TRIS POV-

I walk into the pit where tons of chairs are set around a large stage. A list of jobs are posted on a bulletin board. A list of ranks are listed next to the jobs, first place, or me, gets to go first.

I notice small pieces of paper on the other side of the jobs which has an apartment number listed on it. Since I can go first, I'll choose an apartment closest to Tobias's.

I take my seat up front with all the other initiates. Everyone takes their seat as we watch Eric and Tobias walk on stage.

"We will start right away with Tris choosing her job and apartment complex." Tobias announces in the microphone.

I smile as I walk up next to him and I say loud enough for everyone to hear, "I choose to work at the tattoo shop and be in apartment number 47." That apartment is right across the hall from Tobias's. I can see him smirk as he hands me the key.

"You sure you don't want to be a leader?" Eric questions. "No, I'm good." I say.

"Alright, next up-" Eric continues with all the other new Dauntless members:

Uriah-Dauntless Leader

Marlene-Nurse

Christina-Beauty Shop Worker

Will-Control Room

Lynn-Fence Worker

Peter-(surprisingly) Fence Worker

And the rest I don't pay attention to, all I do is stare into Tobias's eyes debating whether or not I should tell him I love him.

After the ceremony, I walk up to Tobias, "hey, can we go to your apartment?" I ask.

"Sure." He says, looking at me with question.

He leads his way to his apartment, not saying anything the rest of the way.
