CHAPTER ONE
I looks myself over in the mirror and turn to my friend guffawing at his appearance. I'm in his joggers and hoodie, which are so big they look like they're drowning me and he's in some skinny jeans, a top and my leather jacket. "I swear if you break my jacket, I'll kill you!" I say trying to compose myself. I'm never seen without that jacket. "I got it, I got it, alright mission is go!" We complete our handshake and he runs off to work at the fence.
I turn on my heel and trudge my way across the pit, dragging my aching feet and grumbling to myself. I raise my hand in greeting as I pass Tori, who grins, and I begin the assent to the control room.
When I slip through the door, I talk to Sam. I know pretty much everyone in here but that's what happens when your best friend wants you to spend your days off with them on an 8-hour shift. "Smidge! He's not here yet." I grin. "What do you mean? It's me Zeke." He raises and eyebrow.
"Keep quiet Giganto." I whisper and he does the same, "Do I want to know?" I grin and tell him, "Trying to convince everyone we swapped bodies." He silently laughs and puts his finger to his lips, "Your secrets safe with me." I return his smile and sit at a computer screen eating a muffin. We came up with those nicknames because he's like double the size of me and it looks so comical when I'm stood next to him.
I get weird looks all morning, but I shrug them off until Four sits down next to me. "Tris?" I turn and wipe my expression. I see Sam watching the interaction out the corner of my eye and roll my eyes. "Jesus! Why does everyone say that! What kind of a joke is this?! I'm more awesome than her anyway, I'm Zeke." I say adamantly, crossing my arms. He looks concerned, "Sure, but have you seen your reflection this morning?" I nod, "Yes, I am a beast!" That's such a Zeke thing to say that he doesn't question it. He just holds up his camera so I can see myself and I fall off the chair, clutching my heart dramatically, "OH MY PANSYCAKES, WHAT THE HELL! WHY DO I LOOK LIKE TRIS?" I shout and the tears start falling down Fours face, his body shaking with laughter.
I get up and sprint out the control room with him hot on my heels and make it to the fence. I feel like if it was anywhere else they'd be worried but it's Dauntless so it's normal. "TRIS? TRIS! WHERE ARE YOU?" I yell and make it up the ladder.
The confusion etched onto everyone's faces is priceless but I control myself. I see his eyes widen. "WHAT THE HELL? WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE ME?" He screeches and I return the favour "WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE ME?" We stand there looking horrified until Will speaks up. "Wait a minute. Show me your bracelets." We both hold up our wrists so they can look. We have matching bracelets that we bought when I passed initiation, they are adorned with a letter charm for our initial and a Dauntless Cake symbol. "Oh Damn, they've got they've got the right bracelet for who they claim they are." Uriah suddenly shouts from next to me, "Did they- Did they swap bodies?"
We sito the ground wailing and clutching each other. "She's lucky, she got my good looks!" I cry and he looks angry, "Hey I'm the pretty oneee!" he says and we carry on sobbing. Pretty talented acting on our part I must say.
By now we've caused quite a commotion because everyone is stood at the bottom of the wall staring at us. Our friends look panic stricken and I think Uri's nearly pulled out all his hair. I spot Sam struggling to hide his smirk and the rest of the crowd are torn between laughter, confusion and concern.
Max steps forward trying to assess the situation. "What is going on here?" He looks down at us and sighs. "You two. I should've known."
We carry on faking distress as a close to tears Christina tries to explain the problem. Shauna looks disgruntled and Marlene is trying to calm Zeke's hyperventilating brother. Lynn and Four are leaning against each other just watching the scene unfold.
We wait until they stop talking and burst out laughing. "You- You-" he says, collapsing again and I pick up. "I can't believe you fell for that!" I choke out between breaths as the onlookers look incredulous. When we finally calm down they speak up, "So you didn't really switch bodies and need us to go and find a mystery serum?" they ask and we laugh.
We shake our heads no and repeat our handshake, "Ah noice!" I say and he returns quickly, "Ah toit!"
They groan. "You had us convinced!" they exclaim and we shrug. "You can not deny the awesomness of the twosome." We shout.
We wait for the crowd to disperse. "Ayo, Candor or Dauntless at my house in an hour yeah?" Zeke asks the group and we head to our respective apartments. I follow Zeke though because my clothes are still there from this morning and I caught sight of Will leaving with Christina.
"Eziiii," I say in a singsong voice, ducking under his arm, "I'm staying at yours, the lovebirds refuse to leave the bed." I complain and he snorts.
"Yes kind lady! You may use the humble peasants shack to fulfil your resting needs!"
"Oh thank you humble sir! You are my saviour!" I return and he opens the door.
