledge we are suppose to jump off. I breathe for a moment and then I jump off the building. As I am falling through the air I hit a net really hard that I bounce back up a couple of times. As I go towards the end of the net I see a really cute boy. He pulls me off the net and makes sure I am on my feet.
" What's your name?" He says in this very deep voice. I lose my train of thought and then I realized that I am just staring at him.
"Tris." I say. I want to restart my life and Beatrice just doesn't sound very dauntless.
"Welcome to Dauntless." He says with a small smile. Then he realized that he smiled and automatically changed back to the intense stare he had.
I walk away and the rest of the transfers start jumping. By the time they all jump we head into what looks like the training room. The guy who help me down from the net stands in front of the transfers.
"Hi, my name is Four. I will be your instructor. Normally I work in the control room. But for now, I am your instructor. Dauntless-born goes with Lauren and the transfers stay with me."
I am kind of excited that he gets to be my instructor. He is the first boy I actually find him cute. Since I am from abnegation, I wasn't really able to think of guys like that because it is selfish. But with him for some reason, I can't help but like him. But there is no possible way he could like me back.
