Chapter 4: My Divergence

                                    

                                          
The next morning I woke up early to get ready. I did my makeup, got dressed and quickly threw on some clothes. When I looked over at the time it was only 7:30 and training starts at 8, so I decided to just head over there early and relax.
I walked over to the training room when I see Tris practicing on a punching bag. I didn't even notice she was gone.
"Heyy there" I say as I throw my bag down.
"Oh hi Shannon" she says laughing and wiping her face.
"Training already huh?" I say as I walk up to her.
"Yeah.. I just need to try harder" she says slightly smiling and looking down.
"Hey" I say while grabbing her hand "You'll make it, you were one of the strongest people I knew in Abnegation".
"Yeah maybe strong on the inside" she says sitting down on the mat.
"That's what I mean" I say sitting down next to her "But if you're strong on the inside then just imagine how strong you'll get on the outside".
"Thanks Shannon" she says while leaning on me.
"Anytime girl" I say smiling.
Just then we hear the doors swing open. We quickly look over and see Eric, Max, Four and Lauren enter the room.
I get up and dust off my legs while I help up Tris.
"Morning initiates" Max greets us as he walks away with Lauren.
"Why the fuck are you guys here early?" Eric says rolling his eyes.
"I think that just shows that they really wanna be Dauntless Eric" Four says to him and nods at us.
"Whatever man, I'm gonna set up, you can go confirm things with Max and wake the others" Eric says while walking away.
"Alright.. Shannon walk with me, I need to talk to you" Four says.
"No she can stay here to help" Eric says sternly.
"I need to talk to her about something, Tris won't mind right?" Four says smirking at Eric.
"Four it can wait right, I mean personally, you don't want to find your sister at the bottom of the chasm right" I say whispering in his ear.
"Fine.. Tris.. you come" he says while walking out.
Tris follows Four out of the room and I slowly approach Eric.
"What" he says while cleaning some knives.
"What.. what me? Your the one who said I had to stay back and help you set up" I say rolling my eyes.
"Well then do it" he says annoyed.
"Do what?" I say throwing my hands up.
He rolls his eyes and throws the knives back on the table and walks away.
"Follow" he says.
I follow him down the pit and we go into a corner with some targets. 
"Here grab this" he says while handing me one.
"Holy shit" I say as my legs stumble.
"Come on weakling, let's go" he says while rolling his eyes.
"Umm.. if you haven't noticed" I say while in between pants "You're way muscular than me".
He quickly walks up to me and takes the target out of my hands.
"Your not gonna make it here if you can't even hold onto one of these" he says smirking.
