Tris POV

After school, Four and all his buddies had plans, so I was forced to tag along. You would think that since it was the first day of this whole ordeal Four would have not made plans with his plans, but no. I am no reason to change or mess with his social life.

They dragged me to this place called the pit. Well maybe dragged is a bit of an exaggeration, but who cares. When I first asked where we were going and Four told me the pit I thought it was all some practical joke. You know, lets trick that loser girl Tris into thinking were going to this imaginary place with a weird name the pit and actually end up going to the movies.

After I called bullshit on him he explained that we were actually going to a place called the pit. I was still skeptical but it's not like it really mattered if I believed that we were going to this mysterious place called the pit. It's not like it would change our final destination. So I did what I always seem to do in life and just let things play out with no interruption from me.

We eventually arrived at this weird rock formation in the middle of nowhere. Now I don't use the phrase in the middle of nowhere lightly. We literally turned onto a dirt road off of the highway and drove a half hour on this suspicious road to arrive at this shit hole. At least it looked like a shit hole from the outside.

We walked into this random and well-hidden opening in the rock. Four and his friends were walking ahead of me talking about random shit that I honestly didn't give a fuck about. We proceeded to walk through this seemingly unending tunnel for probably five minutes. As we were walking I kept thinking that this is some joke. I mean why would any sane person go through all the trouble to get somewhere. It seemed impractical.

That was until we finally reached our destination. Before Four and his friends moved form blocking the tunnel exit they warned me to be careful and not try to commit suicide since apparently its happened one time too many. I was beginning to doubt their sanity. What kind of place are we at that has had so many suicides committed there that they needed to warn newcomers not to kill themselves.

After the group exited into whatever lays out of the tunnel, I cautiously stepped out of the tunnel. I found myself standing on a thin rock path with no handrail in a large pit. There is really no other way to describe it. I immediately understood why they called it the pit. It was truly amazing. The path I was standing on winded down the pit clinging to the sides. Off of the path there were shops, a tattoo parlor, hair salon, nail salon, market, and anything else you could imagine including a movie theatre.

While all of this was impressive, the centerpiece of sorts of the pit was the huge waterfall on one side. Four and his friends, I really should learn their names, were all standing by a railing next to the waterfall looking at me. I slowly approached them. One of them motioned for me to move faster so I sped up my pace and walked normally, embarrassed for some reason. Why should I care what they think of me?

"It's pretty amazing isn't it?" Four asks me.

I looked at him for a second to see if he was serious and he looked like he was so I just shrugged. Then one of his friends came over. Four started questioning her on her intentions, which I found extremely rude of him but that's not my problem. I did manage to learn her name though. It's Christina and she doesn't seem so bad. At least not as bad as Mr. Four.

"This is our go to place," she begins to explain to me, "It's not really crowded and its far away from the rest of our lives which is something all of us like about it. They also have some pretty cool stores for when you're ready for a make over. Not that I don't like the way you dress or anything it's just that it doesn't really show off you're figure at all. And most importantly the chasm, which is what the waterfall is called, gives this place a cool feel. Along with the fact that we're in a pit in the middle of a rock structure in the middle of nowhere. Sorry for rambling. Anyways, we all d our homework at this café in the pit so were going to head down there now just so you know. Oh and this is a daily occurrence."

Wow! She can talk a lot. I'm not sure how I should feel about her wanting to give me a make over but I can tell you it's not gonna happen. The one thing that she said that I couldn't get out of my head though is how they all like it because they can get away from the rest of their lives. What do they have to escape?

Four POV

As usual, the gang is going to the pit after school. I don't really want to bring Tris to the pit because I feel like she won't appreciate it and will ruin the escape that is the pit for me. I don't have a choice though cause 1. The group is making me take her and 2. I wouldn't miss a trip to the pit for anything and Tris and I have to stick together.

Tris asked me where we were going so I told her the pit hoping that would be the end of the conversation, but it wasn't. She called bullshit on me thinking I was making up the pit. God could she just shut up. I really don't want her to mess this up for me. I explain to her that the pit is a real place that we were actually going to.

I could see the suspicion on her face as I turned onto the dirt road that takes you to the pit. The suspicion only grew as we pulled up in front of the rock structure that houses the pit. Once we entered the tunnel that leads to the pit me, Zeke, Shauna, Christina, Will, Uriah, Marlene, and Lynn walked together talking about how our last paint ball game ended. Tris was just walking behind us obviously trying to tune out what we were saying.

Once we reached the tunnel exit we all turned around to face Tris and Zeke gave her the whole be safe and don't kill yourself speech. We all walked over to stand by the chasm and watch Tris see the pit for the first time. It really is impressive and you can see shock written all over Tris' face.

Finally she turns and slowly starts walking towards us. Uriah beckons for her to move faster so she starts to walk faster and finally makes it to us. I make some comment about the beauty of the pit or something like that and she stares at me for a few seconds. After she finally concludes that I wasn't tricking her or something, she shrugs.

Christina comes over and I begin to question what her intentions are. After allowing Christina to "introduce" Tris to the pit, I stand with everyone else waiting for Tris to be ready to go to the café.
