Chapter 4: Shopping With Cara

A/N: Thanks for all the sweet reviews you guys! It means a lot! After reviewing your reviews, you guys seem to think I should just skip initiation and jump up to the day they would be getting assigned jobs. So I will do that! Thanks for all your feedback on the three questions I had asked on the last A/N from the last chapter.

SelfishBraveDivergent: Thanks for your long review! Don't worry about it being too long, I like it when you guys leave me long reviews, it makes me want to write more! I want to thank you for responding to all three questions I had on the last chapter. I will include some of Tobias' POV. I'm not that cruel that I would include anyone other than Fourtris. Yes, there will be a war but I'm going to take a different spin on it and make the war more my own with my original ideas while incorporating some of the war from the Divergent Trilogy. Also, I will include Sam/Caleb. I really liked that idea and I'm glad you liked it too! I was actually going to put in Fernando, which you will find out how I do put him in below! Thanks again for the extra long review!

Disclaimer: I don't own Divergent, just my ideas!

Tris' POV

I wake up to a pounding on my door. I groan and sit up out of my comfortable bed. I trudge to my front door and open it to see a smiling Cara.

"Good morning, Tris! I hope I didn't wake you!" She says with a huge smile on her face it almost seems painful.

"No, not at all," I mumble.

She smiles even wider, which you would think is impossible but apparently for her but apparently it isn't, "Great! Can I come in?" She questions while walking in.

"Yeah sure, why don't you come in," I mumble to myself while closing the door.

"So I'm sure you are wondering 'Cara, why in the world are you here at 7am,'" I nod, "Well, I am here to let you know about us going shopping later. Aren't you excited?!" She looks ready to bounce on the walls, which I cannot understand considering it is 7am.

I nod with a smile on my face.

"Ok, once your done with today's testing, I was wondering if you could meet me at the coffee shop/cafe around the corner? If that works, I mean,"

"Yeah of course! I should be there around 1ish."

"Ok great see you then!" I smile and she walks out the door.

I sigh and walk into my kitchen. Ugghhh! I didn't have to be up for another hour! I might as well start getting ready now, there is no use in going to sleep now.

I walk into my bedroom and pick out a blue pair of jeans, blue scoop neck shirt, blue leather jacket and the same blue flats I wore yesterday. I look at my reflection in my mirror. I guess I look presentable.

I grab an apple from the fruit bowl in my kitchen, thankful I went shopping last night, and head to Caleb's apartment. I knock on the door and hear a few muffled replies. I brush it off and push the door open.

Caleb is standing in the kitchen making a delicious breakfast of what looks like scrambled eggs, bacon, and sausage. Yum! I run into the kitchen and take the plate he had in his hands and shovel the whole plate in two minutes. Guess I never noticed how hungry I was. Caleb is standing in the same position he was in when I took the plate from him before, just without the plate.

"Ready to go, Caleb?" He glares at me and takes my apple I brought in and starts eating as we leave his apartment and head to the initiation room.

I walk in and sit down at my desk and log into my computer and email. Just as I finish, the initiates and instructors come in.

"Welcome back initiates to day two of testing! I would like to congratulate our one and only initiate who aced the math portion of the test, Beatrice Prior!" My face must show utter shock because that is exactly how I feel on the inside.

I look up from my hands and see Caleb smiling at me. I give him a weak smile back and turn back to Sam and Charles.

"Today's tests are Faction History and Faction Rules. Good luck,"

I open up the email that contains the test and begin.

I completed both tests first again, checked them over twice, and was still the first done. I stand up from my desk and hand both my tests into Charles before walking out. Those tests were surprisingly easy, we learned everything in Faction History class.

I look down at my watch and noticed its 12:45. I head in the direction of the apartments. When I get there, I pick up my credit card and hightail it to the cafe around the corner.

Just as I get to the front doors to the cafe, it s like 12:58. I sigh in relief that I'm not late and walk in. I search the cafe for Cara. When I see her, I begin to head over in the direction of her when I notice a guy sitting with her.

When I get there, Cara looks up and smiles even bigger, "Tris! I'm so glad you could make it! Please, have a seat," she says gesturing to the seat next to the mystery boy across the table from her.

"So, I'm sure you're wondering who this guy is across from me, right?" She says gesturing to mystery boy. I look back towards her and nod, urging her to continue.

"Well, this is my boyfriend, Fernando. Fernando, this is Tris." He finally looks towards me and sticks his hand out towards me. I take his hand in a firm handshake.

"Pleasure to meet you, Tris" I nod in reply and Cara stands up.

"Well, Tris and I better be going. We're going shopping! See you later," She pecks his cheek and he returns the gesture. He nods in my direction and I smile and wave back. Cara takes my arm in her hand and pulls me out of the cafe. (Hey guys, I'm not sure which faction Fernando is from. I mean I knew but I kinda forgot and I'm too lazy to get up and walk the two steps from my bed to my bookshelf and search through my Insurgent book to find it. If he isn't in this faction in the book then... Oh well! It's fanfiction!)

"What do you think of Fernando? Isn't he great? He is the best, don't yo-" I stop her before she can go on any further.

"Fernando is great. He's definitely a keeper. Where are we headed to first?" She smiles and points to a HUGE store two stories tall that has an escalator going up and down to the first and second floors. My jaw drops and she laughs.

"Come on silly, let's go! I can't wait to get my shop on!" She yells as she pulls me in the direction of the huge store that will most likely become one of the most hated things in this faction.

Three hours later, I have spent at least $500. This may seem like quite a bit but this is nothing compared to Cara, who has spent close to $1,000. She pulls me out of yet another store and we head to a local coffee shop. I order a Salted Carmel Mocha Frappuccino. (Lol, shout out to 46, Booklover360, and eatonthatcake...)

It actually is now my favorite drink! We are now heading back to the apartment building.

Once we get there, Cara has to come into my apartment and help me set down all these bags, there were too many to carry.

"Thanks for coming with me to go shopping! We should do this again! It's fun having someone to come with me for once, what do you say?"

"Alright, I'll come with you, just not until the end of initiation. Deal?"

She thinks about it for a moment before replying back, "Deal," I smile and shake her outstretched hand.

"Well, lets start putting these clothes shall we?" I say gesturing to a huge pile of bags in the bedroom doorway. She laughs and we head into the bedroom to begin putting away the clothes! Fun! Note the sarcasm...

A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter! I personally thought this was the worst chapter yet, but thats just my opinion. Next chapter will be the end of initiation! Yay! For any of you who read my other story "Living Dauntless" I will not be uploading tonight or probably tomorrow. I'm going horseback riding with my best friend Emily, aka 46. I'm leaving at 9 am and I'm not sure when I am getting back but I'm probably going to be exhausted. I may be able to type up some sort of chapter tomorrow night but no promises. So sorry to my Living Dauntless fans, but there may be no update this weekend. Sorry! Also, to those of you who don't read it, you should! It's almost up to 30 chapters and still had quite a bit to go, so please read that!

My friend Emily, the one I mentioned up there ^_^ just recently posted a story called "Your's Truly" It's amazing and I have a character she based off of me in there! Review and tell me which one you think is me! This is the summary: Fifteen year old Callie has 4 great best friends, a great family, a great soon-to-be boyfriend. But what happens when Callie goes missing. Her friends find various letters signed , "Yours Truly, Callie" Is Callie dead or alive?

It's amazing and you all should read it! She works like 24/7 on this story so read it!

Thanks for reading!

Goal: 30 reviews, only ten!

Until next time!
