I went home for winter break.
We all had homework. Jeanine continued to interview me about life in Dauntless. Caleb was trying something called serums on Hazel and I. There were crazy ones.
"Try this." Caleb told me, striding in the bedroom Hazel and I shared, holding a bubbling blue serum. I looked at him curiously before downing the blue liquid. It tasted off.
"George Washington was the first President." I suddenly rattled off. "He was born on February 22nd in Virginia and became the General of the Continental army. He married..." as I continued to rant on about the Presidents and random facts about space, Caleb took the empty bottle and went back to his own room, taking notes in his book.
The serum took two hours to wear off.
Then there was a green serum, one that he had Hazel drink. It made her bubbly and happy and VERY talkative. It took a while to wear off. By that time, I had almost gone insane.
Meanwhile, Hazel had changed a lot. She wouldn't help me with stuff anymore and only told complete truths. All in all, I was almost glad to go back to school.
Almost.
"Who have you gotten so far?" I asked Tobias at the computer station. He went through a few names. "Molly Kapper, Nick and Saige Murphy, and Amanda Cockner. You?"
"Nobody important." I sighed.
"Well, you might. Here comes Peter and his gang." Tobias pointed. Bianca and Chris readied their computers.
"Peter!" I waved. "Come right on over here."
He came and looked at me harshly. "Peter S - Peter S."
"I'm sorry, I need a full name." I said apologetically.
"Peter Johnson." he said quickly.
'That doesn't fit with Peter S...!" I called after him. But he had already left.
I put him down as Peter S.
Later that night, I put on Peter's gloves and went back to the computer room. Tobias stood watch at the door as I found Peter's name in the list and searched for him deeper in the computer, following Tobias's instructions.
I found Peter, all right - same picture, but different last names. He had gone as Peter Johnson, Peter Schravitz (last year), Peter Jones, Peter Candez... it was so very sneaky.
Wait. Peter Scravitz. I tried to remember where I had seen - or heard - that last name. Then it clicked. I x'd out of everything and ran over to Bianca's computer. And sure enough, the first name on the list. Bianca Schravitz.
Peter was up to something, and Bianca was involved.
