Chapter 7-
Tris POV
I wake up in an unfamiliar bed. Tobias is next to me, still fast asleep with one arm hanging out of the bed. Tobias. Right, we're in Dauntless. I slip out of bed as quietly as possible and take the chance to have a shower. I grab my bag that I still haven't unpacked and lock the bathroom door. I get into the shower and let the hot water run down my body. I wash my hair, condition it, and then get out. I dry myself, and start dressing. I put on an old black bra, but then I notice something strange. It is too tight on me; I've grown. My form has filled out, finally. I look in the full-length mirror, and see that I have curves that weren't there before. Even my face has balanced out. I am not beautiful, but when I outline my eyes as Christina taught me, I might even be considered pretty. I stare in the mirror. I still haven't gotten used to mirrors, my Abnegation instinct is still there. But I've always found reflections intriguing, so I don't look away.
The initiates are coming next week. I need to get fit and strong again before they come, so I brush my teeth. Today I will go shopping with Christina, as I am down to my last outfit, which is an extremely tight black tank top and black jeans that are also stretched tight across my skin. I throw a jacket on top and zip it up, because a considerable amount of cleavage is showing and I want to buy new clothes. I leave the bathroom, and see that Tobias is awake and dressed. He's me a hug and says "I never thought you would get out of that bathroom!"
"Well I'm going down to breakfast, meet you there?"
"Yep," he replies and winks. "Save me a seat!"
Breakfast is great, and soon Christina is dragging me to the main shopping area of Dauntless. I look around the crowds reflexively for Caleb. That's another reason I wanted to come back. I know that Caleb moved back to the city, to teach younger students in the school. Caleb is mad at me, for doing what I did, but I know that as soon as he hears that we are in Dauntless he will come and visit. No, he is not there. After the whole morning and afternoon of shopping, not just for clothes but also for house decorations, I come back with a good load. Several shirts and tank tops, all black. Pants, leggings, jeans, skirts, jackets, and of course black lace-up combat boots. As soon as Christina finds out that I need new bras, she drags me to the lingerie store. She makes me buy several push-ups but I also get plain ones for good measure. More underwear and socks. Perfume, eyeliner, mascara, eyeshadow, blush, brushes... A huge makeup case that (again) Chris made me get. Toiletries.
Finally, Christina eyes me, and then drags me to the pharmacy. I groan, because I know that she has a sneaky look in her eye and I can guess what she has in mind. "Chris, are you serious? Now?"
"Always be prepared, Tris. You don't want to be getting pregnant anytime soon, I'm guessing." So we both leave with a container of small white pills. Right after, we quickly visit Uri to make sure that he's ok in the hospital. He just groans and complains that he's bored.
By the time we walk back to our respective apartments, we're both practically drowning underneath all the shopping bags. Dauntless gave us extra shopping points to spend to get us started off, for furnishing our house and all, but I decided I would wait for Tobias before deciding to buy anything big like a couch. I nearly collapse on my floor, and begin to fill my closet with clothes.
When Tobias comes back, his eyes widen at my haul. "Holy crap... "
"Just be glad that I stopped Christina from buying your closet as well. No, I'm serious, she wanted to!" I protest when he chuckles.
"Anyways, I spent the day with Zeke. Apparently Uriah's getting released tomorrow morning, so, in Zeke fashion, there is a game of Dauntless or Candor at his house tomorrow evening to celebrate his return!"
I groan. These parties aren't really my thing, but then again, we're Dauntless so I should get used to them. "Fine," I say. Tobias smiles, and leans down to kiss me.
"I was going to say wear extra layers, but I mean, if you don't that's fine with me," he whispers into my ear. I shove him.
"You wish. But don't forget that everyone else there will have to see the same things that you do..." He frowns at this, but I smile against his neck and he kisses me again. The kiss deepens, but I gently push him off.
"Come on, we need to go see Uriah. He wants to know about initiation."
The rest of that evening is spent around Uri's hospital bed. We are discussing initiation procedures, because he and Christina had been assigned to train the Dauntless born.
"So for the Divergent," he says "the government says that they are free to do whatever they like because they don't pose any harm. Right? But they still have an unfair advantage during initiation stage two. "
"Correct," Tobias answers. "But the Bureau has the fear serum that will affect Divergents as well. So we can just use that."
"Perfect!" Christina shouts. "I can't wait to beat up these initiates. Uri, I'm so pumped!" We all laugh as Christina tries to do a 'scary face' for us.
Tobias and I head back to our room after dinner. Once we get there, I shower quickly again and slip on an old oversized t-shirt of Tobias's. I sit on the bed and he kisses me from behind. He starts at the back of my neck, but then travels across my jawline to my lips. He tastes like the minty toothpaste in our bathroom. Soon his shirt is off and we are fully making out. My hands wrap around his neck as he grabs my waist, pulling me into him. Like earlier, the kiss deepens and becomes more desperate until the phone rings. Tobias rolls his eyes and mutters "great timing". I roll off of him (I didn't even notice that we were lying down) and answer.
"OMIGOSH TRIS WE NEED TO GO DRESS SHOPPING WE FORGOT TO BUY DRESSES OMIGOODNESS HOW COULD I FORGET!"
"Calm down Christina, we'll be able to another time. AND you kindofinterruptedmeandfour..."
"Ohhhhhhhhh" she replies slyly. "I didn't know you were busy. Well sorry, and have fun. I am winking to you right now!" She hangs up before I even say bye.
"Now, where were we," I say walking back to Tobias, but he's already pulling his shirt back on.
"Another time Tris," he says kissing me goodnight. I fall asleep without problem.
A/N: Don't worry guys I haven't forgotten about Caleb! He's making an appearance next chapter ;) so come back for more! Thank you so much to those who reviewed. Every comment brightens my day, even if it is criticism, because it means that you actually take time to read and give me your thoughts so I can improve. However, I didn't get any reviews on my last chapter, so I don't know if anybody is enjoying this (?) so please leave your thoughts, I might even give you a shoutout! So on that note, review, review, review! Next chapter coming soon! Any ideas for the truth or dare?
