I know there are a lot of fan fictions out there with this concept, but it is not a copy. Okay? Also, there will be similarities to the book, but I will almost never quote the book word by word. Some things will not happen, there will be twists, and the final destination might be different from the book, but who knows? The point is, there is nothing you should expect because this story has a twist. That's obvious, though, otherwise it would be boring... Anyway, let's get to the story!

Beatrice's POV

I stood outside my house, waiting on my brother, Caleb, whom stood a little ways away politely chatting with Susan, our neighbor. I had just arrived after, what I would consider to be, a long day of school.

I had no friends there, due to the fact that I wasn't allowed to speak much. It was against Abnegation rules.

But, if I was to be completely honest with myself, I would admit that I have no friends. That time had past.

I slump down on the sidewalk, and carefully unwrap the folded up piece of paper I had stuffed in the pocket of my oversized gray pants.

I had found it on the floor at school. My faction is against taking things when they aren't yours, but it wasn't anyone's. It was just laying there, and me being the curious girl I always have been, I just had to read it. I promised my self that, after I had completely read it, I would return it to the exact spot. I didn't have anytime to read the letter at school, but I had plenty of time now.

We never got time to ourselves in Abnegation, it would be selfish, but I still found a way to make room for some, though it had been against the rules.

It was an article written by the Erudite representative, Jeanine Matthews. It described her thoughts on the previous transfer by Marcus Eaten's son, Tobias Eaten.

Tobias. My heart ached at the thought of him. He had left me, his best friend.

It was a complete shock to me. You think you know your best friend, but then they choose Dauntless of all places!

I thought he liked it here; he seemed happy. I had my whole life planned, and he was in it. My best friend.

I didn't even go to his Choosing Ceremony; instead, I stayed home, cooked, and cleaned. My parents had told me to go, but I believed in his decision. I insisted that I stay, since they were going to have a long enough day without the extra choirs.

The real reason was that I wanted to quickly get done so I could spend time with Tobias. I was never really good at being selfless. I just had to get it over and done with quick, then Tobias and I could celebrate, in an Abnegation sort of way.

Then they came home, and broke the news to me. They spoke to me in a calm tone, like I was a helpless child. I don't like being considered helpless or a child.

"Beatrice, we're sorry to say this, but Tobias," they paused and I tilted my head in confusion. They sound serious, and they really didn't speak to me much about Tobias. "He has transferred."

The words were like a slap to the face; it stung and left me in complete shock. It broke me like glass shatters when dropped; my heart seemed to be ripped into millions of pieces. Was I not even worth a simple good bye?

I didn't receive an explanation either. He just seemed too kind to join such a cruel faction. I didn't think he was capable of hurting someone, but now I know better.

He didn't actually hit me, but the emotional pain felt just as bad as any physical pain could possibly feel.

Every day of school, I would stand by the window, watching the train pass by as several Dauntless jumped off. I just hoped to be able to see him one last time, but he's never there.

I don't know why I expect him. After Choosing Day, the faction is in charge of that specific person's schooling. He's probably too busy with initiation to step out of the compound, even if that was allowed.

I just keep hope as I stare at the countless people flirting with death as they jump off the fast moving train and roll onto the pavement, praying that one of them with be Tobias. If I didn't, I was likely to break down, and I couldn't break down. That would be selfish of me.

I had tried to explain to my parents why this had upset me to this point, but they would always tell me that it was his choice. They acted as though I was being selfish for wishing that my only friend had not left me.

Or at least, I thought he was my friend. What kind of friend just leaves without even giving a good bye? What kind of person doesn't consult their best friend on a huge decision that could change his life, both of their lives?

It may have been against the rules, but honestly who cares! Had he said something, just even a simple 'bye' I wouldn't have been so upset, but the words were left unspoken.

The article basically just accused Abnegation of being 'unfit to run the government' and stuff like that. I didn't read through much, because it was just too upsetting.

I stood up, clumsily dropping the paper and it blew off in the wind. I sighed and walked into the gray building I call home, though it would most likely be temporary.

Maybe in two years time we will be reunited once more. I've made my decision; I will choose Dauntless. I will win back my friend.

There's chapter one! It's mostly an introduction, but it lets you know what has happened so far.. It will get more interesting, I promise. Anyway, review and let me know your opinions on this story so far!
