A loud banging woke Nix up followed by brightness illuminating the dark room, she placed her hands over her eyes quickly to shield them from the light and rolled over onto her side.

She let out a quiet moan then gradually brought her hands away and took a peak in the direction of the noise, other initiates around the room were doing the same thing, her eyes found Adam at the top of the stairs that led into the dormitory and he had a cup which she assumed he'd used to bang against the railings of the stairs in his hand.

"Rise and Shine." he called out to them and some people groaned in response, Nix sat up in bed and rubbed her face gently, "First day of training, it's seven thirty five...you have from now until eight to get changed, have breakfast then meet in the pit...don't be late or points will be deducted."

There was silence in the room after he'd spoken and Nix noticed that he'd already left, she glanced around the others briefly and saw that the majority of them seamed to still be in bed half asleep or they were in the process of laying back down.

"Points?" a voice asked followed by a yawn and Nix turned her head to see Andie sitting up in the bed next to her.

"Morning." Nix said.

"Good morning." Andie replied with a smile.

"When did you get in?" Nix asked sheepishly, when she'd returned to the dormitory the night before it hadn't taken her long to fall asleep and she'd not heard Andie or anyone else coming back.

"Around...twelve? Maybe just after it." Andie replied with another yawn and began to get slowly out of bed.

"Andie I'm so sorry, It's not fair that you were punished, it should have been me." Nix said as she too began to get out of bed, some of the other initiates around them gradually began to copy their actions but most were still in bed.

"Don't worry about it Nix, it wasn't actually as bad as I thought it would be." Andie said as she made her way to her trunk at the bottom of her bed to retrieve her things.

"That doesn't make it fair, it was my fault." she replied as she too went to her own trunk to bring out her wash bag and fresh clothes, these clothes were the right size for her this time, when she'd come back the night before she found them in piles on her bed and the larger ones were all gone, her boots had been replaced too.

"Really Nix, it's okay." Andie said with a smile, "Come on, lets get in there before the others fully wake up."

Both girls headed for the bathroom with their wash bags in hand and when they stepped inside they headed to two sinks, Nix switched on the hot water and was surprised to find it was really hot, she expected it to need at least a minute to heat up regarding how old the bathroom looked.

"Was there...a lot to do?" she asked Andie quietly.

"Yeah." Andie said and Nix made a face, "I told you...don't worry about it."

Nix began to brush her teeth and Andie did too, once they had done that they used a facecloth to give their faces a clean.

"I got talking to this dauntless girl who works in the kitchen, she was an initiate last year, she's really nice I think you'd like her...she was a candor transfer." Andie said as they both began to sort their hair.

"Oh really?" Nix asked as she pulled her hair up into a ponytail and Andie nodded, "Did you tell her why you were there?"

Andie laughed, "Nix how many times? It's fine."

"I just feel really bad." Nix replied to her as some more initiated began heading into the bathroom, Andie smiled at them and said good morning and she received either a glare or no recognition at all in return.

"Friendly bunch." she said sarcastically as she and Nix left the bathroom and headed for their beds.

"What time is it?" Nix asked and Andie shrugged.

"No idea but we had better hurry for some food before our training starts, something tells me it's going to be a long and hard day." she said and Nix nodded.

O

Once the girls had changed they made their way to breakfast and as they walked Nix couldn't help but smile because she felt so much more comfortable in clothes that actually fit her.

When the girls arrived in the dining hall they were grateful to find that there wasn't nearly as much people in it this morning as there had been the previous night, that was probably because no one else had to be up this early right now.

"Ladies." a voice called out to them from a table near the entrance, there were five male dauntless members sat at it eating breakfast and two of them were familiar, one of them...the guy that called them over, was the dauntless born initiate Mark from the day before, the first jumper and the one that thought it was okay to put his hands on both Nix and Andie's bottom's.

The other familiar face was the man that had spoken with Andie on the train, Nix looked at her and saw that when she noticed the man she tried to turn away and disappear but before she could Nix impulsively took a hold of her arm and walked them both towards the table.

"Nix." Andie said under her breath as they approached the table, Nix only shrugged and smiled in response.

"Good morning." Mark said when they appeared.

"Morning." Nix replied then after a moment of silence passed she nudged Andie beside her.

"Hey." Andie said and tucked a piece of loose hair behind her ear.

"Will you sit?" Mark asked them with a grin and Andie started to protest.

"Of course, thank you." Nix immediately spoke over Andie and began to take a seat next to a dauntless member, the man beside Mark grinned at Andie as she sat down across from him, glaring at Nix as she did.

"So how are you this morning girls?" Mark asked as he began filling up their cups infront of them with juice, he then went on to ask with a grin, "Cry yourselves to sleep last night?"

"No we didn't." Nix replied in an irritated voice and then she nodded at her cup in thanks before looking back at him and smiling sweetly, "How are you this morning?"

"Oh I'm just Peachy." Mark replied immediately with a wink and he tilted his head to the side and glanced down the side of Nix, she rolled her eyes at him and made a noise of disgust.

"Are you always this...brash?" she asked him as she took a sip of juice, it was refreshing.

"Here Nix, some toast." Andie said to her as she placed some on her tray, Nix had never had toasted bread before, she'd always had oatmeal for her breakfast, "Put some butter on it or jam, makes it taste nicer."

"Thanks." she said to Andie before she picked up her knife and reached for the butter that Andie had pointed to, she then began to spread it over her toast slowly.

