Chapter 12

"Something about him (Four) makes me feel like I am about to fall.  Or turn to liquid.  Or burst into flames."

                                 -Tris

This chapter was a really good chapter! I feel like this is where the book is starting to pick up speed and intensity. They played capture the flag in this chapter. Well, actually at first, Tris fights Myra. Obviously Tris beats her, because Myra is such a weak little thing. However, Tris feels bad about it. She thinks that Myra isn't the type of person you want to hit.

Back to capture the flag. So all the transfers as well as the Dauntless-born initiates along with Eric and Four go out to Navy Pier on the train. They pick teams, with Eric and Four as captains, Four picks first. HE PICKS TRIS! At this point I was really confused, why not pick like Peter or Edward or Al? Tris is confused too, but by the end of the team-picking, she figures out what was going on. Eric picked all the intimidating people, while Four picked the scrawniest, smartest people.

So they all go out to hide their flags, and while Tris's team is arguing about what to do next, Tris has the super smart idea of climbing the ferris wheel to get a better look of the area, and find Eric's flag! So she starts climbing, and Four is right behind her. She soon figures out what Four's weakness is. He's afraid of heights! So once they get to the very top, they look around and finally find Eric's flag.

The whole way up to the top they were having some intense moments between the two of them.On their way down, TRIS ALMOST FALLS OFF! But here comes good ol' Four to the rescue! He turns on the ferris wheel and saves her! At the bottom, she gets her team and they head out to get the flag, half of them to capture it, and half of them to distract the other team.

Tris and Christina find the tree that it is in, and when they reach for it at the same time, Chritina begs Tris to let her get it, because Tris was already kind of the hero. Christina gave Tris a very patronizing look that made Tris think a little.

Anyway, they WON! Yay for Four's team! Hahahaha for Four's team.
