A/N Hi, so this is a new story, which I hope you like, just going to let you know, this is not replacing teacher and student, its almost a backup story, for times like this were I'm stuck on my other story. I also prob won't post as much on this story, as the other one. Anyway enjoy -Banana
It's my first day of my new job, I sent a job application to Dauntless bakery, about a week ago, I still can't believe I got in! Dauntless bakery is the best bakery in Chicago.
I've always loved to bake, I decided at 16 that's what's I wanted my profession to be, I've had years of practice and experience. But I never thought in would be good enough for Dauntless.
I put on a Black T'shirt with some light blue jeans, just a casual outfit, I pull my hair back into a pony, I still can't pull off buns, anymore. That's all I wore as a kid, most of the girls in Abnagation, my home town did, I still don't really know why, my mom says it's been that way for forever, and most guys don't have long hair. I never liked Abnagation growing up, i always thought they were to, stiff. Most only ware bold colors, greys, blacks and tans.
As soon as I turned 18 I moved to Dauntless, I love it here, every ones just, free. I meet my best friend, Christina, and her boyfriend Will, we live in the same apartment, but we met on the train, the apartment thing was just a huge coincided. speaking of Christina, she would probably scream if she saw what I was wearing. I've never been a girly girl, I just don't see the point.
Once I got my hair pulled back, I put a small amount of makeup on, just some eye liner and mascara, just so I don't look like a 12 year old, I have a very petit body, don't have any curves, and I'm 5'1, I have a lot of child-like features. the make up just helps a bit.
I put on some brown shoes, that have little heel, making me about an inch taller, I grab a muffin and scarf it down, I'm already running late, great Tris first day of your new job and already late, I grab a water bottle for the go and run out the door.
One of the bonuses of Dauntless baker is its only about 5 minutes away from my apartment. I walk/jog there, I wanted to be a little early, to make a good impression, but that didn't happen, I'm about a minute or too late.
My boss name is Max, from what I'm told, he's a pretty cool guy. from what I've heard it's Eric, that's a real hot head. unfortunately, he's the initiation leader, lucky he's not my trainer, so I won't see him all the time, but he'll still be around. I wonder who my trainer is?
I open and walk though the door, I love the smell, well it is a bakery, but something about Dauntless just has that smell that makes you never want to leave, I hope I never get used to this, and I get smell it every day!
I walk to the front counter, a lady stands behind it, she has dark hair that's in Dread locks. I look down at her name tag, Tori, it reads. "Hi, can I help you?" She asks. I look at her and give a little smile. "Yes, my name's Tris, I..."
"Ah, Tris the new girl, right?" She interrupts. I smile and nod. she gives and approving smile, and opens up the counter door. "Follow me." she instructs. I apply. she walks me to the kitchen, it's huge, it has white walls, stainless steel counters and appliances. shelves filled with every food product you could think of, besides cold products, which leads me to the fridge, it as well is, huge. it looks more like a safe then a fridge. it's all amazing!
I didn't even notice Tori stoped at a counter, with a guy, a very attractive guy, he had dark almost navy eyes, that you could easily get lost in, he had brown slightly curly, short hair, a fuller lower lip, a muscular jaw, and body, even though his clothes and apron, you could tell he was very muscular, but not to muscular like the guys you see in sport or workout magazines, he was just perfect. But his eyes are what really got me, you could definitely get lost in them, and I guess I did,(A/N sorry, i know i used this line in my other story, but i just love it so much)I guess he noticed I was staring at him, because he started to laugh a little, then he looked right at me with those eyes, and smirked, I looked down and blushed, I noticed that I was holding my breath that whole time.
I looked back up at Tori, who, as well was smirking.
"Tris, this is Four your trainer." she motioned her head towards him, Four. What a weird nickname, wonder how he got it? well another question for another time.
I looked back at Four again. He was still looking at me, made blush, again. Tori spoke again, "Four, this is Tris, the newbie." she smiled, as did, Four. I noticed, his teeth for the first time, he has a perfect smile, as with the rest of him. "Hi, Tris, it's nice to meet you". he extended his had out for me to shake, I smiled "You too." I said back, and reached my hand out, as soon as our hands touched, a bolt of electricity ran through me, which made my hand jolt back a bit, I noticed his did to, did he feel it as well? I quickly grabbed his hand again, the same feeling came, but I finished the handshake, as did he. it's was honestly hard to let go of his hand, it was warm and soft. but I did.
