"ALRIGHT INITIATES!" Lucas shouts, "THIS IS AMAR!" He says pointing to a small man standing behind him.
"HE WILL BE THE ONE TRAINING YOU, HOWEVER I WILL BE HELPING HIM!" He shouts. The other initiates start whispering to the person next to , why do they always shout or whisper here. I know it's Dauntless but it gets kinda annoying after a while, I mean id like to have a normal conversation for once.
Lucas' voice brings me back to reality.
"AMAR WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO SHOOT A GUN!" He screams. Amar demonstrates, explaining as he goes along. He doesn't scream when he talks, much to my liking. He tells us to try, so I pick up a gun and stand in front of a target. I wait a second, stand and fire. I flinch a little bit, but it set my bullet off a little bit, and it lands nowhere near the target.
I try a couple more shots, but none of them land anywhere near. I feel a hand on my back and flinch instinctively, preparing for Marcus' wrath. But I remember that I'm in Dauntless now, and that Marcus is far behind. I turn around and see Amar standing behind me.
"I'll let you in on a little secret," he says to me, "One way I got close to the target is by imagining someone I hated was the target," he says. I wonder how that could, work, but I imagine Marcus' face instead of the target. I aim, and fire. A smile spreads across my face. I hit the target, not in the middle, but close to the edge. Still, I consider that a big achievement.
A few hours later, my back and arm start hurting from the constant shooting, but we are dismissed for lunch. I had managed to hit the middle twice, but every shot I fired hit the target.
"Hey!" I hear a voice behind me. Taylor.
"Oh hi" I say back.
"So, how'd it go for you?" She asks, smiling. Man I love her smile, it's way prettier then any of the Abnegation girls.
"Good," I say, smiling back. I just hope I don't look like a creep, cuz the worst thing I could do now is scare her off, "I hit the middle twice and I hit the target a lot. How'd it go for you?"I ask politely. I'll always be an Abnegation.
"Okay. I didn't hit the middle at all but I hit the target," she answers, still smiling.
"Awesome!" I say back, smiling and probably looking like a freak. I put my arm around her. Oh god, why did I do that? It'd just be awkward to stop hugging her so I'm gonna have to roll with it.
To my surprise she puts her arm around me, just like I'm doing to her, except she's shorter then me. We walk into the lunch room like that.
"Awwwwww," I hear Jacob say.
"Shut the hell up, man!" I say back, taking my arm off Taylor.
"Hey, you two would make a cute couple!"
"Ooh what's their couple name?" Tori asks. I growl at her.
"TayTo... No... ToTay... Nope... ToLor... Yea lets just call you guys TT!"
"That's perfect!" Alex says, making a heart around us. I punch him lightly and sit down in between Jacob and Taylor.
After lunch, we go back to the training room.
"ALRIGHT INITIATES" he shouts, "AMAR HERE IS GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO PUNCH AND KICK! LISTEN CLOSELY BECAUSE THOSE WHO DO NOT PERFECT THIS WILL GET HURT," he says. Well no freaking duh this is Dauntless. It's life or death here, survival of the fittest, "AND THEY WILL MOST LIKELY BE KICKED OUT OF DAUNTLESS!" He continues. Well there's something we didn't know.
"YOU HEARD ME RIGHT! THERE MAY ONLY BE 20 INITIATES THAT CONTINUE! THE REST WILL BE KICKED OUT! AS YOU KNOW, YOU ARE RANKED ACCORDING TO SKILL LEVEL, AND THOSE BELOW NUMBER 20 IN THE RANKINGS WILL BE KICKED OUT!" Okay we get it, he can stop yelling now. Jeez he's annoying. I like Amar way better.
Amar demonstrates different punches and kicks on a well-used punching bag. After he demonstrates each move a few times, he sends us off to our own punching bags to practice the moves. I don't move the punching bag very far at first.
After a while I'm still not moving the punching bag very far, but I got it to go a little bit further. I remember something that Amar told us. To keep tension in my stomach area. I do that and move the punching bag further, but it's still not satisfactory.
After a few more minutes and still not moving it very far, I decide to do the same thing I did with the guns. I picture Marcus' face on the punching bag, and get the urge to punch it so hard. I punch it, and it moves another few inches further. Amar's trick worked again. It feels nice pretending to punch Marcus. When I get the chance I wanna go back to Abnegation and do that to him.
After a few more hours, I've managed to move the punching bag another two inches or so. I feel proud of myself. I've moved the punching bag the furthest out of anyone, except for Alex, but he's like a big tank, and he wasn't very good at the guns, so I think I still stand a chance.
After were dismissed, I walk to dinner with Taylor, Tori, Lauren, Alex and Jacob.
"Boo!" We hear behind us. Zeke is standing there.
"Really dude," Jacob says.
"Yep!" Zeke replies. Just after, this kid that looks a couple years younger then us runs up and shoves Zeke.
"Flirting with girls again, cuz you don't stand a chance with them!" The kid says, staring at Tay, Lauren and Tori.
"Yea, well at least the girls I have r pretty!" He screams back at the kid, both of them laughing.
"Haha. I'd rather have an ugly girl then no girl at all!" He says and they start laughing. The kid runs off to go join his friends.
"Sorry guys. That was my brother Uriah. He's annoying but he knows how to have a laugh, and he can care." Zeke tells us.
"Emphasis on CAN" Jacob says, and we all start laughing as we enter the cafeteria for dinner.
