I wake up knowing today I decide the rest of my life. Today is the day I will transfer to Dauntless. I'm going to miss my family but I can't keep sitting staring at grey walls for the rest of my life and not being able to show off the perfect body I have. I'm short and muscular. Nobody knows but I do work outs before I go to sleep to keep myself fit. I have a lot of curves but you can't see them through my abnegation clothes. I don't usually get to see my face or hair because that's selfish but when I do I see long blond wavy hair. I have blue-grayish eyes that are striking, a long nose, and plump lips. I get from a lot of people that I'm very beautiful but I don't feel it. I know the description of myself makes it sound like I'm confident how I look but I'm not very confident.
My mom enters my room interrupting my thoughts. I sit on my bead and wait for my mom to come back with scissors and a brush. She comes back and brushes my hair. "You scared?" She speaks in a soft voice.
"No. I'm terrified." I say. She trims my hair and opens up the mirror. I look at myself for about 10 seconds then look away. Nothing special to look at other than my body that covered by my baggy pajamas.
"Just know that we will love you no matter what you choose." My mom says and hugs me. It feels weird at first but I like it after two seconds. She pulls away, smiles at me, then leaves.
I get dressed into a grey cami and grey shorts that are just a tad baggy. I then put a nice grey dress over that. I plan to take the dress off before I jump. No one will be expecting it and I plan to make a new reputation at dauntless. I want to be shy yet striking. I know I'm going to be self conscious half the time but I will get over it sooner or later.
I walk down stairs and I'm pulled into a hug by my father. "We will love you no matter what Beatrice." He says and pulls back and smiles. Caleb comes over and hugs me tightly for a while. We've always been close. I don't want to leave him but I have too. I can't live like this anymore. He pulls away and looks as if he's going to cry.
My mom sets down breakfast at the table and we all sit down and eat. My parents talk and me and Caleb stay quiet as usual. I'm not really paying attention till they say "Listen kids. We don't want you to leave but it's your choice. Just know that whatever you do will be the best for you. We will always love you and try to visit as often as possible." But the catch is nowhere is safe for me. I'm divergent. I can go into Abnegation, Erudite, or Dauntless. I can't stay here, neither can I go to Erudite. Learning doesn't really work out for me I get bored.
Once everyone is finished we get up and clean our plates. Then it's time to leave. We get to the place where everyone is in lines getting into the buildings. I hear the train tracks start to rumble and loud laughter and talking. Then people in the train start to jump out. That is going to be very soon.
Everyone gets seated and I'm holding on to my mother and Caleb's hands. A girl named Jeanine starts talking about the factions. Then she starts calling names from amity. Then abnegation. I tune out everything until she calls "Caleb Prior." Caleb squeezes my hand then gets up and walks to the stage. He takes the knife cuts his hand then squeezes the blood into the Erudite bowl. He looks back at me again and smiles before going to Erudite.
"Beatrice Prior." Jeanine says. I squeeze my parents hands and walk up to the stage. I cut my hand and squeeze the blood into the hot coals of dauntless. There is a bunch of cheering from the dauntless section. I look back at my family and my mom is smirking to herself and my dad smiles at me. Caleb is smiling really wide at me.
The rest of the thing goes quickly until Jeanine calls "Uriah Pedrad." A boy who is muscular, tall, light brown skin, and a extremely short black hair walks up to the stage. (in my story Uriah looks like Chris Brown) He smells so good. He chooses dauntless and instead of taking his seat he sits next to me. I look up at him and see his dark chocolate eyes looking into mine. I notice he has diamond earrings in and a small gold nose ring. He has some tattoos on his arms and neck.
"So your Beatrice, right?" He says and smiles showing his white straight teeth.
"Yes, but I'm going by Tris from now on. Your Uriah, right?" I say and smile back.
"Well Tris your going to have a great time in dauntless. If you need any help with training or anything else I'm the man to talk to." He says and casually puts his arm around me.
"I could probably use practice thanks Uriah."
"No problem Tris." We sit there in silence for the rest of the time. Occasionally I can feel him looking at me and smiling. Then the ceremony is over. I take one last look at my parents and Caleb then I run with Uriah. He takes my hand and leads me towards the train tracks.
"Here climb up this I'll be right behind you." He says and I start climbing up a spoke and get onto the ledge and wait for him to get up. Then we make our way over to the other side and start sprinting to catch the train.
He gets on the train like it's nothing and I jump on and he helps pull me in. I push myself against the wall and slowly glide down till I'm sitting on the floor. Uriah sits next to me.
"Awww, you two are so cute. Are you dating?" A girl that is sitting across from us says. She is the same skin tone as Uriah and she has straight black hair that goes down to about her chin. She is really pretty.
"Not for now." Uriah says. I look up at him and he's blushing. But I can't say anything because right when she said that I bet I looked like a tomato.
"I'm Christina by the way." She says.
"I'm Tris."
"I'm Uriah."
The train horn blows and Uriah gets up and pulls me up. He runs and jumps off the train. I grab Christina's hand and jump off with her. She introduces me to her friend Will who has blond hair and green eyes.
"Alright welcome to dauntless. I'm Eric. Who's going to be the first jumper?" Eric says. He has a lot of tattoos and piercings. His hair is greasy and slicked back.
I walk up to the ledge and stand on it. I take off the dress as I planned. "Damn a stiff with curves of a killer." A random candor boy says. I recognize him as Peter when he got called on the stage. I give him a death glare and throw the dress at him. I then quickly jump before anyone can say anything else.
It feels so nice to be falling like this but then my journey ends by me hitting a net. I laugh and I'm suddenly pulled out by a hand. I look up and I'm met with a pair of ocean blue eyes. The guys has black hair. "What faction are you?" He says in amazement.
"Abnegation." I say.
"What did you get jumped then pushed off?"
"No, I took off my dress then jumped off."
"Okay. What's your name."
"Tris."
"FIRST JUMPER TRIS!" he says. "Welcome to dauntless, I'm Four." I nod and walk over to the middle of the room and wait for the others. There is a high pitched girl scream next and I look at the net and Uriah was in it. I laugh to myself and then he comes over to me.
