"Brayden get up." I heard someone murmur in my ear. I groaned and buried myself deeper into the pillow.

"What do you want?" I groaned and Eric chuckled.

"For you to get out my bed and go train for stage 2!" Eric said sarcastically and I groaned before dragging myself out of his bed and into the bathroom. I quickly brushed my teeth then ran the hairbrush through my hair before tying it up in a messy ponytail. Then, I quickly changed out of Eric's shirt and into my spare clothes.

When I walked out the bathroom, Eric was standing there shirtless and I blushed lightly at the sight.

"You ready Brayden?" He asked and I nodded.

"Yep. Are you?" I smirked gesturing to the top half of his body and he laughed.

"Yeah, 2 seconds." He said and walked into his bedroom then returned with a tshirt and jacket on.

"Let's go." He said and walked towards the door. Before he opened it, he leaned down and kissed me. I kissed back but he pulled away quickly.

"What are you doing tonight?" He asked me and my mind raced back to yesterday.

"Going to Zeke's, why?" I told him and he rolled his eyes.

"What are you doing tomorrow?" He asked and I shrugged.

"I don't know, why?" I asked and he smirked.

"Wanna go out?" He asked and I smiled at him.

"Of course Eri beri!" I said and he groaned.

"Brayden I mean it, stop calling me that." He said coldly and I laughed.

"Let's go." I said and opened the door. I walked down the hall with Eric walking quietly behind me.

"I have to go wake everybody up, you just go to the dining hall." Eric said to me and I nodded.

"See you later." I sighed before walking down the hall to get some food. When I arrived, there was quite a lot of people around. I spotted a table that had Four, Uriah and Luke sitting at it so I headed over and sat down next to them.

"Morning babes." I said and they laughed.

"Morning Bray, you coming tonight?" Uriah asked me and I nodded.

"Of course! Why would I miss it!" I said.

"Well we will see you there." Luke said.

"Four how long do we have left until the end of initiation?" I asked him and he shrugged.

"I don't know, 5 days or something. You will continue your fears up until day 4 then on day 5 is your final test." Four said and I shuddered.

"I actually despise doing these fear things." I said and Uriah agreed.

"Me too, I can't wait to be an official member of Dauntless." He said and I nodded. I turned around in my seat to look around and saw Liv, Matt and Jack sitting across the hall.

"I'll catch up with you guys tonight, see you later babes." I said and stood up.

"Bye Bray." They mumbled in unison and I laughed then walked off to the other table.

"Morning sunshine!" I shouted in Matt's ear and he jumped.

"Good morning Brayden." He mumbled and I plopped down in the seat next to him.

"How are you two?" I asked gesturing to Liv and Jack.

"We are doing great, thank you Brayden." Jack said and I smiled.
