Ayyy, I've revised all the story so far, so no major plot changes, just spelling and phrases mainly, thank you all for reading!

The alarm on my bedside table starts to vibrate, the noise getting gradually louder. Today. Today is the day that I leave to my new school. I finally get a new beginning, my past left behind me as well as my family and friends. Well, I say friends, I don't really mean friends, I've always tended to keep myself to myself. It's not like I don't want to have friends, I would love to have people close to me, but people in my hometown just aren't like me; they all think for one reason or another I'm rather selfish. I admit, I'm not like everyone here; I don't fit in, but maybe, just maybe, I might fit in there.

I drag my heavy limbs out of bed and change into simple grey clothes. Whilst I tie up my blonde hair my brother Caleb bursts through my door,

"Beatrice, hurry up, mom said we need to get on the road, we only have until 3pm to get there and it's a damn long drive."

"I'll be right down Caleb, would you mind carrying my bag downstairs, it's quite heavy." I respond to my brother, he's always fit in so well here, I don't understand why he would want to leave, he's doing well in school, has friends and I even think that he has something going on with our next door neighbour; Susan. Susan is our age, she was one of the people who I considered a 'friend'. Her older brother; Robert, was another one of our friends, more so Caleb's than mine; he's taller than me with curly blonde hair. Caleb was always convinced there was something going on between us, there never was and now, well, I guess there never will be, which as unbothered about it as I am, I can't help but feel that I might be missing out on something in the future.

Reluctantly he carries my bag down as I say goodbye to my room, I won't be back here until at least Christmas. As I step into the back of the car, I can't help but feel nostalgic. Bye house, well for the time being.

We rattle down the highway for hours, me sleeping most the way while my parents and Caleb ramble on about things I can't quite catch.


I step out of the car to this school, it's nothing like any school I have ever been to before. The walls tower high, made of glass, shining in the daylight. The hustle and bustle of pupils new and old is all around, I grab my case from the trunk and place it down on the wheels.

"Beatrice, look how you've grown, off all on your own; your so independent. We'll miss you so much dear," my mother says with a tear in her eye as she pulls me into a rare hug; we don't hug much, or really show much affection. We stand for a small moment, not wanting to move and as much as I hate to admit it, I have a feeling of concern in my stomach as if I've made the wrong decision.

"I agree with your mother, look at you. You'll thrive here; This place is perfect for you." He also pulls me into a hug and then my brother. I can't comprehend that this is the last time that i'll see them in person until Christmas time, that's months away, I shouldn't have come here. Yet me and Caleb have to set off.

Within a few steps a football flies overhead and lands in a tanned skinned boy's hands. He gives me a faint smile and I return it

"Oh and Beatrice," My fathers shouts," No boyfriends, you're here to learn." I let out a nervous laugh as I turn around and continue walking until we reach the doors of the school where a stands has been placed, manned by a few people.

"Name?" Asks a dark haired girl with a blonde streak.

"Beatrice Prior, " I reply.

"Okay, well, I'm tori, I'm work here. You'll be in dauntless and-"

"-Dauntless, sorry?" I interject rather confused.

"Well, as part of the school system, you're split up into five factions, Dauntless, Candor, Amity, Abnegation and Erudite. Each of these factions has a different motto and aim, and while you were tested over the summer for here, you were split up depending on what you were like. The dauntless are brave and tend to be fairly sporty, the candor are honest and tend to be good at activities like debating, Amity are peaceful and work to keep the school in order, the Abnegation are selfless," Maybe Caleb might fit in well here; better than I thought at least." And the Erudite thirst for knowledge. You were rather sporty and seemed to fit in best with the Dauntless."

"Oh okay, I understand, thanks." In all honesty, this idea of factions seems stupid, where are we? Hogwarts? I think not thank you.

"Your house decide where you board and who you have classes with, seeing as you're dauntless, you will be boarding in block 9," She points to one of the many buildings behind her," There'll be signs to the building and you'll be in room 6C. Enjoy you're time here. Just to note dinner is at 6-8 and breakfast is from 7." I thank her for her help, yet I can't remember half of that already, surely it will come with time.

I walk away from Tori to go find Caleb," Which house are you in?" I eagerly ask.

"I believe their called factions here," Caleb corrects me," and to answer your question, I'm in erudite." Caleb, in erudite, the smart faction. In my experience his personality has always been somewhat of an abnegation.

"Oh, so-"

"-So that means this is well, goodbye I guess. I'll still see you around and there's Christmas break-" I cut him off with a tight hug. For the first time in my life, I'm alone. No one to help. It's just me. The thought makes me want to cry, but I have to be brave, for now I am dauntless.

"Bye Caleb." I sniff into his shirt, he pushes me away and I turn around and find the signs to my room, not looking back.

I hope this is better than it was before, I honestly am amazed you guys read that dribble, some of the sentences were just cliché after cliché. Deary me.

Anyway, Thanks for reading! I love you all so much, remember to review, follow and favourite!
