A/N Sorry I didn't get one up yesterday, Switch took longer than expected to type, and I barely gave myself enough time to type one chapter, much less 3,000-ish words on 3 different stories. Disclaimer chapter 11.
Tobias's P.O.V. (for a long due change!)
Today is Saturday, so Tris and I decide to go house hunting, literally. We called the show, and they've agreed to film our journey. The camera crew shows up at our house at 8:00, so we explain what our wishlist is. We hope to stay in the same neighborhood, or near it, and we establish our budget, money I got that was Marcus's, since he has no use for it. The camera men record this, since our realtor already knows this information.
She takes us to a large, and spacious home a few blocks from our current house, and we like it, but it almost seems too large for a young couple and their daughter.
Next, our realtor takes us to another house, and as soon as we begin near the driveway, I can't bring myself to it. It is the old house, Marcus's. Mindy, the realtor, quickly apologizes, and brings us to another house, and although it is a better size, it is outside of our ideal price range, although easily reachable, and has a few things that need to be remodeled.
Finally, we find a house that is way below our price range, up to date, and has everything we could ever want. We don't even have to think about the decision, we just make it. The house will be ours pretty soon.
Tris tells Christina, and she insists on decorating every room in the house, which is scary, so we make her promise to make it the way that WE want it.
The rest of the day is spent shopping, which neither Tris nor I really enjoy, but we tolerate since it is shopping for Blythe, who came house hunting with us. She has grown quite a bit lately, so much so that she cannot wear her half of her clothes.
We head home after this to eat some dinner since Natalie's food is just as good, if not better than many of the restaurants we would've chosen. In addition to this, Blythe was getting cranky, and needed so food and a nap.
-Monday time for class-
Today, Eric explains to us why we are going through this initiation.
"This process teaches you to not give up throughout life, and to preserver until you can do what you are trying to do. This is also part of the reason we have such good football and wrestling teams." Eric explains.
Now, this seemingly torture has a purpose in everyone's brains, so maybe we can get through this quickly now. I don't think the training in fighting will last much longer, since none of the other tasks have lasted more than a day.
We fight other people today, people that we don't know, and I get Al, while Tris gets Molly. We both win, and Eric congratulates us, but only briefly. That is proof that he followed us Friday, and I can tell Tris gets it, too.
We go home after everyone has fought, and Eric has announced that we will start normal classes the day after next. I am kind of excited to move on because as soon as normal classes start, so do basketball and football tryouts, and eventually practices. I think that Tris wants normal classes to start, too because she wants to be a cheerleader again this year.
-The next day-
Fights go well, Tris beats Lynn, and I beat Will, then Tris and Marlene fight after Zeke and I do. We both win our fights, but Eric doesn't make us fight each other in the end. I'm assuming it's because it "drove us together" last time and he didn't like that.
We finish the day with food from the campus instead of at home since we're here later and I want cake. When we get home, I go upstair and get ready for bed, then slip into Tris's room. She is already laying down, and after I do, Blythe starts to cry, so I run into the nursery and change her diaper. I have to get up multiple times during the night, but it's better than Tris getting up, so I don't mind.
-School the next day-
We walk into our training room, but today it has been converted into a giant science lab. I guess we have biology first. Our teacher is Mr. Max, and although he is chill, I can tell that this will be a difficult class for everyone.
Next, we have history. It is taught by Mr. Scott (Lol using my history teacher cuz I couldn't think of anything else) and it is an easy class with an easy teacher.
Next, we have algebra II, and our classes are over for the day. I have football tryouts now, and then basketball tomorrow. Football tryouts are pretty easy, and although Dauntless has the best team in the state, I do pretty well amongst even the top player last year. I feel good.
-The next day-
Football tryouts results are posted today, and I make the team as star quarterback. Zeke and Uri also make it in good positions as linebackers.
Our classes are different today, philosophy, English, and then Latin. Today passes by slowly, because we have difficult classes with even more impossible teachers.
Today is basketball tryouts, and I do pretty well again, and I am sure of that when I make the team, along with Will, Uri, and Zeke. I'm on a winning streak and nothing can bring me down, at least I thought...
A/N A little shorter than I wanted, but that was a good place to stop, I think. Thanks for reading!
