It was the day before Visiting Day. So Visiting Day was the day that parents could come see their kids in their new faction if they so chose to do so. Also Dauntless parents could really interact with their kids, as they weren't supposed to interact with them too much. I hated Visiting Day. It wasn't just a day where other factions mingled. To me it was much more, and I hated it.
I walked up to the training room where Amar was, just working with a punching bag. He looked over at smiled. Hey there you are. I smirked some. I really hadn't bounced back from the other night with the Erudite visiting us. My stomach twisted anytime I thought about it. And we still hadn't had the conversation following me wanting to tell Four who I was. I still thought about doing it behind Amar's back. But I had promised I wouldn't. He wiped sweat off his forehead and he smirked. let's go. I frowned some. Where? I asked as I followed him. we headed for the train tracks. I was confused as we hopped the train. He sat down his legs hanging out the door. I sat down next to him. You know what tomorrow is right? I just looked at him and he smiled. I hate it. I said and he shook his head. You shouldn't. I just stared out at the city.

I woke up late. I could hear music already blaring and lots of voices coming from the pit. Amar and I went to the old abandoned amusement park, he powered up some of the rides and we rode them, Well the ones that were still deemed safe. I got dressed and came out and went over a railing that over looked the pit. the song 'HandClap" played over the big speaker. I loved this song. It was on my Ipod. I looked over and watched people interacting with their families. All the colors present. Well, except for grey. Four kinda just stuck to himself, he was on the opposite walkway. I looked up at him and waved once, He smirked and waved back before he walked off and disappeared. I walked around everyone's families before going out. I heard loud thuds. Punching. I walked in and saw Four punching a bag.
Hey. I said and he nodded some. Hey yourself. before going back to the punching bag. Why aren't you out there? My dad no showed. I nodded some looking around. Looks like you weren't the only one. I said pointing to Eric, who walked out from a bathroom he looked like he had been crying. Oh no his dad was already here. I frowned some and he shook his head hiding a laugh steading the bag. Before I came in here, his dad came long enough to tell him how he was a disappointment to the Coulter line. I frowned some shaking my head. His dad made a whole big scene. Sucks. I said and he nodded some. Funny but sucks. I just looked at Four who squinted. So what happened to your family? I looked up my eyes big. I mean I've caught on to you don't have parents, I see you in the "child of Dauntless wing", and you look up to Amar like a parent. Brother. I said and he squinted some. So did they die? I nodded, it wasn't a total lie, my mom had died. I'm sorry, I know how hard it is to lose a parent. I smirked some. Is that why today's hard for you? I looked over as Eric came back out and slipped away, a girl with blue clothes and blonde hair, She was holding his hand. Wonder who that is? Sister maybe? I looked at him and he shrugged. No way he has a girl friend. I shook my head some and looked around. You wanna get outta here? And go where? I shrugged some. Around the city. Kacie I don't- First of all, call me Kace, secondly, don't be a stiff in the mud. I said and he squinted as we headed to an exit. I thought the saying was Stick in the mud. Not in Dauntless. I said.

We were by the old bean structure. It was rusted. It used to be an old tourist trap or something like that. We were on the side that was elevated slightly balancing. You seem to know a lot about, sneaking out. Yeah. You do that often then? He asked from behind me and I shrugged. Not as much, but today is an exception, typically no one notices I'm gone. That's horrible. That's life. I said and he shook his head. Kacie- it's fine really. I said and he sighed some. I wish I knew how to slip away when I was a kid. Why? What? Come on, you were a stiff, it's quiet there in Abnegation. Yeah I guess so.
