TRIS POV.
New school, New Year, New Me. Good Luck with that is what my brain thought but my conscience thought differently. My name is Beatrice Prior, I am 16 and I was the lamest girl High school. I was the school idiot, the person that ate lunch themselves, and in the mathletes. This year will be different.
This school is called 5 Factions, it`s a boarding school and high school. The school is split into 5 houses called factions that are all part of one school but all have different qualities. Amity the peaceful {if they get into a fight they are instantly factionless which is where you have no faction until the next year}, Abnegation the selfless {they make the food for the dining hall, they help everyone}, Candor the honest {everyone is honest when they want to be but candor is different, they tell the truth all the time. No cheating on tests for them is all I thought. I never read much on Candor}, Erudite the intelligent {the smart asses, the teachers, the tutors and the principal}, and Dauntless the brave {they do everything awesome}.
Every year people that are 16 can change the faction their parents put them into in High school and my parents put my brother and I into abnegation wanting us to be selfless. I am not selfish but I am definitely not selfless. Caleb is a different story, he is 17 this year but he wasn't 16 at the beginning of last year so he is transferring with me. We go through a test to see which faction we should choose, The Aptitude Test. But we don't need to follow it. We follow what we want to do but once we choose there is no backing down. At the choosing ceremony we all need to put our wrists over a bowl if the identification of the faction we want to be in, slit them and let one drop of blood into the bowl of their choice.
I will be in DAUNTLESS, I will have FRIENDS, I will be HAPPY
My alarm clock goes off the next morning playing Whistle : 7:30am – Aptitude starts at 9:00am
- Ceremony at 10:00am
Great I have 1 hour to get ready and eat. What a great day. I go for a quick shower, and grab some Starbucks on campus. I saw a really cute guy as I was walking. Those deep blue eyes brownish black hair. I doubt he would talk to me. He`s probably 2 grades above me at least. I`m not pretty or cute, he most likely has a girlfriend anyway. I look at my watch, crap it`s 8:50am. I gotta run, I also forgot to mention I am not sporty but I run fast.
I just make it when I reach the aptitude building. Abnegation 4th Floor. I go into the aptitude testing room. "Take a seat" said a lady dressed in black, she must be from dauntless. She tilted my neck to the left and injected a serum into my neck, then it went black.
