Tris' PoV.
I wake up and glance at my clock. 6:55 great, I'm going to be late on my first day. I sigh and get out of bed and turn on the shower. I try to shower quickly and then pull on a pair of black skinny jeans and a black v neck. Then I lace up my combat boots and grab a muffin because that's all I have time for and Four will not be happy if I'm late⦠again.
I run to the training room and see that Four's already there. I lance at my watch, 7:44. Ha! I'm not late!
"You're late," Four says without turning around.
"No I'm not," I say, "I'm one minute early."
"That's a nice change," He mutters.
"Hey! Just because I was late for training a few times-,"
"Seven times."
"Whatever."
We are setting up for the initiation. Checking to make sure we have everything and stuff like that.
By 3 o'clock we have everything ready and just in time to make it to the net. The walk to the net is awkward. Things between me and Four have been ever since I was attacked during initiation.
Just as I'm about to say something I'm sure I will regret Christina comes around the corner.
"Hey Tris! Four." She says.
"Hi Chris." I say.
"Ready to scare some initiates?"
"I've been ready since our initiation. And don't forget to call me Six around the initiates."
She laughs, "I won't."
Then I hear a scream and see a boy in blue drop onto the net. I walk up and stick my hand out. "What's your name?" I say with a completely straight face.
"Jack," He says nodding. "Yeah, Jack."
"Make the announcement Four," I say turning.
"First jumper, Jack!" Four yells and the crowd appears.
Five minutes later all the initiates still alive are in the compound.
"This is where we split!" Chris yells. "Dauntless born, follow me and Uriah!"
Then I turn to face the group. We have 3 Erudite, 5 Candor, and 1 Amity. He'll be interesting to watch.
"I am Six. This is Four," I yell motioning to Four. "We will be your instructors."
"Six and Four? What kind of names are those?" A Candor asks.
"I bet that's what they came in in their initiation," The Candor girl next to him says.
I glare at them, about to say something when the boy speaks again, "No way. Look at her I bet she just barely made it past initiation."
I glare at them.
"She may be small but she is hot!" Another Candor says.
I roll my eyes and say, "I suggest you shut up now because you are very close to getting me mad and believe me you do not want to see me mad. If I wanted to listen to people running their mouths all day I would have gone to Candor." Then I continue in a calmer voice, "Now if you follow us we will show you the pit.
Finally we are done the tour and Four and I lead the initiates to the cafeteria. As soon as we're inside I go to my usual table where Chris, Will, Uriah, Marlene, Lynn, Zeak and Shauna sit. I slide into the seat next to Chris and start making a hamburger. After a minute Four sits down and Chris starts telling us about her initiates.
Don't mind me I'm just a page break!
After dinner I drag myself to my apartment and collapse into bed. Not even bothering to change.
Don't mind me I'm just a page break!
This morning I wake up a little earlier, at 6:30, which is good because training starts at 7:30 and being late won't seem very intimidating. I quickly jump in the shower and then pull on black skinny jeans, a black tank top that shows off all of my tattoos. I pull on a pair of combat boots and run a brush through my hair. I grab a muffin again and make my way to the training room.
When I get there I see Four is already here setting up the guns. I Throw my muffin wrapper away and go over to help him. We finish just as the initiates start to trickle in.
Training starts in 1 minute and we are still missing 2 Candor girls and 1 Erudite girl.
2 minutes later they arrive, walking in casually. By this time me and Four have already given everyone guns. "Why are you late?" I say turning to them. The annoying Candor girl from yesterday shrugs. "We woke up late," She says like it's no big deal.
"Look sweaty," I say with mock kindness. "I don't appreciate you being late. Don't do it again."
She laughs. "Please. What could you do to me?"
This will be fun. "Get in the ring," I tell her.
She walks toward the ring but I can see some of her confidence leave her. Yes, this will defiantly be fun.
Four's PoV.
This is bad. The Candor, Celeste I think, is being to cocky. Six can't get mad like this. If Eric finds out she fought an initiate, well, it won't be good. But it's too late they're already in the ring. Oh god Six, don't do anything stupid.
They start circling and Celeste throws a weak punch. Six ducks and takes advantage while Celeste is off balance. Six punches her in the stomach and kicks her legs out from under her. Once Celeste is on the ground I expect Six to hit her again but she doesn't. She just walks out of the ring. Good.
A few of the guys wolf whistle and she blushes. I feel hot jealousy course through me and I frown but quickly hide it when she looks at me, signaling me to start. I explain how the correct way to shoot a gun is and do a few example shots. Sometime during my 'lesson' Celeste gets up and walks over to the group. I send the off to go practice and me and Six start circling to help.
I notice her go over to the Amity boy, John, and fixes his arms. He says something to her and she laughs, blushing. I go over to Celeste and help her to hold the gun right. Just as I'm about to back off she turns and presses her lips to mine. I'm in shock for a second but then I hear Six laugh and pull away.
Celeste is smirking up at me and I turn and see Six trying to hold in her laughter, Grabbing John's arm to steady herself. I quickly walk away from Celeste and dismiss the initiates for lunch.
Once they are gone Six comes over to me. "Well," She says trying to hold in her laughter, "That was..." She seems at a loss for words. "What was that?"
"I was hopping you could tell me. You're a girl Six. Why'd she do that?"
"Well... I mean, she obviously likes you and she most likely wanted to tel the other girls that they should stay away from you." She pauses and then says, "And you can call me Tris when the initiates aren't around."
"If you like her I suggest you tell her and if you don't well... I'd stay away from her."
I nod and she says, "I'm gonna go get some lunch. Bi."
