"C'mon Brayden! It's shopping time!" Liv said from beside me. Currently, we were walking through the pit towards some shops to buy clothes and make up.

"What one will we go in to?" I asked her and she pointed to a very dark looking shop in the corner.

"That one." She said then ran off infront of me. I quickly followed suit and ran into the shop.

"Okay, you go look over there and I will look over here." She said and walked over to her side of the shop. I quickly gathered some nice-ish dresses and a few shirts for training.

"I found you some stuff, now go try it on." She handed me the clothes she got and pushed me into a dressing room. First, I tried on the dresses that I picked up and I didn't like any of them.

"I don't like any of the ones I got. I'll try the ones you got me now!" I shouted to her.

"Okay!" She shouted back. I quickly changed into the next dress that wasn't nice. I slid on the next one that had thin straps and a large cut out design at the stomach bit. I turned to the mirror and gasped at my reflection. This wasn't the Erudite girl I used to be. This was the new, Dauntless woman I am now. I quickly opened the door and walked out to show Liv and she gasped.

"You look absolutely amazing!" She said.

"You have to buy this! Wait I have the perfect shoes!" She said before running off to the shoe section. I laughed and shook my head. Soon after, she came running back with a very high pair of black shoes, that were gorgeous.

"Here, put these on." She said and handed me the shoes. I slid them on and stood up straight.

"You are buying this stuff." She said excitedly and I nodded.

"I love it, thank you Liv." I said and smiled at her.

"Can I please do your hair and makeup tonight?" She asked me with pleading eyes. I groaned but then nodded which caused her to squeal.

"Eric is going to love this." She said and smirked and my cheeks turned a deep red.

"Shut up." I mumbled and she laughed.

"Okay now go get changed, I have some work to do." She said and lightly pushed me towards the changing rooms, again.

.

"Done!" She squealed from behind me. I spun in my chair to look at my reflection. I had loose curls in my hair, my skin was flawless, I had amazing smokey-eyes and bright red lipstick.

"Liv, you are a miracle worker!" I beamed at her and she laughed.

"Okay, time for dress and shoes." She said so I quickly went and slid into my dress and shoes and waited for her to get ready.

"Time to go!" She said after a couple of minutes. She was wearing a tight black dress to show off her amazing figure and some high, chunky heeled shoes. We walked through the dauntless compound, laughing and joking until we heard the loud music. We arrived at the pit and saw everyone around us. We smiled to each other then began making our way through the crowd. First, we headed to where we said we would meet Matt an Jack which was at a table in the corner of the bar bit.

"Wow! Don't my two favourite girls look amazing!" Jack said to us.

"Aw Jack, you're such a cutie. Thank you." I smiled at him.

"Can we go get drinks?" I said and they nodded. We all headed up to the bar together and waited on being served. We chatted about everything and anything until I felt a hand on my hip. I turned to see those all to know blue eyes staring down at me and I smiled. I looked over to my friends.
