CHAPTER 2
We finished the tour a bit early so we decided that we would still meet in the cafeteria at the time that we planned on. Tobias thinks that we should give them their new clothes right after lunch so I oblige. We let the initiates go explore before lunch, and Tobias and I head over to our apartment to talk about the new initiates. When we get there he says, "What do you think about this year's initiates?" "I think Ruby already has a crush on Damon. I guess she's one of those people that think that a couple should have the same eye color." He laughs at that, and asks "no but seriously who do you think will do the best in stage one and who will do the worst." I think Ruby will be one of the worst. She reminds me a lot of Myra, and she left with Edward because 1 he was her boyfriend, and 2 because she was going to get kicked out of this faction any way." "What do you think about Erica?" he asks. "I think that she might be Eric's evil twin or something because she reminds me of someone from Erudite; but I don't know who." He says. I nod and say, "It's just something about her." I look at Tobias' watch and see that it's time to go. "Oh!" I say, "Look at the time. We're going to be late unless we run there. Race ya!" and with that took off towards the door and he say's "Oh come on you have a head start!" "Well you are much fast than me Four!" I yell from half way down the hall.
We barely make it to the cafeteria before the initiates do. We take our seats at our usual table with, Christina, Will, Uriah, Marlee, Zeke, and Shauna. "Hey guys!" says Tobias "Hey." says Zeke, "I'm having a party later tonight to mark the start of the nee initiates' time here. Wanna come?" he says dramatically. "Sure we'll be there but don't we have to plan the fights?" I ask Tobias. "No, because we won't be doing any training today." He says. "Right I forgot that training starts tomorrow." I say, "Well then I guess that we will see you there then." "Course you will. No one misses one of my parties when invited to one." Says Zeke pretending that he is so cool.
After lunch we all met back up at the dormitory so that we can hand out the black clothes. "All right everybody," I say. "Line up! Girls in one line in front of me, and one line in front of Four. We will be handing out your new clothes to wear for now. After you have gotten changed you will throw out your old clothes in this garbage can." The transfers followed my orders, and threw out their old clothes. Now that they have finished getting changed Tobias says, "Alright everyone, tomorrow you will be starting your training. There are 3 stages of initiation here. Physical, emotional, and mental. 4 of you will be factionless at the end of stage one. It could be any combination of dauntless born and transfers, so no one is safe. The initiates with 4 lowest rankings will be kicked out of dauntless. Then the lowest ranked initiate will be eliminated at the end of stage 3 so that there will be 10 new members. At the end of stage 2 you will receive your ranking but no one will become factionless. Any questions?" everyone shakes their heads. No. "Good. We will see you all tomorrow morning at 8:00," and with that he left the room. I turned to follow him but looked back at the initiates and said, "Meet us in the training room. Don't be late." Then I turned back towards the door and left the room.
Later, after dinner Tobias and I left our apartment to go to Zeke's "party". When we got there everyone was playing truth or dare. It was Uriah's turn to dare someone. "Will," he says. "Truth or dare." "Dare," says Will. "I dare you to switch clothes with Christina." Will looked mortified as Christina was wearing very high, high heels. She was also wearing a thigh tight dress that looked way too small for Christina let alone Will. Christina was laughing her head off because will was wearing a t-shirt and jeans, he was also wearing a pair of running shoes. Will needed 3 people to help him get into that dress and shoes. He looked like a stuffed pig when he came out. It was hilarious.
At some point Zeke brought out the beer. Of course nearly everyone had some including Tobias. I didn't have any but my Husband drunk enough for both of us. I can already tell that he is going to have a very large headache tomorrow. I might even have to start their training by myself, but that's alright. That means that I can take a day off myself later on. I smile to myself. At least there are only 6 initiates this time. As soon as Tobias layed down on the bed he was snoring louder than I have ever heard him before. Guess I'm not getting any sleep tonight.
