Chapter 1: Four Years Later

Tris

I finish locking the cabinets in the science classroom when I feel Zeke wrap his arms around me. Smiling I think about how close we became in the past two years.

I lean my head back as we walk towards the trains and ask the question that has bothering me since this morning "what were the results of your aptitude test Zeke?"

Zeke shrugs his shoulders and says "were not supposed to talk about them Beatrice."

"Well, do you know what faction you will choose at the ceremony tomorrow? I say.

"You already know that's it's always been Dauntless Beatrice" He murmurs "Which is why I won't be able to talk to you anymore" he says sadly .

Smiling at the pain in his voice I say "of course I do, it's always been Faction before Blood, Ezekiel. I just hope that you won't forget our friendship when you're with your new Dauntless friends."

"I would never forget you Bea, your my little sis, I'll always remember you. Remember what we promised though. I'll see you in two years." he says trying to hide the tears in his eyes.

"Be careful" I whispered as I watched my best friend jump onto the train.

Zeke

I stand watching the rest of the dauntless kids jump the train. My mind whirls around with a thousand emotions. The results were Inconclusive. Dauntless or Abnegation. Bravery or Selflessness. Divergent.

I walk towards the science classroom and see Bea looking the cabinet doors. Study her for a moment. She grew about 6 inches, but with my growth spurt she barely comes up past me elbows. Her dirty blonde hair is pulled back into an abnegation bun. She wears a grey sweater over a grey dress.

I walk over and wrap my arms around her. Standing there I quickly remember how long it took me to get her to overcome her abnegation fear of contact. Releasing her we walk towards the trains.

I watch as Bea leans her head back and asks "what were the results of your aptitude test Zeke?"

I shrugs my shoulders and say "were not supposed to talk about them Beatrice" not wanting her to worry about how dangerous my results are.

"Well, do you know what faction you will choose at the ceremony tomorrow? I hear her say in a quiet tone.

"You already know that's it's always been Dauntless Beatrice" I murmur "Which is why I won't be able to talk to you anymore." I say sadly, knowing that the rule Faction before Blood was stupid.

Lost in the pain of having to leave her for the next two years I barely hear her say "of course I do, it's always been Faction before Blood, Ezekiel. I just hope that you won't forget our friendship when you're with your new dauntless friends"

"I would never forget you Bea, your my little sis, I'll always remember you. Remember what we promised though. I'll see you in two years" I say trying to hide the tears welling up in my eyes.

"Be careful" I hear her whisper as I jump onto the train.
