Chapter 2
The Roommate
Dauntless floor. I am in the Dauntless floor. What a cool name. Dauntless.
.xx.
The doors open, and we enter the elevator.
A girl with two braids walks in as well and presses the 1 button. Caleb presses 4 and looks for the number 5.
"Hm, Tris? There is no fifth floor..." Caleb says.
"Oh, excuse me?" The girl in the two braids says, smiling kindly "If you are headed to the fifth floor you have to take the stairs at the fourth."
"What?" I ask shocked. "You mean there is no elevator to the fifth floor?"
She nods her head no and the big metallic grey doors close.
"Well... Thank you." I say and she smiles.
The doors open again in the first floor and I can see "Amity" written on the wall right in front of the elevator. The "y" on Amity forms a bunch of branches and it has a flower in the end of one of them. The girl leaves and takes a left.
"Stairs... Now that's a bummer..." I say under my breath.
Caleb was the only one who heard me and snorted.
When we arrived at the fourth floor, the four of us got out of the elevator with our luggage. And just like in the first floor there was "Erudite" written on the wall. The top part of the "e" on the end, formed a eye.
I wondered what kind of drawing would Dauntless have while my mom and I climbed up the stairs. When we arrived at the top, my eyes widen.
I almost couldn't see the white on the walls due to the graffities that were all over. I could read "DAUNTLESS" in the middle of them. Instead of being written with clean letters like Amity and Erudite, Dauntless was written in graffiti and it looked like flames. It was like the word Dauntless itself was on fire. I loved it.
"Honey, what is your room?" My mom asks me. I take out a piece of paper of my back pocket and say it's room 564B. We turn left, because that's the way the B dorms are.
"521, 534, 559," I murmur while looking at the numbers on the doors "564! Mom, I found it."
I put my hand on the round handle and turn it slightly. I open the door and saw a massive window with black blinds right in front of door. The window had a huge windowsill, and I could certainly sit on it. Next to the window, I saw a desk and a bunch of nail polishes, brushes, makeup and a bag.
I made a weird face and entered the room with my mom.
"What a... cozy room." She said, looking around.
In the right side of the door, there was another door that was closed. I guessed it was the bathroom. There was a little hallway and then, at my right side, there were two beds. They were nothing like the one I had back in my room. It was twice the size, but it didn't seem like a double. In the middle of the beds, there was a nightstand. In front of the beds, there was a table, a lamp and a TV. In the left corner of the room, there was a closet.
In the right sided bed, there was an huge bag. There were clothes all over it.
The bathroom door opens and a pretty girl with big brown eyes, short hair and dark skin smiles.
"Hello, you must be my roommate!" she says.
"Hello. Yes, I am. You must be," I think about the name that Max mentioned earlier. Tina, Carrie, Chris, "CHRISTINA!" I snap my fingers.
"Yes, I am" she laughs.
"I am Beatrice." I place my hand in front of her. I was hoping she would shake it, like normal people would, but instead she hugs me.
"Nice to meet you, Beatrice!"
"This is my mother, Natalie Prior." I gesture towards my mom.
"Nice to meet you, Christina." she says politely.
"Pleasure is all mine." Christina says, shaking her hand.
For a couple of moments I thought she was going to hug my mother, like she hugged me. It scared me a little.
"I am so sorry for this mess, I had no idea you'd be arriving so soon." She says towards me. I laugh.
"Beatrice, we have to get going. You father needs to get to work before lunch time." she heads to the door. "Goodbye, Christina."
"Goodbye Mrs. Prior. See you in a bit, Beatrice" she waves.
.xx.
As we arrive at the car, Caleb and dad are already there.
"This seems like a really good school, Andrew." My mother says.
"I agree, and I hope you two," he points at us "behave well."
"We will." Caleb says. I just stand there smiling.
My father hugs Caleb, and then hugs me, before getting in the car.
After hugging my brother, my mom comes to me and hugs me tightly.
"Everything is going to be just fine, Beatrice. Don't worry." she whispers in my ear, and I hug her even tighter.
She gets in the car and my dad starts the engine.
"Call us when you can. I love you both. Don't ever forget." She smiles.
And then, as the second pass by, I can only see her wave as their car eventually disappears in the horizon.
Caleb throws his arm around my shoulders.
"Now, it is just you and me." he says.
"What..." My eyes widen at him. "MOM, TAKE ME WITH YOU!" I scream playfully.
We end up laughing like two crazy siblings, in the middle of the street until we decide to head back to our dorms again, to bond with out roommates.
"Have you met you roommate yet?" I ask Caleb.
"I did. On my way here, he asked me if I knew where room 482A was. I was like "You are my roommate!" and he asked me to show him where the room was." He explained. "His name is Fernando."
"Cool. Well, my roommate jumped over me when we met." I laugh "She is Christina."
"I like her name."
"Want to meet her?" I ask.
"Later. I have to unpack first." He said, as we were already waiting for the elevator to come.
"Oh god. And I have stairs to climb." I roll my eyes and he laughs.
When we get to the fourth floor, we said goodbye and I headed towards the fifth floor. I take the right.
"539, 554," I murmured "564." I looked around.
I thought my room was on the other side... Weird.
I opened the door to be greeted by a boy.
"Hm, hello?" he says.
I looked around and realized I was in the wrong dorm. The room was exactly as mine, but it was like mirrored.
"Ohh. I am sorry. Isn't this room 564?" I raised my brow and checked the number on the door.
"It is, indeed. But I think you are on the wrong hall. This is hall A. Boys hall." he grins. He has a cute grin.
"Silly me! I took the wrong path." I laugh uncomfortably, realizing my mistake.
"It's fine." He says "I was about to change." He winks "You were lucky"
After that, I close the door and lead my hand to my forehead. I am such an idiot.
I actually don't like this chapter... But hey, two updates in one day? You should all feel lucky!
Of all the boys we know and love from Divergent, which one do you think it is the one Tris met?
I'll be revealing that next chapter.
Don't forget to review, to let me know what you are thinking of the story.
