"So Liv actually thought the dirt was black sugar?"

"I was five!" The table laughs as Liv tries to defend herself.

"Shit." Sam stands up after checking her watch. "I'll see you for breakfast." She kisses Liv's head before she pulls her boyfriend with her up a flight of stairs.

Not even seconds later, an alarm blares and clanging begins. I cover my ears in annoyance before I look at Liv.

"It's like a ritual every year that they do for initiates." I nod and wait for the bangs to end before I uncover my ears.

"Initiates, stand." I shove my cake into my mouth before I stand and Liv snickers.

"That's Max, I'm sure you know him." I nod. Max is the current leader of Dauntless.

"You have chosen to join the warrior faction, tasked with the defense of this city and all its inhabitants." I chew and swallow my cake, lightly hummus in disappointment knowing that I ate it all instead of savoring it. "We believe in ordinary acts of bravery and the courage that drives one person to stand up for another. Respect that. Do us proud." His speech ends and clapping ensued as I wipe the crumbs from off my lips.

I was approached by a man, I raise a brow and look at Liv who was being picked up to crowd surf. I shrug and jump on the man, causing more snickers before I was being passed along.

When the last person grabbed me, they lifted me qonto their shoulder's. I look over everyone and notice that I'm on stage platform on a leader's shoulder. That leader being Eric.

When the cheers quiet down, we were being set on our feet and I felt a squeeze on my thigh. I squint at Eric and his hand placement.

Once the celebration was over I walk back to our table, stealing Liv's chocolate cake as I went to clear my tray.

"Hey!" Liv chased after me and I shoved the cake in my mouth as I set my tray down. "Cake thief!" I run back to the sleeping quarters. "Azar!"

I laugh, almost choking on the cake before I chew and swallow. I run to claim a toothbrush before brushing my teeth. Liv comes in and looks at me expectantly. I spit out the toothpaste.

"Thank you so much for your cake. It was delicious. It had just the right amount of chocolate and everything." She squints at me as I smile. "It was the best cake I've ever had. Plus ten points since it was yours."

"That's why you choked on it." She huffs at me.

"Choke on this dick." I slide past her and to our beds as the other dauntless born initiates trickle in. I take off my clothes and pull on my pajamas. "Au revoir and all that jazz."

"You're a bitch." I laugh as she nudges me when she goes to her bed.

"Yeah I know, I bite like one too." I bite the air at her as I lay down on the bed. We were gonna continue playfully bickering before I noticed Kira and Avery sitting nervously on their beds. "What's wrong?"

"There's a lot of people around." Avery held up her pajamas as a signal while Kira continued to look around nervously.

"I understand." I get up and lift my blanket to shield them. "Go on." I nod and they hide behind the blanket to change into their pajamas.

"You guys have to get to the pit." I groan and roll the other way. "Why are you being so stubborn?!" Liv pulls me out of bed and shoved clothes in my arms. "Get dressed, Eric is one of your instructors. He doesn't tolerate tardiness."

"And I don't tolerate waking up at seven in the morning." I grumble and get dressed, going to the bathroom to brush my teeth.

"Look on the bright side, at least today it'll just be testing your strengths." Tristan pats my shoulder trying to cheer me up as he also brushes his teeth.

"It's seven in the morning." I huff at him as I put my hair in a ponytail. "Why isn't Avery and Kira up if Eric 'doesn't tolerate tardiness'?"

"Well..." Tristan and Liv look at each other.

"What?" I turn to them squinting.

"They're kinda not here."

"What do you mean kinda? They either are or they aren't." I walk to their beds and see them empty. "Where did they go?" I sit on my bed and pull on my boots, tying the laces.

"Hopefully to breakfast and then the pit." Liv sits beside me, still in her pajamas.

"Is only initiate transfer's training this early?" They both nod and I groan, standing up.

"We'll eat breakfast with you." Liv wraps her arm around my neck. "Dauntless born initiates start training at 10 so that the classes don't overlap and initiates won't be distracted or intimidated."

"Who would ever be intimidated by him?" I motion to Tristan who walks into the door as we walk out.

"Good point."
