KLet's pretend that none of that Hunger Games/President Snow etc business happened! The world is sane, well as sane as it gets in a dystopian story. Sane, like divergent sane...ah well...just read. Also let's pretend no one died!

Katniss' POV

Our Prez said that it's 'choosing day' tomorrow. Whatever that is. She said that we are going to a different city, Chicago, and everything there, from the government system to the way of living, is different. We have to get ready. Their city is divided into 'factions', which are basically sections. We first take the aptitude test to see which one we're best suited for. Then we get to choose.

I'm pretty nervous. What if I'm not suited to any faction? What if I don't end up in the same faction as Peeta or Prim or Gale or Finnick or anyone else?

"Aren't you the least bit nervous, Katniss?" Prim asks, tugging on my sleeve.

I stare at her. "Duh! Why do you think I'm shaking while combing my hair? I only do those things when I'm super nervous."

"Katniss, you're not shaking and you've put down your comb. You're not nervous."

I look at the comb on the table. I look at my steady limbs. Prim's right. I'm not nervous. "I-"

"C'mon Prim! C'mon Katniss! Chop chop the train is here!" Gale shouts.

I rush out. "Where's Peeta?"

"He's already in the train," he says as Prim runs out.

"Let's go!"

"Hey Katniss, Prim, Gale," Peeta says.

I take a seat next to him. "Hey."

Prim and Gale take seats opposite to him, and my mum, who's already in, sits at the end.

The ride is only 5 minutes and not a word is uttered. I guess none of us have really been the talkative type, especially me.

If you imagine the train to be Capitol-worthy, top-class fancy then I need that image out of your mind. It's not an ugly old slum train either though. It has wood sides, benches with cushions on either side and a short one at the end with a simple polished wood coffee table too. And a clock.

"We're here!" Effie Trinket announces, coming in from another carriage. "Introducing Chicago and your new life!"

Tris' POV

She doesn't stand out but she does. That's what stands out to me the most.

We're meeting the former citizens of another city, Panem. Tori's never heard of it and she studies history a lot, so it must be new. Tobias comes up and puts an arm around me. "Hey Tris. What do you think of them?"

"She really stands out to me," I say, pointing to the girl who caught my eye. A blondie's arm is around her, and she's holding a young girl's- maybe 12?- hand. Her sister, I guess.

"Yeah, I heard about her. The all-famous Katniss Everdeen, her bf Peeta Mellark, her sister Primrose and her best friend Gale Hawthorne," Tobias says. I punch his arm.

"Stalker," I mutter.

"I'm not a stalker! I read a bit about her and I got so interested. That's all. Let's go meet," he says.

So we do. But instead of going straight to Katniss and gang, we bump into a girl who's in her twenties, maybe? Black hair, straight posture. "Hey! What's your name?" I say, trying the old friendly approach.

She growls. "None of your beeswax, unless you tell me yours."

I shrug. "Tris. Tris Prior."

"Johanna Mason. And you? Tall hot guy next to Tris."

I put my arm protectively on Tobias. "Hands off. He's mine," I say, half-joking, half-serious.

"No way, seriously?" Johanna looks surprised and I don't blame her. Why would a tall, strong, hot guy like him choose to be with regular, ugly me?

"Yup," I say, popping the 'p'.

"Name's Four," Tobias says, using the name he uses to the public.

"Weird name, but whatever," she says, walking away.

We walk up to Katniss, Peeta, Gale and Prim. "Hey guys," I say.

"Hey.." Katniss looks nervous. Maybe she's not comfortable around people.

"Hey. Name's Peeta, you?" Peeta says. A little more social I guess.

"Tris."

"Four."

"Gale, this is Prim."

"Katniss."

"Citizens of Panem, head into the Hub for registration for the aptitude test and as citizens. Chicago citizens, please show our guests where the Hub is," a voice on intercom says. I think it's Marcus, the official leader of the city.

We guide the gang to the Hub. And go away. Because the aptitude test and the choosing ceremony are experiences you have to face alone.

Ok, experimental chap! Not sure if anyone will actually like it/read it but since everyone was doing Divergent characters compete in the Hunger Games I decided to do the opposite. Hope you review!
