"Morning." A deep raspy voice says shaking me awake.

"Morning Alex." I say sitting up in my bed.

"Did you sleep well?" He asks having a seat on the side of the bed.

"Yeah. The best I've had in a while actually."

"That's good. Uh there's breakfast downstairs if you're hungry." He says getting up.

"Thanks." I smile.

"No problem." He says leaving, shutting the door behind him.

I grab my phone off the nightstand.

I already texted Lynn and Uriah that I was fine. Why can't I just have peace to myself?

I get up, get dressed and jog downstairs.

"Good morning Ms. Prior. Breakfast is on the porch."

"Thank you..." I say searching for his name.

"Charles."

"Thank you Charles."

"You are most certainly welcome."

I walk to the porch to see Alex, James, Jasmine, a very tall brown haired man, and a tall blonde middle aged woman.

"Hello dear." The middle age mother says.

"Hello." I awkwardly wave.

"My name is Mira. I am these weirdos mother," she says gesturing to James, Alex, and Jasmine, "And this is Alex, but we call him Al." She says gesturing to the tall man.

"Nice to meet you both. My name's Tris." I say.

I guess I should shake their hands now. Right?

I walk over to them and hold my hand out for them to shake.

I awkwardly shake both of their hands, and hear James snicker.

"Nice to meet you Tris." They both say.

"I am so sorry, but me, Al, and Jasmine have to blast. We will see you guys later tonight. It was so nice to meet you Tris." Mira says walking to the door.

"Later guys." Al says walking out the door.

"Bye." Me, James, and Alex say in unison.

"So are you just gonna stand there all day or what?" James says stuffing his face with food.

"Sorry." I say sitting down at the porch table.

I look at all the food on the table, and give it a strange look.

"Is there something wrong with the food?" Alex asks.

"What? No. Umm I uh just have never seen a lot of this food before. That's all."

"Oh. Well I would recommend this, this, and this." Alex says putting a curled up flakey piece of bread on plate, a waffle with a bunch of syrup and fruits in it, and a piece of bacon. I ate some bacon in the dauntless training, and I ate waffles in abnegation, but we didn't have anything on it.

"Thanks." I say.

"No problem." He says going back to his plate.

"So what are we doing today?" I ask.

"Well, I was going to just give you a tour of everything around here." Alex says.

"I'm down for that." I say, eating the piece of bread.
