Cruel//Eric Divergent

8~Different

It is finally 6:00 so we meet up with Marlene, Lynn and Uriah. We all walk to the pit, and decide to separate into groups. I'm going with Tris to the tattoo parlor first. I go first, and get 2 tattoos. *in picture*I get the infinity sign for my family, and the "I go to seek a great perhaps" one because that's what I'm doing in Dauntless, seeking a great perhaps. Some random Dauntless guy did my tattoos, and before I walk back to the front of the shop, I notice Tris walking with a dark haired tattoo artist. I think she's the lady who did my aptitude test.
"Tris, I'm going to go to the hair and piercing shops ok?" I say as she walks past me
"Sure, I'll see you at dinner," she says with a soft smile.
I don't see any of my other friends on the way to the piercing shop, so I just walk in and up to the counter.
"Hi I'm Cora, what would you like today?" The lady says. She has multiple piercings and bright pink hair. I describe to her the piercings I want, and she does them quickly. Throughout the time she pierced my ears and belly button, we became friends. I payed and left the shop promising to find her to hangout one day. I walk to the hair shop, which was luckily right next door, and proceed to get my hair done. It is going pretty uneventfully until Eric walks in. Don't know why, his hair doesn't need that much work. He pulls the other assistant into a corner and talks to him in a way that looks kind of intimidating. I can't make out what he says, but the assistant looks scared. Just as the assistant doing my hair announces that it's done, Eric walks over to me.
"Doing so something new? I like it," he says while touching the end of my now purple hair.
I pointedly turn so he let's go of my hair and then reply,
"Yeah I thought it was time to completely leave behind Amity,".
"I can see that, you fought well today, for your first fight," he says without much emotion, not that that's unusual.
"Thank you, but I've got to go, I'm meeting friend, see you tomorrow," I say sweetly and leave the shop. When I walk into the cafeteria I walk towards the first friends I see, which happen to be Lynn, Uriah and Marlene.
"Hey Addi, have you met my brother Zeke? Uriah asks me the second I sit down.
"No, hi it's nice to meet you," I say while smiling at the older boy that Uriah looked at, and who actually looked a lot like him.
"You too, I'm this idiots better looking and just generally better big bro," Zeke says with a friendly smile. Uriah doesn't like that though, and he ends up punching Zeke playfully, to which Zeke ruffles his hair.
"OMG ADDI YOUR HAIR! IT LOOKS AMAZING! AND THE TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS WOW!" Marlene suddenly screams, making half the cafeteria, including the leaders look at us funny.
"Wow damn girl," Uriah says wile Lynn smiles and plays with my hair.
"Thanks,at least I know it doesn't look bad now," I say with a laugh. After dinner the dauntless born go back to their dorm and I go back to mine, and have a quick chat ti Em and Alex, before crawling into bed fully clothed and falling asleep instantly.

When my alarm goes off at 7:00 I am not happy. My injuries are aching this morning, and Hanna has to drag me out of bed and into the shower. The shower wakes me up though and helps my muscles, along with the knowledge that I won't be fighting today. I get out and get ready, with my hair in a side braid today. I walk into the training room after an uneventful breakfast to find I am the first one here, like yesterday. Except today my company isn't as nice, the only other person in the room is Eric. As I walk into the room he glances at me but doesn't say anything as he continues to write on his damned chalkboard. I walk towards the punching bags and start to warm up, doing some stretches and stuff when I hear loud footsteps walk towards me. I see is black combat boots and his black pants and look up to see Eric's annoying good looking face.
"Yes?" I ask in an almost bored tone.
"Someone told Max about your fight yesterday, and they want to step up your training a bit, so effective tomorrow you will fight some of the transfers, dauntless born and me," Eric says without emotion.
I was fine until I heard him say that I would be fighting him. Who did Max even think I was?
"Ok good, so I'm definitely not fighting today?" I ask curiously.
"No, keg your muscles rest for today," he says with a small grin while staring pointedly at a particularly nasty bruise on my shoulder. A smile, who would've thought Eric was even capable of smiling? Not me, but it looks good on him, making him appear younger, and well happier obviously. Not like a dark void sucking the life out of everyone in the room with him, except me I think. I give him a small smile back and get up, since I know I don't have to fight at all today. Eric walks off as Alex and Em enter the room, and I strike up a conversation with them.

HI GUYS IM BACK so my mum took the iPad off me and hid it and I just got it back so yeah! 6k omg you guys are so amazing! I'll try and update again either later today or tomorrow, but we'll see. Sorry this chapter is kind of a filler but there are a few Eric and Addi scenes in this! And who is absolutely obsessed with her hair like I am?! Anyway, if you have any ideas for this story please let me know in the comment and if I use any I'll dedicate the chapter to whoever's idea it was.
