Chapter 29
Tris POV
Ok, that was a gorgeous bikini but still, what happened to the good old one piece with board shorts.
I had hardly swum before I joined Dauntless because it was considered selfish to relax and enjoy yourself when you could be helping others in the community. The only time I had attempted swimming was when I saw an elderly lady had dropped what she was carrying into the lake. Needless to say that by the time I had reached the items, they had sunk down and there was no way that I could retrieve them for her. She was grateful for my attempt but I still felt bad that I had failed her. Tris, stop getting distracted.
The bikini was black, of course, but it had some parts twisted round which were held together by small gems which made it look a bit more special. I hope I can pull this off.
"If this is what I'm wearing, then what's for you?" I ask Christina.
She swiftly takes off her outer layer to reveal that she was wearing a red bikini underneath. I should have realized that she knew what was coming so was prepared.
"Don't try any of your diversion tactics on me" she giggled. "Go and put it on real quick because we've only got five minutes" she ordered.
I didn't dare not do as I was told so I grabbed the bikini and went to the cubicle to change. At least I could escape this dress. I managed to get changed pretty quickly so I quickly emerged back to Christina.
"Is this alright?" I asked her.
"You look stunning Tris, now we just need to do something with your hair and we will be all set" she replied.
I sat down on the bench as she stood behind me and started to pull and twist it into some design. She took out a small box from her bag which was filled with hair ties and pins. After attacking my head a bit more with them she pulled out a mirror to show me the finished result.
It did look pretty good I must admit. It was a bun but it had bits of twisted hair and plaits all entwined within it to make it look impressive. It felt sturdy enough to do some swimming without worrying about it falling out.
"Thanks Chris, as much as I hate to admit it, it does look great and I certainly would never have done anything even close to this" I explained.
"No problem, see, you don't need to always put up such a struggle when I try and do this for you" she grinned, happy that I liked it. "Let's get going then, everyone will be there by now".
We walk out of the changing rooms and over to the pool...
