I wake to the sound of eggs sizzling on the stove downstairs. I slowly get out of bed, soon realizing what day it was, it was the day of the test. As I get up, I have a craving to look at my reflection, one peek I tell myself and move on into the hall way, I look around to see if anyone's near. I slowly realize that my parents and caleb are all down stairs politely waiting for me. I quicken my pace and reach the old oak closet door at the end of our long colorless hallway I slowly walk down jumping at the sound of a floor board creaking. I reach the closet door and put my hand around the cold fancy, metal handle, I pull ever so slightly purposely to make no sound. Standing in the back of the closet was a full length mirror, being my curious self I take a peek, a short slender girl, with long blond hair stands in front of me. I felt slightly disappointed, I still look as though I am 12 years old, though I turned 18 two months ago. I hear foot steps approaching, so I hide myself in the bathroom."Honey?"my mom whispers through the door, "Yes, Mom?" I reply in a soft voice, "There are eggs ready downstairs for breakfast, and we will be waiting for you." She say with an expecting tone. "of course Mom." I reply quickening my pace, I return to my bedroom, and pull on a grey knit sweater any a pair of thick grey tights. I wander down the stairs to join my family for breakfast, as soon as reach the bottom I see my family sitting around a table with four plates of untouched food."Good morning Beatrice" my father says lightly. I acknowledge him and my mother, and sit down. My father says the annual abnegation thanks to god and we all dig in. Right away my parents go into a deep conversation about the abnegation news, so me and my brother just listen both understanding each others fear for the big test. The conversation dies down at about 7:40 and my brother gets up and does the dishes. Unlike me, my brother was completely selfless, he was a true abnegation, I some times felt as though I don't fit in, but then I fall right back in love with a fraction. The way we would help and look after each other. There were five fractions Abnegation(the selfless), Candor(the honest),Amity(the peaceful), Dauntless(the brave), and Erudite(the intelligent). My brother snaps me out of my daydream and calls me to the front door, I hear the bus pull up, my dad plants a kiss on my forehead and I my mom kisses me on the cheek, I say my fare wells, and then leap out the front door. As we get on the bus Susan and Robert wave us over. We sit down in the seat in front of them. Caleb smiles at Susan and Susan smiles back I laugh at their pathetic attempts at flirting. We soon get stuck in a thick conversation about what the tests will be like but none of us know what is going to happen. The bus grows louder and more excited as we rounded the corner to the school yard, after all it was a big day for all the 18 year olds around all the fractions. It was the day that decided our fate.
There must have been a hundred students called for there test to be done before Susan and I the chance got but being abnegation we always offered to go last. Finally our names are called we give each other a firm hand shake and took our separate ways. I walk into my room with large a dentist chair and brights stars on the wall paper, the dark woman sitting in the back room noticed me looking around "Never seen a curious abnegation before"she mutters with a big smile she asks me to sit down and right away I notice how beautiful she is and how she is from dauntless. As I lay down in the chair she pulls out a long skinny needle out of a large grey box. I see the blue liquid inside I know it was made in Erudite. As she sticks it into me, my senses immediately start to calm down, then it goes black.
A little girl sits on a window ledge with her back to the open city below I immediately recognize she her bright yellow dress she is a Amity. A man comes up behind me and whispers in my ear "push her" Though i do not acknowledge this I just stare at the little girl, then again he whispers louder "Push her!" I feeling a loud anger coarse through me i turn around and punch him in the gut, i quickly run over to the little girl and pull her back onto steady ground . I soon realize that I am no longer in the room but back sitting in the dentist chair with the dauntless woman. She stands in front of me with her mouth wide open. "what?" I mumble starting to get scared, she closes the door and just stares at me, after what felt like hours she speaks again "Beatrice, you are special...You manipulated the test ... this means you are some thing very special, you are divergent...Do not tell anyone this information." "Of course" I reply "you are never supposed to tell anyone your test results", "yes but if you tell anyone this could lead to death" she retorts then big black spots widen into my eyes and everything goes black. I wake in my bedroom with Caleb sitting next me. "Beatrice are you ok?" He asks worriedly, "Yeah, what happened, why are we home?" I reply, "Well after you fainted, and the dauntless nurse, Tori drove you and me home and left a note for you" he politely hands over a note
Dear. Beatrice
Tomorrow there will be a hard choice for you will just have to trust your gut.
from, Tori
"Did you read it?" I ask caleb "of course not!" He replied "It said your name so I thought it would be rude" I nod my head and lay back down. All the ideas and consequences slowly move into my head. Abnegation I would have the same dull life with no color, but Erudite you had to be brilliant and dauntless you had to be brave, brave was the last thing I was...
