Hey guys. This is the second chapter, and before I get to the chapter I just want to say something. I just got an anonymous review on one of the chapters of my other story, New Town New Name New State New Life, and it was really rude. I just wanted to mention that when I started writing on Fanfiction, I was fourteen. (Actually I think I was younger than that when I wrote it, but I was 14 when my first chapter was posted.) Two years have gone by, and although I have gotten better with writing, I haven't gone back to edit my old stories.
Thank you to everyone who has been reading all my stories all the way through, and thank you to everyone who believes in me and my writing abilities.
Happy Reading!
Tris POV
Finally, after what felt like an hour of Christina fangirling, although I think it was more like half of that, I got her to shut up, and we went to the School Mall. That's right, the school is big enough to have a full mall.
We stop at the first store, called Uniforms and Things, and go in.
The room is a pentagon, and each wall is a different colour. One wall says Amity, in a pretty cursive, and the wall is bright oranges, pinks, and yellows. The next wall says Candor in a blocky script, and one half of the wall is black where the other one is white. Then there's a totally blue 'Erudite' wall, and a gray 'Abnegation' wall. However, the wall that caught my eye was the totally black one, with Dauntless written in dark red. The word looks like it was graffiti.
I got out my list, and looked over it.
This is the list for one Beatrice Prior. She is Female. She is in Dauntless.
For School Days:
Two pairs of tights
Two school skirts
One school dress
Three school blouses
One school blazer
One tie
One pair of dark red Mary Janes; One pair of black Mary Janes
For Weekends:
One overall dress
Three pairs of school socks
Three sets of Dauntless Clothes
One pair of extra shoes
Other:
Beatrice Prior has been given permission to add one thing from the school store to her daily uniform. She may buy any number of things, but she can only wear one extra thing each day.
After about three hours of shopping later, I have everything I need and so does Christina, so we head out and to the furniture store across the street for something to 'colour the room a bit,' as Christina says.
"Firstly, we need bedspreads." We walk over to the bed section of the store, and Christina makes a b line for a black comforter that has a big red rose on the bottom part, and grabs some matching pillows, while I grab a black comforter with two purple eyes on it, and some matching purple and black pillows.
"Next, we need some furniture. Our room only has two beds two night stands and two dressers, so we need a TV, and some places to sit." So, we go over to the TV section, and grab a 40''. We could've afforded more, but we figured that that was a safe bet for size, so we bought that, along with a black beanbag chair, a purple beanbag chair (that matched my bed) and a red beanbag chair (that matched Christina's bed).
We went over to a decorations section, where I grabbed a large red fox picture, and a couple framed Taylor Swift records (1989 and Taylor Swift, her last and first). Christina grabbed a couple posters and a large multiple picture frame, so I suppose she has some pictures to put in.
"Christina, are we done yet? I know most of the big things were taken back to our room, but I'm tired."
"But Tris…" I just glared at her, and she sighed, but slowly trudged back to Dauntless.
We just finished setting up our room, the big fox poster was above my bed, and the records hanging above my dresser. The last part of the TV setup was completed, and a knock was at the door.
"That'll be the gang," Christina exclaimed. "Go open the door please!"
I went to open the door for my new friend, to see six people standing outside. They were all wearing black and dark red, the custom for Dauntless. Although you don't need to wear the uniform yet (hence Christina's six inch heels) people here tended to stick to their colours. The six teenagers fell into the room, and all started talking loudly to Christina about who knows what, until someone decided to notice me.
"Hello," a blonde boy with celery green eyes smiles at me. "What's your name?"
"Oh, this is Tris," Christina decides to finally introduce me. "This is Will," she points to the boy with celery green eyes, "this is Marlene," a strawberry blonde with a twinkle in her eye and a flirtatious smile and her hand wrapped in the hand of a bronze skinned dark eyed guy who Christina introduced as Uriah. Next to him is his twin brother, Zeke, and beside him is Zeke's girlfriend Shauna.
"And this is Four," the last boy, who has a hooked nose, obviously defined muscles, is definitely good looking. But, what pulls me in is his eyes. They swirl with pain, and suffering.
Finally, I bring myself to pull away, and smile at shyly everyone. "Nice to meet you all," I almost whisper. Uriah grins so wide I'm sure it's painful.
"TRISSY!" He pulls me into a huge hug, and I'm sure I must look terrified because Marlene slaps him and says, "You're scaring the poor girl!" He steps back, looking apologetic, and I take that time to fix my hood.
"Are we going to play truth or dare," Zeke asked.
"Oh shit, I forgot about that. Um, we'll meet you at Zeke and Four's room. We need layers." I can't help but be a bit scared. Why would we need layers?
"Um, Chris? Why do we need layers?"
"If you don't answer a truth or do a dare, you have to take an article of clothing off." Oh, shit. This means that I have to both wear lots of clothing and hope that I don't have to chicken out on something. I gulp, and then Christina pushes something into my hands.
"Here, put this on." Christina shoves some clothes into my hands, and pushes me into the bathroom. "And be quick!"
I take a look at it, and see that it's black tights, a black skirt, a tank top, a dark red t shirt, a black hoodie that is covered in lines from Taylor Swift songs, and a black snapback. Oh thank god. I slip on the tights, and use bathroom scissors to cut a hole in the back, wrap my tail around my waist and put on the skirt. I tuck the tank top and shirt into the skirt, and slip the hoodie over my head. The hat goes on, followed by the hood, and I walk out of the room.
Christina passes me a pair of combat boots, the shoes I came here in. I slip them on, and we walk out the door and over to the guys dorms.
How was the chapter? Hope it was okay, I had a lot of fun writing it!
Stay Dauntless,
