Divergent: Uriah and Marlene

Chapter 16

Marlene's POV

I walk in to the cafeteria. Uriah is busy training the new initiates today and I decide that I'm going to start coming out of my room again more often. Lynn says I can't keep myself locked up all the time. I grab a muffin and go and sit beside Christina and Lynn.
Christina squeals at the sight of me.
"You're alive," she shouts.
"Look who decided to come out of that little apartment," Lynn smiles.
I sit down and start to eat my muffin. I tear off a few pieces with my fingers and eat.

"So..." Christina wiggles her eyebrows.

"Yes?" I say with a mouth full.

"I've been thinking-" Christina starts.

Lynn interrupts her. "Oh great." She groans.

Christina makes a face at Lynn and then smiles back at me. "We should buy you some new clothes or give you a makeover. Since you haven't done anything in awhile it would be fun." Christina clasps her hands together and grins.

"No," I state. "I'm not in the mood for you to try and fix me up."

Christina sighs. "But there's going to be a huge party at Zeke's tonight."

"Christina..." I plead. "Please just- no."

"Fine." Chris sighs and rolls her eyes. "I'm going to Shauna's to get ready with her. Please at least come. You don't have to dress up or anything like that."

"I'll come," I state. "And we'll just see if I feel like going to the party."

Christina smiles and cheers happily. She stands up and starts to walk to Shauna's apartment.
Lynn walks beside me as we follow Chris.
"Is everything going good?" She asks me.

I nod in agreement. "What about you?"

Lynn nods as well. "I'm not so sure about this party though."

Uriah's POV

"Are you going to the party tonight?" Mabel, the annoying amity transfer, looks at me with a question on her face.

I sigh. "Would you stop asking me questions and start throwing those knives."

Mabel nods and smiles and walks over to throw knives. Zeke's party is all over dauntless. I'm sure my mom even knows by now. All the people I've encountered today are talking about it. I want to go, but I doubt Marlene will go and I don't want to go if she isn't there. Zeke will probably make me go so I can help clean up afterwards or drag all the drunk passed out people back to their homes.
I feel a hand on my shoulder and turn around.
It's Peter.
"Are you going to that party?" He asks me.

"Yes," I say, annoyed.

"Great," Peter smiles. "I'll have to introduce you to some new girls." He raises an eyebrow and winks his eyes.

"I'm not interested in any girls, now shut up and leave me alone." I argue with him.

Peter just laughs lightly and walks away. Today's training day is almost over so I go ahead and go to Zeke's apartment.

His apartment is fairly big so it will hold all of the people that are coming tonight.
"What are you doing here so early?" Zeke asks me as I walk in. He is sitting on the couch already drinking a beer.
I sit down in a chair in the kitchen.
"You drink too much," I say.
Zeke doesn't answer me so I walk into the living room to see what he's doing. He's fallen asleep. I decide to have some fun.
I grab a large bowl out of the kitchen and I put it in the sink. I fill it with freezing cold water and walk back to where Zeke is. I pour the bowl of water on his face, soaking him and the couch. He jolts up and starts screaming. I laugh hysterically while he frantically tries to find a towel. Zeke runs to the bathroom.
"Look at me!" He screams.
