Let me know if you like the shopping part where I give you links so you can look at the items. If you do, I will continue to do this when they shop.
After brunch Four convinces me to go shopping. He says he needs some help redecorating his apartment, and since I'll be an Interior Designer it'll give me good practice. He points out some of the best furniture, clothing, and food shops in the Pit to me. I don't know many Dauntless shops considering that during initiation I barely had any time for recreational activities, let alone shopping.
The first shop we go to is called Dauntless Furniture. It's a very generic shop, with regular sofas and TVs. After a little looking around we decide on a white modular sofa. (Picture: us/en/catalog/products/S79840650/) It costs a lot of money, but Four assures me it doesn't matter how much it costs. (I know in Divergent they use the credit-thingys but in my story they use money). We also decide to buy a table to hold a TV ( us/en/catalog/products/40213311/) and a TV ( site/40-class-40-diag-led-1080p-60hz-smart-hdtv/5578649.p?id=1218666525649&skuId=5578649&st=categoryid$abcat0101001&cp=1&lp=4).
Next we head to Dauntless Bedroom, a store that only has beds, nightstands, lamps, dressers, and other pieces of furniture found in a bedroom. We decide on a nice bedframe ( us/en/catalog/products/S39007661/), a memory-foam mattress ( us/en/catalog/products/00272406/), a sturdy wardrobe ( us/en/catalog/products/S09029240/), two simple nightstands ( us/en/catalog/products/90121234/), a bed-in-a-bag (it includes pillow covers, comforter, sheets, ect. Picture: p/microsuede-hotel-8-piece-comforter-set/-/A-14659855#prodSlot=medium_1_12), and some other décor items.
Four decides that the bedroom and the living room are enough, and takes me to a different shop, one I've never even seen before: a jewelers. We walk through the door and hear a jingling, then a small old man walks out behind the counter.
"What would you like to look at today?" He asks.
"Rings," Four says almost immediately. Is Four going to propose? I hope not, because I'm not ready to get married.
"Engagement?" The man asks, "Oh, and, I'm Oliver."
"Not engagement," Four replies. I smile on the inside, he knows me too well.
"Over there," The man says as he points to a section. Four pulls me over.
"I want you to have a special token, to know that I will always love you, no matter what," Four explains, lacing his fingers with mine. I nod and smile and begin looking at the different rings.
"Look at this," I say as Four trots over. I point down to a simple silver band with a black stone in the middle, on the other side the Dauntless Symbol is engraved into it. He smiles and nods, then heads over to pay for it. After it is sized correctly, he slips it onto my ring finger, admiring the simple yet beautiful ring.
"I love it," He says, gently touching the black stone.
"Me too," I say, smiling up at him.
"Zeke is planning to have everyone go swimming at 2 PM, do you want to go?" Four asks.
"Of course. But I'll need to buy a swimsuit," I say. I don't have many clothes, and of the clothes I do own a swimsuit is not among them.
"Alright, I'm going to head to my apartment. When you're done, head over," He says as he hands me a key to his apartment. I wave goodbye and head over to a clothing store. I decide to buy a black top and mint-green bottoms ( p/xhilaration-junior-s-mix-and-match-collection-three/-/A-14791718#prodSlot=large_1_22). After purchasing my bikini set, I head over to Four's apartment to change before the gathering. When I get there I see someone surprising talking with Four.
"Hello Beatrice," My mother says primly.
"Please, call me Tris," I say, frowning. Why is my mom here?
"I am here to speak with Four over here," My mom says, gesturing towards Four.
"Go ahead and change in the bathroom, we should be done by then," Four says. I walk into the bathroom utterly confused and change into my bikini. I put my hair up into a topknot and walk out. My mother is gone by the time I'm done changing.
"She…she found out," Four says as if that explains everything.
"What did she find out?" I ask.
"She found out about my past," He says. Something nags at the back of my head. His past…his past. He's Tobias Eaton! How could I forget that?
"Oh," I say. Four…or should I say Tobias is already in his swimtrunks.
"Ready to go?" He asks. I slip on a pair of jean shorts and walk out the door with him.
We reach the train station just as everyone is getting on. I link my hands with Tobias's and jump on. When we get inside I see all of my friends and a couple dauntless-born.
"We're going to have a barbeque on the beach and go swimming!" Christina shrieks. I smile, noticing her very high-pitched tone. After a while we reach the beach and everyone lays his or her towels down on the moist sand.
"We're playing C or D before the BBQ and swimming, alright?" Zeke confirms. There's a chorus of 'yes's and everyone sits down in a circle.
"Me first! Me first!" Christina sheiks. Wow, that girl and her habit of shrieking. Everyone agrees and a large smile forms on Christina's face.
"Al, C or D?" Christina asks.
"C—c—andor," Al stutters. Christina giggles and smiles even wider.
"Who do you think like-likes you?" Christina asks.
"Tris," Al says as he's looking down.
"I don't like you Al! You know that!" I scream. Fury boils up inside of me. Four has to bring my hands behind my back
"Calm down," He whispers into my ear. I calm down and pout, rearranging myself so I'm on Four's lap.
"My turn! Tris, C or D?" Al asks. Oh no…
"Dauntless!" I say, hoping it isn't going to be playing 7 minutes in heaven with Al.
"I dare you to have some Truth Serum, then I'll ask you 1 question," Al says. I could take off my shorts, but I'll do it. I nod and someone injects me with the serum.
"Do you love me?" Al asks. I scoff and shake my head.
"No, I hate you," I say. Now Al will have to believe me, I mean I said it under Truth Serum.
