Sorry guys this chapter is really short it's just that it's kinda 10:30 and my parents are sleeping in the next room and they think I'm asleep and they hate it when I'm on my computer this late. Sooo yeah. I hope it isn't too bad considering. I don't think Veronica Roth has that problem. So I'm not Veronica Roth. Or owner of Divergent
Like Samantha and I promised, we go shopping with Leah. BUT we drag Matt and Chris along just for good measure.
"Yay! I've never had a boy to do a makeover on!" Leah says.
"A makeover? What are you talking about? No one is giving me a makeover today." Chris says.
"Oh really? So you're just going to stay nerdy the rest of your life? Because I can tell you one thing. No nerdy guys get dates on the Dauntless Compound, only the edgy ones. So do you ever want to get laid?" Leah asks.
He stares at her, she already knows the answer to that one. "Alright then! Where to first? Ahh to get some clothes for Miss Samantha and Jenny!"
We walk over to a store that has rows and rows of clothes, shoes, and accessories. But everything is black. "Everything's black Leah."
"I know, isn't it great?!" I don't understand, you'd think she'd want more colors since she's obsessed with fashion. "Okay, so we need some workout clothes, some casual clothes, party clothes, shoes…then we need to find a makeup store." I stop listening after that, I'll just be Leah's personal Barbie doll. She puts me in all these silly outfits that I don't feel the least bit comfortable in, but when I find a few outfits that I actually like and wear one out, I feel more confident. We go to a makeup store. No one wore makeup in Erudite, it was seen as a distraction from the work people did.
"Okay, Jenny I'm just going to put a little liner and mascara—"
"You already know that I'm not pretty, why are you even trying?"
"Who says you aren't pretty? Have you seen your eyes with that hair? GOR-GEOUS! We just need to make them have more emotion, you know?"
"I guess." I reply. After she does this, I have to admit that I do look like a different person, that my eyes show more emotion and I like it. Right after I pay for my makeup and get out of the shop I run straight into Daniel and fall over.
"Oh my god, Jenny are you alright?" He asks.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I look up and smile at him.
"Hey, I was wondering, some of the Dauntless borns are getting together tomorrow night, would you want to come? I might be able to convince them to allow your transfer friends to come." He looks a bit nervous, my friends are almost to another store.
"I'd really love that Daniel." I start walking backwards as I wave goodbye almost running into a man holding very sharp knives, I turn beet red as he laughs. "Just tell me when and where, when you know ." I yell and run off towards my transfer friends.
I retreat to my friends. "So what was that about?" Matt asks.
"Nothing." I say too quickly and bite the inside of my cheek.
"You're lying, you're biting the inside of your cheek. That's your tell. Now spit it out." Matt says.
"He invited me to a party, he says it's Dauntless borns only, but he's going to try to let you guys in." I say the last part in a rush.
"I think that's amazing! He must really like you Jenny if he's willing to bend the rules for you!" Leah says.
"Hardly." I say, but I can't help wondering if it's true.
