I am having so much fun writing this story! I hope to update more often. Comment and review to let me know if you like what I'm doing or want to suggest any ideas, such as whose POV I should use.

Disclaimer: I don't own Divergent or any of the characters in the Divergent Trilogy. Veronica Roth does.

Tris's POV

It's like the whole world has slowed and everything is in slow motion. I hear screams from the initiates and the families all around, people looking the other way and shielding their children's eyes. All I can think about is I can't let this be another Al. I will save him.

I scream "Stop!" but he just keeps running. I break into a full sprint and it seems the whole world speeds up with me. I don't even have time to think, I dive, in the hope of tackling him. I miss. I'm up again in mere milliseconds. I start to slow when I hear someone yelling:

"Wynne stop!"

As I try to decipher what's going on, I hear a little girl scream and see Jayshon dive over the edge. I run and get to the railing the same time Zeke and Uriah's mom does. Ok, now I'm really confused. I look down expecting to see the worst, but am surprised to see Jayshon holding onto a little girl with one hand and the railing with the other. That's when I make all of the connections. Jayshon wasn't trying to kill himself; he was trying to save Wynne, Zeke and Uriah's little sister. Although he didn't know who it was he was trying to save, he just saw a little girl in danger and knew he had to save her. I help Jayshon and Wynne up and Hana removes Wynne out of Jayshon's hands.

"That was really brave, you know. I'm really glad you chose Dauntless, you really do belong here. Come on, we need to get back to the group they are waiting for us." I say to Jayshon. We run back after Hana thanks Jayshon for his act of bravery. When we get back, everybody bombards Jayshon with questions.

"Look, he just saved a one-year-old from falling to her death all you should be saying to him, if anything, is 'you are so brave for risking your life for someone else,'" I step in. "He was dangling 50 feet above the chasm with only one hand holding onto a railing and the other hand holding onto a life he just committed himself to saving. Christina, would you like to continue the tour now?" I finish my lecture.

"Thank you, Six. Yes, I would. We should get back to the tour now. On the right is the infirmary. You need to know all routes to here like the back of your hand. Those doors up ahead lead to the training room," Christina says while pointing to the large glass doors. "You will be spending most of your day there for the next 10 days. Six would you like to explain how the phases work?"

"Thank you, yes I would. You will go through three phases, the first two will last about 10 days each. The first phase is physical, you will mostly learn how to fight, throw knives, and shoot guns we may also include other minor skills that will help you in combat. The second phase…" I stop and stare at Juan Pablo who is flirting with Oliveen. "Juan Pablo, would you like to explain to us what you and Oliveen were talking about? Because it must have been really important for you guys to miss what you will be doing for the next month of your life."

"Juan Pablo was just telling me how pretty I looked and how the black clothes accentuate my gorgeous blue eyes," Oliveen says and Juan turns bright red.

"Thank you Oliveen, but I would've really liked it if Juan Pablo told us that since those words came from him. Now can I continue, or is your flirting session still going?" I get a couple of "ooo's" and "burns" that make his face a deeper shade of red and Oliveen blush. Christina bursts out laughing and I try to keep a smirk from creeping on my face.

"As I was saying, the second phase works you mentally. Nothing can prepare you for this phase, not even growing up in Dauntless. And the last phase, phase three takes phase two and amplifies it five times, except it only lasts one day. We will not be overseeing that phase the Dauntless leaders will."

"You and the Dauntless born will be trained separately but ranked all together. After the first phase the lowest two people in the ranking will become factionless," says Christina. A few people gasp but she just plows through and keeps going. "The next cut will be after phase three and four people will be leaving us only ten people become Dauntless members each year," she finishes.

"So if my calculations are correct, there are only 16 initiates all together this year," Melissa says.

"Thank you Melissa for your calculations, which I hope would be correct because all you had to do was add three numbers," Christina says, and Melissa just blows her off.

"Believe it or not," I say, interrupting Christina and Melissa's staring contest, "between 10-15 kids transfer to Dauntless each year and between seven and eight kids stay at Dauntless. We usually only have eight to ten Dauntless born kids at every choosing ceremony, so our staying rate is one of the highest out of all the factions."

Whoa, my Erudite just came out big time. We were explaining all of this on our way to the dorm where the initiates stay. I did a little renovation on the place, cleaned the bathrooms put up stalls around the toilets, curtains around the showers instead of the old raggedy towels, Tobias helped me put a wall in between the girls and boys bathroom, and I also added five changing room in the main area. The bunks are still the same and every one still sleeps in the same room, but I thought that it would be nice to put a couple things in the bathrooms for privacy. Christina was mad when she found out because she thinks they should have to deal with all the things we had to deal with, but I disagreed, letting my Abnegation come out. I finally got her to help me by telling her I needed help with picking out new shower curtains, new tiles for the floor, and paint for the walls. (This is all for the bathroom she did nothing to where they sleep except for put five changing rooms in one corner.)

We walk into the dorm and I hear Carmen whisper to Karen,

"I hope this is the boy's dorm."

"I know right, it's really dreary in here."

"It would be unfair if we girls had to stay here."

"Ya, it would be even worse if both boys and girls had to stay here together," Karen finishes.

"Well guess what, Carmen? If you were listening to me instead of having your own side conversation you would have heard that I said everybody is sleeping in here. Christina and I had to sleep in here with all of our fellow initiates, so it would only be fair you had to do the same. You can thank Christina, T … Four, and I because we put those changing rooms up and also did some renovations to the bathroom."

