When I arrive home, I've been given a black leather jacket, a maroon vest, black jeans and black trainers. I'm also given a schedule with all the classes I'll be taking in Dauntless, as well as trading numbers with Will and Christina. It was her idea to create a group chat called "Dauntless Squad!"

I turn my phone off as I enter my house. I know my parents will be really upset when they see me in my Dauntless clothes, but I love them. The jacket seems to be made for me, it just feels right. It's so comfortable, totally unlike the Abnegation uniform. It's tight and it hurts your elbows and knees when you bend them.

I knock on the door, silently praying they won't be too bothered. My Dad opens the door, a smile on his ageing face, full of pride of me joining Abnegation. The smile vanishes. It's been replaced by a look of betrayal, and accusation.

I can hardly bear to see it, it makes me feel like I'm a useless disappointment, but I have to remember – this was my choice. Not Dad's, or Mom's, or Caleb's, mine. And I chose Dauntless.

"B-Beatrice! What have you done this for! You're no reckless hooligan, not my daughter! Caleb joining Erudite was a shock, yes, but this is something else! Get inside!" he says sharply, and I don't hesitate to follow him into the house, closing the heavy grey door behind me.

I sit down at the table next to Mom, and although her eyes seem to hold as much betrayal and disappointment as Dad's, she smiles. I don't think she minds as much as I thought she would. Caleb is already home, and he just sits there in his Erudite clothing gaping at me.

"Dauntless? Really? I thought I'd be seeing you in Abnegation-" he starts, rushing his words.

"I know you all thought I'd join Abnegation, but I got a Dauntless result, and I've made friends with some of the Dauntless transfers anyways. It's just where I belong." I say, raising my hands up in my defence.

"I know sweetie. It's okay, as long as you're happy." She says with a smile. I smile back, and start picking at the bland chicken and peas on my plate. Oh Abnegation, always with simple, plain foods…

After 30 minutes of pained, awkward silence, I excuse myself and look at my phone. It had been buzzing non-stop since I got home, I wanted to know who was sending me messages. The Dauntless Squad group chat. Christina and Will. I lay down on my bed, not bothering to take off my jacket. I like it too much. I scroll up the chat, to see where it started.

Christina: What's up Dauntless?

Will: I'm memorising my way around Dauntless campus, so hopefully we won't get lost.

Christina: Cool, but are u sure u weren't Erudite? Seems like an Erudite thing…

Will: Yeah, I'm sure. I don't like books that much, or constant research. I like action and defending the people I love.

Christina: That's so sweet!

Will: Thanks... So, what are u doing?

Christina: Waiting for the rest of our Dauntless clothes to come in the mail so I can model them!

Will: Hahahahahaha that's hilarious I can actually imagine u doing that!

Christina: I know, I have that stunning model vibe, don't I?

Will: Hahahahahahahahaha sure hahahaha

Christina: OMG do u ever stop laughing? Hahaha

Will: Quit making me laugh then hahaha

Christina: U r ridiculous hahaha

I mentally laugh while reading. I can totally imagine Will laughing hysterically at everything Christina says while writing and Christina laughing at his hysterics. This group chat is already proving to be a promising idea.

Beatrice: Hey!

Christina: Hey gurl!

Will: Hey

Christina: Oh u finally stopped laughing did u Will?

Will: Apparently! So what are you doing Beatrice?

Tris: I love my name and all, but I can't get my new fresh start in Dauntless with a long name like "Beatrice". Just pretend I told u my name was Tris because that's what I'm shortening it to

Christina: Yeah, I think that's better

Tris: Definitely!

Christina: So, whatwere u doing while Will was breaking his ribs laughing?

Will: Really?

Christina: Yes, really.

Tris: Oh, u know. Trying to get my parents to not get super mad and upset over me choosing Dauntless not Abnegation

Will: Ouch.

Christina: That sucks

Tris: I know, I know. Have your other clothes come yet?

Christina: Not yet. They're just the same, we just get rain jackets and a few tops

Tris: Still, I'm loving this leather jacket!

Christina: SAME! We so have to meet tmrw before school.

Will: Yeah, sure. I'll be meeting my new friend Al though'

Christina: No way, I'm friends with Al!

Will: Really?

Christina: Yes!

Will: So are we gonna meet with Al too? In front of the school gates?

Tris: Sounds like a plan!

Christina: What time Will?

Will: School starts at half 8, so quarter past?

Christina: That works for me!

Tris: I'll c u there! Bye!

Will: Bye Tris!

Christina: Bye bestie!

Will: Bestie? Hahahahahaha

Christina: Oh dear God Will not again hahahahaha!

The two set off laughing again, as I put my phone on my dresser. I change out of my new clothes with care, hanging them up in my wardrobe. I change into some simple PJs, grey ones, but their soft, not like the usual Abnegation style. My Mom walks in my room just as I start reading the brochure we were given earlier today about Dauntless.

"Hey sweetie, these came in the mail…I think they're your Dauntless clothes." She says with a smile, and I hear contentment in her voice.

"Thanks Mom." I say, taking the package out of her hands. I open it quickly, and see it is exactly what Christina said. I have another 3 of today's outfits, discounting the jacket and the shoes, a black rain jacket with the Dauntless logo on the back in a shiny silver, and some simple red t-shirts. I hug them to my chest, squealing with delight.

I've chosen Dauntless, and I've made 2 friends who are great fun. I struggle to get to sleep, tossing and turning with excitement for the morning. I can't wait to meet my friends and have my first official day in Dauntless…