Tori looked back at Four, "Ok, well, you know what to do Four, ill leave you too, to it." she smiled and walked away. I looked back at Four, I felt very awkward, he just smile at me, I didn't mind it, i liked it when he looked at me. He finally spoke, "Ok, first lets get you an apron and you can wash your hands." I nodded and follows him to get an apron. He opens up a cupboard on the other side of the kitchen, under the sink. He handed me a white apron with a smile. I put the loop over my head, then I noticed he went to the back for me and tied the strings. I smiled while he did this. once he was done I looked back, he tied it into a nice bow, I looked up at him and smiled, "thanks" he smiled back. I walked over to the sink to wash my hands. Four came up and stood against the counter next to the sink, looking at me. "So, Tris tell me a little about yourself." He asks. I look up at him, he raises an eye brow. "Umm, well, I was born in Abnagation, I've always loved to bake, I went to Erudite baking school, when I was 18, i'm 22 now, I spent four years there. Umm, I have a brother, his names Caleb, he lives at Erudite, and studies Science. And it's a dream come true to be working here." I end of with that. He smiles a bit, and looks at me. I felt something weird in my stomach, I got this warm fuzzy feeling, every time he looked at me. "I was born in Abnagation too." He tells, I get a confused look on my face, Abnagation is so small, and someone like him, I would have easily remembered him. I mean I'm sure he's older, but not by that much?
I just smile a little as a response. He leads me to a new counter. "Ok, first, were just going to start off easy, I don't want to make you feel like you don't know anything about baking, because I know you do, but to make this easier on both off, please don't act like a know it all. we're here to teach you, and you are to learn." I nod. "Yeah, of course, I'm here to learn." I state. he smiles. "Great, I'm sorry, I just realized how badly I worded that, I didn't mean to a offended you or anything, I just totally called you a know it all, when your probably not..." he stops to think for a minute, and looks down. "Hey, it's ok, you didn't offended me. Your fine." He looks up and smiles, as do I.
"Ok, let's get to work, like I said, we're going to start off easy. So, were going to be making Dauntless chocolate cake, my personal favourite thing in they make in this bakery." He grabs the recipe out of a drawer in the counter. Dauntless is famous for there chocolate cake, I can't believe that's the easy. "Really, Dauntless cake, that's easy?" He looks at me and nods. "believe it or not, it is. Crazy, right." I nod. He hands me the recipe, it's actually pretty simple, the cake itself is is fairly simple, it's the frosting that's very different.
As I read the rest of the recipe, I feel eyes on me, I look over at Four, who is staring at me, my cheeks go red, and I smirk. he quickly embarrassedly laughs a little and looks away. "Sorry, I don't mean to stare, your just really beautiful." My face goes hot, the feeling in my stomach is burning. Did Four, this insanity attractive guy, just call me, beautiful. I am not ugly, but I am currently not beautiful.
I laugh a little and shake my head, and continue reading. "I am not beautiful, Four." Now he's the one laughing. "So, I think you are." Now he's flirting with me. Four, flirting with me. I look back at him. "Ok, I'm done," I set down the recipe. "What next?" I ask. "Ok, now ill give you a tour, take the recipe with you, we'll gather the ingredients." He motions for me to follow him. I look around, I don't know how you could find anything In this kitchen. Four, looks back at me. "I know, it looks confusing, but once you learn the kitchen, you'll find stuff very easily, it set up in selections, you can kinda see it, so we'll start with dry ingredients, there mostly on the left side of the room." He states.
Wow. I've never seen a kitchen set up this way. he brings me to a corner of selves. One sides all glass jars of flour. "Ill grab the flour, it's kinda heavy, but you grab a jar a baking soda," he motions to the other side of the self. I do as told, there all long skinny jars of baking soda, I watch Four grab a bucket of flour, his back muscles become really visible while he dose this. I can't take my eyes off him. I hate it, I shouldn't be thinking this way of him. How could he like me, he probably only called me beautiful to be nice. I'm sure he has a girlfriend.
He turns back with the flour in his hands, "Ready?" He asks. I nod, "See the carts over there," he points to a wall with stainless steel flat carts. I nod. "Go grab one, please." I walk over and grab one, I put the baking soda on it, and bring it to Four, who puts the flour on it. He looks back at me, "Ok, so I want to make sure you know where you would find something in the kitchen so," He points to the selves with the flour and baking soda. "All the dry ingredients are on these selves, so while we're here, grab a baking powder jar and a sugar jar, then well move on. Oh, sorry grab the brown sugar too, it's on the bottom." I grab all three and put them on the cart. "Alright, lets move to the fridge." He wheels the cart over to there, I open it, it's a walk in, nice.
A/N sorry I know, super bad ending, I created this story in my notes, before I had fanfiction, so I just stoped here, and I didn't feel like writing more today, sorry if I don't post chapter two for a while, this is kinda just a back up story, my main story, right know, is teacher and student, but I'm kinda stuck right know on that one. But ill try to post often, if you guys want to see more of this story.
