Ro's PoV;
I wake up not to the banging of metal,but I am shaken awake.

"Ro,wake up" Eric says and I open my eyes.
"Good Morning" he says with a smile.
"Morning captain cuteness" I say
"Ro seriously" he says
"Fine"I say as I get up.

Eric had gone down to the dorm already and grabbed me some clothes.I walk into the bathroom and see my jeans and galaxy shoes
Stacked neatly.

Beside them is two bags.One labelled mine,and one labelled yours.
I open the one that's labelled yours and inside is a top that says 'queen' on it.

Eric comes in after and opens the bag for him.
It is a matching Tshirt that says 'king'

"Oh my god!" I say.
"Yep" Eric says.
I hug him and say
"Are you trying to buy my love?"
"Mabye just a little" he says and I smile.
"It's working" I say as I place a kiss on his
Cheek.

We get. Hanged into our new outfits and I decide to do my mascara again.
I do so and I also straighten my hair.
Eric woke me up early I'm pretty sure so I had time.

We begin to eat and Eric checks the time.
"Shit! We're late! Come on" he says as he grabs his banana and so do I.
We run down the corridor and Eric falls to his knees laughing.
"Eric no time for this,were late!" I yell which just makes him laugh harder.

"We're not late.." He says and I push him over.
"you asshole" I say and he just pouts.
"I'm sorry"he says pulling at my hands so I fall ontop of him.
"I love you"he says
"You too captain cuteness" I say and I snuggle into his shoulder as he kisses my forehead.

I start laughing and Eric raises his eyebrow.
"We are lying on the floor in the hallway.get up our we will be late" I say and I get up off the floor.

Eric gets up after me and we walk hand in hand to the pit.

He kisses my head before he walks over to Zeke.
This is the first time of training where everyone knows that Eric is my boyfriend.

Eric and Zeke go up the front of the line leading to the place we will be doing stage three.
I go at the back of the line with Lynn.Uri and Marlene are in the middle along with Four and Tris.

I walk along and then a boy called Josh,Who is an erudite born,and looks straight ahead.

"You know Ro,I honestly thought you would do better." He states and I say,still looking ahead.

"What do you mean josh?"
"I mean that Eric is a bad dude,he has a past" I stop moving at this.

"And we all don't?" I say
"Not like him" I just keep walking.
"Wait,is he like,helping your score,in rankings."

"No,she is getting that score herself" a voice says behind us.
I look up to the top of the line to see Zeke walking alone and then I look behind to see Eric.

I smile.
"Here in dauntless we don't focus on the past,or the future.We focus on the now" Eric states and looks at Josh.

"Yes sir,sorry sir" he says and Eric starts to make his way up to the top again.

Josh whispers in my ear.
"You cheater"
"I heard that" Eric says, josh goes red and goes back to his friends.

Uriah walks back to me and says
"You ok?"
"Yep" I say.
He nods and goes back to Mar.

We stop outside of a door and there is two rows of seats.

"This room here is called the fear landscape room.In here you will be mixing stage 1 and stage 2 skills together.You will know that you are in a sim and will have to get out as fast as you can." Eric explains,gesturing to the door beside us.
