A/N

Now my main character Kellsie is based on Dove Cameron. Now just in case, anyone reading this doesn't know who that is. She plays Mal on Disney's The Descendents and she also played the main character in Liv/Maddie. She also had a role as Ruby Hale on Marvel's Agents of Shield.

The other two characters the appear in this chapter are based on Rajiv Dhall and Miles Teller respectively. Raji had a big role in season 2 and 3 of Tagged. Now for those of you who watched the movies, I know that Miles Teller plays Peter but I loved how much of an asshole he was in it that I couldn't help but picture him for my character Vincent.

Now let's get the chapter going and make sure to let me know what you think.

I gasp for air as I shoot up in the chair after coming out of the Aptitude Test. I wait a minute for my vision to return to normal. I look over at the man who introduced himself as Avery earlier messing with the computer screen while sighing heavily. I take this chance to really look at him out of curiosity since I haven't seen a Dauntless member up close before.

He has a muscular build like most of the Dauntless men I've caught glimpses of. He's wearing all black clothing down to his boots which are also black except the silver buckle. My eyes drift up to his arms that are covered in nothing but tattoos. His tattoos are mostly black with the occasional hint of red popping out as an accent. It's not until he turns around and looks directly at me that I realize he is wearing an actual shirt, not like the tanks that I've seen most wear from a distance.

I turn my head away out of embracement knowing he caught me staring at him. I hear his footsteps move around and the squeaking of rollers on a chair in the room before I see his feet in front of me. I decided to look up at him and pretend stupidity. Since he's not Candor he won't know if I lie. I look up and see a surprised look on his face as if he saw something abnormal.

"Your very lucky Kellsie," he tells me sitting down.

"How come? Did I do something wrong?" I ask with worry in my voice.

"No, but your test almost came back inconclusive. Now that would have been a bad thing for you." He states carefully.

I stay silent, not sure how to respond. As much as I don't want to be in Abnegation it would be just as bad to be Factionless because I'd never get away from Vince. The leaders earlier said that we have to trust the test. So that's what I have to do even if it's not the outcome I want. I gather up my courage and ask him the question that will make or break my life.

"What were my results?" I ask cautiously.

"We'll come back to that. Have you ever heard of Divergence?" he questions me.

I stare at him dumbfounded hoping I heard him wrong. I've only ever heard that word once before and that was in school when they told us that a Divergent is someone who fits into more than one faction. Our society had originally believed that being Divergent was a good thing until it was realized the danger they caused.

It was told to us then that if anyone was found to be Divergent then they were to be taken care of. I knew back then when they told us this information that taken care of meant being killed. My head becomes fuzzy and my mouth dry while my breathing starts to become erratic when it hits me that he's telling me I'm Divergent.

"Hey, calm down and breathe. I'm not gonna tell anyone." He tells me holding my shoulders.

"Your not?" I ask my voice hoarse.

"No. Contrary to what others think. I don't believe it's a bad thing. I have a friend who has saved my life on more than a few occasions due to being brave like Dauntless and intelligent like Erudite." He says in a comforting way.

I relax a little although I'm still not sure how to handle this information. I also don't know whether to trust him about not telling anyone. I hate to admit it but that's one of the few things I admire about Candor. They can decipher if someone is lying to them or telling the truth.

He doesn't say anything else to me for a few minutes. Most likely to let me calm down more and collect my thoughts. I remember him saying that I was lucky when it came to the test and my curiosity gets the best of me.

"You said I'm lucky and that they were almost inconclusive. Why is that?" I ask before I can stop myself.

"Well, I was able to eliminate Amity and Candor easily because of you not choosing the cheese and lying to the man on the bus. I still say that part of the test is stupid. The tricky part came when trying to eliminate Abnegation, Dauntless and or Erudite." he begins.

I can't help the smile that escapes my lips knowing that I didn't get an Amity or Candor result because I know that I'm not peaceful and definitely not honest. But him saying he had trouble trying to eliminate two out of the three other factions makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

"Lying to the guy even though he begged you to tell him the truth should've eliminated Abnegation, however, you tackling the dog contraindicated that because of it being a selfless act." he points to my gray clothing.

I start to hear my heartbeat in my ears at the sound of Abnegation due to never having felt like I belonged there. Yet somehow I end up being selfless to the point where I fit in the faction. My stomach drops at the thought of having to stay there. Especially since it's not the one I want to be in. He looks at me like he can understand what I'm thinking.

"Now even though you showed an Abnegation trait you didn't get it as your final result. Nor did you get an Erudite result like I was expecting because of you figuring out that putting the spines of the books together gets you an Erudite symbol. I have to say I think smart girls are cute." he laughs.

I chuckle at his small comment. Thinking of Erudite though makes me wonder about my mom who was a member before her transfer to Abnegation. I would like to believe that she would be proud that I'm smart like her. That small hope vanishes at the realization that he has still not told me what the results were. My skin begins to crawl because he still hasn't mentioned anything about Dauntless.

"So what does this mean?" I ask scared shitless.

"Well like I said before your results almost came back inconclusive but you ended up showing three traits that lead to a Dauntless result," he replies pointing to the computer screen.

I follow him over to the screen and see that it says Dauntless in big bold letters. I rub at my face waiting for something to change on the screen but it doesn't. I turn away and try to rack my head on how I got that reading if I'm a Divergent. My blood runs cold when a pitch black figure crosses my mind. I look over at him hoping that he can explain before I jump to conclusions.

"I'm confused how can I get a reading and be Divergent?" I ask aloud.

"In your test, you showed a sign of intelligence by figuring out the book puzzle. You also showed a sign of selflessness when you protected the girl from the dog but that is also a sign of bravery. At the beginning of your test, you chose the knife and in the middle of tackling the dog you used it to stop it so those three traits gave you a Dauntless reading." he tries rephasing for me.

"That makes sense but I don't get how you know I'm divergent. You could be wrong." I say frustrated.

"I wish I was because knowing this about you could get me killed too. I only noticed it because of what my friend taught me to look for in a divergent person. Showing at least one sign or trait of multiple different factions makes you a divergent. This, mostly in Erudite's opinion, is believed to be dangerous. So her advice is to not to draw attention to yourself in any way and you have to act and prove yourself based on the faction you choose." he advises me.

"What if I do choose Dauntless tomorrow at the ceremony would that draw attention to me?" I ask scared again.

"Had your results shown inconclusive then yes it would be sketchy but since you got it as a result then no. Even if you stay in Abnegation it wouldn't draw any attention." he pats my hand before standing up.

I stand up on shaky legs trying to keep my composure as I shake his hand. He gives me a genuine smile before walking to the door. Instead of opening it he turns me to him and holds me by shoulders and gets eye level with me.

"Don't tell anyone about your results and don't worry about tomorrow you will make the choice that's right for you. If asked why the test took so long tell them it's because the first time you took the serum you threw it up due to nerves. After about twenty minutes we tried the test again and it worked successfully. We not in Candor so they'll never know." he gives me thumbs up.

I walk out the door and see Vince waiting outside for me. He stares at Avery for a minute before looking at me. I can see in his eyes the anger that I'll be suffering from tonight. I turn to Avery and shake his hand again preparing myself.

"Thank you. I do appreciate your patience today with me getting sick earlier." I say in my most selfless tone.

"Well, I didn't quite have a choice did I stiff. Now get out of here," he replies hatefully.

I walk towards Vincent and begin the walk home. Vince talks away about how it was such an inconvenience for him to wait forty minutes for me to take a test and get results when it should have taken twenty maximum. I bend my head down trying not to drag my feet. For a long day, I had a feeling it was gonna get even longer.
