I step out of the room first into the living room before the others are ready. Noah was sitting in the living room but fstood up when he saw me. He was owearing a black polo shirt and dark blue jeans.
"You look nice." He smiles and leans down while pulling up my hand and kissing it. I laugh at this but a smile formed on my lips anyway.
"I could say the same myself." I take a seat beside of where Noah had just sat and he sits beside of me. "But I'm not going to."
"That hurt." Noah clutches his heart.
"Oh shut up." I tease and slap his arm playfully. "Peter said we'd be starting the main 'project' soon. I thought this would be something good for all of us but so much has happened." I breathe out.
"Everything happens for a reason." Noah says.
"You think?"
"That's what I like to believe." He looks at me dead in the eye but I turn my head.
"They always warned me that life wouldn't always be as easy as when your a kid, you know? But you never thought it'd be this hard." I say.
"We are different though. Bad things seem to happen to us but we will just have to wait and see." Noah smiles.
"Come on people lets get going!" Jake screams through the house.
"Come on." Noah stands and holds out a hand for me.
I take his hand silently and meet everyone at the door. I hadn't worn a dress since I've been in dauntless and I felt completely scared. You could see my scar from where my leg had been sewed back on but it looked- for the most part- healed. It was right above my knee so my dress barely covered it.
"You okay?" Noah whispers as we walk out the door. I guess he noticed my discomfort.
"Honestly no. But-" I start for reassurance but there isn't any to give.
"but?" Noah says in a hushed voice back.
"Nothing. It's okay." I say with a weak smile.
"You just said you weren't." Noah looks confused.
"I said it's okay. Not I'm okay." I reply. Noah looks at me worriedly but ends up just squeezing the hand of mine that I'm holding.
"Okay." He whispers.
"And we are here Tray Ting! They say it's the best Chinese restaurant here." Jake says. (Shoutout to Themysticalbook with your swaggy restaurant😜)
"Nice." Bianca shrugs. We go into a huge room with booths lining the walls and large tables. Small groups of people sit in the booths and groups of what look like old people parties gather around the tables in the middle and socialize.
"Do you have a reservation?" A dark haired women asks us in a sweet voice.
"Hall." Jake answers.
"Hall? That's our last name? So girly." Bianca snorts.
"I have six brothers." Jake says nonchalantly.
"So your all cursed." Bianca snorts.
"Sure." Jake rolls his eyes and follows the women to a round booth in the back.
"I'm Tina I will be your server today." Tina smiles and hands out the menus. "What to drink?" She asks.
"Water." Jake says from where he sits on the edge. Then Amaryllis, Jackson, Noah, me, and Bianca all order water too. How ordinary.
"Okay I'll be right back." Tina says and walks off.
"So..." Jake says with his eyes flickering back and forth between us all.
"So.... Somebody talk or say something interesting." Jackson finishes for him.
"I met my aunt." Noah shrugs.
"Sage?" Amaryllis says as all eyes turn to her. "She was my friend as a kid. Doesn't remind me of you at all, Noah."
"I didn't talk to her much." Noah shrugs. "To erudite to stay around to long."
"I know." Amaryllis chuckles. "Imagining being around people like her for the first sixteen years of your life."
"I was stuck with the happy people." Jackson grimaces.
"Hailey." Amaryllis coughs with a sly smirk attached to her lips. Jackson glares sideways at her.
"I wonder if kids grow up here." I think aloud.
"It seems like a strange place to live in. Maybe that's what the little buildings around this large one are for." Amaryllis shrugs.
"Smart." Jackson say thoughtfully.
"Have you found anything yet?" Tina comes over and asks us.
"Yes ma'am" I say and hand her my menu.
"I would like a chicken lo mien." Jake says as he looks at the menu.
"Sweet and sour chicken." Amaryllis says as though she's eaten here before.
"I'll take the same thing." Jackson points at Amaryllis.
"That thing." Noah points at something on the menu and Tina repeats it but I don't even know how I'm supposed to say that after hearing her.
"General tso chicken." I say and Tina nods.
"Chicken dumplings." Bianca states and hands in her menu along with everybody else who hadn't already.
The food comes within minutes and we are all eating gratefully.
