Divergent (No War)

Chapter Four

All us initiates walk into the cafeteria as a bunch but once we were seen we all scrambled. Christina and I don't really know where to sit but we see a spot by Four, an Erudite transfer, and a Candor transfer.

"We could sit here." I suggest to Christina.

She nods her head and we both take a seat. I can feel someone staring at me so I half turn my head and see Four looking at me. I made slight eye contact with him and he quickly turns his head.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Christina asks.

"Yeah of course." I say as I stare at the hamburger.

"What's wrong, haven't you seen a hamburger before?" Christina jokes.

"Yeah... I just haven't eaten one before." I state.

"Yeah Abnegation only eats plant based stuff with a minimum seasoning." The Erudite boy says.

"What text book did you swallow?" Christina says.

"Nice to meet you too." He laughs. "I'm Will, Erudite."

"Of course." Christina laughs.

"I mean you have to be kind of bold to be friends with a Candor." Will smirks.

"What's that suppose to mean?" Christina says raising her eyebrow.

"You guys say the first thing that comes to your head." Will states.

"Like you're an idiot?" The Candor boy says.

Christina laughs. "Nice Al."

That's when we were interrupted Four.

"I don't want to hear about your old factions." He states. "You're Dauntless now."

"Were you a transfer too? Our Dauntless born?" I ask.

"Really?" Four says.

"Yeah." I smile.

"What makes you think you can talk to me?" He asks.

"I don't know." I say with my head down. "It must be because you're so approachable."

I look up and see him staring directly into my eyes.

"Careful." He states before getting up.

Four walks away and Christina grabs me by my arm.

"You have a death wish." She laughs.

I laugh along with her until one of the Dauntless leaders entered the room. Everyone began to pound their cups until he started to talk.

"Initiates, stand." He states. "You chose to be a part of the warrior faction. The faction that is going to protect this city for the dangers outside of the wall. Do us proud!"

Everyone cheers and the members of Dauntless lift all of us off the ground and into the air. I never want this feeling to end.

I'm awaken to the beating sound. I jerk my eyes open and turn to see Four pounding on one of the drains.

"Meet me in the pit in two minutes." He yells.

I immediately get up and everyone is still rumbling in bed. I tie up my combat boots and jog towards the pit.

As I get there Four looks up at me. He gives me a head tilt. Within another minute everyone is in the pit.

"Today we start training. We will go through two stages, physical and mental. It will be hell. We'll be pushing you to your breaking point." Four explains.
