Tris POV

I walk over to my table, and I sit down. I grab a strawberry off of Uriah's plate, and I take a bite. I look across from me, and I see Anthony staring.

"Like what you see light boy?" I ask him, not even taking a look at him again.

"You know it." He says, as sarcastic as he can, but still being quiet.

"Did you guys hear that tomorrow there is another ceremony, for a bunch of Dauntless and other factions, and we have to dress up." Kaelynne tells us, breaking the tension.

"Great. Just great." I tell her sarcastically.

I can dress intimidating, but I can't dress up nicely. I'm a tomboy with a hint of a girly-girl.

"There is a new rule from Erudite, that for every ceremony, girls have to wear dresses, and guys have to wear the 'dressed up' look from their faction. So like here, the have to wear leather jackets, white shirts, nice jeans, and 'southern type' boots." Percy chimes in.

Percy grabs my arm, pulling me away from the table, and drags me where ever she is going.

"Where are we going?" I ask her.

"Down to 'Dauntless Prodigy' to get dresses. I know that neither of us own dresses."

We walk the short way, and once we step foot in the store, we see a crowed of people standing towards us. We creep through the crowed of people, and to the back of the store, to the small collection of dresses. We grab one of every style, and we go to the dressing rooms. I try the first few on, deciding they're not my style, but the last few are. I decide to show Percy an off white halter top dress, with black music notes covering most of the white.

"So this one or another." I tell her.

"Well you might be confused for a Candor if you wear that." She tells me.

I go back to where the rest of the dresses are, and I grab the black corset top dress, and I try it on.

"What do you think?" I ask Percy.

"Much better choice." She replies back.

"But would my brothers let me wear this?"

"Nope. Not one bit."

We both laugh.

We look back at the dresses again, and I see a black halter top dress, with extra fabric around the skirt, making the dress look thicker. I decide to try it on, and see that my brothers would let me wear this. Percy decides on the same black halter top dress, we buy them, and leave.

I go back up to my apartment, and I hand my dress upside down, just so it wont wrinkle.

"Hey. Do you have an extra dress I can borrow?" Kaelynne asks, while walking in.

"Um maybe." I tell her.

I look into my closet, and see the black corset dress I say earlier, but has the same extra fabric around the skirt, making it thicker also.

"Here."

"Wow. You actually have a dress?"

"Nope. Uriah's. Candor or Dauntless."
