Hi! If you guys have any more ideas for the story let me know through reviews or PM me!
I own nothing. Everything belongs to Veronica Roth.
Angela's POV
I am freaking out right now. I have never been to a council meeting before and I have no idea what I am supposed to do. I hope no one at the meeting recognizes me. If some of these people knew my mother then they will recognize me but hopefully Max was the only one who knew my mother. Max's voice startles me out of my thoughts.
"No one will recognize you. I was the only one who knew your mother as a good friend."
I sigh and say "I'm sorry. I'm just really nervous. I have never been to a meeting like this before and I'm afraid people won't take me seriously."
Max takes my hand and gives me a quick squeeze. After a minute he says "Everyone will respect you. They will ask about your opinion on things but no one will think that you don't know what you are doing."
I nod and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding. We get to a place that I don't recognize. We get out of the car and start walk up to the building.
"This is Candor's headquarters. It's called the Merciless Mart." Max says.
We walk into the building and walk through the halls until we enter a conference room. There are a lot of people in this room. I follow Max to our seats and try to calm down. I take a few deep breaths and look over the notes Max gave me.
"Max, who is this young beauty?" I hear someone behind me ask.
I turn around and see a man dressed in white and black. I suddenly feel nervous because I was hoping to get through this meeting without being noticed. Max stands and I decide to stand also.
"Jack this is Angela. She is a new representative for Dauntless. Angela this is Jack Kang. He is the leader of Candor." Max says. I hold out my hand for him to shake and say "Nice to me you."
He takes my hand and shakes it. He smiles at me and says "Likewise."
I decide to sit down and look over the notes for the meeting. While I'm looking at the notes I can hear Jack and Max talking behind me. I try not to listen but I'm curious to know what they are talking about.
"Jeanine is not going to like this." I hear Jack say.
"It doesn't matter. Angela will be a perfect representative for Dauntless. Nothing bad is going to happen." Max says.
I keep looking at the notes and decide to focus on the meeting instead of what they are talking about. Max sits down and the meeting starts. I listen to what all the leaders have to say. They talk about what the city needs to be fixed or changed. I tune out the meeting once it gets to boring. I pay attention again once an argument breaks out between a man in gray and Max. They argue over letting a faction called Abnegation using the trains for a way of transportation.
I read in the notes about how Abnegation is the plain and boring faction. I try not to laugh at the argument.
"I think that we should be able to at least try to see if people in Abnegation could use the train." the leader of Abnegation Marcus says.
"Your people will get killed. They wouldn't know how to get on and off a train." Max argues.
Marcus looks at him angry. Max turns to me and asks "Angela. What do you think?"
The first thing that I think is Shit. I stand up and say "I think that if the people of Abnegation don't know how to use the train properly then they should not be using the train."
"Is that your honest opinion?" Jack asks.
"No. I think that if people want to use the train then they can but if they don't know how to get on and off the train properly then they shouldn't use it." I say.
"What do you really think about the topic?" Jack asks.
"Jack, she just told you what she thought about the topic." Max says angry.
"I don't think she is being truthful." Jack says.
I suddenly feel uncomfortable. He doesn't believe me. I sit down and say nothing. Max looks at me and says "Jack she isn't from around here."
"Max that's Amanda's daughter." Jack says.
My eyes widen and I feel everyone's eyes on me. Hopefully everyone here doesn't know my mother. Max grabs my arm and pulls me into the next room and Jack follows. Jack shuts the door and says "I'm sorry that I said that in front of everyone but I knew that she looked familiar."
"She doesn't want anyone who knows her mother and call her. She ran away because her parents would beat her and she got sick of it." Max says angry.
Jack looks at me with a concerned look on his face. He walks over to his desk and says "I'll look at the law outside the wall and get back to you. I think that she can be removed from her home"
I sit down on the couch that he has in his office and put my face in my hands. After calming down I ask "Did you also know my mom? How many other people knew my mom?"
"Your mom and I were friends but after she started dating your dad, I stopped hanging out with her." Jack says walking towards me.
"Look everyone when the situation with Amanda but now everyone is going to start asking questions. Jeanine will release a statements on this." Max says.
"Great now I have to leave and go somewhere else." I say.
"No. You're staying in dauntless. You have family in dauntless and you are meeting them tomorrow." Max says.
I forgot that I was meeting my family tomorrow. Now I was nervous beyond belief. I get up from the couch and start pacing. Max gets in front of me and shakes my shoulders.
"You need to calm down. They will love you." he says.
"What if they believe I will end up like my mom?" I ask.
"They won't." he says.
"Look you two can go. It has been a long day. I will talk to you tomorrow Max." Jack says.
"Thank you Jack." Max says.
We leave his office and leave the Merciless Mart. We drive back to dauntless and I get out of the car as soon as we get to dauntless. I am on my way to my apartment when I hear someone ask "Amanda?"
