Chapter 3
Peter came up to me and raised his fist to punch my jaw. I swung my foot out and tripped him, but not without him hitting me hard in the gut.
"Get out Peter!" Will yells. Tobias punches Peters face.
"You, are, Divergent." He says in between wheezes. Tobias walks back, and my face pales.
"No Im not," Tobias says hitting his temple and knocking Peter out.
"What was he saying about divergent?" Christina asks.
"He thinks we are, but were not" I say before Tobias says anything stupid.
"Uh, ok, see you guys around then" Will says and him and Christina run out.
CHOOSING DAY
"Are you nervous." Tobias asks me. Funny, thats what mymother asked me a year ago.
"No" I say. We walk to the net and wait. The initiates are on the roof, and I know how terrifying it is.
"Dont worry" He says. Many dauntless members gather into the room where the net is to watch the new initiates jump. We hear a scream, and a lump of gray is falling. An Abnegation jumped first. She falls to the net and just lies there. Toias and I grab the edge of the net and pull, making her come towards us.
"Whats your name." I ask.
"You only get to choose once, so choose wisely." Tobias adds. I want to hug him, but we decided to keep 'us' a secret.
"My name is, uh, Maria." She says.
"Maria, first jumper" Tobias announces. Cheers erupt from the crowd as the next 13 fall. 14 initiates. Only 10 will make it. There were seven dauntless borns and seven transfers.
Abnegation-Maria
Candor-Shay, Aaron, and Lucy
Erudite- Sam, and Sara, who were brother and sister.
Amity- Annabelle
I didnt bother remembering the dauntless borns names, since Tobias and I would train Initiates
"I am four, and this is six" Tobias says.
"Like the numbers? You know they didnt intend for them to use those as names right?" The girl from candor, Shay, said.
"Yes we are named after the numbers. do you have a problem with that?" I say to her. She just stares at Tobias and at his biceps. Oh how I want to pummel her. My face must look pretty scary because Tobias chuckles.
"Come on six, lets show them around." He says. We walk through the pit and get to the chasm.
"There is a fine line between idiocy and bravery. Dont cross it." I say. I catch Shay making googly eyes at Tobias and decide to scare her.
"Shay, emotions are a weakness, and to prove yourself, hang over the chasm for 2 minutes." I say. She glares at me and walks over, grabbing on tight and still looking at Tobias.
Eventually her two minutes are up and she gets up.
"I will get you back six, if that even is your real name." She whispers in my ear. She's going to be mortified when she finds out about Tobias and me.
I found my cat outside like 5 mins after I posted that last ch! I am so happy!
