Chapter 7
The Erudite clap for me as I walk towards them, I sit next to the Abnegation boy as the Ceremony continues. When the Ceremony is over, I follow the flow of Erudite out of the Hub, and onto one of the four buses. One for each of the factions, except Dauntless of course.
The ride to Erudite Headquarters is short, since both the Hub building and Erudite Headquarters are in the middle of the city. The flow of people then lead me into a big glass building, the Erudite lobby.
Once inside, I see that the walls are covered in books, with computers on tables by the edges of the room. Figures, the Erudite lobby is a library.
"Excuse me," everybody looks to the front of the room and sees a tall blond woman standing in front of them, "thank you. I am Jeanine Matthews, leader of Erudite, welcome initiates. Now, Erudite initiation takes place over a time of one month, during this time transfers and Erudite-borns will sleep in different dormitories, but you will all be tested together. Cassidy, you will take the Erudite-borns to their dormitories, and Abby, you will take the transfers to their dormitories."
A tall, dark haired woman, Abby, steps forward and motions us to follow her. She leads us to one of the elevators at the end of the hall, the Erudite-borns go into the other one. We take the elevator to the 3rd floor, the doors open up to a long hallway. Abby leads us to the first door we see, which is labeled Transferred Initiates Dormitory.
Convenient, I think.
"I will come back for you at approximately 7:45 a.m. since your first lesson begins at 8:00 a.m. Of course you will need to buy new clothing, to get to the clothing store, just check the Erudite campus map in the lobby. Also, you're going to need these," said Abby, handing us plastic cards, "these are credit cards, you will get a certain amount of credits each month to spend at the clothing store."
With that, Abby closes the door and leaves us alone.
