Divergent Powers High

Chapter 3: Why is Everybody So Annoying

"Okay, obviously, you have to sit with us." Christina say, dragging me to the cafeteria. 

"What if I wanted to sit in the corner like a loner?" I ask sarcastically. 

"Then we would sit with you." She responds. 

I laugh, letting her pull me to their table. Of course, they are right in the middle of the cafeteria. I set down my jacket on my chair, and go to the lunch line. I grab a salad with chicken on it, some grapes, and two slices of some super-fudgy looking chocolate cake. 

I pay, and head back to our table. Everybody is already talking, so I just start eating my salad. 

"So, Six, are you going to the Summer Soiree?" Christina asks, pulling my attention away from food. 

I roll my eyes, "Some school dance? I don't think so." 

She laughs, "Oh, the dance is just the beginning. After every school event the Pedrad's have a raging party, with practically the whole entire school invited." 

I shrug, "I guess that would be more fun. When is it?" 

"Marlene and I are always the main party planners, we were thinking next Friday, as a school kick off of sorts." She says, "And I am taking you shopping next week for it." 

I laugh, "Nice try, I'll wear some jeans and a nice shirt." 

She gasps, "Six, you can't do that! It is a formal dance!" 

I roll my eyes again, "Whatever, you can dress me up but I won't say I like it." 

She squeals, bursting my eardrum again. 

I just ignore her mindless babbling, and eat my grapes. Finally, I get to eat some of this delicious looking cake. I pull it to me, mouth watering. As my fork cuts a piece, I notice literally all eyes are on me. Not only are the people at this table staring, but it seems like the whole section of the cafeteria. 

"What?" I ask, looking around awkwardly. 

"You are about to eat your first piece of Dauntless cake." Zeke says, staring intently. 

I shrug, "It's just cake. How good could it-"

The second it touches my mouth, I moan. Damn, that was weird. The flavor is so incredibly rich, and it feel like it is heaven on my tongue. 

A few people cheer, the other just smile approvingly. 

"What is this shit made of, liquid hopes and dream?" I ask sarcastically. 

Uriah laughs, "No, Six. Nobody knows what it is made of. However, eating that cake means you officially initiated into Divergent High!" 

--------------------------

I get back onto my motorcycle, saying my goodbyes to everyone. Before I can get my helmet on, somebody walks over. I recognize him as Four, that guy from first period. 

"Hey, what's up?" I ask, grinning. 

"Just...wanted to say hi, I guess. It's really cool seeing somebody with more than 2 powers as well. You stole my crown, Six." He says, chuckling a little at the end. 

I smile, "Well I don't feel bad, how was it being the king of the school before me?" I ask. 

"Oh, I wasn't. Usually I hang out with a specific group, but they turned into total jerks this year, so I'm alone." He looks down, obviously a little irritated. 

"Well, people are assholes, what can I say." I sigh, giving him a tiny smirk. 

He laughs, "That's for sure. Well, see you around Six."
