Author's Note: Hey there! I took a hiatus from writing, but I'm back on track baby! Wooo! I finished reading Allegiant and had this crazy idea for a fanfic. Anyways, I do not own anything except for Nat and Clarity! And, uh, I kinda wish that I was that extreme of a fangirl. 0/0
Anyways, all rights go to Veronica Roth.
My name is Nat, and Divergent is my life.
Not that I'm trying to outdo you in fangirlyness, but, oh my four, I live and breathe for this stuff. Seriously, I'm gonna be a crazy single cat lady one day, and all my cats are gonna be named after Divergent characters. The best moment in my life was when I ACTUALLY got to meet all of the people acting in the Divergent movie! Squee, right? Or, even, when Veronica Roth signed my Collector's Edition of Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant. I was waiting in line at Barnes and Noble, overnight to buy Allegiant. And, yes, I cried when I bought my copy. I pre-ordered it too, so I can have two of them. And my Divergent merchandise collection is out of this world mint condition.
Whoa, sorry if I seem braggy. But, it's all true.
So, my one dying wish is to live in the Divergent Universe. Honestly, I think I'd be a Dauntless/Candor Divergent. I mean, I only try in P.E. so I could get fit in initiation! And, oh, I'd be total besties with Christina, oh my four. And I have always harbored a crush on Tobias…
Don't tell anyone! Of course, probably everyone has a crush on him. Tris has got some competition! Well, Tris is the only girl for Tobias, but still. My unbelievable bad looks are unrivaled! I mean, acne and nerd frames are in these days!
So, uh, you can totally understand me screaming in horror when I realized woke up inside a Candor household one day.
I know what you're thinking- what bad pacing in this fanfic that has nothing to do with the plot so far oh my four. Well, shut up. It was a literary decision!
It started like a normal day. I was awoken by an alarm clock blaring Flyleaf music. Yeah, Ms. Roth even inspired my music taste too. I slammed it and put on my glasses. I groan, wake up, and survey the bookshelf filled with fiction books, posters displaying the 5 faction symbols, and clothes strewn across the floor. I blindly and tiredly slipped on the white button up shirt and black mini-skirt. I put my hair in a messy bun after brushing it, brushed my teeth, got my backpack and went downstairs and screamed when I saw a woman that wasn't mom.
Startled, the woman looked at me. She was wearing black and white pajamas with the Candor scales all over them. Her green eyes blinked at me accusingly and her red hair was in a mess. For one thing, my mom hates Divergent. So seeing this imposter with Divergent jammies made me uncomfortable. "You know, I thought I looked fine today, but it looks like I was wrong." She said matter-of-factly. "Get a move on Nat; you're going to be late for the Aptitude Test."
"The Aptitude Test?" I said in a squeaky voice. What the faction is going on?
"Yes!" She said sarcastically. "The Aptitude Test. Don't tell me you've forgotten already! The one where you go to school and find out which faction you belong to. And it better be Candor, mind you. I'm a busy woman, I'm not gonna visit you on Visiting Day." The doorbell rang and the lady sighed. "That's Clarity, you're gonna go without food."
Through that, I was gaping. I stood there with a stupid expression on my face, but pivoted around on one foot and staggered out. I opened the door and found a smiling and short girl, I was a head taller than her, really, wearing a long black shirt and white leggings with black ugg-like boots that went up to her knees. She had a white ribbon perched up on her messy brown hair and she shook my shoulders. This must be Clarity.
"NAAAAAAAT! APTITUDE TESTS!" She screamed in my face. She gestured to some white flats. "Put them on brochacho, we're gonna get our destiny today!" She said, putting her arm around my shoulders and gesturing out to the sky as she dramatically said destiny. I hastily put on my flats and walked out.
Lucky for me, Clarity seemed to do plenty of the talking, her face and hands animated as she led the way to school. She was skipping the entire time, but it was all I could do to keep up. This girl was definitely going to be in Amity. The entire walk, I was silently fangirling/freaking the faction out. What is going on?
When we got to the school, I surveyed the crowd. When I saw who I was hoping to see, I squealed so loudly, I got a few stares.
But. Guys, I know this is crazy, but this is 100% REAL.
I SAW TRIS AND CALEB PRIOR!
Tris was making her way through the crowd, trying to hide in her Abnegation clothing. Caleb was going the opposite direction, going to another class I guess. Having read the entire trilogy, I hissed and gave him a glare as he walked by, not that he noticed. I was just standing there dumbstruck as Clarity saw me staring.
"Why are you staring at that Stiff?" She said, standing on her tiptoes to make up for her height. "Brochacho. Earth to Nat?"
When Tris made her way into the building, I snapped out of my daze. "It's actually happening." I muttered under my breath. Clarity jabbed my back, which surprisingly hurt like crazy, and pointed to the school.
"C'mon, let's go! The sooner we get to class, the better." She said, and grabbed my wrist as she pushed her way, and I mean shoved, her way down the hall.
