Chapter 11

The morning after Tris fought Peter, she wakes up super sore.  She is bruised all over her body and I can't imagine the pain she is in. That morning the initiates are going to the fence that surrounds the city.  Tris can barely get dressed and tie her shoes.  She's lucky Christina and Al are there to help.  Christina ties her shoes for her, and Al helps her get into the train.  Of course, Peter can't help but make some comment about Tris.  Peter is just so clever...not!

"Feeling okay there?" Peter says, giving me a look of mock sympathy-his lips turned down, his arched eyebrows pulled in.  "Or are you a little...Stiff?"

During the train ride, Christina and Tris talk about what is outside the fence.  There's Amity farms, but no one really knows what is beyond those.  I would find it strange not knowing what's beyond Eldridge, especially if there were guards around the perimeter.  But, I guess their used to it.

 Anyway, when the initiates reach the fence a truck is pulling in.  Tris sees Robert her old friend from Abnegation.  He also transferred out of Abnegation into Amity.  Robert asks Tris about her face and about the people there.  Then, Robert says something interesting.

"You could go home, you know.  I'm sure Abnegation would make an exception for you."

After, Robert leaves Four comes over and tells Tris she shouldn't talk to people from other factions.  He also gives her some advice on fighting after looking at her bruises.
