Claustrophobia

All of the Dauntless initiates and their leaders were going on a trip. They were going to the top of the Hub to show the initiates the borders that they were to protect.

The transfers and Dauntless-born alike were going to see it, along with Eric, Four, and Lauren.

As soon as they arrived in the lobby, Eric called out, "All right, everyone into the elevator!"

Four gave him a strange look, "Elevator? Why are we going in the elevator?"

"Because I said so, Four." Eric gave him a stern look.

"We should take the stairs." Four argued.

"Well I'm the leader here, and I say we take the elevator."

"Stairs are more Dauntless-like." Four stated.

"Are you scared of the elevator or something?" Eric sneered.

"Are you scared of stairs?" Four countered.

"Just get in the elevator."

All of the initiates were already in the elevator and waiting for him to get in. Four walked in reluctantly and turned to face the door.

In the back, Tris excitedly whispered to Christina, "I've never been in an elevator before!"

Christina gave here a strange look, "Why not?"

"To let the other people ride instead." She was bouncing with excitement.

Back at the front, the doors were closing. Four's heart rate picked up, he was panicking. He looked around and could feel the walls squishing in, he started breathing heavier and ran a nervous hand through his hair.

Eric gave him a strange look before shaking his head and looking back towards the front. Four was still panicking, his airways felt like they were closing up and he was having trouble breathing. Sweat dripped down from his forehead.

Eric looked at him again, "Are you good? 'Cause I feel like you're acting weird."

Four just shook his head and leaned against the elevator wall, still struggling to breathe.

The elevator doors finally opened and Four fell out, clinging to the nearest wall, finally able to breathe. He dragged his hands over his face and took in a shaky breath.

"So, the great Four is claustrophobic, huh?" Eric said.

The initiates all looked at Four, they had never seen him like this.

"Four fears and one is confinement? I wonder what the other three are." Eric mused.

"We're taking the stairs down, right?" Four asked, still out of breath.

"No, actually, I was planning on zip lining." Eric told him.

"Haha, no."

"I was being serious." Eric said.

Four looked at his face and saw that he was actually serious. "Well, (your choice of words here)."
