Hey Ya'll! It's time for another story! I promise to continue with my other stories but I just have to write what I get inspiration for and today it's this story.

What to wear? Should I wear my usual black leggings and long burgundy tank with knee high black boots? No. Today is special. It's my best friend's choosing ceremony and I've got to look nice.
Gregory Saunders has been my best friend since my very first day of school when I was 5. He's a year older than I am but that doesn't matter to us. My other friends (Byron, Naiomi, and Quinn) love him and that's huge to me. He always sticks up for me when people call me a living brain for being in a class higher than I'm supposed to be. He is what some girls would consider handsome. He has shaggy black hair and silvery grey eyes. He is short for a guy but still quite a bit taller than me and is very strong. He has an 18 year old sister named Marie that transferred from their home faction (Candor) to dauntless two years ago. I really haven't talked to her much since she transferred.
Byron, Naiomi, and Quinn are all the children of my Aunts and Uncles. Byron Pedrad's the son of my Uncle Uriah and Aunt Marlene. He's an only child and acts like one too. He always gets whatever he wants and is not used to sharing anything, especially Dauntless Cake. He's 16 years old and is also going to be choosing today. He's the life of the party and always tells the truth. He's tall with dark skin and black buzzed hair and chocolate brown eyes. Naiomi Pedrad is his cousin. She is the daughter to my Uncle Zeke and Aunt Shauna. She is my age and has always wanted to be older. She will always stick up for a friend no matter what. I'm afraid it's going to get her killed one day. Don't get on Naiomi's bad side though, she believes in revenge to the fullest extent. She is tall with dark skin and has pin straight black hair with red tips that goes a little below her shoulders. She is often referred to as Byron's sister although she is not. She has silver stud in her nose. Her best friend is Quinn Atkins. Quinn is the daughter of my Uncle Will and Aunt Christina. She has a 13 year old little sister named Ali. They have a complicated relationship to say the least. Quinn just turned 16 a week ago and she is choosing today also. She loves fashion almost as much as her mom and has a HUGE closet. She is a huge spitfire. She is fairly tall (at least compared to me). She has hip length blond hair that has chunky purple streaks in it and deep blue eyes. Her ears are pierced.
Maybe I should take a step back. My name is Piper Lee Eaton. I'm 15 years old and my parents are Tobias and Tris Eaton (AKA Four and Six). I have a little brother named Ryker and he's 13. I live in the Dauntless faction. I have long blonde hair like my mother and big navy blue eyes like my father. I'm very small, some would say petite. I'm so self-conscious of my small bust that it's crazy. It's got to be my least favorite thing about myself.
Naiomi and Quinn say that Gregory and I are meant to be together. I don't believe it. He flirts with everybody but they only see him flirt with me. It's like they have tunnel vision or something.
I decide to wear my favorite loose fitting Black dress that stops just above the knees with a line of buttons down the front until its high waist. The best thing about the dress is that it has pockets. I also decide to wear my dark purple ankle boots. I throw on a set of silver bangles and pull my hair into a high ponytail. I put on the makeup Aunt Christina got me that I never wear, pink lipgloss, mascara, and thick eyeliner. I think I'm ready.
I let my parents know that I'm going to go to the choosing ceremony and go meet Naiomi, Byron and Quinn by the Train. This is potentially the last time that I will see Byron and Quinn so I give them each a big hug and tell them that whatever they choose I will be proud.
The train comes barreling down the tracks and I get on right away. My friends need no help getting on the train, we've been doing this for years. On the whole ride to the hub we try to get Byron and Quinn to give up what faction they are going to pick. They don't. About 30 minutes later, as we are hopping off the train, a thought hits me. What if I never see Gregory again? I don't know if I could handle that. He's been my best friend and confidant for so long that I know that I need him in my life. No, I don't need him romantically or anything, but I think I forgot what it's like not to know him. I run to the hub leaving my friends in the dust. I have to find Gregory.
I find him near the front of the line of Candors waiting to get into the hub. He's talking to a fellow 16 year old Candor that I can't recall the name of. I run over to him and envelop him in a hug.
"Heya Piper. What's that for?" I caught him off guard.
"For being my best friend and because I might not see you again after today." A tear rolls down my cheek. "Aw shit. I promised myself I wouldn't cry." He kisses me on the forehead. He always does that.
"It's ok. We'll always have each other as long as I have a say in the matter." That has to be the sweetest thing he's ever said to me. "I mean, someone's got to be there when you decide you don't want to be a virgin anymore." And he ruined it. I hear snickering coming from the boy that Gregory was talking to before.
"Seriously! You said that you'd never mention that I'm a virgin. I can't believe you!" I turn my back to him and cross my arms over my chest. I'm furious but at least I can try to get a little revenge out of this. "And to think I was going to let you be my first time." He snakes his arms around my waist and rests his head on my shoulder.
"You were going to give me that honor? We could fix your little virgin problem right now if you want." I lean back my head and start to sway a bit.
"Ok." I got him. I can feel his erection against my backside.
All I hear from his little Candor friend is "Damn."
Gregory grabs my hand and pulls me towards the side of the building behind a dumpster. If he seriously thinks that I'm going to have sex with him outside the hub while all the 16 year olds and their families are outside also, he's gone crazy. I try to decide how far I want to take this revenge. I'll push it a bit further and that's it.
Once we are clearly out of sight he pushes me up against the wall and sticks one hand on either side of my head blocking me in. His lips crash against mine and I move my lips to the rhythm. After a little bit of making out (which I have plenty of experience with) he breaks away for air. His hair is a mess and my lips are a bit swollen, but it takes dedication to get revenge.
"You have no idea how long I've dreamed about this." Woah, was he admitting to liking me? No way, he must have figured out that I'm messing with him and is now trying to get me back. "As much as I love where this was going, I'm not going to let us go to fast." Oooh. He's good. I just nod and walk back out to find my friends.
Once I get back out to the front I see Naiomi standing with Byron and Quinn in the Dauntless line and I go over to tell them that I was sorry for ditching them.
Before I can even get my apology out of my mouth Naiomi notices that my lipgloss is smeared and my lips are swollen. I swear that girl has a radar that will point her to any sign of romance. "Who was he? Please tell me it was Gregory and that he finally made a move on you." She looks over to Gregory who is just now coming out from the side of the building and surprisingly his erection is gone. So that's what took him longer to come out from our hiding place. He looks over at me and does this crooked half smile thing but blushes also. It's kind of cute actually. Stop it, Piper. You don't think it's cute. "OMG! It was him, wasn't it?" I shrug and bite my lip.
"I'll tell you later."
