Max was waiting for them at the bottom of the building. Two trainers stood beside him. Shauna and Zeke ran ahead to join Robert and Kylie.
"I see your hair is pink today Kylie!" said Shauna. Shauna was always fascinated with her hair. Kylie frequently dyed her hair some or the other odd color. Robert was completely different. He had kept his hair in the same style since they were five. Blond hair till his shoulder tied back. The twin only shared one similarity in looks, their green eyes. Robert was tanned as he often accompanied their father out to the fence. Their father was the head of the guards of the fence. Kylie was pale as she helped her mother in the Pit. Her mother was the head cook at the Dauntless kitchen. An injury early in her life had given her two choices- to choose a characteristically un Dauntless job or become a faction less. Since their father was well known with her leaders he managed to convince them not to convince to kick his wife out.
Kylie had sworn that she would never be considered weak. She promised herself that she would never have children. Birth made you weak for some time. She had a friend Ashley, whose mother had been kicked out and she did not heal fast enough after giving birth to Ashley. Ashley had transferred to Amity because of this incident.
"Okay all Dauntless born initiates and transfers will be trained separately and ranked separately. The final ranking will be done together however." announced Max.
Kylie saw that Eric and Tobias followed their trainer to their dorms. Eric and Tobias would be her and Robert's competition to the top ranks she decided.

Eric followed his trainer to their dorm. Eric was excited. This was the start of a new life for him. Away from those nerds at Erudite. His father, one of the best doctors at the Erudite hospital and his mother a popular scientist. Both had been pressuring their only son to join Erudite.
But the thing was he never really fit in at Erudite. He was smart but not in the Erudite way. He had always been interested in protecting something. He wanted to protect his home and not just sit in front of a computer all day long trying to make some code. He was going to use his intelligence on the battlefield and for that he would have to eliminate all possible competitions. He knew only the top ranked students were offered the job of leader. Dauntless was a young faction so a young leader was not uncommon. He wanted to lead Dauntless and make it a better faction.
He eyed Tobias. His only competition in the transfers he presumed. He had already began calculating everyone stamina and endurance. Tobias and he had the same stamina and Eric outweighed by a few kilos but that made Tobias more agile.
In his mind he began framing his plan to take down Tobias.

Robert was comparing knives with Zeke. Zeke was his closest friend out of the initiates and he had grown to respect him. Something had happened between him and Kylie in the past year and after that she had started hiding things from him.
It had happened a year ago.
Robert was returning from the fence with his father. It had been a long day and Robert was looking forward to a warm meal at the cafeteria.
Robert had decided to wash up before going to eat. As he entered the room he was sharing with Kylie he saw Kylie sitting near her bed. On her lap was propped a laptop and she was discussing something with someone. On further inspection he recognized Jeanine Mathews, head other Erudite. Robert ran out of the room. He was shocked. Why was Kylie talking to Jeanine?
Ever since then he had managed to keep a distance from Kylie. He could see that he visibly hurt Kylie but some decisions had to be made.
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((*)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
It was midnight in the Dauntless born initiates' dorm. Kylie slipped out of her bed and went towards her bag. She silently removed all the clothes from the bag and opened the zipper at the bottom of the bag. She removed her laptop. She quietly slipped into the bathroom and shut the door. She then dug through her pocket and removed a sheet with some code on it.
She clicked the application which allowed her to talk with Jeanine.
"Good evening Kylie. Now be fast. What have you got?" said Jeanine.
"I have got the codes to operate the Dauntless security system." Said Kylie.
"Great. Scan me a copy and send it to me. And do no forget to get rid of the original." Ordered Jeanine.
"Yes Jeanine." Said Kylie.
She them closed the conversation and opened the scanner application. She scanned the document and sent a copy to Jeanine's secretary. Now she had to get rid of the original. She closed the laptop and returned it to its original position.
She shred the document stuffed the paper into a can. She filled the can with water to make the ink bleed. She then dumped it into the toilet and flushed.
