When we get to school, the stadium is packed with students. There are about 3500 students in our school.
Luckily, Christina is smart and pre-bought tickets to the match so that we could get in early.
She got the best seat in the stands. Right at the railing 11 feet above the field. We place our bags along the row and set up our merch.
We keep it down though, so as to be surprised. During the waiting period, Christina pulls out her phone and starts scrolling through Instagram.
"You have an Instagram?"
Christina gasps, and looks affronted.
"Don't you? What is it? I cant believe I haven't asked you until now!"
"No I don't."
Shauna and Marlene yell in unison – "Make one!"
I raise my hands and pull out my phone. She downloads the app, and begins to instruct me but I soon wave her off.
"I know how to use Instagram."
"Oh. Follow me!"
I laugh and find her username;
DauntlessChris2
She has 2410 followers. Jesus.
I follow her, and look at her pictures. She has about fifteen selfies, four of them have me with her, smiling up at the camera.
I lke them all. She only has about 25 posts, so it isn't hard t catch on.
"Me next!" Shauna declares.
I find her.
ShaunaRox1
She has 1426 followers. Holy crap. They are more popular then I thought. She too has a bunch of selfies. I am in two of them.
Marlene is next.
MarzipanTurtle
"Cool name." I smile at her.
"Right? Original."
"I seriously love it."
She has 3167 followers. This is getting insane.
"Why the hell do you have so many followers?"
"Because we rule!"
Its Uriah that answers. His insta is
PedradKing
And he has 3004 followers. Shit. I have 4. I laugh at myself, but soon my phone is vibrating. Christina, Marlene, and Uriah tag me in their photos.
"Get a profile picture. Eek! I have the perfect one!"
Christina texts me with lightning quickness.
A picture comes up from a few weeks back. I am wearing a silky gray hoodie with my long hair down. It hangs down and falls around my breasts.
I am smiling calmly at her in the Allegiance Park meadow.
I shrug and place it in. Suddenly, there is a series of clicks and I soon get four more pop ups saying that they each took a picture of me.
They al shouted me out. Jesus.
I put my phone in my back pocket, and look around the stadium. Colors are flooding in now. The Erudite hold black and white flags – they are Dauntless's rival. Amity comes in holding neutral signs – of course, but the Abnegation surprisingly come in Black.
"The Abs are with us?" I murmur to Christina.
She looks bewildered and shocked. A passing Abnegation tells us – "Whatever side Erudites on we are on the other.
I give her a nod of understanding and she moves on.
Suddenly a microphone rings out through the stadium, which falls silent.
"Welcome to the first match of the Faction Season!"
A deafening roar echoes from the crowd. There are more Dauntless supporters than Candor so the chant of "Dauntless!" is overpowering.
"So. So!" The voice gets louder and the crowd settles once more.
"So Welcome first – The Candor Team!"
As the white Uniformed players with black sleeves charge onto the field the Dauntless and Abnegation stay dead quiet. And I mean not a muscle is moved.
As the announcer announces each position and the crowd settles, we prepare our banners and take off our jackets.
"Now please welcome – The Dauntless!"
You have never heard a cheer like this.
The world seems to explode with screams. As Four, Zeke and Will run out on the field Uriah plays All I Do Is Win by DJ Khalid to the wireless speakers around the stadium and we raise the banners and our merch.
They wave at us and pump their fists at us as we cheer.
When the game starts, I can immediately see why Zeke was so upset that Four couldn't make it.
When Four catches the hike, he bounces on his toes until the last second before he throws it to Sebastian, yes – my cousin Sebastian, catches it and sprints down the line.
Now I don't know a lot about Football but I can tell that Dauntless is crushing Candor.
When the game ends the score is 34 to 14. Dauntless.
I looka round and see multiple signs that say:
'ILY FOUREVER'
and
'BE MINE FOUR GOOD! GO DAUNTLESS!'
and I smirk. As we head to the locker rooms I feel my phone buzzing.
All instagram. I open it.
I have 742 followers.
"What the hell?"
"Your welcome."
They all wink at me and I shake my head as we open the locker room doors to cheering Dauntless.
Please Review. Shout to the supportive MarzipanTurtle. 3
