I wake up the next morning at 6:00 to the ruffling of feet in the living quarters. Apparently we are supposed to be at breakfast at 6:30. I must have missed that in the bus. I jump into my new blue leggings and white t-shirt with a blur sweater, and rush to the dining hall wi the rest of the initiates.
Jeanine was already waiting for us in the dining hall. Mi nervously walk over to the table she is waiting at, and sit next to Mia and Caleb. When all the initiates are sitting obediently at the table, Jeanine speaks.
"Fresh morning Erudite initiates! Here at the Erudite compound we say fresh morning, rather than good morning for the following reason: the term "good morning" implies that the sun is out and there are comfortable temperatures. Since, I assume, none of you have gone outside this morning, being as you were not instructed to leave the compound, and , and there are few windows in the living quarters, none of you should know exactly how "good" the morning is. This is why we prefer the term "fresh morning" implying that you all are fresh out of bed and ready to start you day in Erudite initiation." Jeanine explains. All but a few are tired and hardly followed the rant about how to greet someone in the morning.
"Now, I expect all of you to ear your breakfasts within thirty minutes so we can begin our day. I will be placing your schedules in your seats while you retrieve your food from the buffet. A recommended Erudite breakfast menu is posted at the beginning of the tray line next to the eggs. You may now get your food."
Mia and Caleb get the recommended Erudite breakfast, but it seems boring to me so I get my own breakfast: two pieces of this long red meat stick type thing called bacon, I think, a few eggs, one piece of bread that is twisted in a fancy way with some kind of spice on it called cinnamon toast, and a glass if hot chocolate.
As I return to the table, I get a few strange glances because I am the only person who did not follow the Erudite breakfast recommendation. Embarrassed, I sit down with Mia and Caleb. I look at my schedule and am overjoyed when I see that I have Max for first and second periods. I then moan when I see that I have Jeanine for fifth period. For third, fourth, sixth, and study hall, I have some names I have never heard of before. I exchange schedules with Caleb and Mia. I am happy to see that we all have Jeanine fifth period. I won't suffer alone. I notice also that I have first and second periods with Mia, and study hall with Caleb.
"We have first, second, and fifth periods together Tris!" Mia almost yells. I nod at her, then realize what she said.
"Tris?" I ask.
"Oh sorry, Beatrice. Mind fart!" She laughs, hitting herself on the forehead. I still think about the name. "Tris". I like that! We finish breakfast, and Jeanine yells at us to get to classes.
Was it really a mind fart Mia? Reviews are awesome and so are you, therefore you should review! Makes perfect sense right?
