I wake up still in my clothes from last night, sprawled across the bed, arms and legs outstretched. I don't want to get up, so I just bring my knees to my chest, and cocoon myself in blankets.
Just as I am on the verge of sleep I hear a knock at my door. At first I ignore it. The person outside my apartment keeps knocking, and I keep ignoring it, in the hopes that he/she will go away. But soon I can't ignore it anymore, so I throw my covers off, and walk to the door, rubbing sleep from my eyes. I throw the door open and Four is standing there with a muffin for me.
I take it and nod to show my appreciation. He smiles, and I take a large chunk out of my muffin. We walk to the dining hall, hand in hand.
Soon after I finished inhaling my muffin Eric comes over to me and says, "Meeting in five, Max's office."
I enter Max's office and sit down on the black leather couch. It's not as soft as it looks, so I stand and soon enough Max comes.
"Ah, Tris, welcome. Please, take a seat." he gestures to the not-as-soft-as-it-looks couch. I sit again.
"Hello Max. May I ask why I'm here?" I ask.
"Right. You are a Dauntless leader, so we need to teach you about your duties as a leader, and how to preform them, etc." Max explains. " Then, we will teach you how to train initiates, but you won't need to do that for... what? Eleven more months? You'll train for that later with Christina. For now, Eric and I will train you to become leader.
"Okay... when do we start?"
"Tomorrow." he says. "See you here at 8 am tomorrow morning. "
I nod, and leave. As I walk down the hallway, I see Four and he grabs my hand, dragging me down an alley.
"Four what are you...?"
"Tris, I need to warn you- Max is not who he says he is. Eric isn't either. They'll try to hurt you- break you. You can't let them. You have to prove your strength to them. I know you can, Tris." Four says, still holding my arm.
"But why?" I ask, aware that there are only inches between us.
"I think that they know, or at least guess, that you are Divergent. They think that if they push you hard enough, they can prove that you are. And you can't let them." He leans his forehead on mine.
"Tobias..." I whisper, leaning closer, brushing my lips onto his. "I'll try, but I don't know if I'm strong enough."
"Yes you are. I know you are." His hands reach for my hips, and pull me closer, his lips dancing on mine. He pulls back, and looks me in the eye, smiling. "See you at lunch."
"Well hello, Ms. Dauntless leader." Christina laughs, and beacons for me to come into her apartment. I sit down on her bed and she asks, "So, how is it, being a leader?"
"Well I'm not a leader yet, I need to train for the position first. How is your training for being a tattoo artist?" I ask.
"Oh, it's so fun! Tori actually let me do a tattoo today! Only a simple one, but it was still fun!" I could tell by the way Chris's voice rose she really loved it.
"That's so great!" I responded, smiling. "Do you want to get lunch?"
"Sure!" she responds, and we walk down to the hall. We wait in line, and Christina picks up a piece of cake, and a hamburger and a soda. I grab some pasta and a small piece of cake.
I see Four, Will, Marlene and Lynn all sitting at a table and I pull Chris over to them. Chris sits on the end of the bench next to will, and kisses him on the cheek. I sit in an empty seat between Marlene and Lynn.
"Ahem." Uriah taps my shoulder.
"Oh, sorry were you sitting here? I ask, turning around to look at him.
"Yeah."
"Well too bad"
"What? You're not gonna give it back?"
"Nope!"
"Hmph." Uriah pouts, and then walks around to the other side of Lynn, and sits. I smile, and he huffs again.
Once I finish my lunch, I walk over to Four, and he turns his neck to look up at me and smiles. "See you around." He says.
I nod, and walk towards my apartment when Christina grabs my hand, and pulls me to face her.
"Do you want to go shopping with me for tomorrow when you start training?" she asks, eyes hopeful.
"Ummmm... no." I say.
"Pleeease?" she asks.
"No"
"Pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease?"
"No way."
"Come on."
"I went with you yesterday."
"But... But... Pleeeease?"
"...Alright fine. But you owe me. Big time." I instantly regret my decision to give in.
"Yesyesyes thank you Tris!"
"Don't mention it."
She pulls me by the arm and we run into the nearest clothing store. We shop for a little, and I pick out some black jeans and Chris picks a red shirt with the dauntless symbol in black on the front. We pay, and I go back to my room.
Hope you liked!
As always, really like feedback!
