I lift my head up from my desk, still groggy eyed from my nap. "Elizabeth!" someone says firmly. Since I just woke up, my brain isn't working normally, so I can't tell whose voice that belongs to. I open my eyes fully and see Mrs. Howell standing in front of me with her arms crossed. Darn, I fell asleep in faction history again.

"You're an Erudite! Why the heck are you falling asleep in class?" she demands. "I can't help it, you're a bad teacher and this subject is boring anyways, and we don't know if I'm an Erudite yet so you can't accuse me of that." I retort. I don't know why I just said that, it seems like I can never keep my mouth shut, well at least it was the truth.

The bell rings and leaves an echo in the classroom. Saved by the bell again. I walk to the lunch room where I meet my friends from Abnegation. "Are you ready for the aptitude tests?" asks Lucy. Darn, I completely forgot about the aptitude tests. "Yeah, of course." I say gritting my teeth. "Liar, you can't lie, it's very easily to catch you." Emily states.

I look down in shame, but when I look up again, a pile of mashed potatoes come flying at my face. I try to duck, but it's too late, I feel a small dash of pain, and then something moist and sticky on my face. "Stop hanging out with the Stiffs, maybe you'll be targeted less!" someone shouts from across the room. Lucy rushes to help me out, but Emily stands up on the table and shouts back at him "There's a reason people aren't friends with Dauntless, they're too mean!".

Emily will definitely be Dauntless, there's no doubt in my mind. She's always been courageous by standing up for people and challenging other Dauntless who underestimate her. Lucy on the other hand will probably be Abnegation, saying she was faster than I was to wipe the potato out of my face.

"So why did you become friends with us, out of all factions?" Lucy asks me. Emily gets back on her chair, eager to hear the answer. "Because I wanted to help you by befriending you, and I think having friends from Abnegation are better than having no friends at all" I answer peacefully. "You're so not Erudite" Emily replies, "That was everything but Erudite.". I sigh, I wonder in what faction I do belong in.

"Could Group 1 of testing please follow me" a woman in a grey robe says into a microphone. "That's me" I say getting up. "Good luck" Lucy says. "Make sure to tell us exactly what happens" Emily replies. I wave, and then walk over to the woman. She leads me and 4 other student down the corridor.
