Hey guys! So this is my first fanfic story, and this was one of the first ideas I ever had when I started writing FanFiction. Keep in mine that this is my first story I ever wrote so quality is not that great. Anyways read on and enjoy!
"Beep Beep Beep!" the alarm clock shrills its annoying mantra. I try to ignore it and get a few more precious minutes of sleep, but seeing it as a fruitless effort, finally bang it shut. I then slowly get up and trudge like a zombie to the bathroom. I look up slowly at the face that stares back at me through the mirror but then quickly turn away. Being Abnegation it is foolish and unwise to spend hours gazing at yourself in the mirror. I scold myself for doing so and am about to open the door to the shower when the blond curly head of my brother Mikey peeks out.
"Sorry Leo!" he says to me. "I still can't believe I beat the fearless leader this morning who would have thought ha ha!" He smirks and resumes taking his shower.
I curse myself under my breath for not getting up earlier and proceed to my room. After deciding to skip the shower I pick out my clothes for today. "Got to look somewhat presentable for the big day." I say to myself. Today is aptitude day at school and honestly I could not have been more nervous. The aptitude test decides your future into the five factions you belong. Abnegation, Amity, Erudite, Candor and Dauntless.
I can already picture where my three younger brothers would belong. Donatello or "Donnie" as we've always nicknamed him would be Erudite. Ever since 3rd grade he's always been a math science whiz. I can picture him there in Erudite chilling with fellow Erudites in their respective blue and white suits. My brother Raphael or "Raph" as we've called him would no doubt fit in Dauntless. I can see him with the other daredevils jumping off of trains and doing other crazy feats. Then there's my younger slightly annoying brother Michelangelo or as we've tenderly called him over the years "Mikey". He of course would be Amity. I can see him with his bubbly personality with the other Amities always laughing and joyful.
Then there's me. Leonardo or "Leo" as my brothers dub me, I don't know where I quite belong and thats what makes me even more nervous about today. I quickly wake out of my self induced trance and glance at my alarm clock. "Yikes!" I exclaim It's almost 7:45 and the bus arrives at 8. Quickly grabbing my backpack and a quick (and failed) attempt at combing my thick black hair, I run down the stairs and into the kitchen where my brothers and my father, Yoshi Hamato, is waiting for me.
"Well well well" my hothead brother Raph exclaims as I saunter into the kitchen, "Looks like the fearless leader had a hard time getting up this morning."
I glare at him and am about to make a slick remark back when my brother Donnie intervenes. "Knock it off Raph let him be."
"Whatever." Raph says and finishes eating his half eaten omelette.
I mouth a thank you to Donnie and he returns it with a quick nod and a small smile. I quickly scorch down a bagel and look in the tea pot to see if there was any made. Sure enough there was green tea with a hint of lemon, my favorite. I have only taken one sip when the honk of a school bus sounds through my ears.
"Come on lets go!" my baby brother Mikey exclaims and we quickly rush out the door.
"Good luck my sons!" Father calls out but with the roar of the bus nearby I doubt any of us heard him.
We plop down in our usual seats far away in the back of the bus. Being Abnegation we have been taught that we should let others go first and to take their pick. As the bus is rolling along the bumpy road, I notice my brother Donnie steal a few quick glances at a pretty Erudite red head. Rolling my eyes I tell Donnie to quit staring and to keep his eyes straight ahead. Donnie gives me a quick glare but then submits.
Unfortunately it was too late as the boy she was sitting next to, a Dauntless notices. "Hey you four eyes!" he calls out. Donnie stupidly looks around for the four eyes that was mentioned but finding no one knows its too late and that it's him. "Yeah you," the Dauntless taunts, "What do you think your doing with my girl?"
"I uh ah" Donnie stammers not sure what to do or say.
I can't take much more of this. I stand up and move closer to the Dauntless until we are literally face to face. "Leave him alone." I threaten in the most menacing voice that I can possibly muster.
Instead of pounding me to a pulp like I thought the Dauntless would immediately do, he instead gives me a quick once over and then folds his arms. "Well well!" he says loud enough for practically the whole bus to hear. I can feel at least 80 pairs of eyeballs turn in our direction. "Never met a tough Stiff like you before. What are you going to do? Your faction is the lowest of the low, so your nothing to any of us." He snorts and pretty soon almost the entire bus is too. He then grabs me by the shirt and pushes me into Raph and Donnie's arms.
By this time the bus has completely stopped as we have now made it at the school grounds. As the rest of the kids make their way single file out of the bus, the Dauntless turns to me and says with a grimacing sneer "Stay out of my way Stiff."
As we made our way off the bus and into the school, Raph, Donnie, and Mikey forcefully push me and lead me to the side of the school building. "What the shell were you thinking?" Raph exclaims, "You could have gotten us all hurt."
"This isn't like you at all Leo." Donnie replies.
"Yeah dude are you all right?" Mikey asks with concern in his eyes.
"I'm fine guys, you aren't my babysitter I can fend for myself." I roughly free myself from their grasp and make my way to the first class of the day: Faction Algebra. I choose a seat towards the back and plop down with a sigh. What is wrong with me? Sure I had no reason to get upset and cause trouble but I couldn't let someone bully my brother like that.
The intercom goes on just then to give everyone a reminder that Aptitude testing is right after lunch. I let out a groan and let my head fall on my desk. Usually I would take out my notebook and start writing notes but today I just don't have the energy. Instead I count how many posters are in the room. When I was finished with that I turned to counting backpacks and then pencils...
My pencil all of a sudden falls on the ground and rolls silently away. Cursing myself silently in my head I reach in my backpack for a spare. I notice a small piece of paper rolled up tightly in the corner of my backpack. Funny, I don't remember seeing that in my bag before. Making sure that the teacher or anyone else isn't looking I silently unroll it and read what it says. It only has one word printed on it.
Divergent.
So, Leo finds the paper that says Divergent. What do you think will happen next? You will just have to wait and see! I'll try to post the next chapter as soon as I can, but this weekends going to be pretty busy for me so I might not have time. So until then please review and tell me what you think of this story. Thanks for sticking with me.
