After they showered and changed, everyone grouped into their normal tables for dinner. Will across from Rae, Sky next to Rae, Four a few seats down. The only difference was that Uriah joined them and had an arm slung over Sky's shoulders. Rae and Sky exchanged knowing looks, Uriah had a crush on Sky, which could be why he keeps unknowingly receiving glares from Al, Four, and Eric.
"So," announced Rae, "The bar tonight? Yeah?" Will started laughing, "Did you not have enough to drink last night?" Uriah butt in, "Do you even REMEMBER last night Rae?" Everyone was cracking up while Rae replied, "Oh I definitely got enough to drink last night….I just really want to dance tonight!" This caused everyone to laugh harder. Uriah poked Sky in the side, "You gonna save me a dance tonight Babydoll?" She rolled her eyes at the nickname the initiates decided to give her, "Maybe, I can't make any promises though!" Four finished his food, slammed his cup down, and stormed off. Rae leaned over and whispered, "You know, for someone who just had his life saved he seems a little annoyed." Sky just shrugged, "Ugh, He's just being Four." The way he is reacting around her was really beginning to piss her off, I saved his damn life. He should be grateful. Hell maybe even proud of me? She shook the thought out of her head and stood up, "Well kids, Rae and I are going to go find something to wear tonight! Meet you guys at the bar!"
About an hour later Rae and Sky were turning everyone's heads as they sauntered into the underground bar. Rae was in a black strapless dress that hugged her curves perfectly with dark red heels that elongated her legs. Sky was in tight black jeans that laced up the sides with boots and a dark red halter top that ended at her bellybutton with a plunging neckline and red lipstick. Rae and Sky looked at each other and started laughing as they headed over to the group of initiates they were planning to meet with. Uriah's jaw dropped when he saw Sky, dragging her to the dance floor. He had on hand on her side while the other lingered dangerously close to her butt as they swayed on the dance floor. As new songs came on they kept dancing, Uriah holding her closer and tighter. Soon Will and Rae joined them and they all danced together. Sky didn't realize when Four and his friends walked in, or when they sat on the other side of the bar. She also didn't notice Four's jealous glare as she danced with Uriah or that he glared daggers at her and Uriah all night. She did however notice how handsy Uriah was getting and how he's tried to kiss her twice already. She also noticed how late it was, "Hey guys I'm really tired," she yawned. "I think I'm going to head back, we do have to get up early for our run before we do the whole fear landscape thing remember?" Everyone groaned in agreement and they trudged back to their dormitories. Uriah hesitated before leaving, "Hey Sky," he pulled her towards a bench, the same on Al pulled her towards. Shit, she thought. First Eric, then Al, now Uriah. Yayyyy….
"So I've been thinking," he started. "About you and me." She interrupted, "Yeah! Me too! I'm really happy we've become pretty good friends!" His face dropped a little at the word friends, but he was determined. "Yeah! It's been great, you are awesome. But I was kind of just wondering.." He paused and looked at her, she was hoping she looked clueless. "I like you a lot Sky. Like more than a friend." She took a deep breath before replying, "I like you too Uriah! Just…not in that way. You are a really great friend and awesome to hang out with!" He laughed awkwardly and nodded, "Then friends we shall be! And as my friend, can you pretend this conversation never happened?" She deadpanned, "What conversation?" He pulled her into a hug before heading to the dauntless born rooms. She headed into her own dormitory and passed out within minutes.
The next day they all sat in the waiting room, waiting to be called in to experience Lauren's fear landscape so they know what to expect with their own. They were going in from lowest ranking to highest, so Sky was last. This part made her nervous, the fear part. Sky was pretty sure she knew at least a few of the things that would show up in her landscape. She was not ready to face some of those, or to have anyone else see them.
"Sky," Four came out with Lauren, "Your turn." He lead her into a chair next to Lauren and injected her with the serum, not once looking her in the eyes. I hate being like this with him, she scrunched her eyes shut. This sucks! She didn't have much time to think about it because when she opened her eyes, she was trapped in a tank of water with Lauren who was panicking.
"What you have to do in these simulations, is calm yourself. Once you calm yourself, it will move on to the next fear until you're done, get it?" Asked Lauren. Sky nodded as Lauren continued, "The hard part is actually calming yourself when the water is filling up so fast! Right?" Sky looked at the pipe where the water was entering and grabbed Lauren's jacket, stuffing it in to stop the water. She smiled at Lauren, "Now just breath until you are calm."
A few seconds later, they were back in the testing room with Four. Lauren smiled at Sky, "You are a natural! I think you're going to be fine on yours!" Four typed some things into his computer before replying, "Well, it's easy to get through it if it's not one of your own fears. We'll see how she does when it's her own biggest fears hmm?" Sky rolled her eyes, "Thanks for the vote of confidence Four." She stood up, "Am I done here?"
Four looked at her, "No. I need to talk to you, Lauren you're good to go. Thanks for helping out today!" Sky sat back into her chair and crossed her arms, glaring at Four until the door shut behind Lauren. They sat there glaring at each other for about two minutes before Four slammed the computer shut and kicked his stool away. "God dammit Sky!" She just stared at him blankly. "Why are you so damn infuriating?!" She shook her head, "I don't know what you're talking about FOUR. I'm not the one who's been storming away from the table and slamming things and being a colossal jerk to the person who just saved my life." He glared at her, "No you're just the one who's been ignoring me. The one who lets Uriah have his arms all over you, spending the entire day with you, dancing with you at the bar, almost letting him kiss you. What's that all about Sky? What kind of games are you playing now?" She barked out a laugh, "Are you seriously pissed about that? We were all hanging out and relaxing Four! We were just dancing, Having a good time! Remember what that's like? Obviously not! But don't you go changing the subject. I want to know why you are so angry about the other night? I SAVED YOUR LIFE FOUR! What are you upset because a little girl like me saved you? If that's the case, I really don't know who you are anymore." He paced back and forth a few times clenching his jaw, "You don't get it Sky. You just do not get it one bit." She was getting irritated, "Then why don't you try to explain it to me instead of yelling at me, hmm?" He stopped in front of the computer, typed a few things in and picked up the needle turning towards her. "Umm…what are you doing?" asked Sky. He looked at her warily, "This is the only way I can explain, you're going to go through my fear landscape. Maybe that will show you why I'm so upset." With that he leaned her back and injected her with the serum before injecting himself.
