Eric slouches in his chair, taking a swig of water, feet kicked up on the table. You approach him, heat flushing in your cheeks. Eric, the Dauntless leader. Can you even ask him?

"Eric," you say, and he looks over at you.

"Yeah?" he grunts.

"Will you go to the Dauntless Ball with me?"

Eric freezes, the water halfway down to the table. He looks up at you, then back down at the table. "Is this a joke?" he says gruffly, setting his water down. "It's not very funny."

"It's not a joke," you say, and he looks up, something new in his eyes.

"You mean it?" he says, almost like he can't believe it.

"I mean it," you say, giggling. "Do you need a flower to prove it?"

If you have less than 3 Eric points, Eric turns back to his drink and says, "Dating new recruits is frowned upon. Get out of here, kid." You can go back to 129 and choose someone else.

If you have +3 Eric points, continue reading.

Eric stands up, spreading his arms. "Why the heck not."

He bows to you, but you can't help but catch a glimmer of genuine excitement in his eyes. "Dauntless Ball," you hear him mutter under his breath, shaking his head as he walks away.

You giggle, turning back to your friends as Christina finally pulls you away.

"You know where we're going?" she says to you, grinning wide.

"Dress shopping?" you guess, and she squeals.

"Yes!"

Advance to 134.
