I wake up at 7 and realize what today is. It is choosing day. I get out of bed brush my teeth and hair then put my piercings in, wondering if we will get transfers or if anyone will leave us. Who am I kidding of course we will get transfers were dauntless after all. By the time im finished getting ready I regret getting up so early remembering that I don't have to be at the choosing ceremony, but im up so I decide to go get breakfast.
I walk down to the pit and grab a pumpkin muffin and some coffee and I walk to fours table. I really do hate him I still remember when he knocked out my teeth in our initiation. But still I don't want to sit with some old people and max is at the table anyway so I go and sit down.
"Hey max, four." He doesn't even look at me, I know he is hoping that there will be some good transfers or some hot girl. Although four doesn't seem like he cares to much about anyone
"Hey Eric." Max says looking up from his coffee "excited about the choosing ceremony."
"Yah I guess, last year was lame" I say because it was lame but sad I lost my friend Dana she was pretty awesome and also hated four. I was planning on asking her out but she failed initiation.
"You sure your just not sa-"
"Well I think we should make this day a little better." I say cutting him off I cant show weakness around four not around him or anyone. "anyone up for a bet?" at that four looks up and glares at me then starts talking to Lauren, his friend from our initiation. I smile and it makes him wince.
"What type of bet?" max asks curiously.
"I think that we won't be getting any abnegation."
"you're on says four but not for money let's just do it for pride" four asks I'm surprised that he even is in on the bet and completely stunned he is talking to me, but I could really care less.
"Fine what about you max which side are you on?"
"Yours we haven't got a abnegation in two years." He says look at four. Four smiles. Gosh just his name makes me hate him. Our instructor Amar gave him that name after he only got four fears in our fear landscape.
"well actually if you two bothered to go to the choosing ceremony last year we did he just didn't make it." Four looks at us and smiles, proving people wrong is everything here.
"well anyway…. Im going to the chasm till the initates get to the train bye max." I got up without saying good bye to four. He placed first in initiation me second but im still a dauntless leader and I still have control over him.
