*the picture is the dress Carter wears*

Boys are so weird I swear. I walk out the room and head for the pit. Dress. Dress. Dress. I walk to the dress shop and I look around. A lady then approaches me,

"Anything I can help you with?" She asks

"Um yeah I need a dress." I say looking at a dress

"What's the occasion?" She asks

"A leadership ball." I say looking at her. Her eyes widen.

"Hm. Aren't you an initiate?"

"Yes. Yes I am."

"I'm sorry for being nosy but what's an initiate doing at a leadership ball?" I pull her to the corner of the room.

"You can't tell a soul," I say and she nods. "I'm being recruited for leadership and they're taking me to the ball to talk to some important figures."

"Damn. Do you know how many girls would kill for your position?" She says

"What do you mean?"

"Andrew, Harry, Thomas, And Eric. Four tall, strong, sexy, guys with power and authority, you get to work with them, doesn't it sound amazing?!" She says

"Not really. Ever since I met them my life's been a mess." I say.

"Well," she says picking out a simple black dress, "count your angels. So far I can name four of them." She says smiling and handing me a dress. "It's a simple form fitting dress, not too sexy, not too formal."

"Thank you it's beautiful! How many points is it?" I ask looking at the dress

"Free, go have fun at that ball." She says back.

"Really? What's your name? I'm Carter Matthews." I say holding my hand out for a handshake

"You're Carter Matthews?! The Carter Matthews? It's an honor," she says shaking my hand "I'm Sarah Johnson"

"Why is it such an honor? I'm just an initiate." I say confused

"Oh my god the list goes on! Daughter of Jeanine Matthews, Erudite Queen, soon to be dauntless queen, first jumper, first ranking initiate, complete badass, and the leaders talk about you nonstop. Including James, which is a big deal because he hates everybody."

"Wow.. I didn't know I was that known.." I say looking at the clock it's 6, "listen I need to go but I'd really love to hangout sometime," I say smiling

"I'm always here so just pop by whenever dear," she says smiling back.

"Thanks sarah! " I say walking out of the store.

I walk out of the store and leave the pit. I walk through the corridors swinging my bag slightly. Then suddenly there's a hand over my mouth and I'm pulled into a dark room. Oh my god this is happening. Suddenly a pair of lips meet mine. It's a rough kiss, rough with passion. I melt into it and kiss back not caring about where I am or even who this is. My hand searches around for a light switch and I turn it on.

"Eric?!" I say wiping the kiss off my lips, "what? Why?! I'm not Liz eric you can't just do that!"

"I bet it would be different if I was Andrew! Or thomas! Or harry! Or any other fucking guy at dauntless! I didn't mean to kiss Liz she kissed me and I kinda lost it! And I'm about to murder her because because of that incident it ruined my chances of going to the ball with you! Or even dancing with you! I like you Carter, you're the most beautiful, most badass dauntless chic out there, but I can't really do anything about that because I'm the bad guy in a world of hot leaders that have the hots for you!" I kiss his lips for a second
