Rosana PoV;

I am woken up by the sound off a pipe banging off another pipe.

I open my eyes to see Eric and Zeke at the entrance to the dorms
"The pit in 5"is all they say before the disappear.

I get up and throw on a black loose top and black skinnies.

I put on my boots and put my hair in a messy braid that goes down my back.
I run to the hall and grab 4 muffins since I'm the only one up out of me,Uriah,Marlene and Lynn.

As I walk back I hear footsteps and an arrogant voice "wow,your hungry" Eric.
"It's not just for me dumbo"I smugly reply.
"What did you just call me?"He says going back into leader mode.
"I called you a dumbo"I say in a duh tone.
He glares at me and says "Watch your mouth Pedrad."

I walk off down the hallway and say "Bye"and he just mumbled again,something about a wall?????

I continue down the hall and eventually arrive at the pit where my brother and friends are sitting.

They were not expecting food so Uriahs face lights up.They all grab a muffin,and just as they are eating it my brother and Eric walk in.

They talk about the cuts and take us straight to the training room.
I heard last year Eric was a transfer trainer as well as a leader.

Well in all honestly,I would not trust Peter and ZEKE to watch us.I suppose they have to have one serious person in each don't they?

"you start with the punching bags,go"Eric says.

I look at my knuckles and see they are red from yesterday.
I laugh to myself thinking about yesterday.
Eric was so different,until he kicked into leader mode again.

You know if Eric didn't push everyone out he could have allot of friends.
But he just has to ruin the chance for himself.

I throw a punch at the bag and it sways a little.
A few minutes in I notice the bag swinging and I can feel the presence of someone behind me.
I know its not Zeke because he is helping my twin.
It must be Eric.

Ugh.
He had to stop behind me didn't he.
He gets a little to close for my liking and I can feel his breath on my neck.
Then he's gone.
My neck goes cold again.I keep punching and I kinda zone out until I hear Eric call us over.
He tells us that fights will be tomorrow and then excuses us for dinner.

We are just leaving when Zeke calls me back.The place is empty now,everyone gone to dinner.

"I can ask Peter to swap with Eric if he makes you uncomfortable.You know he got kinda close."

"what are you talking about?Wait,he was watching me?"I say as if I didn't know what he was talking about.

"Just let me know if you do,Okay?" Zeke says cautiously

"Eric doesn't scare me"I say plainly.

"Well that's a first"Zeke says and excuses me for dinner.


Eric's PoV;

I let the initiates to the training room and told them to start punching.

Zeke and I observe them and Zeke offers some pointers and I don't.

I am walking around and the Pedrad girl catches my eye.
She has the bag swaying.Not even many of the boys have the bag swaying let alone the girls.

I see her brother is too busy with her twin to notice what anyone else was doing so I just couldn't help getting a closer look.

I walked up behind her and stood there.She wasn't intimidated.

I moved up right behind her so I was only inches away from her neck and she still didn't flinch.

I want a reason to hate her so bad,but I can't find one.I eventually walk away and stand bag for a while.
I check my watch and see it is 5:55pm so I excuse them for dinner.
As I walk out I notice Zeke kept Rosanna back,but I keep walking.
I'm guessing if he didn't want privacy he would have told her today during training.

I sit at usual table-the leader table-and eat my fries.I notice that about 10 minutes later Rosanna walks in and over to her table.

She gets a slice of dauntless cake as well as a sandwich.
I shove another frie into my mouth and tune out of the leaders conversation.

After dinner I go back to my apartment and throw on a pair of sweatpants so I can go for a run.

I unlock the door again and start making my way to the training room.
