Chapter 3: Day One

A/N: Thanks for the reviews, even if it was three, they're still appreciated!

Salcraft (Guest): Caleb and Beatrice will continue being friends, I couldn't do that! I agree with you, they really do need at least one fanfiction where they have a normal brother/sister relationship.

Tris' POV

I wake up on my couch and notice Caleb on the chair. I sit up and look at the clock in the kitchen, 9:45. I have roughly thirty minutes until my first day of initiation begins.

I get up from my very uncomfortable position on the couch and walk into the kitchen. I open the refrigerator and peer inside. It's empty!

Oh right! Caleb and I talked and then fell asleep. The idea of going shopping totally slipped my mind. I guess I know what I'm doing later today.

I wake Caleb up and he jumps up from his seat. "What happened Beatrice?! Is there a problem?" I laugh, "Nope! No problem, just that initiation starts in twenty minutes." He walks over to the door.

"See you later, Beatrice!" Caleb calls as he walks out the door. I walk into my bedroom and take a quick shower.

When I get out, I look through my closet. I find a blue pencil skirt, lighter blue shirt, and a blue blazer the same shade as the skirt. I tuck the shirt into the skirt and look at the shoes lined up along the bottom of my closet. I pull out a pair of blue flats.

When I exit the bedroom, I look at the clock hanging on the wall and notice it's 10. Just enough time to get breakfast and head to the initiation room. I walk out and across the hall to Caleb's room. Just as I'm about to knock on the door, Caleb swings the door open.

"Hey Beatrice, want to get some breakfast?" I nod and we walk down the hallways and into the cafeteria. We walk up to the line and I get bowl of fruit and a muffin. I heard from school, that Dauntless has amazing chocolate cake. They call it Dauntless Cake. Usually the Dauntless kids had it at lunch. I remember always wanting to be one of them, Dauntless I mean.

I sit down with the other initiates and Caleb and eat my food silently. After what feels like a minute but was probably ten minutes, Sam and Charles come up to us, "Follow us, we're going to start. Lets go!" We all stand up, throw our trash away, and follow them out of the cafeteria.

We stop at a HUGE room with office desks and chairs. Each desk has a name on each desk and a computer. I find the desk that says 'Beatrice Prior' and beside it is Caleb's desk.

"Take a seat at your assigned desk and open up your computers. You will need to create a password, username, and email. These will be your initiation computers."

I open up the computer and enter the username and password. When it opens, it asks me for an email. After thinking for a minute, I decide on 'beatriceprior ' As soon as the account is set up, I get an email notification for a test I need to take.

"Now that everyone has finished, I sent you all a test you will need to take. Every day, five days a week, for two weeks, you will taking a series of different tests. Today you will be taking a math excellence test. Only one for today. You should be able to open it up from your email. You have roughly two hours. There should be some scrap paper inside the desk drawer. Oh! And orders from Jeanine, you either pass or fail. A majority of you will fail, but that's just how it works in Erudite. Once you're done, print out the test and hand it in to me. You will be free for the day. You may begin." Charles says and starts the timer for two hours. (I'm not going to put in the test problems because I'm not the best at all the hard math with what I found so online, sorry to disappoint)

After the test, I go back and check all my work and print it out. I staple the twenty page test together and walk up the front. I hand it in to Charles and leave.

I stop by my apartment to get the credit card they gave us for anything we needed to buy until we get our real jobs.

I walk to the grocery store and buy a variety of fruits, soups, frozen foods, etc...

After, I walk home trying to carry at least ten bags full to the brim of groceries, half for Caleb, the other half for me. I guess I'm not paying attention where I'm walking because I walk into something, well more like a someone. I look up and see a girl standing above me with her hand stretched out. I take her hand and stand up.

"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was walking." I say as soon as I am standing up straight and my groceries aren't sprawled all over the ground.

"Oh no! It's fine, I wasn't either so I guess it was both our faults," I laugh, "I'm Cara, and you are.."

"Beatrice,"

"Nice to meet you Beatrice, you need some help carrying these groceries?"

"If you could, that'd be great. Thanks," She nods and takes half of the bags.

"You know, Beatrice, you really need a shorter name, Beatrice seems so formal it just doesn't seem to suit you, how about... Tris!" she exclaims. I smile, "I love it! I guess I'm going by Tris now," I reply.

We continue to make small talk until we reach my apartment. Mainly about Erudite and the jobs I could have.

"It was great meeting you Tris, would you like to go shopping with me tomorrow? I need someone to go with!" I laugh, "Sure, I really need more clothes, more than this at least," I say gesturing to what I'm wearing.

"Great! See you tomorrow Tris!"

"Bye Cara!" I reply back and close my apartment door. I begin putting away my groceries when I hear a knock on my door. I walk to my door and open it to see Caleb.

"Hey Beatrice, how'd you get done with that test so quickly? Ready to go grocery shopping?"

"Actually, I already went and bought you some too, they're on the counter. Sorry if some stuff is smashed, I kinda fell on the way back here..." I say looking down. Caleb just laughs and picks up the groceries from the counter.

"Thanks Beatrice! See you tomorrow!" Caleb calls as he walks through the still open door and into his own apartment.

Once I finish putting all the groceries away, I get a shower, put on some pajamas and fall asleep.

A/N: Thanks for reading chapter 3! I hope this chapter wasn't too bad.

I had three questions:

1) Should I put Tobias' POV in somewhere?

2) Should I just do a few more days of initiation and skip to after when they're picking jobs. It really wouldn't make it much shorter, I have a TON of ideas a long plot left for this story.

3) Should Caleb get together with Sam? If you think they should, before or after initiation ends?

Let me know what you guys think!

Also, if you haven't read my other story "Living Dauntless" that'd be great if you did!

Goal: 20 reviews, only 7!

Until next time!
