So here's my next chapter! Thanks to everyone who is following and/or favorite this! I put in an OC for this chapter that somebody commented. You can still request a character but I might not give them a big part. They may just be the waitress at a coffee shop or they could be somebody really important! Request a character and don't forget, they don't have to have transferred into Dauntless!


"I can't believe I got Erudite," Caleb groaned from my bed.

Susan laughed as she folded her baby blue sweater and put it in her suitcase. We were packing all of our stuff up while Caleb and Robert kept us company. For brothers, they actually didn't get on our nerves that much. Our new dorms were going to be assigned tomorrow morning and we needed to pack our things so the new dwellers of the dorm could hang up their posters and fill the cabinets with their clothing. I wondered who was going to live here after Susan and I transferred.

"Well believe it," I replied to Caleb. "You're stuck there for the rest of the year. And quit complaining! In my opinion, you got lucky."

"I didn't ask for your opinion," he sneered. So much for decent brothers.

"God, can't you be a little nice to me?"

"No, it's my job to annoy you," he smirked at the deadpanned look on my face.

Trying to avoid the oncoming sibling bickering, Susan asked, "Robert, what did you get?"

"Amity," he shrugged.

"Why is everybody getting factions they'll do good in except me," I groaned.

"Who's complaining now?" Caleb said.

Robert laughed and stood up from Susan's bed.

"Okay we need to head out," he said to Caleb, gesturing for him to get up. "Neither one of us has started packing yet."

"Yeah, we should probably do that," Caleb said with disdain evident in his voice.

"Yes, you should," I agreed. Caleb stuck his tongue out at me.

As they left I heard Caleb mumble, "This is going to suck."


Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

"Turn it off!" Susan shouted.

Beep. Beep. Beep. Be—

I smacked my alarm clock and groaned. I glanced at the time I already knew it read: 6:30.

"One thing I won't miss about rooming with you is your alarm," Susan slowly sat up. Her hair stuck out at all angles like it did every morning and her usually bright eyes were bleary with sleep.

I yawned and got dressed in a light green t-shirt, black skinny jeans, and my black converse.

"Today's the day," I said to Susan and attached a gray ribbon to my shirt that was given to us the day before.

A different color ribbon was given out to each faction so everyone would be able to tell where everyone else was initially from. Abnegation had gray, Erudite had blue, Dauntless had black, Amity had yellow, and Candor had white. It was strange how the art faction got the most neutrally colored ribbon.

"Yeah," Susan smiled sadly and packed her light pink and blue duvet into a duffel bag. "I'm going to miss you, Beatrice."

"I'll miss you too," I said. "But let's not get too sad. We can still hang out all weekend!"

Her smile brightened, "Yeah! We could get coffee and chocolate cake at that place off campus. I think some of the Dauntless—the original Dauntless—work there."

I shrugged and put my dirty pajamas, my blanket and sheets, and my alarm clock in my suitcase.

"Alright, let's go," I said.


The lists of new dorms were printed largely and sat on easels—probably taken from the painting room—and scattered around the center of campus. As soon as Susan found her name and what dorm she would be in, she ditched me in an escape of the thick crowds. Believe me when I say that there are a lot of people at this school.

I searched desperately for an easel that read Dauntless. Every time I found an easel it ended up being for Amity or Erudite. I love my brother and all but I don't need to know where he's staying.

"Come on, come on," I muttered, dragging my suitcase behind me which was no easy task through the crowd, especially considering the size and weight of it.

"Finally!" I shouted and ran up to the list. Prior, Beatrice- Dorm 62, Building 4.

Using a pen, I wrote this on my hand so I wouldn't forget and have to go looking for the easel again. By the time I got to Building 4, most of the crowd had dispersed. Building 4 was one of the five dorm buildings on campus. It had three floors and 150 rooms; my room was on the second floor. Of course the building didn't have an elevator so I dragged my suitcase up the stairs, almost tripping three times.

I glanced down at my hand. Room 62. I started at the numbers as I passed and stuck to the even numbers side. 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62!

I pushed open the half-closed door and saw a girl already in there making her bed. She had wavy black hair, brown eyes, and she had olive skin. Must be easy to tan for her.

"Hi," I said as I dropped my suitcase next to my bed. "I'm Beatrice Prior."

She gave me a shy smile and said, "I'm Katherine Lee but call me Kat."

"Nice to meet you," I smiled. "You're from Amity?"

"Yeah," her eyes brightened as she gestured towards her yellow ribbon attached to her purple shirt. "This is my first year here actually."

"Oh it's my third," I replied. "I'm from Abnegation. Painting, more specifically."

"Cool. I'm not a great artist," Kat told me.

"Well you must be a pretty good singer to get into DSTCA. I'm an awful singer," I said.

Kat giggled and we chatted for a while. I told her about Caleb who was an amazing graphics designer in Abnegation, I loved chocolate, and how I couldn't do anything music related to save my life. Kat told me about her love of sushi, she hates overly sparkly things which I had to agree with, and that peacocks are her favorite animals. When it turned ten o'clock we walked to the Dauntless building. Time to become actors and actresses. Yay.

The Dauntless building was huge; the biggest building on campus (besides the Performance Hall) without a doubt. I always wondered what was in there to make it so huge. I had never been in another building but Abnegation; I never felt the need to step out of my territory.

Right inside the building was a big entrance hall where all of the students gathered and talked loudly.

"Let's go talk to some people," I suggested. "Get to know our classmates."

"Uh, I'd rather not," Kat said, looking extremely nervous at the idea. "I'm not good around people."

"You seemed fine around me," I shrugged.

"No, I have to be fine around you. You're my new roommate," she said.

"But we made friends just fine."

"I don't want to, Beatrice," she said shaking her head. "Sorry. You can if you want."

Hesitantly, I nodded, "Okay, I'll see you later."

I walked further into the sea of people leaving Kat behind. I glanced behind me and saw a guy say something to her. Her eyes were glued to the ground and her face got red. Wow, she really was bad around people!

I stepped into the crowd and saw the many ribbons: blue, white, yellow, and a few gray ribbon-bearers that I recognized. I was waving to a boy from my class when a girl bumped into me.


How about them apples? Who's the girl? What will happen next? You don't know but I do! So please review(a character or just a nice comment) and I'll get the next chapter done as soon as possible. P.S. I'm on vacation in Florida so I might not update frequently.
