Today was the test, the test that was gonig to change their lives forever. From what Cordelia Abrams heard, is that you are put through different simulations to figure out what faction is best for you and where you belong. By the end of it, the decision was yours. But you have to make sure you choose wisely. Cordelia, a feisty girl from Candor where honesty is the best policy. And was this girl honest, sometimes her mouth got her in trouble. But it was the Candor way to be honest and keep the truth out in the open. Cordy hadn't known if Candor was where she truly belonged. In just a half of an hour was when Cordelia had to be put to the test and see where she is destined to be. "Cordelia, come on. We don't want to be late." her mother called up to her. She grabbed a bejeweled white pin and twisted her hair into a loose bun. She continued to stare at herself in the mirror, she loved the mirror. Sounds a bit selfish, but hey girls gotta love a mirror. Definitely not Abnegation.
She took her time to get downstairs to the kitchen. She could smell the toast and scrambled eggs that were on the counter top. Colton, her brother, was already attacking his food. "Damn Col chill. Your eating your eggs like they are going out of style." Cordy snapped at him, reaching for a piece of buttered toast. It didn't take long for her to get full, even though most of her food was still on the plate. Probably the nerves she thought.
As they made their way to the testing center, kids their ages were walking passed them. Some in Abnegation grey, some in Euridite blue. Looked like a collage of colors. Colton held Cordelia's hand as tight as he could, she could tell he was a bit more nervous than her even though her heart was racing. They headed to the line where the rest of Candor was. They could tell from the black and white outfits people wore. The line was pretty lengthy but the managed to make it to the front in no time. Time seemed to go by and things were quiet until they heard a loud ruckus. The train filled with Dauntless teens made their way to the testing center as well, all jumping off.
Cordelia was always jealous of them, she'd love to try something like that. But her mother forbid her from doing anything dangerous like that. A part of Cordy wished she was Dauntless, but she feared what her parents would think of her if they caught her climbing things and jumping on and off trains.
When it was finally her turn she entered a testing room. People wouldn't be frightened of the place but her arms sprouted goosebumps and she started to shiver. "Hello Cordelia Abrams. You ready?" the tester asked. "Lie down please." Cordy walked toward the chair, looking at the instuments around the chair. She hopped right up and laid back. "Alright let's begin." she muttered, injecting Cordy with a serum. She passed out immediately and the simulation began.
It felt like forever but when she woke up the testing administrator grabbed her by the shoulders. "You alright?" she asked. Cordy looked around, breathing heavily. Nodding, Cordelia sat up.
"Yeah I'm good." she said. "So what are the results?"
The administrator sighed and looked at Cordelia. "You had some good signs of Candor, but you were Dauntless the majority of the time. The test doesn't lie." she explained. Cordelia looked off into space, she had no idea what she was going to do. Candor and Dauntless. The choice was now in her hands. She quickly hopped off the chair and looked at the administrator. "Hope your decision is a wise one."
Cordelia sighed, pressing her palm against her forehead. She didn't know what to do. "Me too." she muttered, walking out of the testing center. "Me too."
