After Four showed us our rooms, or should I say room, he left everyone to change out of our old faction clothes and into our black dauntless training gear. To my surprise, everyone begin stripping off their clothes straight away leaving me feeling as embarrassed as ever.

'Why aren't you changing?' Christina questions while pulling off her pants, I immediately look away.

'Why are you changing?' I challeng 'aren't you going to wait for everyone to leave first?'

'Aly, just hurry up and change. No one cares and we are going to be late for dinner.'

I scan around us, she is right. Everybody is too busy changing out of their own clothes to notice anyone else, with hesitation I begin to unbutton my pants. To my annoyance however, a dozen pairs of eyes suddenly flash to me, and quickly looks away once they see my awareness. Sneaky bastards. I button my pants again and is met with a pair of eyes that has been lingering for too long. It is the same guy that made the dirty comment about me back on the rooftop. Instead of looking away, he slowly meet my eyes and give me an a sly side smirk. Arrogant asshole! Before I can call him out, he decids to provoke me even more.

'The little Amity is feeling shy?' He singsonged. 'That's funny, I thought Amity is the most carefree faction, especially in the physical aspect of it.' He winked and a few others laughed with him, I want to fight back, punch him so hard to wipe that smirk right off his face, but before I can say anything, Christina came to my rescue.

'Shut up Peter, the last time someone got physical with you was to shove a cactus up your ass!'

Peter is not impressed with the remark, however he only narrow his eyes and stalks off. A few of his friends follow him but no one else make further comments. Instead of grateful, I became worried. For Christina and for myself. For Christina because Peter does not seem like the type to let issues drop easily, and him simply walking away from her makes me wonder if he's thinking of a revenge. For myself because in the mere 2 hours I've been here, I have already started drama.

'Hey, you ok?' Christina asks, her eyes full of concern.

'Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks' I whisper.

'Good, don't worry about Peter and them. You can change now, everyone's gone to dinner.'

'Okay' I reply while sorting out the dauntless clothing they give us. 'Don't wait for me, I don't want you to be late for dinner.'

'Are you sure? I don't mind being late, I'm not even hungry.' Ironically, her stomach growl.

'Not at all, go on!' I usher her away and eventually she gave in. I slowly unbutton my pants again and put on the black trousers provide for us. The length is alright but it is too loose, annoyed I put on the red belt I wore during the day to prevent it from falling off. I would like to say the top fits me perfectly but that would be a lie, similar to the pants, the top is too loose and reaches my mid-thighs, the one side of the sleeve falling off my shoulder. With a sigh I tuck the top in the trousers and made a mental note to get some new clothes the first chance I get.

The dining area in the dauntless headquarters is chaotic. The shouting can be heard all the way down the hallway, inside dauntless kids run around the tables while easily ducking the food people were throwing around. I stand by the door confused about where to go, I didn't want to draw attention to myself anymore than I have already, and being late for dinner didn't help with the plan. Scanning around the place, I notice how divided up everything is. Along the far corner is the leadership and high ranking members, Four is there whispering to his friends that nods in return and I recognize Eric there along with other leaders including Max which I have seen countless times at the school events. They probably don't want a initiate there. Christina sat on the table next to them along with some of the transfers I recognize, however there are no more empty seats at that table. With a sigh I begin making my way towards the almost empty table at the very back of the room when I felt something-some people-knocking me off balance. For the second time today.

I don't like being touched too much, but for them I would make an exception. Caro looks as stylish as ever, her layered strawberry blonde hair finishes just blow her waist and her deep blue eyes were enhanced with the blackest liner. She wore a pair of black combat boots with black shorts and a sleeveless black top with gold studs on them, as if mocking my horrendous outfit. Rose looks the most different though, her ash colored hair is now jet black and her ears are covered with a dozen piercings altogether. She wore a tight fitting shirt with a pair of black jeans, resembling nothing of the little abnegation girl Jac and I used to protect. All three of them hugged me so tight, and I swear I see Rose wipe a tear. We are definitely making a scene, from the corner of my eyes I see Christina staring at us along with a few other transfers. Even some of the members from the leaders' table points to us and I see Eric glancing up at us, but he looks away too quickly for me to be sure.

Pulling away from the hug, Caro scan my outfit and raise an eyebrow.

'Don't judge, the clothes they provide are too big so I have to make my own adjustments ok?' I defend myself, already feeling self-conscious of my outfit.

'Didn't think you wore it to make a fashion statement' Caro teases "Although I must admit, the 'I don't give a shit about life' look actually looks pretty cute".

'Caro, leave Alyssia alone!' Dear sweet Rose 'How are you feeling'

'It's just Aly now' I remind them. 'And thank you Rosiee, I just miss you guys, a lot.' I states while pulling them into another group hug.

'We miss you too Aly, but we knew you'll eventually end up here.' She winks.

'Come on, lets go sit down. I want to finish my dinner.' Jac complains and I follow them over to their table. To my dismay, it is opposite the leaders' tables, eyes follow me as I make my way towards the table but I simply ignore them, the joy of re-uniting with my best friends temporarily numb my self-consciousness. 'Aly this is Jonathan, Serena and Toby' Jac introduce the unfamiliar faces on the tables to me.

