I'm standing at the bottom of the net waiting for the first jumper.

"I bet it'll be a dauntless born" Lauren says

"I'm thinking a transfer" I say

"You wanna bet?" she asks

"Nah. I know I'm going to win so it wouldn't be fair" I say

"Fine" she says

All the sudden I look up and see. Grey?

Blond hair and grey clothing.

I strech my arm up onto the net and a small soft hand grabs it.

I pull her down onto the platform.

I look down at her and take her all in.

She's about 5'2. She's skinny like a twig. Golden blond hair pulled into a bun. Pink lips. And the most beautiful blue-grey eyes I've ever seen.

"What's your name?" I ask still a bit shocked

She takes a moment. Thinking.

"Tris" she says

That voice is like a symphony.

"First jumper- Tris!" I yell

Everyone cheers and claps.

She smiles at me. I think my heart just melted inside of my chest.

"You can go stand over there" I say

She nods and walks over to where I pointed.

Wow.

Tris POV•

"Like the number?" Christina asks

He rolls his eyes and clears his throat.

"To get into Dauntless you have to jump off this roof into a hole" He says

"Is there water at the bottom or something?" An Erudite boy asks

Four shrugs.

"So who's going first?" He asks

"Me" I say

Wait what? Did I just say that? Too late now.

"All right stiff" Four says

I hop onto the ledge and pull off my jacket.

I glare at Peter and throw my jacket at him.

I look down and close my eyes.

"Today initiate" Four says

I don't think I just jump. I'm free falling and then I hit something. I bounce up and down twice. A net?

I laugh a little and then look over at the side to see a masculine hand holding out to me.

I grab it and let it pull me off the net.

I land onto a platform and then I look up.

I see a young very hot guy staring at me.

He has blondish brown hair and ice blue eyes. He has two piercings above his left eyebrow. He's about 6'1 and very muscular.

"What's your name?" He asks

Oh my gosh that voice. It's a very deep and masculine voice. It's so sexy.

I think for a moment. I'm Dauntless now. I'm not Beatrice.

"Tris" I say

Yeah that's a good name.

"First jumper- Tris!" He yells

The crowd cheers for me and I smile at him.

"You can go stand over there" He says pointing to a empty spot

I see something in his eyes. Like there trying to tell me something. But what?

I nod and walk over there.

Jump after jump. Scream after scream.

I stare at the guy who pulled me off the net. He helps an Erudite girl off the net and I get a bit jealous.

But what can I do? He's not mine.
