I sat on my yellow bean bag that was placed in front of my bedroom window, the sun shone on me brightly but I could still see perfectly fine. I watched the Men and Women laugh with one another while picking out vegetables from the ground as the Children ran away playing games such as tag and hide and seek, I sighed in content with the silence. As I watched everyone smiling in joy I couldn't help but feel jealous, not the type that made me despise them all but the type that made me feel insecure within myself, these people know where they belong and it shows, the happiness and peacefulness surrounds each and every person and theres no doubt that they belong right here. Picking vegetables and fruit to take home to feed their families, I should be out there helping everyone and collecting supplies for my family however the events of today that I had to go through in less than two hours layed heavy on my heart and mind.

The Aptitude test.

I shudder at the thought of it, today would be the day I find out where I belong.

Erudite

"Ignorance is defined not as stupidity but as lack of knowledge. Lack of knowledge inevitably leads to lack of understanding. Lack of understanding leads to a disconnect among people with differences. Disconnection among people with differences leads to conflict. Knowledge is the only logical solution to the problem of conflict. Therefore, we propose that in order to eliminate conflict, we must eliminate the disconnect among those with differences by correcting the lack of understanding that arises from ignorance with knowledge."

The Intelligent. That's the Faction for the know-it-all's, they value knowledge which means many of them are scientists and always have their nose stuck in books.

Candor

"Dishonesty is rampant, Dishonesty is temporary, Dishonesty makes evil possible."

The Honest. These people were brutal whether you liked it or not, they aren't ones tohide their opinions and if you wanted an honest opinion your best bet would be to go to a Candor because they definitely wouldn't let you down in that department.

Abnegation

"I choose to turn away from my reflection, to rely not on myself but on my brothers and sisters, to project always outward until I disappear."

The Selfless. They value the needs of others before themselves. They help the Factionless (The people that have no place in our society) by giving them things such as food and clothing. People often call them Stiffs because they are quite reserved people from what I know, they also have quite a big feud going on with Erudite to do with the Government, however I tend to not pay much attention to that.

Amity

"Give freely, trusting that you will be given what you need... Do not be angry. The opinions of others cannot damage you... The wrong is past. You must let it rest where it lies... You must no longer think cruel thoughts. Cruel thoughts lead to cruel words, and hurt you as much as they hurt their target."

The Peaceful. This is the faction I was born into. We are a very happy faction trying to spread peace and harmony wherever we were. Even the types of clothes we wore told everyone that we were happy and content people. I must say though the whole 'Peace and Harmony' thing has gotten pretty old and kinda suffocatingfor me. We're basically hippies.

Dauntless

"We believe in ordinary acts of bravery, in the courage that drives one person to stand up for another... We believe in shouting for those who can only whisper, in defending those who cannot defend themselves."

The Brave. The best way to describe Dauntless is completely fearless and undoubtedly reckless. They strive to become courageous and practically indestructible, they are our Soldiers. You can often see them doing crazy things like jumping from a moving train and climbing extremely tall buildings for fun.

Today will be the day where I finally find out where I belong which is something I have longed for since I was younger, I knew I wasn't cut out to be Amity. Somedays it would be easy however other days were quite challenging, I had to force a smile on my face and pretend to be happy and I knew people could tell, especially my family. They know me better than I know myself, the amount of times I've been given the peace serum is a little bit unreal. Yes, I was a nice person but if you got on my bad side I didn't hide it. My sister has no trouble fitting in she walked around singing for majority of the day and when she chose Amity it didn't come as a surprise to any of us, I would love to say that I belonged here with my family but I would be lying if I did say that. Which is why it's so hard for me to get up and go to my family and help with the breakfast which is tradition for us, whenever one of our family members are going for the Aptitide test we always come together in the morning to spend time with one another and help cook. The fact that today my life changes scares the crap out of me.

I wipe my clammy hands on my skirt and get up, I suppose it was time to make an appearance. I jogged down the stairs and followed the scent of food to the kitchen where my Mother, Father, Older Sister and Little Brother were. My Sister and I always got told we looked very much like our Mother and I could definitely see it. My Mother had very strong, sharp and unique grey eyes which my siblings and I all seemed to have inherited as well as her midnight black hair,It fell in waves down her back just like mine and my sisters. I inherited the full plump lips off of my Father as well as my nose which seemed small. My body was something I had no idea about because it came from neither my Mother or Father. I wasn'ta very skinny girl but thats not me saying I was fat. I seemed to have very prominent . .curves.I nearly shudder from using that sentence because every part about it disgusts me, a lot of people thought I said it to show off but once they actually saw me they would understand. That's something that I get very insecure about; my thighs, my bosom and my chest and hips.

I was so lost in thought that I didn't even notice that I had sat down and begun to eat with my family until I was nudged by Ethan, my Brother. I looked up unaware that all the attention was on me. "Are you looking forward to the test?" My Mother asked me. I nearly snorted but managed to stop myself just in time. "Not really." I mumble picking at the eggs on my plate. My Father reaches across the table and takes my hand in his, I look into his soft hazel eyes and just from the look he is giving me I know he is telling me that no matter what happens, I'll be okay.

Once breakfast had finished I knew the time to leave was getting closer, I busiedmyself with doing the dishes until there was nothing else to do and it was time for me to leave. I could see plenty of other people climbing into the back of trucks getting ready to take the next step to finding out who they are. I closed my eyes and slowly opened them trying my best to calm myself. "No matter what happens. We will always love you." My Mother said with sparkling tears in her eyes. Once all the hugs were given out I went to join a group, once I sat I watched in the distance as my family waved to me as the mechanism I was on drove further away. Once I could no longer see them I leant back and closed my eyes. I had no idea how long it took to get there I just hoped it was longenough so I could calm myself down.
