Ever had a plan all mapped out in your mind? It is detailed and planned so carefully that it unfolds like a movie in your mind. Let me just say that little movie in my mind was going way of the rails right about now. Didn't count on Eric being a part of training, or not hating me, or taking me up to his apartment and kissing me senseless, or getting into a shouting match with for all of Daunteless to hear.......twice.

So when he followed me to my dorm, yelled out in front of God and everybody that I better not walk around naked I was still pretty pissed. Beyond pissed actually. Saw red was more like it. And just like my gut reaction had been with mother dearest, I balled up my first and punched him the stomach and followed it with a punch to the jaw. I have say I am impressed he can take a punch. If I wasn't so hacked off at him I might have been turned on. As it was I was preparing for the fight to be on. Amid all the gasps of everyone in the dorm was his growling "Fucking hell Jaden! You are driving me crazy! You have only been here  less then a day and you already driving up the wall. Do you know how annoying that is. I don't feel shit Jaden. I don't feel guilty for kissing who ever the fuck I want or yelling and being a Dick. So why the fuck is it you are making me feel like I am ten damn years old again and am along for whatever fucked up ride you have planned again? And you still haven't answered any of my other questions!" And with that he turns punches the door, breathes in and turns back to me. "Well?"

"Well what?"
"Jaden answer the fucking questions. Now goddamn it!"
I look at him like he has grown two heads. "Umm,how about.....yeah no!"

I push past him and storm out of the door with him close on my heels only to be picked up thrown over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes. I could get out of his grasp....I know this. But doing so would result in us hitting the terribly hard jagged ground and I would rather not kill us. So resort to screaming obscenities at him the entire way as will work until we get to wherever he is taking me. We get to see a familiar hallway and I freak out. Because he's taking me back to his apartment.....The same apartment I had run away from containing his girlfriend. When he finally gets in the door and tosses me on the couch he yells at me to stay the fuck there and grabs an ice pack for his hand. Secretly I hope it's broken.

"Eric, I am not staying here. Do you know how fucked up that was you brought me here again. You have a girlfriend Eric!"

"She's not my girlfriend Jaden, had you let me get word in edge wise you would have known that I told her about you and it's over."

"Why did you do that for?"

If I wasn't so utterly pissed at the moment, his face would have been priceless. His eyes were wide, brow furrowed, mouth open in disbelief......funny really.

"Well I thought it might be a good idea seeing as how I don't plan on not kissing you ever again....to I don't know not be a dick for once. Just a fucking idea but hey I am just a dumb Dauntless and not the fucking genius of Erudite!"

"Eric, you can't kiss me whenever you want, we can't be seen kissing because I am an initiate."

Whatever he was about to say is interrupted by the figure standing in the open doorway. "Actually, you might not even be that Jaden." Max's voice boomed into the room.

We both jumped at the sound and turned to look at the senior leader of the faction as he walked in and then was followed by his wife Zaria the other senior leader.

"Sir, ummm sorry...." Max cut me off as he walked up to be.

"Jaden what have I told you about the Sir crap?" He walked over to me and pulled me into a hug briefly then moved to the side for Daria to do the same.

In charge now, Max told us to take a seat. Eric and I sat on the small couch and he and Daria took the other one.

"Jaden, I know you wanted to do initiation with the others," Daria began "but there were always going to be issues sweetie."
