Natalia's POV

When they neared what Four called the chasm, Natalia was still near the front with her friends and cousin. The water smelt fresh, but the drop looked deadly. He explained that people have jumped, and it was beyond dangerous. She thought anyone would be stupid to believe that they could survive the jump, realizing that they had obviously done it on purpose.

She felt herself pale at the thought of jumping and Matthew pulled her away from the railing. She mentally scolded herself for the dumb thought and her heart pinched in pain.

The thought of anyone committing suicide made her sick. How could it not, though?

As they followed the trainers Daniel and Mac joked quietly with the Amity boy that had jumped fifth, she had missed his name. As they continued down a narrower hallway he tripped bumped into her, forcing her into Elizabeth, who had been walking behind them. He began apologizing immediately asking if she was alright. She smiled at him and nodded, he reminded her of Nolan except he was tall with black hair and tanned skin, with deep brown eyes. He smiled back, raising his hand, beginning to introduce himself

"I'm Jacob..." He was interrupted by an obnoxious female voice "watch where you're going hippie!"

Natalia was taken aback, though she shouldn't have been after a life in Candor. A Candor would not have scolded someone for making a mistake, especially if they apologized for turned to see that it was Elizabeth who had spoken. Natalia immediately felt a surge of annoyance course through her veins. She thought that she looked like a spoiled bitch, the fact that Matthew hated her definitely didn't help with Natalia's quick judgment of the girl.

Natalia glared at Elizabeth, feeling her inner Candor side rise to the occasion, she snapped and stepped toward her "he said it was an accident"

Elizabeth flinched, but folded her arms. Pretending that Natalia hadn't seen the flinch, she returned the glare. "I don't care he should watch where he's going," she replied sourly, looking Natalia up and down.

"Natalia. she is not worth the argument." Matthew told her.

She ignored him, "Oh please, like anyone wants to touch you intentionally," Natalia retorted, her Candor side coming out, she began walking away. An "oooh" came from Mac behind her, along with a few snickers from the crowd of initiates that had stopped to watch the altercation.

Elizabeth laughed, oblivious to the fact that Natalia knew body language so well that she could tell she wasn't comfortable with confrontation, "yeah right, the hippy probably did it on purpose to..."

Natalia felt her jaw clench again, her anger searing rapidly as she took another step toward her, interrupting her mid-sentence, much like a Dauntless or Candor would. She understood SO WELL why many Erudite hated this girl so much.

"I'm from Candor, I can read body language, and I can assure you that he didn't.." Natalia began to reply but was interrupted by someone walking through the crowd of initiates.

"Are you joking me? You've been here five god-damned minutes, and you are already bickering with each other? Great! Just fucking great!" Natalia turned to see that it was one of the female trainers, Lauren, speaking to them.

Lauren looked to Mac and asked him what happened.

"I don't know; I was just hoping they'd start wrestling!" Mac replied jokingly, his eyes wide, gathering a laugh from the crowd.

Lauren glared at him, "you aren't funny Mac."

Natalia hid her amusement behind her hand; she could tell Mac was known for his light mood. She felt her anger begin to calm until she looked back at Elizabeth's face.

She heard Lauren mutter under her breath and glared at another trainer who was laughing with the crowd, Uriah. He coughed, then told them to move along and gestured them forward. Natalia glared at Elizabeth as she followed her friends, Daniel walking behind her.

"Bitch."

Natalia quickly turned around, ready to show her how truly bitchy she could be.

"OOMPH." To her dismay, she ran into Daniel, who began pushing her toward the direction she had been going.

"Listen to him; she's not worth your time," he told her. She heard Mac pipe up that she would get the chance to shut her up in training.

She noticed that Andrea was ahead of the group, she was smirking and glancing behind her as she whispered to the two Dauntless men she was with. As they stopped she nodded to Natalia, who overheard her tell the trainers that they would see them later on, walking down a side-hallway. Eric and two other men following shortly after.

