So I'm already doing four other stories, but I want to see what you guys think of this. I've never seen this before, so I wanted to try it.

CALEB POV
Tomorrow is the Choosing Ceremony. I know what I should do, but I don't know if I can bring myself to do it. My result is Erudite, exactly as I feared. When Beatrice is done with her test, she doesn't come back. At least, I assume she is done with her test since Susan is back. Susan looks happy with her result, and I can tell she is going to stay in Abnegation. She is too selfless to do otherwise. No, it is more my sister I am worried about.
She is rebellious, and she does not believe that she can be selfless. That may be partially my fault, but still. She is daunting, and I have a nagging feeling she will leave our parents to be Dauntless. One could say I did not try hard enough to make her selfless, but I read a book once about reverse psychology, and apparently that's what I was doing. Too little too late, though, because I already had her most impressionable years.
I am currently walking home with Susan and her brother, Robert. Robert is nice, but he is too nice, and I know he will join Amity. I will miss Susan, though I never got to tell her how I truly feel about her. I am lucky, really, that I get to spend today with her. She and her brother usually ride in her father's car, and it was only chance that it was today that he couldn't drive them.
We continue walking, making small talk and jokes, with Robert rolling his eyes every once in a while at our Susan and I's flirting. My worry only grows for Beatrice, because even though the Dauntless woman told me she was alright, who knows what's happened to her since then. I don't trust the factionless, and she had to walk directly through the factionless sector to get home, if she had taken the long way, which logically, she would've. If she had taken the faster way, she would have gotten home early, and my father would have remarked this when he checked the house log at the end of the day.
My sister is not an idiot.
We walk up to my house, at least for one more day, anyway, and I see Beatrice sitting on the front steps of our house. I breathe out in relief, surprising myself with how worried I was. We all walk up the steps as Beatrice stands and brushes herself off. We all exchange goodbyes, after Beatrice remarks on how Susan and Robert took the bus instead of riding with their father.
Susan and I stare at each other for longer than socially acceptable, and I see Robert and Beatrice exchange glances as they often do when we flirt in the tentative way known only to the Abnegation. Susan and Robert leave, and I stare after Susan until my sister clears her throat, and I turn around to face her. (A/N sorry about this next part I don't have the book with me so it won't be word for word)
"Where did you go? I missed you after lunch." I say, and I see her bite her lip, as she always does when she is lying.
"I felt ill. I think it might be that liquid they gave us," she says, and I have to hold in a laugh. Even without the telltale sign, I could tell if she was lying. Perhaps I should be Candor. It would make my father happier, anyway. Beatrice looks down and scuffs her shoe on the ground and I resist the urge to snort.
My sister could never be Candor.
And there it is! Tell me what you think, feedback is greatly appreciated. I want to know if this is a good idea or not!
