A/N: I'm baaack! I realized that my passion for writing was to strong and I was drawn back to this story. READ ON!
Chapter 11
Vee's POV
Initiation has been postponed for the next few days because of Tilly.
Tilly, I think in grief. Suddenly, I wonder how Eric is holding up. Does he have any regret for what he has done? Or is he just bitter to the core.
Then it hits me, it's Friday! My date with Connor!
I look around for a clock and spot one that reads: 4:33.
I have about an hour and a half, and I don't have a dress!
I sprint to the dorms and scan the room until I see Soph giggling and flirting with Owen.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I need Soph!" I say quickly to Owen and tug Soph out of the dorms.
"Vee!" She says angrily, "Why would you do that? We were having a moment!"
"I have a date with a Dauntless-born tonight. It's the first date I've ever been on and I don't have a dress and I have absolutely no idea what to do with my make-up or hair. Will you quit having your 'moment' and help me?" I say quickly.
"Of course I will help you, hon! Why didn't you say that in the first place?" Soph says.
"Just don't go too overboard, I don't want to scare him off." I say.
"Me? Overboard? Puh-lease!" she says and giggles as she pulls me into the dorms.
XXXPAGEBREAKXXX
An hour later, Soph finally lets me look at myself in the mirror.
I gasp when I turn around, Soph has put my hair in a bun and let two loose strands out that frame my face. She has used light blue eye shadow around my eyes to compliment my hair colour. With liquid eyeliner and mascara to highlight my eyes.
I'm wearing a white strapless dress with a black ribbon around my waist. (Here is the link for the dress: . ) Before leaving I slip on some fancy black slip-ons.
Soph and I walk out of the dorms and she spots Owen, Tobias and a Dauntless-born sitting on one of the picnic tables by the Chasm, laughing and talking loudly.
"Wait here," Soph whispers to me and rushes over to where they're sitting.
Soph clears her throat, seeking the attention of the boys, with no luck. She clears her throat again but a bit louder. Nothing.
"Would you guys shut up and listen to me?" She says and the boys suddenly grow quiet.
"Thank you!" Soph says. "Now our friend Vee here is going on her first date tonight and I'd like to know how well I've done in getting her ready. Vee! Get over here!"
Before the guys can look in my direction I hide behind a group of people that are standing there.
"What the hell?" A familiar voice asks. I look up and see Eric, Posy and Sawyer standing with a few other people.
Perfect. Just perfect.
"What the hell, Vee!" Eric says, "What's with the dress, we're not in Amity anymore."
"I'm going on an actual date, how many have you been on since you lost your one and only girlfriend. Shouldn't you be grieving anyways?" I say and cross my arms.
"No," He sneers, "She was just an obsessive waste of my time."
"Actually, she was a human being," I say, "I living, breathing, human being. You had no right to treat her the way you did, and now she's gone because of you. You let that sink in and I'll be over there." I say and turn to walk away only to be grabbed by Soph and pulled over to where the guys were sitting.
"I found her!" Soph says and presents me to the boys.
"Well," one of the Dauntless-born says, "I feel the need to introduce myself to this lovely lady. Four, why didn't you tell me you had such pretty lady friends?"
Tobias doesn't reply, I don't know if I want to know why.
"I'm Zeke, it's a pleasure milady." He says bowing and kissing my hand.
"Alright you can cut the crap, Zeke she gets it." Tobias shouts over to him.
"I'm sorry, Four. But I like to treat the ladies in this world right." Zeke says and goes back to sit down.
"I'm guessing Soph did a good job?" I ask.
"Hell yeah!" Zeke shouts.
"That's my girl," Owen says and kisses Soph on the cheek, "She's a miracle worker."
"Excuse me?" I ask.
"No, I-I didn't mean it l-like that," He stammers.
"What he meant to say," Soph cuts in, "Is that I did an awesome job and you look absolutely ahhhmazing!"
"Thanks. So who's this Four person Zeke keeps talking about?" I say.
"Who's Four? Why, he's the bravest, strongest tribute there is!" Zeke says and pats Tobias on the back.
Tobias has a look on his face that says, I'll explain later.
Soph looks over at me and I just shrug.
"So," Zeke says, "Who's this lucky mystery man that will be accompanying you tonight?"
"Connor," I say.
"Connor Lewis?" Zeke asks, "I've known him since forever!"
"Speaking of Connor I should probably get going, see you later!" I say quickly and stalk to the dorms.
I look down to avoid making eye-contact with anyone so that they don't ask me about my outfit.
I walk right into to someone and am momentarily stunned.
"I'm so sorry!" I say quickly, "I wasn't looking where I was going."
"Vee?" The person says.
I look up and find myself face-to-face with Connor!
"Oh! Connor!" I say and Connor smiles.
"You look really pretty, Vee." He says.
I blush and look at my feet.
"So, shall we?" He says.
