Chapter 6

Beatrice is now a Dauntless initiate!  Personally, I was rooting for her to pick Dauntless.  Anyway, her first act of being a Dauntless initiate is to jump onto a moving train that will take her to the Dauntless headquarters.  She makes it, another intiate chooses not to.  If anyone fails to complete any part of initiation then they are considered factionless.  Some consider being factionless worse than death.  Beatrice meets Christina, a transfer from Candor.  They become friends after Christina helps Beatrice into the train.  After jumping onto the train the initiates have to jump onto a roof from the moving train.  (Sometimes I think the Dauntless confuse bravery with stupidity.)  Again, one girl fails to complete the task and ends up on the ground, dead. I think some of the initiates are now thinking, "what did I get myself into."  I know I would be thinking that. 

On the roof Beatrice meets Peter for the first time. I. HATE. HIM.  He seems to make it his mission to make fun of Beatrice for being from Abnegation.  Calling her a "Stiff."  But Tris doesn't let his teasing stop her from showing every other initiate up.  She is first one to jump off the roof into a hole to get into the Dauntless compound.  There's a net at the bottom and that's when she meets Four for the first time.  He's HOT!  Four asks what her name is.

"Think about it," he says, a faint smile curling his lips.  "You don't get to pick again."
"Tris," I say firmly.
