a dauntless love

chapter 3

Tobias POV:

Today all the initiates get to pick their jobs. I don't really care what they all choose, except for one. This morning I had to wake up early, which I hate, so I could help get everything ready and so I could be on time. I am required to go, because I was there instructor. This year I had trouble with the initiates, one of them got stabbed in the eye with a butter knife, I think his name was Edward. No one knows who stabbed him but Im almost convinced it was that bastard, Peter. And then there was the incident with Tris, I still feel kind of bad, even though I know it wasn't my fault. Peter, Drew and Al tried to kidnap and through Tris in the Chasm; however they were unsuccessful, thank god! Whilst I'mm in my thoughts, I think about Tris and what she might pick for a job. I kind of hope she picks initiates instructor, its would be great to work with her! After she picks her job and gets her apartment key, I'm going to ask her on a date. I'm so nervous! What if she says no! What am I thinking? We went to the bottom of the chasm and kissed! We actually kissed! I still get butterflies when I think about it.

Before I know it, I'm in the middle of the pit, and I'm heading towards where the job list will be set up. Then I see him. Eric, and he's making his way towards me. "what do you want Eric!" I spit. "now, thats no way to talk to the soon-to-be dauntless leader" he remarks, "full of yourself much" I whisper under my breath "what was that?" He asks innocently "nothing" I reply, "And what makes you think you'll be the next dauntless leader?" I say shaking my head a little at the thought "because I've already been appointed"

Tris POV:

I feel cold hands on my shoulder shaking me awake, I look up as my eyes adjust, its Uriah. "Trissy! Wake up! We're going to be late" he shout whispers in my ear. Late? Late for what? Wait... Oh My God! SHIT! I jump out of bed, and run into the bathroom. I take the quickest shower known to man and throw on a black tank top that hugs my figure and some black jeans. I run back out into the dorm rooms and grab my combat boots, tie up my hair into a ponytail and grab Uriahs hand and pull him out the door. "that. Was the fasted I have EVER seen a girl get dressed, actually ANYONE for that matter" Uri remarks as I keep pulling him towards the job choosing. I don't respond, determined to not be late. We sprint down the hallways, taking a right, a left then another right. Just as all the other initiates are sitting down, we race to the two-first seats on the stage, since Uriah and I were the 1st and 2nd ranked we had to sit first in line, which sucks because I hate being the centre of attention. "ha, see! Not late" I whisper in Uri's ear, this puts a smirk on his face, "only because I woke you up" he sinkers, I shove him in the rib cage just as Eric starts the introduction speech about how important it is to make the right choice. "this will be your job for life so make the right choice, because you don't get another" Eric yells, he then continues to talk about how proud the dauntless members are to call you a part of their faction, thats when I stop listening, until I here him call my name "TRIS PRIOR" I stand "you will WALK over to the jobs board behind me" and on cue, the board behind him light up "and you will pick your job, then return to your seat" I do as I'm told, I walk over the huge light-up bored that has all the vacant job options, I see TATTOO ARTIST is green and I tap it, I then see INITIATES INSTRUCTOR is also green, I click that to and return to my seat, there is a chorus of loud whoops and shouts from the crowd, I look at them all, from the front seats, to the back of the hale, and my eyes meet with his deep blue eyes, Tobias', he simply nods but I can tell he's trying to suppress a grin. After a wile I zone out and only come out of it when I hear my friends names, they all chose what they said they would. And before I know it, the ceremony is over and we are walking off stage collecting our apartment keys as we leave. I see Uriah head over to his dauntless born friends, Marline, Sharna, Lynn and his brother Zeke. Then my eyes drift over to an exited Christina running over to me. "WHAT DID YOU GET! WHAT DID YOU GET!" She laughs. I look down at my key, it says 264. "264, what about you?" I say, she squeals and says. "I got 271! We're on the same floor!" I laugh and hug her, she hugs back, we turn to leave, but I run into something. Wait no. not a 'something' a someONE'
