I was born into Abnegation, though I felt that I didn't really belong. I was sixteen. Which means It was the day of the Aptitude Test, the day I finally was permitted to choose what Faction I will live the rest of my life in. While I finished getting ready I hear "Nathaniel are you afraid?" My dad asks. "No I'm not. I answered. "Were you afraid Dad?" I inquired.

No... I was terrified.

When I arrived at the destination of the Aptitude Test I saw all the Factions lined up and waiting for each and every one them to be called into the room where the Aptitude Test takes place.

When It was my turn to take the test I was greeted by some guy named David. He told me to lay down and to drink this water-like liquid. UGH IT TASTED TERRIBLE!" However I didn't have much time to dwell on it because the scene changed and I was told to choose between a Knife or a cheese wedge to get rid of a hostile dog. I was about to go for the knife when I remembered what my older sister said to me "Nathaniel, remember all you have to do is show signs of submission. " That's exactly what I did.

Then the scene changed yet again but this time it was a man on a bus he was asking me constantly "Have you seen this man?" "It looked exactly like... M-My dad?" Although I told him "No I haven't I'm sorry."

I must say he just kept asking me, over and over and honestly? I just wanted to punch him.

"So I did."

Then the simulation ended and I was back in the Aptitude Test room.

The face I saw on David's face confused me. "Was it sadness?" I thought to myself.

I asked him "ummm David what were my results?"

"Nathaniel. Your results were...Inconclusive.

"Wait WHAT?! This test was supposed to tell me what to do! this test!", I was yelling. Just then David cut me off. "The test didn't work on you!" They call it Divergent. "Wait what were my results?" I inquired.

Your Faction results were Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. He told me. I will put in Abnegation manually into the system.

"Oh Nathaniel listen to me you can't tell ANYONE. EVER." He said firmly.

"O-Okay" I said worriedly.

When I arrived home that evening, I was greeted by my parents. "Hello Nathaniel! How did your Aptitude Test go?" My mom asked me. "It went well I got Abnegation." I stated. Unfortunately for me my mom was Candor so she could tell I was stretching the truth.

"Nathaniel could you follow with me?" My mom asked me kindly.

"Okay Mom." I said.

"Nathaniel? What really were your results?" GAH! How'd I know she was gonna ask that?!"

They were...Inconclusive" I stated honestly.

"What Factions? Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless." I whispered. "Thanks Nathaniel for your honesty.

Later that night at around midnight I couldn't sleep, so I started pacing back and forth in my room. "What am I going to do? I have an Aptitude for Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. Thats three Factions THREE! Which one should I choose? Erudite? No I don't think so I really don't like the leader there. Should I stay in Abnegation with my family? Or choose Daunt- I get cut off by my mom walking in. "Nathaniel? What are you doing up?" My mom asked.

I am just thinking about what Faction I will choose tomorrow. Honey you need to sleep it will all work out in the end. I promise. Oh and for the record Nathaniel... I will love you no matter what faction you choose." My mom says as she walks out the door.

The next morning, I walk out after saying good morning to my family and grabbing breakfast. From there We trod to the destination of the Choosing Ceremony.

Once there we get greeted by the one person I didn't want to see... Jeanine.

I will never forget what she told me.

Choose well Nathaniel.

Once we started the Choosing Ceremony people's names were called, some I recognized and some I didn't. I zoned out until I heard, "Nathaniel Jacobson!" My name.

I got up there and David handed me a knife, I made a gash on my hand and hovered over the Abnegation bowl but quickly changed it over to the Dauntless bowl.

I was greeted by the Dauntless and gave my family one last glance. My mom gave me a small smile. My dad just looked freaking pissed.

I soon followed the Dauntless to the train tracks. Where we had to jump on. I was struggling and this girl came and helped me up onto the train.

"Thank you" I stated and gave her a tight smile. She smiled back and said, "Hi my name's Sarah! Whats yours?"

Ummm Nathaniel. I said shyly.

"We have to jump now!" I heard. "W-Wait what?" I asked. Sarah squeezed my hand and I blushed at the touch, but accepted it. As she said, together? I nodded in response.

"1...2...3!" She yelled over the train. We landed on the building. Not so gracefully I might add. We just laughed.

As we got up and walked hand in hand to the rest of the group to hear a guy named Max I think it was, Say "IN ORDER TO GET INTO DAUNTLESS YOU HAVE TO JUMP OFF THIS BUILDING!" He yelled.

This time Sarah started to sob silently. Surprisingly, I was the one to comfort her... "Hey, Its okay Sarah, we can do this. "MAX!" I yelled. "IS IT POSSIBLE FOR TWO INITIATES TO JUMP TOGETHER?" I asked.

Yes that's fine. He stated.

Okay then I will jump with her. I raised both of our hands. As we walked up to the building. "You ready?" I asked kindly. "Y-Yes" she stammered.

Okay on three. "1...2...3!" I told her.

It was a fall but we landed safely in a net.

We were then greeted and helped out of the net by some guy.

"Welcome to Dauntless. he said.
