CHAPTER SIX:

CHRISTINA'S POV:

I was drinking my bowl of pumpkin soup with brown bread and talking to Tris about getting together for a shopping day, when a voice cut me off. She was talking to Four about whether she and her friend could sit down. I remember her! She was the first jumper that Tris and Four had told me about.

"Hey, Mouse! Hi umm… Hannah! It's Hannah isn't it?"

"Yes, nice to meet you, we were just wondering if it was okay for us to sit here to eat."

"Sure thing. My name is Christina and this is Four. I believe you guys already met him, right? And next to him is my dear friend, Tr-"

"Chris, let the initiates rest and eat will ya? You're spitting half you food on them and half on the table." Tris said, looking up from her hamburger.

I still didn't believe that till this day Tris' favourite foos was still a hamburger with tomato sauce.

I went back to my soup which by now was cold. I sighed, and decided to ask Mouse some questions.

"So was it true that you stood up to Eric on you first day?"

Mouse looked up from her spaghetti, clearly confused.

"Why? Is Eric really mean or something?"

"OMG! You don't know?" I said to which Mouse replied by shaking her head. "He's like evil." I had dropped my voice down really low and even Four and Tris were listening now. "When I was an initiate he made me hang off of the Chasm with my bare hands. He finds pleasure in things that are cruel and violent. Watch out for him."

Then the cups started banging and automatically I started banging my own cup, which was still half full. After making my clothes and most of the table wet, everyone stopped. Then like always, Max spoke about our beliefs and to make Dauntless proud.

I yawned. It wasn't very late but after working at the shopping centre, selling and making clothes, I was very tired. I yawned again and bid everyone goodbye and told Tris that I was going to find Will. As I was heading out, I grabbed 2 slices of Dauntless cake and wrapped them in serviettes.

Will was working late today in the technology room. Being a transfer from Erudite, he knew a lot of things about computers. Plus he enjoyed working there, because he can be Dauntless and smart at the same time.

I turned the corner and crashed straight into someone. Will!

"Oooof. Oh dear, I am so sorry. I was looking for Chris-" Will was too busy picking up the cakes and apologizing that he didn't realise it was me. I was very happy, so I leaned in a gently kissed his cheek. He looked up and finally realized it was me. He attacked my mouth, pulling me closer and we stayed like that for around 3 minutes before I pulled back.

"Did you have soup for dinner?" Will asked

"Oh sorry I forgot to take a breath mint. I was busy looking for you." I said scrambling in my jeans' pockets for mints.

"No it's fine. It's just that when I tasted soup I got a bit hungry."

"Oh Will! I forgot that you didn't have dinner yet. Come on let's go back to our apartment to get something to eat. I also brought Dauntless cake." I said smiling.

Together we walked down the corridor, heading towards our apartment.
