Hey everyone! Here's the second chapter to the story! Hopefully you'll enjoy it!
I own nothing. Everything belongs to Veronica Roth.
I wake up and look at the clock, it read 8:30. I stretch and sigh. I stare at the ceiling and think about what my parents are doing. They are probably looking for me, they probably alerted the police, asked my friends and told them to keep an eye out for me. I'm not going back to that house. My parents are just got to beat the living shit out of me like they always do. They would leave nasty bruises and my friends would ask why I would be acting weird. They all confronted me and I showed them the bruises and they told their parents. Their parents told me to stay with them until child protective services could take me away. I told them not to tell child protective services and I would go to the police or something else. My friends' parents have always treated me like I was their own.
I suddenly get the feeling like I'm being watched. I look towards the kitchen and see Four starting at me. "Sorry, I was checking if you were awake and I saw that you were staring at the celling." he says with a smile.
I smile and say "It's ok. I was just thinking about what my friends are doing right about now. They're probably in school."
Four walks over to the cabinets and looks inside. He shakes his head and says "Well I have no food in this place so we can go to the cafeteria for breakfast. I think you, Christina, and the girls were going shopping today."
I get out of bed and nod. I remembered that I told Christina and the girls that we would go shopping today. I grab my bag and go to the bathroom. I put my hair in a ponytail and splash some water on my face. I dry my my face off and brush my teeth. I look at myself in the mirror and decide to put some makeup on today. I change my clothes and put on my makeup. I take my hair out of the ponytail and brush it out. I decide that I need to add some color to my hair.
I exit the bathroom and see Four standing by the counter waiting for me. I walk over to the bed and put on my shoes. As I finish putting on my shoes I say, "I'm ready. We can go." He nods and starts walking towards the door. I followed him and walk out the door after him. He locks his door and we start walking towards the cafeteria. We walk to his regular table that he and his friends usually sits at. We get breakfast and talk for a bit before the others show up.
"Four and Angela!" I hear Zeke yell once he gets close to our table.
"Hi Zeke. Hi Shauna." I say.
Zeke and Shauna sit in front of us. Uriah, Marlene, and Lynn show up a few minutes later. Christina, and Will show up last with another person. A girl about 18 with long blonde hair and grayish-blue eyes.
"Angela this is Tris but everyone calls her Six. Tris this is Angela she's new to the city and dauntless." Christina says.
Tris looks from Four to me. I get the feeling like she's jealous. I have my friends be jealous of before but Tris looks like she wants to murder me. She hold out her hand and sayS "Nice to meet you." I take her hand and shake it while saying "Nice to meet you too."
I get the feeling that Four and Tris were together and something happened that made them breakup. I'm just about to ask Christina about our girls shopping day when I hear someone say "Geez Four, looks like you hooked another one."
I look over my shoulder and see a guy with long dark hair with multiple piercings. He has cold eyes that reminded me of my parents' eyes.
"Screw you Eric." I hear Four say breaking me out of my thoughts.
Eric sits next to me and I start to get an uneasy feeling about him. I turn my attention back to Christina and ask her "So we still going shopping after breakfast?"
"Yep and I asked Tris if she wanted to come along if that's ok with you." she says while eating her breakfast.
"So Angela where are you from?" asks Eric.
"I'm from Springfield." I tell him even though I'm lying. I'm originally from St. Louis but I can't have them going all the way there and drag my parents here to take me back.
"Really? So did you come to Chicago with your parents?" he asks.
I know that he's flirting with me but I don't like it. I never liked the cocky guys at my school flirting with me. Eric reminds me so much of those guys. They'll act like they care about you then, they'll move on to the next girl.
"Angela, you ready?" asks Christina getting from her seat.
"Yeah. See you boys later." I say getting up from my seat.
I follow Christina and the girls out of the cafeteria. They lead me to where all the stores are in Dauntless. We go into one store and Cristina insists on me trying on every cute top, cute pair of jeans or hot dress she finds. After I get a few dresses, tops and pants she drags me into a lingerie store. My friends back home tried to get me some and my parents found them and then they beat me until I blacked out. I have always been self-conscious about my body. My friends back home knew that and that's why they bought me those lingerie's.
After so many stores and countless hours of shopping and a lot of shopping bags later, I told the girls that I wanted to get my hair highlighted. The girls thought that it was a wonderful idea. I always wanted to get my hair highlighted back home but my parents would never let me do it. We go to the hair salon and the girl who does Shauna's hair agreed to do my hair. Two hours later, my hair looks awesome. I decide to get a few tattoos and my cartilage pierced.
We go to Tori at the tattoo parlor to look at some designs for which tattoo I want. I decide to get the dauntless symbol on my right shoulder. I look at my new cell phone I got to see what time it is. I see that it's close to 5:30 and I ask the girls if they want to get dinner in the cafeteria. The girls agreed and they wanted the guys to join us. We walked to the cafeteria and noticed that the boys are at the table already. I sit down next to Four while Christina sits next to Will. Tris sits on the other side of Will. Marlene sits next to Uriah and Lynn sits on the other side of him. Shauna sits next to Zeke. We talk for a while about random stuff. I feel a hand on my shoulder and look up to see Eric staring down at me.
"What do you want Eric?" I hear Four ask angrily.
"Max wants to meet the new girl, in his office alone." Eric says.
"I'm not sure if that's a good idea." says Four.
"He's going to meet her sometime. It's either now or later and Max is picking now." Eric says.
"Four it's ok. I'll meet Max and maybe he'll let me stay in Dauntless." I say to Four uncertain about my chance of staying in Dauntless.
I get up from the table and follow Eric down a few of hallways until we get to a door that I presume is Max's office. Eric knocks and we hear someone yell "Yeah."
Eric opens the door and blocks the doorway from me. "I got the new girl here with me." he says to the man inside who I presume is Max.
"Let her in." I hear Max say.
Eric walks into the room and gestures for me to come inside the room. I walk into the room and see the man who I presume is Max is standing by his desk. He looks at me with total shock and says "Amanda?"
And that's where I'm going to leave you all for now. Who do you think Amanda is?
Review please!
