Chapter 1
Tris p.o.v
Christina and I walk towards the banquet with my mind racing. Will I make it? Will I be factionless? Will I get to stay with Tobias?
When we get to the cafeteria it is utter anarchey. People are standing everywhere screaming and shouting. Its Free. Its Dauntless. But I'm not. I'm not Selfish. I'm not a coward. I'm not stupid. I am selfless. I am brave. I am intelligent. I'm Abnegation. I'm Dauntless. I'm Erudite. I'm Divergent. That nine letter word could get me killed or experimented on, but that doesn't change who, or what, I am. Someone once told me that it's not what you are that matters, it's what you choose to be.
Eric, Harrison and Max stand on the stage raring to go. I think they're just glad that initiation is over and Dauntless will go back to relative normality. Well as normal as Dauntless can be.
"Initiates, Members! Today ten of the initiates that have been working hard to make it here will be accepted into Dauntless and become full members while four of you will leave here and become factionless. Good luck." Max says. Its a brief speech, but I'm sure there isn't much more to say.
The board flashes behind him and my heart gets caught in my throat. I'm first. I made it. I proved them all wrong.

Uriah came second. We all made it. Drew and Molly are factionless and I'm not. I turn and smirk at both of them before I'm engulfed in a bear hug.
"Congrats Trissy Poo." Says a voice I would know anywhere. Uriah.
"Congrats Uri Bear." I say and he releases me before mumbling something about going to find Marlene. I look up to find Tobias standing over me smirking.
"A stiff to rank first. Only the second time in Dauntless history. I wonder who the first was?" He asks sarcastically and I snort in response.
"He must have been extremely handsome and brave. He must have been you." I whisper and Tobias nods.
"You think giving you a hug would give away to much?" He asks and I smirk before hugging him.
"You know. I really don't care." I say and with that I go on my tiptoes and press my lips to his. He kisses back and I wrap my arms around his neck. He wraps his arms around my waist when someone clears their throat. We spring apart and turn to find Zeke (Tobias' friend), Christina and Will standing there arms crossed across their chests, eyebrows raised. Christina is the first to put two and two together because she squeals and tackles me in a hug.
"I knew you liked him." She says and I look at the guys mouthing 'Help Me'.
"I need details." She says pulling me to my feet. I push her and my eyes widen.
"Noooooooo." I say being melodramatic as I hug Tobias. Christina grabs me and pulls me out of the door rambling on about something incoherent. Welcome to Hell.
After Christina grilled me for two hours last night, I started to think about what job I wanted to pick. I have some idea, I know I want to train initiates, but that's only part time, so I'm still slightly unsure.
"New memebers!" Yells Eric and I smirk.
"Today you pick your jobs. First ranker!" Erics yells and I smirk.
"Transfer Trainer!" I yell and he smirks.
"And..." He trails off.
"Tattoo artist." I say and he scribbles it down.
"You could be a Dauntless leader you know?" He asks and I smirk.
"I'd have to spend too much time with you then." I say and he smirks.
"Actually I'm stepping down." He says and I shrug.
"Whatever." I say walking away.
That's when the real Dauntless journey begun and the unsure one ended.
