Please review! This is my second fanfiction but I am still not that good! Criticism can help. This will always going to be from Tris's POV unless labeled otherwise.

My parents must hate me. They are sending me to a stupid boarding school that apparently builds character, the only reason they say this is because they went there. I finish packing and close my last suitcase. I hear a knock on my door and open it up to see my mother standing there, "Sweetie, you have a big day tomorrow, you better go to sleep. Are you done packing?" I sigh, she can baby me to no end, "Yes Mom I have finished packing, anything else you need to nag about?" She gives me a look that says, 'Don't use that tone of voice to me'. She walks off after saying, "Go to sleep", and giving me a stern and un-amused look. I take quick shower and let hair air dry. I slide on my pajamas and try to fall asleep.


I wake up that morning feeling relaxed and refreshed before I realize what day it is. It is the day we enroll at Factions boarding school. I quickly get dressed in black skinny jeans and a ruffled gray shirt. I do my make-up which consists of light eye shadow and eyeliner that makes my blue-grey eyes POP. I pull on my combat boots and make sure everything I need is packed. I check my two suitcases, one for clothes(all are there) and the other holds my pillows and sheets I will need for my bed, snacks, and pictures and other knick knacks to make me feel at home. I check my last bag. It holds my baseball bat, my softball, and my athletic clothes. Before I bring my stuff downstairs I check my mirror to make sure I look presentable. I have naturally straight hair that darkens as it goes farther down the length of my hair which goes about 5 in. past my shoulders. I have slight muscles from playing softball so much, I also have a 6 pack. Some people would call me short but I prefer petite. I am not ugly but I am not like the prettiest girl at a school. I bring all my stuff downstairs and my brother, Caleb, loads all mine and his stuff in the car. Without saying a word I get into the car. It will probably take us a little over a day to get to where we are going. The trip is from here, Chicago, to a secluded place in Virginia. The boarding school is unique in school terms. There are five different teams or factions and you get placed in one based on who you are. If you are kind and joyful 24/7 you get put in Amity, if you are smart you get placed in Erudite, if you are selfless and always put other before you, you get put in Abnegation, if you are honest you get put in Candor, and(the one I want to be in) if you are brave you get put in Dauntless. All the jocks are in Dauntless and that is mainly what I am so I would love to be there. I drift off and before I know it we are having lunch at a fast food restaurant. We eat quickly and hop back in the car. I put my head phones in and blast music into my ears. The first song to play is "Demons" by Imagine Dragons and I jam out to the song.


"Are we almost there?" I ask my mom for the fifth time I five minutes. "Yep, there it is." I bolt up and look out my window, the campus looks like an old fashioned college campus. My dad drives to a building that is smaller than the others. That's when I realize that the other buildings are dorms. There must be a lot of students here. My parents usher us out to the buildings entrance and we walk in. Right when we walk in we see a desk and there is a lady in the phone sitting behind the desk. Behind her si a hallway with multiple doors that I assume are offices. My brother and I go sit down. The hangs up the phone and my parents talk to her for a moment before she hands them a sheet of paper that my brother and I will fill out. My parents hand us the clipboards and sit on the other side of the room. I scroll through the imformation I have to fill out. It is mainly emergency numbers and emails but at the top there is one question I have been dying to answer. What faction would you like to be in?(circle one) Abnegation Amity Candor Dauntless Erudite . I quickly circle Dauntless and I feel guilty as my parents were expecting us to choose Abnegation like them. I fill out the rest of the questions and hand the clipboard back to the receptionist. Caleb does the same and she disappears behind a door saying, "Let me just print up your schedule and you will be ready to go. Sh comes back a few minutes later carrying two sheets of paper. She hands them to Caleb and I. I look over my schedule anxiously.

I smile, they value athletics more than smarts. "Building 11, Room 112", I say when my dad asks where to drop us and our stuff off. My dad and mom look at our schedules. My father's face turns red and my mother looks shocked. "DAUNTLESS...ERUDITE? YOU ARE IN THAT FACTION WHEN YOU COULD'VE BEEN IN ABNEGATION?! YOU BOTH DISGRACE THIS FAMILY!" I stand there in shock, my father never raises his voice. My eyes fill with tears but I quickly replace them with anger. I pull my things from the car and pull my map out. Without saying a word I head to building 11.
