Chapter 1:
TRIS POV:
A year ago, today I chose Dauntless. A year ago I changed my whole life. I roll over, Tobias still fast asleep. I run my fingers over the Dauntless symbol on his back. I think back to a year ago and how I never thought I would end up falling in love with him, living with him, or spending the rest of my life with him. His body moves slightly, and I pause until his movement stops.
"Having fun, Tris?" His voice is groggy, and he is obviously still tired. I feel horrible for waking him up this early, when the choosing ceremony isn't for another two hours. "I'm sorry for waking you up, the ceremony isn't for another two hours." He turns to face me, his hands caressing my cheek as a faint smile takes over his face. He kisses my forehead and gets up, walking over to the kitchen, "Coffee?" He asks. I nod, and get up myself. The sun has barely become visible from his apartment, and I turn the lamp on for some light.
"Think there's gonna be Abnegation this year?" He asks. "No, Abnegation transfers are rare." I was the first transfer after Tobias, and I doubt there will be any more any time soon. He hands me some coffee, and I take a small sip. The taste of warm caramel fills my mouth and I smile. I quickly drink the cup and place it in the sink. "I'm going to go shower, then after you can shower. Then we can get food. Sounds good?" Tobias asks. I nod, and he presses a soft kiss against my lips before heading into the bathroom.
I scour the closet for something to wear. This year, me and Tobias decided to go by Four and Six, since it sounded better then my regular name. It takes me his whole shower to pick out a outfit, a tight red short sleeve shirt, black moto jeans, and red converse. I quickly hop into the shower, get changed and we head to the cafeteria.
-PAGEBREAK-
TOBIAS POV:
Once we arrive at the cafeteria, almost every table is occupied. Me and Tris quickly make it over to the table , Zeke, Marlene, Christina, Will, Shauna and Lynn. Almost everyone has finished their breakfast. Uriah is hosting the ceremony, so he isn't with us. "Took you two long enough, a bit of morning fun?" Zeke winks as he finishes his sentence. Tris rolls her eyes. We still haven't had sex, yet.
"I'm going to grab us some strawberries and pancakes, O.K?" I ask Tris. "Sounds great" She replies with a smile. I kiss her forehead and go grab us food. I pile our plates high with chocolate chip pancakes and strawberries. I grab Tris a glass of her favorite chocolate milk and head back to the table. Everyone is laughing. Uriah is talking about how fun it is being a leader, and how hes happy with his choice. This year, Will and Christina are training Dauntless-borns aside from their regular jobs.
"Tris, you think there's gonna be any more stiffs like you?" Shauna teases. We all laugh. Most of us bet on which Dauntless-borns we think are gonna stay and which ones are gonna leave. "I can't wait to be big and scary like Four and scare the initiates." Tris says, with a slightly evil smile. I laugh, cause I know she is far from intimidating. By the time me and Tris have licked our plates clean, it is already 6:30, with a half-hour left until the choosing ceremony, which Uriah has the luxury of hosting.
We get Uriah on a call, he is getting ready at his apartment, about to leave. "I'm kind of scared this year." Uriah says. "I have a big responsibility, what if i mispronounce a name? OR worse- My hair gets messed up?" His joke makes us laugh, and Marlene laughs into the phone. "You'll do fine." She reassures. Everyone nods in agreement. I've known Uriah since I met Zeke three years ago, and I know hes capable of a lot. Marlene hangs up, so Uriah can finish getting ready. "I think there will definitely be Candor!" Christina says with excitement. "I'd love to see some familiar faces." Marlene rolls her eyes. "We DO NOT need more of you!" Tris giggles at Marlene's Joke
"I dare an initiate to question our names, I dare them." I say fiercely, trying to not laugh at myself. Tris has softened me up, and I hope I'm not too nice to the initiates this year. They need to know who's boss. "Who's gonna be first jumper?" Lynn asks, which I don't think any of us had thought off yet. "DAUNTTTLESSSS" Zeke shrieks. The cafeteria is silent for a couple seconds before everyone returns to their food. "Last year it wasn't Dauntless, so why this year?" Will asks. "Dauntless is superior! I know it'll be a Dauntless."
"I bet it's gonna be Corrine!" Zeke says, referring to one of the Dauntless-borns. Tris wrinkles her nose. "It's going to be a transfer, I know it." She says, with a hint of confidence in her voice. Casual conversation continues, until we realize it is 7:15, and we realize we missed part of the ceremony. We all scramble to go watch the ceremony, eager to see who chooses Dauntless.
