Abigail's Pov
I woke up to the wretched beeping of my alarm clock. I groaned in protest as I walked across the room to shut it up. Once the noise stopped I became instantly calmer. The alarm clock read 5:30. I grabbed my outfit and headed for the shower. I was almost the bathroom when I was stopped by the one and only Jeanine Mathews a.k.a. my mom.
"Hello mother," I said quietly.
"What do you think you are doing?" My mother asked harshly.
"Taking a shower like every morning. I will be down at the lab by six, don't worry. Please just make sure you finish by seven. I don't want to be late," I said in a tone children don't usually use with their mothers. Well we aren't a normal family. I walked into the bathroom to take my shower. I made sure the door was locked first. My mom had a habit of trying to get in and tell me I took too long. It was dumb because I took five minute showers. Once I finished my shower I got dressed and blow dried my hair. I pulled my hair back in a high ponytail. I looked at my assortment of make up my mother tried to get me to wear and chuckled. Didn't she know by now that I thought it to selfish? I opened the door to find my mother patiently waiting for me outside the door. I knew something was up because she never does that. "What's up?" I asked curiously. I held back the smile that wanted to come out. Today was no day to act like a silly little Amity girl.
"I'm not testing you today. I don't want to push you today. You will not be taking the aptitude test today as you well know but I still don't want you to have anxiety." These were the times I knew she actually cared.
"Well of course I'm not. I personally don't want to be killed by my own mother's test," I let out a light hearted laugh. My mother knew for years this day would come. I think she feared it more than I did.
I was the exact opposite of what the test was. I am the ultimate divergent. I am selfless. I am brave. I am smart, kind, and honest. My mother ran the simulation on me as a kid. I almost died because of it. My mother broke her own rule and in the process saved her only daughter.
"Will Mr. Eaton be over tonight?" I asked my mother. I had no doubt that my mother's secret lover would be here tonight. I was glad when he did because I could go to a friend's and talk about random girl stuff with her. My mother gave a short nod and walked off. I finally let that smile out and walked to my room. I grabbed my bag and headed out.
"MOM! I'M GOING TO SCHOOL EARLY!" I yelled down the hall toward my mother. I walked outside toward the bus stop and not a moment too soon. The early bus was just about to stop. I ran to the stop and got there just in time. I got on and sat in an empty seat. My backpack was in between my legs. After several stops the bus finally made it to the school. I got off eagerly to see if he was there. I looked around to see and I was not disappointed. The train came barreling down the tracks and a few boys jumped off as it came by. I ran towards them knowing one of them was mine. The group of boys looked around and saw me coming. There were about five boys total but only one stood out. He came out from the back of the group and held his arms open wide as to catch me when I got to him. I ran into his arms gratefully as he stopped me from running. I looked up into his eyes and saw all of the love he had for me. I hoped he saw the same in mine.
"You're here early," He said.
"Yes I am and if you want to know why you have to ask properly," I said as we let go of each other. As soon as we let go he pulled me to his side so we were right next to each other.
"Okay, why are you here early?" He asked this time.
"My mom said I didn't have to work. So, you brought me my muffin, right?" I asked. My belly was growling
"No," He paused as I stared in disbelief," I brought you cake." I squealed. The other boys laughed.
"Thank you Chris," I said while taking the squashed cake from his hands," Let's go sit down somewhere so I can eat the cake," I basically ran to the nearest table and started unwrapping the tons of saran wrap I knew Chris had put on purposely so I wouldn't be able to eat it until he sat down and gave me a fork to eat with. I couldn't get it off and got frustrated with it. "You do it," I demanded of my boyfriend. He just chuckled and swapped the plate for the fork.
"Yes ma'am," he said politely as he unwrapped the cake. As soon as the cake was handed back to me I devoured the cake. Only after did I notice that all of the boys that came with Chris had left to get into the school.
"Come on let's go. I want to get to class early," I said. I was excited at the chance to impress my already impressed teacher. It was funny how everyone thought I would surely end up in Erudite. If only the saw the flame that already marked me as dauntless. As if reading my thought s Chris's hand touched the spot on my lower back that held the symbol of his beloved faction.
"I love you," He whispered in my ear.
"I love you more," I said," By the way I'm going to be at Lil's tonight so feel free to call my cell." He nodded.
School passed quickly and in no time at all I was sitting with Lil at the Erudite table waiting for my name to called. "Lilly Brown," A women in a dull grey called. Anyone could tell she was an Abnegation woman. I marveled at the selflessness she possessed. I knew I had that same selflessness but I could never have it to that extent. I was too curious and to truthful.
"Good luck," I whispered as she got up and headed toward the woman. Not long after my name was said and I got up and followed the lady into the room. "Abigail, You may go through that door right there and head home. "
"Thank you very much for you services."
"My pleasure."
I walked out the door and started walking toward the bus. If I got there fast enough I would make it. I quickened my pace and made it early. I didn't see Lil so I expected she walked home. When the bus got to the stopped I got on and the only words I used were the ones I used to tell the bus where to go. For once I was the only one on the bus. The bus driver stopped at all his stops and I got off at my respective stop. I actually got home at the same time Lil did.
"Lillian! Why did you walk home?" Lil's mother called.
"Because, I didn't want to take the bus. I wanted to think." She said politely. I knew she would be a shoe in for Candor. She always told the truth
Her mother saw me and waved. She didn't say another word and went inside. I walked next to Lil in silence. I let her think about her choice I thought about my forced decision. My mother wanted me to go to Dauntless to rat out others of my kind. It's cruel but I have to. I was forced to make a relationship with a dauntless boy. She thought I had been unsuccessful but in truth I had fell in love with one. I had fallen in love with him long before she told me to though. I would be Dauntless or I would be dead. My mother made that clear.
Lil and I walked into the house and sat down in her room. We talked and laughed and eventually fell asleep on each other. I woke up to the sound of my cell. It was the man himself that had promised to call. I answered the call with a smile.
"You remembered," I said delighted.
"What, you think I would forget?" He asked sarcastically
"Not one bit but still, it's nice," I was smiling from ear to ear as I spoke. Lil awoke to my smile and chuckled lightly. She knew from experience only one person could make me smile like that.
"HEY CHRIS WHAT'D YOU DO TO MAKE HER SMILE LIKE AN AMITY IDIOT?" My best friend yelled.
"Can you give the phone to Lillian please," Chris asked. I knew that this was going to be fun, maybe even a little bit too much fun.
"Here ya go. My boyfriend, I believe, would like to answer your question," I said to Lil. She looked excited as I gave the phone to her. Whatever he said to her made her eyes widen in shock and then scold him for being a very naughty boy. I wanted to know what he said really badly. "What did he say?" I asked.
"Like you don't know," she told me.
"I don't!"
"Then prove it,"
Chris intervened by telling her I didn't know.
"If you were here right now I would slap you," she replied. With that I grabbed the phone and put it on speaker phone. I looked at the time and it was midnight.
"One, you are now on speaker phone. Two, what are you doing calling me at midnight?" I asked the boy.
"Cause I knew you would fall asleep on the floor with Lillian. I wanted to make sure you actually got to a bed."
Lil decided to start talking again, "How sweet. Now let us go to sleep we've got important business to deal with tomorrow, so good night." She took the phone and closed it, "Let's get some sleep." We got on her queen sized bed and got under the covers. As soon as my head hit the pillow I fell asleep.
