Don't Go Away - Divergent Eric/ Four x OC

Chapter 6

We made our way back down to the pit...Lu had decided she didn't much feel like eating this morning and was more looking forward to picking an outfit for the evenings festivities.

At least it would help to take up time otherwise spent thinking of Kayleen. We hadn't even actually thought of our own success at ranking quite highly within the group and needed to if we were going to survive whatever stage 2 had to offer.

I led the way down to the store and Lu smiled, beginning to flick through the rails of clothes. She picked out a short bandeau style dress which had black sequins in a chevron pattern across the front. I gave her a thumbs up and she found a pair of black platform heels that matched the sequins prefectly.

"Go try it on!" I giggled. She did and came back out a few minutes later, twirling in the tight fitted dress. It made her look amazing.

"WHIT WOOO"

She laughed and looked over her reflection.

"This is awesome! I actually feel pretty for the first time since getting here!"

"Well you look it! Go get changed and let's go buy some new make up to top it off"

She did so and within minutes she had paid her points and was back at the front of the store. We picked up a few beauty items and headed out of the pit.

"Wanna grab some lunch and chill for a bit before tonight?"

Lu nodded and we put away our purchases before heading to the dining hall.

I grabbed a roll and a bottle of water and headed over to where Elias, Oliver and Rhi were sat, eating.

"Hey you two!" Elias smiled up at Lupei.

We said our hellos and sat down with the others.

"Are you guys coming tonight?" Rhi asked. I hadn't really spoken to her before. She was an Erudite transfer but had always kept herself to herself. She was pretty and petite with softly curled blonde hair.

"We are indeed - we've just been to the Pit to get new outfits for tonight." I said, picking at the food on my plate.

"Ooo I need to go grab something! I can't turn up like this" She pulled at her tee and Lu smiled.

"They have some cool stuff down there"

"Ok I'm going to go! I need at least a couple of hours" she smiled and excused herself politely.

Elias smiled across the table at Lu and I laughed. "You two need to seriously get a room"

"Shut it!" Lu squealed and punched my arm.

I faked pain and Oliver laughed.

"Hey well done you - first place" I said to him.

"Yeah...feels weird though...I never would have ever thought I would rank so high. I haven't ever really been a fighter. I thought for sure Dale or Luke would rank high...those guys are pure evil."

I nodded remembering my beating.

"Yeah - but it's like Four said...they fight messy and have no strategy. How are you feeling after that by the way?" Elias asked, eyeing the cut on my face.

"Ah I'm all good. Bea patched me up pretty good and it doesn't hurt so bad with the pain meds. Which reminds me" I popped a tablet out of the bottle and swigged it down with some water.

"You should see the bruise Four left him with" Lupei said, I realised I hadn't seen Dale since...well since he tried to kill me!

I smirked and my stomach flipped at the thought of Four.