Toby gave me a small wave and Serena smiles at me, Jonathan however just stares.

'Nat, cat caught your tongue?' Caro elbow him.

'No, it's just the rumors are not exaggerated at all.' Jonathan reply while moving his glance down, fixing on a region that would have trigger a slap from me if he wasn't Jac, Rose and Caro's friend.

'Care to elaborate?'

'Well there's a rumor saying that instead of a initiate, an angel fell from the sky and land in the net and became the first jumper.' He grin at me 'And I think I just fell too...in love.'

Heat rush to my cheeks again and Jac and Rose giggle while Caro slap him on the back of his head.

'Sorry, lets start over. I'm Jonathan, your future husband.' He hold out his hand to me.

'Nat, leave the poor girl alone.' Serena slap Jonathan on the back of the head again.

It turns out Jonathan is not half as bad as I thought. Although he still attempts to flirt, his direction of eye sight has improved from my chest to my neck. Still not looking at me directly in the eye but hey, at least we were getting somewhere. I make some brief conversations with Toby and Serena before they had to leave to get back to the fence, Jonathan soon left as well to help out in the surveillance room.

'So what are you guys' jobs?' I ask

'Jac is one of the trainers for the dauntless born, Caro has her own club down in the Pit and i'm a nurse down at the infirmary.' Rose reply 'and I do not want to see you there.' She adds.

'No promises, if only you knew the training we have planned for the initiates this year.' Jac responds 'and no Aly, I am not sharing anything.'

'Stop scaring her, the skills she has is already enough to get her through initiation, and they are still going to teach her more. Next thing you know, she'll be sitting there' she points to the table opposite from us 'discussing leadership business with Max.' Caro teases. They knew how hard I have been training for the past few years, however half the people in my room is double the size of me, not to mention there are still the dauntless born who began training since they were born. I play around with the remaining food on my plate wondering about training tomorrow while giving out occasional peaks at the table across. Eric in engaged in a serious conversation with Max and a few of the other leaders and high rank members, one of them catches my eye and I quickly look away. To make me more uneasy, a few of them got up and begin making their way towards our table, Eric included.

'Hey Caro.' The one with the nose ring came and dangles his arm on Caro's shoulder.

'Hi Dan.' Caro purrs and Jac fakesd a vomit.

'Care to introduce me to your new friend?' He winked at me.

'This is Aly, she's one of the initiates, one of our closest friends, and completely off limits.' She smack his arm away.

'Ouch baby girl, and it's not up to you to decide who's off limits or not.' Dan mutters while slowly leaning in to me.

'Dan, we need to go and set up the meeting. Let's go.' Eric commands and Dan immediately drop the act and follow the group out the hall. I stare at Eric as he march away and wonder why-and more importantly-how did he manage to get almost everyone to fear him so much.

'-any of that?' Jac poke my arm.

'huh sorry?' I reply, feeling slightly guilty about drowning out of the conversation.

'I said are you not going to eat any of that?'

I look down at my plate, the sausages were left untouched along with half the hot dog bun. 'You know how picky I am with my meat, and since when have I finished a whole hot dog?'

'I just figured you might be hungry after such a long day' Jac shrug. 'Anyways what time are you guys coming over?' I raise my eyebrow wondering which other part of the conversation I missed.

'Let's just go after dinner.' Rose reply.

'What exactly are we doing?' I question

'To catch up on the past year that we haven't seen each other, and to get you more clothes.' Rose explains. I wanted to object because I didn't want to stay up late when I have training tomorrow, but the idea of actually having fitting clothes is too tempting.

'Can't wait.'

The hallway is much quieter as I make my way toward the bedroom. Everyone was probably asleep already. I didn't plan on getting back too late but here I am, sneaking around the compound in just a singlet and pair of shorts with soaking wet hair just moments before midnight trying to get back to the room. I have however successfully stolen some of Jac's clothes and lands myself have a few pairs of tight black leggings, jeans, a few t-shirt that actually fits me, one of Caro's black leather jacket and manages to take a shower in Jac's apartment. The dauntless compound without all the shouting is like another place, water dripping from the side echos as more water splashes on the rocks in the chasm. Suddenly Four's words come into my mind. 'Every year someone dies from falling into the chasm'. I stop walking, 'someone's life ended here, someone who probably had a family that loved them and a future in front of-' . The cough behind me make me jump and cause me to drop my new wardrobe. I bend down to pick them up but someone spoke out first.

'Shouldn't you be in bed?' I slowly turn around and is met with a pair of grey eyes without any emotions behind them.

'I'm going to bed right now.' I respond as confidently as I can not wanting to give this man the sanctification of hearing me stammer. He might have gotten everyone here in dauntless to fear him but I refuse to let anyone intimidate me ever again, especially not here in Dauntless where I know I belong.

'First day and you already not following orders?' He taunts.

'I don't recall being given a bed time ever since I got over the age of 6.' He narrows his eyes but to my surprise, didn't say anything. I take this as an opportunity and hurriedly gather my stuff and get ready to leave, however as I walk past him he suddenly grab my arm. His grip wasn't too hard but the strength behind them is enough to make me feel uncomfortable.

'Watch your back.' Was all he said before he stalk away.

Before I can stop it, another shiver run down my spine.
