"I better see you all in the Pit in five minutes!" A loud banging of what sounded like pots and pans interrupted my sleep.

Others around me groaned at the wake up call. I stretched and looked at the doorway with squinted, crusty eyes. Of course, I was greeted with a blurry Eric. My bed just so happened to be the closest to the door.

My face turned hot when a hand waved over my face.

"Are you awake or asleep?" A feminine voice asked from above.

"Uhh-sleep? I mean awake-ugh", I groaned while Lisa giggled.

"How can you be happy this early?" I squinted up at her, rubbing at my right eye.

She shrugged, hopped down from her bunk, and proceeded to get dressed in front of me.

Hannah, to my left, was still trying to wake up, like most others.

I stumbled to the bathroom area and turned on a faucet. I shuddered as cold water splashed over my face, effectively removing some of my gross eye crust, which I'm sure was dried tears, and waking me up. I grabbed a small towel and dried my face and small parts of my hair that got wet.

I slept in my leggings and black tank top so I wouldn't have to bother changing the next morning in front of the guys.

"Aw, you're not going to put on a show for us this morning? The other girls did." A guy, Josh, winked at me. He was about average height, average build with oddly broad shoulders, and a face that rivaled that of an elf. A perverted one.

I just shrugged, ignoring him, and walked back to my bunk to put on my boots, grabbing another pair of socks that were left in the dorm by Eric. They were a little big, so the ankle socks became high topped socks on me.

"Wanna walk to breakfast with us?" Hannah asked, gesturing to Lisa and Jack behind her.

"Sure." I stood up and followed them to the Pit.

Not much was said on the way to get breakfast. I yawned about 3,472 times though.

Once we got in line for breakfast, I snagged a large chocolate muffin and a cup of hot coffee.

We sat down at an empty table. There weren't very many people in the Pit yet, so there were very many empty tables for the taking. It was only about 6:10 by the time we sat down. Eric did tell us to be in the Pit in 5 minutes, so we weren't late like a few other initiates were. All of the Dauntless born were here before us, and we're seated at the two tables closest to the food line.

I took a bite of my muffin and sipped cautiously at my coffee.

"Gross!" Hannah screeched at me. "Who drinks black coffee?"

I point a thumb at myself, "Me?" I replied with sass.

"Ugh that is so just-ugh", She shuddered as I took another sip, and then another bite of my muffin.

"So what do you guys think we'll be doing today?" Jack questioned.

I looked at his plate thoughtfully. "We'll be in the training room, so probably some sort of fighting stuff, I overheard Four talking to Eric about it yesterday."

"You mean arguing?" Hannah butted in. "That's all I've seen them do when they're together!"

"You know what that's called?" I asked, with a grin on my face. They all shook their heads. "It's this thing called 'who's penis is bigger'"

They all choked up with laughter, and a Dauntless man behind me guffawed after hearing what I said. "I like her!" He exclaimed to the rest of his buddies sitting at the table behind me.

I blushed profusely, but with a smile on my face nonetheless.

By 6:30 the Pit had become more lively, with people buzzing around getting ready for the day. We were to be in the training room at 6:45, so it was time for us to go.

The only people in the training room were Eric and Four, and you guessed it, they were arguing.

"We're trying to train them, not purposely injure them, Eric."

"Well, you know what, Four? I'm a leader, I make the rules, and the new rules are that no one concedes."

Eric and Four stared each other down for about 10 seconds. Four's jaw muscles flexed as he gritted his teeth and stormed off to handle his own initiates.

Eric finally noticed us and gestured for us to take a seat. We did, not wanting to anger him any further.

"See", I whispered to my three friends. "Who's penis is bigger?" I joked. They laughed quietly.

"I'm willing to bet that Four's is bigger." Lisa suddenly announced and we all looked at her with jaws slack and eyes wide.

I accidentally laughed too loud and Eric noticed. Our smiles disappeared as he approached, though I was practically trying to force mine to go away and stay away while Eric was near.

"What's so funny?", Eric questioned, standing in front of us.

"Um, nothing. Just talking about something that happened at breakfast." I stuttered, intimidated by him.

He glared at us for a few long moments before his face loosened up. "Oh, okay." His voice sounded like it was anything but okay to him.

Like a silent threat, maybe?

By the time 6:45 rolled around, everyone was present and waiting to hear what we would be doing today.

"Alright, initiates." Eric walked onto a padded platform in front of us. "Today, we'll be practicing fighting techniques. Tomorrow, you will paired up to fight each other." He put his hands behind his back and began pacing. "After lunch we will meet here again for weaponry practice and will head to the rooftops to continue practicing."

He stopped in the middle on the platform and stared at us sternly, his eyes meeting mine longer than I would have liked. "Physical body training will be from seven in the morning to 12, where you will have an hour lunch break. Training with weapons will follow, from one in the afternoon to six. After that, you will have free time. You will be given points every day for your hard work in training. Points are used to buy things that you want or need, like clothes. Your curfew is ten o'clock at night. If you are found out of the dorm after curfew, you will be punished. Are there any questions?"

No one spoke up, and he nodded. "Alright. Twenty pushups." A Candor girl groaned.

"Thirty!" He bellowed. "I don't wanna hear any more complaints!"

That's when I knew, it was going to be a long day.
