If she chose Erudite

Chapter 5

Today I'm woken up by the sun shining throught the window next to my bed, instead of Caleb shaking my shoulders. To be honest, this is  way better.

I look around me and I see that everyone else is still asleep. I look at the clock and see it's 7:45 AM, which means that we have to be at the library in 15 minutes!

I realize I have to hurry again and jump out of my bed. I change into black jeans and a dark blue shirt.

"Everyone, wake up!" I say out loud, but I don't know if anyone's waken by it. I hurry to the cafetaria to get me and Jane some breakfast. I hear hushing voices behind me and some footsteps, but I just ignore them.

I reach the cafetaria and grab for me and Jane each a muffin. I walk back to the dormitory and see that almost no one is ready yet so I sit down on my bed and throw one of the muffins at Jane, who's still sleeping.

It hits her head and she sits up immediately, looking around for the object that hit her. She sees the muffin and frowns, but then she looks up and sees me grin.

"Ten minutes, library" I warn and she jumps out of bed and starts changing. Once she's done she pulls me with her and we rush to the library, which whe reach 5 minutes early.

"Good timing, Beatrice"  that familiar voice says behind me.

I turn around and give her a fake smile. "I didn't want to be late again"

Jeanine nods approvingly and starts talking again. "So, what are you going to do today?"

I don't know if it's smart to tell everything we're going to do today, but I give her a part of the truth. If I lie, she will discover it eventually and I can't effort more attention on me. I think about what Cara said yesterday and shiver.

"We're going to the factionless section of the city," I say quickly and look at Jane for help.

"Yeah, that's true. We want to confirm some things we found in the Erudite files," Jane adds and turns the attention on her.

Having a former Candor as friend has its benefits; they notice it when you need help, because they're really good at reading people's expressions.

Jeanine nods again and is about to speak again, but is interrupted by the other initiates. She gestures us to start working on the computers.

I walk to one in the back of the room and drag Jane with me. We talk the plan through one last time and read the articles we found yesterday to make sure what things we have to confirm.

When I turn around 15 minutes later, I see Caleb and the Amity transfer -I thought he was called Rick- come in, too late. I see Jeanine looking at them, but she doesn't say anything.

I shake my head and look back at my computerscreen, trying to understand what I'm reading but I can't keep my mind on it.

"I think we should get going now," I say, looking up at Jane.

Jane is a few inches taller than me, not very long either, but she's pretty. Even though I'm not wearing the boring grey Abnegation robes anymore, I'm still not pretty. I'm just a plain, boring girl.

She smiles at me and nods. "Come on, let's get some of our clothes and go to the factionless!"

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

We reach the factionless sector after walking for a while. Even though it just has been a few days since I have been here, It looks completely different. Every day I missed the bus, I walked through these streets with poor factionless, but I'm not used to it anymore.
