Chapter 44

A/N: Lemon in this chapter!

We walk into the cafeteria and for once this place looks like a rainbow exploded in here. So many colors and costumes and everyone seems to enjoy this evening. We walk past several Dauntless members and all of them compliment me on my outfit, some even whistle and Tobias gives them a dirty look. We manage to get to our table where all our friends, including Caleb and Cara are currently engaged in a conversation.

"Hi guys," Tobias says and they all look at him.

"God damn, man," Zeke says, his mouth hanging open. "If Tris sees you with this hot chick she will break you into a million pieces," he says and I blush crimson.

"Wow, Tris, you look amazing," Marlene says to me.

"Thank you, Marlene. I love your outfit. Fairy?"

"Yes," she answers and I look around the table to inspect the other costumes. Shauna wears a ninja outfit, Lynn dressed up like a zombie, Will is dressed like a mummy (figures), Caleb is dressed like a knight in shining armor and Uriah, I think, is dressed up as a scientist.

"Uri, are you supposed to be Erudite?" I ask chuckling.

"Why indeed that was the purpose of my disguise," he answers and we laugh at his response.

"What are you supposed to be?" Tobias asks Zeke raising an eyebrow and I have to admit I was wondering too.

"He's a caveman," Will says.

"So, basically his usual self but with less clothes," Shauna adds and we laugh.

"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Zeke asks offended.

"It means, shut up and bring me my food," Shauna yells at him over the noise the crowd of Dauntless makes. Zeke gets up and walks to get some food for her.

"You want something to eat?" Tobias asks me. I nod. He gets up and stands in line to get us some food. It doesn't take him long and he returns together with Zeke and places a plate in front of me. It looks delicious. He brought us each a steak with fried potatoes, some vegetables and each a glass of sparkling cider. Even though we both drink alcohol we find it is more exciting to be sober. Also, if I am pregnant I don't want to hurt my baby.

For the next hour or so we eat and drink and talk to our friends about the silliest stories each of us can come up with. After eating the delicious Dauntless cake, Uriah ate three slices by the way, we go to the Pit where the Haunted House is set up. We walk inside and I grab Tobias's hand in mine and we start the haunted adventure. The girls and the workers who build this did a terrific job. It's both fun and scary, but more importantly very exciting. Behind every corner lurks a monster, of course it's a disguised Dauntless, but still. We encounter mummies, vampires, zombies, swamp monster and even the Meadow Killer makes an appearance. There's even a "room" that looks like any other preteen room and a calendar that says "No vacation. Ever". Some of the braver Dauntless preteens entered the Haunted House and obviously got the shock of their lives when they read that. I have to chuckle. This must be very scary for some. When we finally exit the Haunted House we walk down the path to the night club. The corridors in the Pit were all decorated last night after everyone went to sleep to surprise the faction in the morning. As we approach the club I can hear loud music and I suddenly feel butterflies in my stomach. I squeeze Tobias's hand and he looks down at me with a questioning look on his face. I stand on my tip toes and whisper "I'm nervous".

"Why?" he asks.

"It's so new and exciting. I don't know. I just am," I say. He smiles and pulls me close to him.
