I dig through my drawers in search of something I haven't worn before. I groan in frustration and hear my door open almost immediately.

"Having trouble?" Avary asks.

"Is it that easy to tell?" I ask sitting back against my bed.

"Wear this." She says and throws over a dress that I catch messily with one hand.

     "Thanks." I yell out the door and hear a faint your welcome. I look at the dress and it is a deep blue dress with black lace. The sleeve don't even fold over my shoulders and wrap around my neck. It flows down above my knees. It's pretty basic and cute. 

     I step out into the living room and Amaryllis sits in the couch brushing her hair out.

     "Can you French braid?" I ask.

     "Duh?" She says and I chuckle before sitting down on the floor in front of her. She starts braiding my hair and picking up piece by piece and adding it to the braid until all of the hair was neatly braided down my head.

     "Thanks." I grin and push myself off the ground.

     The doorbell rings and Avary stands up way too quickly to go get it.

    "Uh- I'll get it?" She says more of a question than a statement. We all laugh and I sink into the corner of the couch. Nobody else knows that Noah and I are dating except for Bianca of course. Recently Noah asked me if we were really a thing but I wasn't ready for anybody to know, yet.

     "Hi!" We hear Avary greets them energetically. "Come on in." She walks over toward us and sits on the small sofa on the other side of the living room. Noah, Jake, and Falcon come in and falcon sits beside Avary. I look at Amaryllis and wiggle my eyes brows mouthing 'I told you so'. Avary sends me a death glare and I chuckle lightly. Bianca leans against the wall. We've told her she should sit down but she refuses. Noah comes over to me and sits beside of me on the bigger couch.

"Hey." He whispers.

"Hi." I grin.

"So are you two a thing yet?" Jake interrupts motioning to us.

"What?" I ask taken by surprise.

"We have all been waiting for it." Avary shrugs.

"Huh?" Noah asks.

"I have been waiting since I was three! You all have no right to be exasperated." Bianca snaps playfully.

"Oh." Is all I can say.

"So?" Falcon asks. I send him a death glare.

"They aren't denying it." Amaryllis says innocently.

"Yeah I am!" I accuse.

"No you aren't." Bianca says.

"No I'm not." I mutter defeated.

"So you are!" Avary screams.

Silence. I glance at Noah who sits really uncomfortable and fidgets. He looks at me questioningly and u just shrug.

"I don't really care if they know anymore." I say. I know Noah doesn't care, he only keeps it from them because he knew I didn't want them to know. "Yeah. We are dating. So?"

"So? So, that makes you two dauntless's cutest couple." Avary says.

"Just don't make a big deal out of it." I sigh.