"If it was up to me you would have to deal with everything Six and I had to which was had no privacy when changing or going the bathroom and the boys and girls had to share the same bathroom. So you should be thanking us big time because we put up a wall between the girls and boy's bathroom, got new shower curtains, put up stalls around the bathrooms, and redid the floors. Oh, and as Six said, put up those changing rooms."

Everyone mumbles thanks. Then we tell them there is a bin of clothes in the corner and once they are done changing they need to put their old clothes in the bonfire to signal they understand their old faction should not and will not influence their life, only Dauntlessness should and will.

"Christina and I will leave now the bonfire is in the middle of the cafeteria so we will see you there for dinner." With all that said, Christina and I walk to dinner.

Oliveen's POV

I'm very happy they put up changing rooms so I don't have to change out in the open. Carmen and Karen already have grabbed clothes and went into the same dressing room to leave more open for other people and Melissa and Cara did the same thing they were talking on the train and during the tour, so they are probably friends now. There are only three dressing rooms open for six people. Jeremy and Ben grab one each, so I run over to the clothes bin and grab a pair of black jeans my size but they look pretty small and a sleeve less shirt, I also grab a pair of combat boots. I get to the last changing room the same time as Juan, but being the gentleman he is, he let me have it. The jeans are really tight, I think, but then I remind myself I chose Dauntless and people wear form-fitting stuff. I take my hair out of the bun before I come out. I like it better down, I think it shapes my face better. I step out of the changing room the same time Cara and Melissa do.

"Hey, Oliveen, right?"

I nod my head.

"I'm Cara and this is Melissa."

"Would you guys mind if I hung out with you? I don't really know anyone else."

"No, not at all. You seem pretty cool - for being a stiff - and all especially since you jumped second."

"Thanks but could you not call me stiff?"

"Ya. Sorry, I didn't really think about."

"I really like your outfit." Melissa adds.

"Thanks, yours is really pretty, too."

She smiles back and says, "You know that kid Juan Pablo, the one who was flirting with you?" I nod my head, I didn't really realize he was flirting with me. People didn't do that back in abnegation, any kind of PDA was frowned upon, even little things like a hug to greet someone.

"Well I grew up with him and I can totally tell he is into you. He doesn't just flirt with any girl. He's only had one girlfriend his whole life and, I mean, look at him! Any girl would want to date him." Melissa says.

"Do you like him?" I ask.

"Nah we have more of a brotherly-sisterly relationship."

"Oh."

"Do you like him?" Cara asks me.

"Kind of. I mean, he is cute and seems really nice and he's from Erudite so he must be very smart but transferred to dauntless so he has to be brave…".

"Let me stop you there" Melissa says "You so like him."

"Wha- no, I mean yes, but no, I can't, I barely know him."

"Ok whatever you say. Now let's go, I'm really hungry."

"Let's race. I mean unless you're both too scared you'll lose." Cara challenges us.

"Me be scared of losing, ha, on the count of three," Melissa responds.

"Mind if I join in?" Juan Pablo asks taking a running position.

"Sure why not it you'll just be another person I leave in the dust." I say with a smirk.

"Oooo," jokes Cara.

"You sure are confident for a Stiff you know."

"And you sure are dumb for an Erudite."

"How do you figure that?"

"I'll answer all of your questions if you can beat me."

"Fair enough. Now let's race."

"One, Two, Three… Go!" Melissa says and we all take off. I ran every day home from school and that is almost three miles and last year I could run my top speed all of the way so of course I'm going to beat them. And I do, not out of breath at all. I had already burned my clothes and got my food and as I go to sit down Juan Pablo finally comes barging into the cafeteria.

"Where"…."Did you"….."Learn to"…."Run like that?" he says, in between breaths.

"I've ran three mile home from school every day for the past ten years," I say smirking. "I'll go save us some seats while you grab food and burn your clothes."

"Ok," he says, still panting.

I go sit at a half empty table the other half is filled with Tris and her friends. As I'm about to scooch closer to them Juan Pablo comes and sits next to me.

"So why am I dumb for an Erudite?"

"I told you I would tell you if you won, and you didn't. But since I'm nice I'll tell you anyways. You called me a "stiff" and if you knew anything about me I hate being called that. So you are dumb because you just made the girl you like very, very mad."

"What! Who told you I liked you?" Whoops I probably wasn't supposed to say that, but I better make the most of this.

"They said I wasn't allowed to tell who told me," I'm trying to use some reverse psychology to get him to admit he likes me so I can find out for sure or not.

"Well I only told one person I liked you so I know exactly who told you."

"Actually no one told, Cara and Melissa suspected it though and you admitted it, so it must be true."

"What must be true?" Cara says as she and Melissa sits down.

"That Jua…" I try to say but Juan covers my mouth before I can say the truth.

"That I, umm, was the kid who barely made it on the train," Juan says.

"Oh."

The rest of dinner is mostly in silence, but some small talk starts here and there. Just as we all finish our food, Tris comes over and invites us to play Candor or Dauntless with her and friends. We all agree. Even though I have no idea how to play I just go along.

As we are following Tris, I ask this girl who looks about Tris's age how to play, and by the time she's done I must have a very worried look in my eye because she reassures: "Don't worry we never tell anyone. What's said and done in the game stays in the game." Once we arrive at one of their apartments, everyone takes a seat on the floor in the shape of a circle. One of the boys yells, "I'll get the hot sauce." He is cute! My eyes follow him all the way to the kitchen and back. Tris introduces everyone and I finally get to know the mystery guy's name.

Please comment and review. Bye 'til next chapter.
