THE WIND RUSHED IN HER EARS AS SHE PLUMMETED TO THE GROUND. Amiah thinks she maybe screamed but everything happened too fast for her to know for sure. She landed on something but went flying into the air again before finally going still. Her hands felt around, not knowing what she landed on. A net?

She could hear the cheers of the other initiates as someone tugged on the net to help her get down. Strong arms gripped her waist and helped her onto her feet. It was a man with short brown hair and blue eyes.

"You got a name," he asked, looking bored with the whole situation.  "Amiah"

His facial expression faltered, "Amiah?" Furrowing her eyebrows in confusion, "Is that a weird name or something," Amiah couldn't help but ask.

Expression turning cold again, the man looked away, "Amiah," he shouted to the Dauntless crowd, and they began cheering her name.

"Hey!" Marlene was waving her over to join her and Uriah. Amiah made her way over, "Please ask your hot brother if there's more jumping."

Uriah groaned as Lynn and Marlene began to cackle, "Not you too," he said dramatically. Amiah couldn't help the grin that creeped onto her face.

The initiates followed Eric and the angry looking man further into the compound. Beside them was a girl with long dark hair and a lip piercing.

"Initiates!" shouted Eric. "This is Four," referring to the man who had helped Amiah off the net, "And Lauren."

"Dauntless borns go with Lauren and transfers are to go with Four."

Amiah wanted to scream. Great. She gets the grumpy guy and she doesn't get to stay with her new friends. They gave her sympathetic smiles and pats on the back, "We'll see you at dinner kay?" Marlene said kindly. Amiah waved mournfully as they walked away.

She was alone again.

"That has to be the record for the shortest friendship ever."

When did Peter even get here? Why was this guy everywhere Amiah was?

"They said they'll find me later."

Peter laughed cruelly, "You think they meant that? Be real, nerd. That's just what people say when they don't want to be mean."

Amiah's stomach dropped. Was that true?

"Amiah!" Beatrice ran over, Christina close behind her. Beatrice glared at Peter before smiling at Amiah, "Want to walk together? We would stick together as transfers."

"Okay," said Amiah, playing it cool, pretending like she wasn't ecstatic at having someone actually seek her out. She walked off with the two girls leaving Peter in the dust. "Props for jumping first Tris!" said some random Dauntless born.

Amiah raised an eyebrow at her, "Tris?" Tris shrugged her shoulders, "New beginnings and all."

"New beginnings and all," agreed Amiah, smiling at the girl, "I like the name."
