A Hard Life

A Hard Life: Ch. 17

I walk over to the table where Natalie, Jasmin, and a girl with curly blonde hair sit. Who is that?

"Hey guys."

"Why'd you walk in with Kane?" Jasmin immediately asks when I sit next to her.

"He was helping me with my injuries, nothing more."

"Sure he was," Natalie says wiggling her eyebrows at me.

I roll my eyes and look at the girl. "Who's this?"

"Oh, this Elizabeth. Dauntless born initiate," Natalie answers."

"Nice to met the first jumper. Hello Kenzie," she smiles at me. "I was just gonna ask if you guys wanted to come with me and a few others to go zip lining?"

The thought apparently worries Jasmin but I can see a hint of excitement in her expression.

"Come on guys, let's do it!"

"Sure. Sounds fun!"

"Why not? When do we go?"

"Tonight at 7. Meet me in The Pit with a few other Dauntless born," Elizabeth says.

We all eat together and it's nice to make another friend. At this point, I'm not sure who I can trust. I trust these three, Kane, and Sachi. My Divergent secret really bothers me, and I wanna tell someone else. I got to tell them, I just got to!

"Guys can I talk to you out there so no one can hear us?" I nod my head towards the hall.

"Sure Kenzie." We all throw our food away and walk outside.

"Promise not to tell anyone, alright?"

"We promise," they say in unison.

"I'm Divergent..."

After a few seconds Natalie and Elizabeth say, "So am I!" They both gasp and look at each other, then me.

"What's Divergent? I'm not one cause I obviously don't know." We explain to Jasmin what Divergent means and we leave her with her mouth hanging open. "Oh..."

"This is our secret, no one else must know," Elizabeth says. We all nod and then leave to finish training. I can't wait to go zip lining!
