I haven't felt this way in a while, safe. It hasn't been long since the war ended, and most people recovered. Eric, Max, and the other Dauntless Traitors that were leaders have been executed. Something feels different, I've lost a part of who I am since I chose Dauntless. Not only being selfless, but the person who I was before. Beatrice, the girl who put others before she put herself."Tris? You've been in there for ten minutes. How does it look?" Christina says knocking on the changing room door. The dress Christina picked out for was a short black cocktail dress with sparkling gold sequins on the bust line and a drape design highlighting my curves.

"Yeah it looks great on me." I say twirling my natural blonde hair.

"Come out and let me see!" Christina excitedly says knocking on the door harder. I open the door and Christina is already looking in a mirror across the store fluffing her short wavy black hair. She spots me and lets out a squeal and rushes over to me. "You look stunning! Tobias will love it!" She says winking at me.

"Am I planning on going ziplining in this?" I ask, honestly this is not the clothing I would wear for ziplining.

"Ofcourse, duh! I already picked out some shoes for you, follow me!" She says running over to the shoe rack. Christina picks out a pair of shoes and holds them out to me. They shoes are peep toe gold studded black high heels. The golden studs were placed on the six-inch heel and at the front of the shoe were the shoe opens, exposing a few toes. I slip them on and Christina lets out a scream, I almost fall over until a I lean on a wall and regain my balance. "Now that I think about it, you need your hair done too." She says examining my hair very closely.

"I don't think so." I say arguing with her.

"Yes you do, you won't look all crazy Dauntless but I know what to do. I could trim off about an inch, add highlights, curl it, AND BABAAAMMM TOBIAS WON'T TAKE HIS EYES OFF OF YOU." She screams. I laugh, "Nevermind, Tobias wouldn't take his eyes off you even if how you looked before." she says gesturing to the closet where my other clothes were sitting. I roll my eyes, although its true.

"I'll go change out of this. Do you mind picking out a black eyeshadow, blush, and an eyeliner pencil?" I ask Christina as she's already on her way to the make up aisle. I've never worn so much make up before, Christina definately got me into this. I slip off the dress and shoes and put back on a black v-neck t-shirt showing off my raven tattoo's, stretching on the fabric leggings and put back on the simple black 5-inch high heels I've had since I chose Dauntless. I meet Christina by the front desk cashier with my new clothing. She waves at me, and I see in her hand a black laced bra and panties.

"I also picked this out for you!" Christina gestures to the under clothing.

"What the hell?" I say shooting her a death glare.

"Sheesh Tris, you'll be fine. I'll pay." She suggests. Marissa, the cashier, at the clothing center scans my items and puts them in a paper bag. Christina scans her credit car, totalling up to $103.64, considering the dress and shoes are designer pieces. We walk to the pit and see Tobias walking to the chasm with Zeke and Uriah. "Tris, Christina! Over here!" Zeke shouts finally noticing us.

We jog over to them and Tobias says "What's in the bag?"

Christina puts her index finger to her lips,"We should go Tris, we have a lot of things to do." she says in a singy voice. Before Christina gets the chance to drag me out I go over to Tobias and press my lips to his. I wrap my hands around his neck, he moves his hands down to my waist and grips the hem of my shirt.

"Aw, not again. TOBIAS LET HER GO." Zeke shouts at him. We ignore him and I move my hand down to his shoulder, gripping his shirt in my fist.

"It's hopeless, they won't stop." Christina says sighing.

I release from Tobias still holding onto his neck and turn my head to our three person audience and say "Aha, we should probably go." rolling my eyes as Christina shouts

"YA THINK?''

I sigh as Tobias slowly lets go of my waist, and I remove my hands from him. "I'll see you later." he says waving me goodbye.

"Wait Tobias! We're going back to your apartment so don't come in!" Christina shouts to him. He turns his head and nods as she follows me to our apartment. "It's uh- really clean." Christina says looking around the room and going through drawers.

"Yeah, you should probably do my hair first. Don't get my new dress messy." I tease her. She follows me to the bathroom, carrying in a stool for me to sit on. I sit down on the stool as she brushes out my elbow length, long blonde hair. Brushing out the tangles and snarls, starting by trimming off an inch of the ends of my hair.

"I'm going to put lighter blonde highlights in your hair." Christina says grabbing tin-foil from the bag she brought, and opens a box of "Sunlight Bright" hairdye. Which looked like a very light blonde, was sure to stand out in my hair. Christina mixes up the color by following the instructions. I cringe at the smell of the newly mixed hairdye, it smells bitter. I close my eyes as I can feel Christina picking up small parts of my hair, placing them under the tin-foil. "Painting" it and folding it up. After a half hour, I check the clock and it's already nine o'clock.

"Chris, can you take this tin-foil out of my hair?" I say as she looks at the clock.

"Whoops! I should have taken them out a half hour ago." She says giggling. She unrolls the aluminum and throws it in the nearby garbage can.

"Wow." I say looking in the mirror. Speachless. My hair it looks so beautiful and more natural than it did before. She picked out a perfect color, it looks like the suns rays highlighted my hair themselves. I immediately jump off the chair and give Christina a tight hug. "Thanks so much, it looks beautiful." I say.

"Your always welcome Tris." She says, "I'm going to curl your hair now. I need to go get my curler from my apartment, I'll be right back." She hollers exiting the room. I wait for her to come back, she enters the room with a curler and a makeup bag. Silence fills the room, quickly curling my hair because we don't have much time left. Finishing off with my hair she quickly sprays it with hair spray so it will stay in it's position.

"Christina, where's the shopping bag?"

Sorry, I wish I could make it better for you but I've been working on it for nearly a full day, off and on. I don't know how to 'update' because I'm new to this. So if it says I haven't updated, I don't know how and I will still be posting chapters daily! Please keep reading and reviewing.
