I saw out of the corner of my eye that Four spotted me leave. I hoped he didn't follow me, and surprisingly, he didn't. But someone else did.
"What's your deal?" Peter said as he took a step in front of me to stop me from passing him.
"Is that like a catch-phrase here in Dauntless?" I snap.
"Because lately, everyone's been asking me that and I've always given the same answer, Peter, what the hell is that supposed to mean?"
"Well, you could call it a catch-phrase that we Dauntless use when someone is suspicious. Now, I'm not saying you're up to something bad, but your behavior shows that you have something to hide. Something big," he says, looking me right in the eye.
I don't respond.
"So?" he takes a step back. "Anything you wanna share?"
After about a minute of silence, I break it. "Hm, nope." before allowing him to take my quick answer in, I sprint away.
Whew. That was a close one. They really are onto me, aren't they? I should've gone to Eric and talked to him about this the first time this happened, but no, of course, I needed to be the BiG bAd GiRl and handle it on my own. I look at the watch Eric gave me, to see that I had missed dinner. It was 8:30pm already. Every initiate has to be in bed by 9 but is allowed to stay awake for as long as they want to. I was tired, and I was not in the mood to explore more chambers of the dauntless compound, so I decided it was time for me to go to bed.
On the way back to the quarters I overheard a weird conversation between Peter and his brother, you guessed it, Josh. I didn't hear that much, because they were whispering but I could make out something along the lines of;
'Of course' and 'Erudite' from Josh, but from Peter, I heard a lot more. He's not as good at whispering as his brother;
'Fishy, or suspicious you could say' and 'Four needs it' and 'We need your help'
Of course, this sounds disturbing and very, very private. But I couldn't help listening. Four needs something. Peter and Four, I'm guessing, need Josh's help with something. Something about Erudite is suspicious or fishy. I don't mean to be self-centered or anything, but this, this is definitely about me.
Anyways, apparently, I was deep into dauntless headquarters because it took me around 30-40 minutes to get back to the sleeping compound. I made it just in time for compound arrest. I saw Sarah already fast asleep on her bed, but Josh was nowhere to be seen. He's probably still out with his brother. That guy's about to get in troubleeee. I quickly changed into my pj's and went to bed. I fell asleep almost instantly. I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
