Previous chapter:
I asked kindly. "Y-Yes" she stammered.
Okay on three. "1...2...3!" I told her.
It was a fall but we landed safely in a net.
We were then greeted and helped out of the net by some guy.
Here's the next chapter!
Enjoy!
"Welcome to Dauntless. he said.
"What are your names?
You can change them but remember you can only choose once so make it count." He told us.
"My name is Nate!"
"My name is Alexis!"
"FIRST JUMPERS, NATE AND ALEXIS!" He yelled so all the Dauntless could hear him.
We smiled at each other.
After all the initiates had jumped. We split up into 2 groups, Dauntless-borns and Transfers.
A man named Four and a girl named Tris were training the Transfers, and as for the Dauntless-borns, they were getting trained by a guy named Uriah and another man named Will.

Sarah and I were walking to get accustomed to the compound with the rest of the Transfers.
All of a sudden the instructors named Four and Six stopped at a place called the Pit.
"This is the center of the Dauntless Compound the Pit. A Candor girl named Christie said, "the Pit? HA! Clever name!" Six went up to her slowly.. " if I wanted to put up with Candor smart mouths I would have joined their Faction. Oh and the first lesson you'll learn from us is if you want to survive in Dauntless you'll KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT! Are we clear Candor?!" "You may continue Four."thank you Six." He smirked. "As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted. You'll some day learn to love it!" Continued Four.
The next place that we visited was the Chasm. Once we stopped Four said, "THIS PLACE REMINDS US THAT THERE IS A FINE LINE BETWEEN BRAVERY AND RECKLESSNESS!" "Someone will jump over the Chasm and die, it's happens at least once every year it'll happen again!" Six finished.

After the tour, Four told us every day we will be training from 9 AM to 6 PM.
"If you are late, then you might as well be Factonless!" Said Four.
Most of the Transfers were freaking out, but Alexis and I just remained silent.

"I want to be more than just friends with Alexis, but I am so scared that she'll say no." I thought to myself. "Umm Alexis?" I say
She looks at me as to say "Yes?"
I would you like to go out with me? I ask inquisitively.
"N-Nate? YES YES YES YES!" I have been wanting to date you since the day I met you."
"Wait? Really?" I say dumbly.
"Its true I have Nate I think I-I-I..." She can't seem to get the words out... "Shhh Alexis. I just kiss her right on the lips and I say. "I love you too.
Before you ask Alexis, "yes this does mean we are boyfriend and girlfriend.
She jumps in my arms and kiss some more until we hear "UGH GET A ROOM!" Yells a guy named Zach. We reluctantly break apart.
"Oh my god I can't believe a Stiff is actually kissing someone!" says Zach to his friends, Aaron, Dylan, and Jon.

We walk away hand and hand, just happy as can be because we have each other and I realize now that we will make it through Initiation together!
Alexis POV
The next day, we start out by doing Knife throwing. I am struggling to hit the target, before I can throw again Four stops me "breathe in, throw and breathe out," before I know it I am hitting the target near the bullseye. I notice that Alexis is having trouble so I go over to her kiss her and say "Try this Lexi. Breathe in, throw and breathe out." "Thanks Nate" she kisses me.
Nate POV
"God Stiff!" Rickey yells "STOP KISSING IN PUBLIC you are grossing us all out!" We start to throw again, then Four and Six walk over. "So you two are together?" said Six making it sound like a question by raising her voice at the end. "Yep!" Nate answered popping the P at the end earning a giggle and a kiss from me.
"That's good you both will go far if you are this close because you'll find a way to keep each other in all the stages. Four chimed in.
"We smiled as Four said "OKAY INITIATES TIME FOR LUNCH! BE BACK HERE IN AN HOUR OR BE FACTIONLESS!"
We left hand in hand heading to the cafeteria.

"You two? AHAHAHA OH MY GOD STIFF YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!" Xavier laughed and thats when I punched him "SHUT THE HELL UP BEFORE I REALLY GET ANGRY!" I barked.
Oh? And what can a poor Stiff like you POSSIBLY do to ME?!" He barked back.
"I can do more than you think. I said.
I tripped him, he jumped easily, "is that all Stiff? Ha!" He spat.
NOPE! I slammed my fist right into his stomach doubling over, punched his nose... Hard. Then I slammed my other fist into his jaw knocking him flat on his ass knocking him out.
I look at Alexis, and she just seems dumbfounded.
I then turn my attention to Xavier and say "lay off Alexis and I, or I swear I will PERSONALLY throw you over the Chasm myself!" I say under gritted teeth.
