Hello! I'm not going to update for how many followers and views and reviews I have. I am going to update for the pleasure of people who actually read OC based stories. I do not care if you don't like them. I appreciate your review, MimicPlus.
Xavier POV
"I like your dress," I whisper into Cora's ear. She blushes a deep red.
"Thanks." She turns to Lana. "I wanna go shopping. Wanna come?"
"Sure," Lana replies, smiling.
They say goodbye and go back to the pit.
"Dude, those girls are hot," Jack smirks.
"Especially Cora," I mutter, nodding my head. They're both very pretty. Cora has fiery red hair and emerald green eyes. Lana has dirty blond hair and hazel eyes.
"Someone has a crushy whushy!" Jack exclaims, earning glares from the other initiates.
"Shut up, no I don't!" I feel my cheeks heat up. "Why don't we go check out the shops in the pit? You know, get some more Dauntless clothes."
"Sure."
Cora POV
"Oh! Let's go to this store first!" Lana exclaims, dragging me into a shop.
"Slow down, race horse," I laugh. "I'm going to go look around. I will be somewhere around here. If I'm not back by 4:50, leave without me."
"You sure?"
"Comepletely sure."
We walk our seperate ways and my mind wanders off. First, I'm thinking about my family. "Oh!" I exclaim as I find a cute black pair of jeans. I pick out my size and try them on.
They fit me. I look around a bit more, grabbing another pair of jeans in a lighter shade. I know from Dauntless conversations I have overheard that we have limited points and we work for them if we make initiation.
I find an off the shoulder dark heather shirt and try it on, finding it fits as well.
At the end, I spend 100 points on at least 4 outfits. I meet up with Lana at 4:30.
"You got a lot," I say, glancing down at her bags.
"Mhm," She agrees. She spots another shop and we are off.
I end up getting my ears pierced and with about thirty bags to carry. It's 4:57 right now. Lana and I are in the dorm, getting changed into Dauntless clothes. I'm wearing a black tank top that shows a little more than what most Candor show. I am also wearing a pair of dark grey jeans.
I examine the rest of the transfers. 3 Candor, including me, 3 Erudite, and 1 Amity.
Lana, Xavier, Jack, and I are all sitting chatting, waiting for this so called Eric.
"I bet he has fifty piercings all around his face," Xavier laughs.
"I'm on Xavier's side." I tease.
"Oh yeah? I bet that Eric has fifty one piercings!" Jack announces.
"Lana, whose side are you on?" I say, laughing.
"Mmmmm..." She thinks. Just then, Eric walks in and he has not fifty, but somewhere around ten. Greasy hair. Ew.
"So that's Eric," Jack says loud enough for us four to hear. "He looks like a greased and pierced pig."
I try keeping my laughter in but can't hold it.
"What's so funny, Candor?" Eric growls.
I stop laughing immediately. "Nothing at all, sir."
He gives me a death glare and looks away. Starting to talk. I elbow Jack in the stomach. "I am Eric and I am a leader here at Dauntless. I will be taking you to dinner tonight. You will be expected to be back in this dorm by 10:00 PM.
"If you were to leave Dauntless grounds without an instructor or leader, like Four or myself, you will be punished. Initiation is split into three parts. The first one, physical. The second one, emotional. The third one, mental," He growls and walks out and we take the motive that we have to follow him.
We go into a large dining area and he leads us to a line. There, we get food. I get two slices of cake because I hear people saying it's delicious. I also take a hamburger and a handful of fries.
Xavier, Lana, and I- Jack having sat down with the third Erudite, Noah, at another table- all sit at an empty table. I see Xavier trying to take a fry and smack his hand away. "Bad boy!" I tease.
"Owie. You mean, Cowa," He whines in a baby voice. He's even cuter in Dauntless black...
"Stop it you two," Lana laughs.
Six and Four sit down at our table. "Hey, it's the first jumper, Cora!" Six says, smiling.
"I forgot your names," Four says, gesturing at Xavier and Lana.
"Xavier."
"Lana," Lana says, looking down.
I start eating my hamburger and Xavier tries to sneak another fry. This time, I let him.
When he turns to talk to Four, I take most of his fries. I smile and start eating his fries.
He turns back to his tray and screams, "Hey!" He tries taking them back, but I push him away laughing. I hear Six, Lana, and Four laughing too.
"You guys know each other?" Six asks.
"No, we met today. He helped me onto the train when my dress snagged on my foot," I explain. Six and Four share a look. I see Six twisting a ring on her finger.
"Are you two getting married?" I blurt out. No filter, I swear. "I'm sorry! I just... Candor..." I stop fighting with Xavier. He steals a piece of my cake. "I licked that!" He puts it back down on my tray.
"Yes, we are. And it's fine. I have a best friend from Candor. She can't help it either," Six smiles. "Her name is Christina."
"I don't know her," I say.
"Those pesky Candor," Xavier teases. He does that messed up yawn put your arm around a girl thing. His arm is resting on my shoulder and at first, I catch myself smiling. Then I turn around and pinch him. "That pesky Cora! God, that hurt!" He pulls his arm away and shakes it, as if it would relieve the pain.
I stick my tongue out at him and Lana is doubled over in laughter.
"I like these initiates, To- Four." Six smiles up at Four. I wonder if his real name starts with 'To'.
We all walk back to the dorms. Xavier has tried to put his arm around me three times by now.
"Stop being such a 16 year old!" I exclaim, laughing.
"There's a problem there. I am a 16 year old," Xavier says, serious.
He throws me over his shoulder and I squeal, him running back to the dorm with me pounding on his back. He drops me down on his bunk and starts tickling me. I shriek.
"Lana! LANA! HELP! HE'S TRYING TO MURDER ME!" I say through giggles.
"Can you two love birds shut up?" A nasty voice calls out from across the room. Xavier stops and lets me up, him holding back a smirk.
I give him a hug and get the pair of pajamas I got. They're black and dark grey plaid pants and a loose t shirt.
I change and climb onto the top of the bunk, looking at the pictures I brought with me of my family.
I do not regret my choice of leaving. I love Dauntless and I have been here one day, but I love it. They are so free.