They began walking again and continued until reaching the end of a long hallway, finding a huge room with at least thirty bunk beds. Natalia walked to one of the beds place in the corner as the group filed in.

"Who's room is this?" a girl asked. Natalia had already guessed it was meant for them to share, a fact she hadn't known about the Dauntless training.

"All of yours" she heard Four reply to them humorously.

She heard Mac tell Callie "hell yes" who punched him in the arm. A chuckle rang through the room.

The trainers announced that curfew was at ten that evening, explained a few rules, and left them on their own. The group dispersed to choose beds and look at the shared bathroom. Natalia chose the bed in the corner she was standing at.

"I'm bunking above you, Natalia!" Mac yelled at her. Matthew looked at him and took off his blue jacket, setting it on Natalia's top bunk.

"Orrrrr noooottttt," Mac said and jumped on the one above the bed Daniel was sitting on. Andrew chose the bottom bunk next to her, with Justin choosing the bunk above him. The Dauntless clothing for transfers was laid out on a table near the entrance to the shared bathroom.

Natalia grabbed tight black jeans with a dark gray long-sleeved shit, and some black socks with small black boots. She watched the other female transfers walked to the bathroom to use the shower stalls to change, the boys and a Candor girl named Abby is not bothering to cover up. Natalia didn't quite care about covering up, so long as no one made comments or went near her. Even the comments she could ignore easily. She figured the rest of them would get used to the small space as well.

"You two seem quiet for Candor you know," Callie observed, speaking to her and Justin as they all sat on their beds. "Usually, you all don't shut up!"

Natalia laughed, "there's a reason I'm not in Candor anymore," she replied as Justin agreed in nodding his head. "I don't want everyone knowing every single thing that is on my mind," she continued.

They all looked over as they heard a crash, Mac had hit his foot getting off his bunk, "mother fucker! Screw this! Daniel give me the bottom bunk!" Daniel stood up and told him no, and they began fighting playfully next to their bed.

Natalia realized that it was probably common since only the transfers were watching them.

"Je me Suis fait une terrible erreur (I've made a terrible mistake)!" Matthew drawled to Natalia.

She couldn't help but laugh, "cesser d'être dramatique, vous avez une aptitude pour cette (stop being dramatic, you have an aptitude for this),' she replied to him, taking longer to think of the entire sentence. She was fluent in French, but still struggled. She had only been learning for two years, whereas her cousin had been learning for most of his life.

Matthew smiled, he usually helped her when she struggled.

Since Andrew couldn't even understand them, she ignored them when they spoke French to one another. Everyone else looked at them strangely. Only the best of Erudite were taught secondary languages; they had to test well enough in certain subjects to have the opportunity. Natalia had been lucky to test well enough, and being in Candor, so it was rare for her to have been given the chance.

"You know another language?" Daniel walked over to her and raised his arms to lean against their bunk bed. "Not going to lie, that's hot," he smiled at her, "say something again?"

"Yes dauntless sont assez coquette (these dauntless are quite flirtatious)!" Matthew told her,

Natalia ignored Daniel and looked to Matthew again, "Oui, mais il est plutôt mignon vous ne pensez pas (yes, but he's rather cute, don't you think)?" She smirked at him and replied.

Matthew responded to her with a scoff as he rolled his eyes.

Daniel's smile grew, "what are you two saying?"

Natalia stood from her new bed and stood next to him. She folded her arms and glanced him up and down, "Il ne semble pas mon type, fait-il? (he doesn't seem like my type, does he?)" she said looking at Daniel, but speaking to Matthew.

Matthew scoffed again, "Pas comme ça va vous arrêter (not like that will stop you)," he replied.

"Hey!" she exclaimed, picked up her pillow and hitting him with it.

Matthew began laughing, "I'm only joking!" he told her as she stopped. "Well, sort of," he said again smiling.

Natalia threw her pillow at him again.

"I'm hungry!" Mac yelled from across the room. Daniel agreed and offered to show them where the cafeteria was.

Natalia nodded in response as Andrew spoke up, "I hope the food is good.."