"Nix?" the man beside Mark asked and she looked at him and nodded, he held his hand out to her, "Nice to meet you, I'm Bill...and to answer your question, yes, he is always this brash."

Nix shook his hand with a smile, "I thought so...this is Andie."

Bill grinned at her and turned to look at Andie who was now burning a hole in the side of her head.

"Andie." he said and she looked at him, he then held his hand out to her, "It's nice to finally put a name to the face that I've not stopped thinking about since yesterday afternoon."

Andie blushed crimson at his words as she shook his hand and then she started to busy herself with her own toast, Nix felt a laugh bubbling in her throat at Andie's reaction and she had to try hard to keep it hidden.

"Easy there Billy, she's a bit young for you." Mark said and patted Bill on the back hard which caused the man to sit up straight in his seat.

"Woman prefer men...not boys." Bill replied and patted Mark on the back even harder causing his body to lurch forward, "Little brother."

Nix and Andie both looked at Bill after he added the last bit on to his words and Nix was the one who spoke first, "Brother?"

"That's right." Bill said with a grin.

"You do look similar." Andie said.

"I hope you agree that I'm better looking?" Bill asked with a wink and Andie was suddenly at a loss for words, a silence then fell over the table after that and the other members sat around it seamed to now be grinning amongst each other and Andie's blush only grew more prominent on her face.

Nix looked from her to Bill briefly before she decided to jump in to take some of the unwanted attention away from the girl, "Well you certainly seam to have the better manners...so far anyway."

"Better manners?" Bill asked immediately, his grin replaced with confusion, he then looked at Mark, "What have you been doing?"

"Nothing." Mark said with a grin.

"Yeah nothing...if you call 'nothing' grabbing both of our asses yesterday." Andie replied and Bill's eyes shot to her before he turned and glared at Mark.

"Technically I only slapped hers." Mark said and pointed at Nix who narrowed her eyes at him and he then looked back at Andie and said with a wink, "But I gave yours a good grab."

Andie let out a shocked gasp as Bill's hand suddenly lifted and slapped Mark over the back of the head hard, "What have I told you?!"

"Ow! Dick." Mark said with a glare at his brother who then slapped the back of his head again, Nix and Andie both glanced at each other as they watched the exchange and they noticed that some of the other members at the table shook their heads at the brothers before they went back to eating their breakfast.

"Have some respect for women you punk." Bill said after he grabbed the collar of Mark's jacket.

"Let me go!" Mark snapped at Bill who then did let go of his collar and the younger sibling elbowed his brother in return.

Nix glanced behind the brothers just as Eric walked towards their table and at the sight of him her stomach fell, she then glanced down at her toast and forced herself to take another bite, her chewing was slow as her appetite began to gradually disappear as he approached.

"What's the problem here?" he asked as he stood behind the brothers.

"No problem, my brother just needs to learn to keep his hands to himself that's all." Bill replied as he glared at his younger brother.

"Oh?" Eric said to Bill but his eyes were on Nix, she could feel his gaze as she took a sip of her juice.

"I'm a guy, can you really blame me?" Mark snapped at Bill who jabbed him with his elbow and shot back at him 'punk' before he shoved some eggs in his mouth.

"Like you wouldn't have tried it if the opportunity was infront of you." Mark said to Bill who shook his head at his brother, the boy then looked at the girls and gave them a smirk before he said, "Couldn't help myself ladies."

"In future, no touching." Andie told him sternly.

"If I was my brother it would be a different story though right? You'd let him touch you in all kinds of places!" Mark said with a laugh and Eric rolled his eyes.

"Watch your mouth." Bill told him in a threatening voice and Andie looked down at her tray.

"You know...you're not only rude you're also obnoxious." Nix found herself saying and Mark let out another laugh.

"What's the big deal? It's a compliment...especially for you." he replied and gestured to her and she saw Eric's eyes dart to her at what he said, "You'd be lucky if you can even call what you have an ass!"

Her eyes widened in response and Andie gaped, Bill's head turned to his brother and he lifted his hand to hit him again but another beat him to it.

Eric whacked Mark hard over the back of the head and just as the boy began to complain he grabbed the back of his neck and pressed his head down into the table, causing a jug of water to spill over it in the process.

The rest of the men at the table complained about the spilled water that was now going everywhere and Nix, Andie and Bill leaned away from it.

"Ow man! What the hell?!" Mark complained then groaned loudly as Eric squeezed his neck.

"Hey Eric, wanna ease up?" Bill asked from beside their leader as he stood up from his seat.

"I'm really not in the mood to listen to assholes today Benson." Eric said in a low menacing voice to Mark as he applied more pressure to him, ignoring the boy's brother.

"Get off me!" Mark snapped angrily as his face began to redden.

"Don't forget who you're talking to initiate." Eric practically growled at Mark before he eventually let him up and as soon as he did the boy stormed off in a huff.

There was a silence that fell upon the table after that then Bill sat down and went back to eating his breakfast.

Eric looked at Nix and Andie then said, "Being late on your first day won't help your points."

Andie turned her head to look at Nix and whispered, "What points?"

"What you'll lose if you're not in the pit in one minute." Eric replied, she and Nix then both looked at one another briefly before they looked back at him and a beat passed before he said, "Fifty five seconds."

They both then shot up from their seats and took off in the direction of the pit quickly.
