Factions, that's the word they used after the war to keep the peace. They say the war was terrible and were lucky to live in the city. Five factions created on one belief: abnegation formed on the belief selfishness was to blame were selfless; Candor formed on the belief that deception was to blame value honesty; Erudite formed on the belief that ignorance was to blame value intelligence; Amity formed on the belief of a peaceful and happy society free from war and instigation; Dauntless was formed on the belief cowardice was to blame value bravery...Dauntless was also the place I now call home. At 16 you are made to take an aptitude test that decides your faction. The next day a choosing ceremony is then held and you can join any faction you like. The only catch if you choose to go to a different faction you leave your family. There's one more catch if you have multiple factions from your test you are known as Divergent, not fitting into a category, and looked upon as a threat. Its been one year since my choosing day and I still remember jumping onto the net for the first time. My name is Becca Prior. I'm 17 and I have blonde hair and blue eyes. This is the story on my life in Dauntless with my friends Christina, Will, Uriah, Zeke, Mar, and Lynn along with my boyfriend Four, or as I know him Tobias.

"Tobias! Tobias! Tobias wake up! Its choosing day! The new initiates will be here soon!" I screamed jumping up and down on the bed.

"Alright, Alright..."Tobias looked at me sleepily, "excited for today are we?" he finished.

"A little."

"Are we keeping your name or giving you a nickname?"

"B is a nickname...my real name is Becca."

Last year after I jumped first I was told I could pick a new name. I liked the thought of being remade so i simply went with B.

"OK, so do we tell them were together or let them figure it out?" Tobias smirked

"Let them figure it out. Plus I wont look as intimidating if I have my boyfriend around."

"Your afraid of looking less intimidating because of me? Becca please I don't make you look intimidating...that you do yourself."

With that Tobias headed into the shower and me to the mess hall. I was the only one who knew Tobias' real name because he went by Four. He was given that name from his instructor due to him only having four fears. He was also the only one to call me Becca and knew about my Divergence. He figured it out during stage 2 where one is forced to face their worst fears.

"B!B! Wait up!" Christina shouted from behind, "you ready for this years transfers?" she finished catching up to me out of breath.

" Its not me that has the challenge. Are you and Uriah ready to take on the Dauntless born?" I replied

"Yea...at least I have him. I would be a lot more out of place since I was just a transfer last year. You have Four though as well. Speaking of how is Four? I still cant believe I had to wait to find out you were dating."

"Shhhh not everyone knows and we really don't want the transfers to know."

"B, I hate to say it but everyone knows. No one thinks that's why you were ranked the way you were. Plus you picked tattoo artist. Will is still mad Peter took leader in training. I cant believe its been a year for you guys! Ahhh your so cute too!"

Christina was my girllie friend. She forced me to go shopping and I could always go to her on advice with boys. Though when it came to Four I did feel strange about going to her about my fear of intimacy. Its true he never pushed me to far into anything but I know he wanted more and I did to. Christina could see something was bothering me but for once she didn't push it. She stayed in the mess hall with Will as I headed back to Tobias' apartment. Yes, I had my own but it was much nicer and I felt safer staying with him. Before we were together, during my initiation, I had gotten attacked coming back from seeing my sister. I didn't speak on her any more. She transferred to Erudite and though I betrayed my parents too I would never have dreamed of doing what she did to them. Especially after the false assumptions they made against Abnegation finally proven false by Candor. Don't get me wrong over the past year I have come to understand 'Faction before blood' I just could never be Erudite.

"Hey what took you so long? We gotta be at the net in 5." Tobias said walking out of his apartment and taking the muffin.

" Sorry I ran into Christina." I smiled

"She ready for the Dauntless born?"

"Lets just say shes glad Uriah will be with her."

Tobias chuckled a bit, "hey ill race ya to the net."

He didn't give me time to answer and just took off. Four was faster then myself and it didn't help that I had scrawny legs. I really don't know how I ranked first last year other then I was determined not to live factionless. I knew hiding inside a faction was better then not knowing were you belong and being cold and hungry at the same time. As expected Tobias beat me. What I didn't expect to see was no one there and a small trail of rose petals leading up to the net with just the top of the roses on the net with no stem.
