A Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Chapter 4: B-Day

Hi guys sorry I haven't updated in a while, this is a long chapter though so it should be good! And I thought it wouldn't take so long so I already have the next chapter completely planned out, lucky you! (and by the way zeke is one year older than them)

CH 4

This morning I convinced Christina to sleep in a little, so we're at the cafeteria at a decent time.

Today is a b-day so will be like my athletic/creative day. Our schedules will be specialized for each student, so today we will figure out what we want our day to be like. That is how it is for Dauntless students at least.

We arrive at the cafeteria and the boys are already there. When they see us, Will pats the seat next to him and Bryce calls out to me, motioning for me to sit next to him. I see Uriah and Tobias give him death glares. I can't help but notice this happens a lot.

"I got you some food, Tris." Bryce says, holding out a banana nut muffin to me. "Thanks." I take the muffin and begin to eat it.

goes up to the microphone and taps it to get everyone's attention. "Good morning everyone! I have an announcement All Dauntless sophomore will be choosing their athletics and arts classes today. You will go into the gym for this, where the rest will be explained. That is all, have a good day."

Uriah's face lights up after this is said and turns back to all of us. "When Zeke did this his sophomore year, he said it was great! You get tested at all of the sports they have here- which is a ton- and which ones you like or are good at, you have for your athletics. For the arts it's stuff like drawing and signing, not as awesome, but still better than a-day."

"What are your athletics and arts, Zeke?" Bryce asks. I think I may see Zeke puff his chest out a little, proudly. "I play football and lacrosse. I also do graphic design and visual effects."

Everyone starts talking about what they want to do. All I catch on to is everyone of the boys wants to do football. Christina asks is cheer-leading is a sport. Everyone laughs. "Not in Dauntless, Chris." Zeke replies.

"So, what would you want to do Tris?" Tobias asks me. I think for a little, but I already basically know what sounds good to me. "I would like to do track and softball. Also so drawing, and singing. Maybe photography if I can do three."

"You sing?" Uriah asks me. "Yep."

"It would be so cool if we did track together!" Christina says excitedly. "We need to get to the gym, guys." Tobias says.

"Alright everyone. Today will be busy and tiring so get ready. How this is going to work is the coach or instructor of each sport or art will determine weather you make the team or club. You will go to the station you want to try out for. One station at a time, each station will run for 15 minutes. Keep in mind that even though only the best get into each, there are so many things to choose from, you will find the things you're good at. We will do sports first. Good luck!"

With this everyone scrambles to get to the station they want to try out for. Christina and I rush off to the track station first. We wait in a line with other people, mainly girls.

"Hello everyone! My name is Amanda Crowe. I am the track coach. How your try outs will work will be simple. First I will do an individual test, then after everyone will be tested collectively. I will have you go in the order that you are already in." She takes the first girl in the line and they go a few yards away for her test. Since Chris and I are near the back, we'll go almost last.

The girl comes back from her sprint and walks around to cool herself down. Christina and I start doing stretches, soon everyone follows us.

"We should get in the back every time, so we can stretch." I nod in approval to her statement.
