A.N. #1
Hey readers! This is my very first story on and I am so excited! Before I give you a background of the story let me introduce myself.
My name is Sabiha and I am an Yr8 UK student. I love to read and write as it just a new world that I love to discover. I like to make my characters and give them happy endings (I am not a writer that writes about sad things but I do write it sometimes.) My favorite books are The Divergent Series and The Hunger Games as they are just beautiful books. Here is a random fact about me and The Divergent Series: I have read Divergent and Insurgent at least 12 times but I have only read Allegiant twice. This is because of the ending which made me cry for ages when I first read it. When I read the series, I like to make up my own version of Allegiant and let Four and Tris live a happy ending. Anyway enough about the books, I have 2 brothers and 1 sister and I live a happy life. My aim for life is to make people around me happy and feel loved. No one deserves to be thrown into a world full of depression. I love to bring positivity and I hope this story makes people smile.
Things you need to know before you start the story:
There are six factions in this world: Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, Erudite and Spectrum. Spectrum is based on the world we live in now. This is a place where you can wear any color you prefer (hence the name "Spectrum") and live normal lives like us. All children under the age of 16 live in Spectrum. The aptitude test will tell you which faction you will fit in. Most people get 1 – 2 factions as their results. It is very rare for a person to get 3 factions. It is considered as unusual but is not a problem to the country unlike the actual book.
When the mother is pregnant with a child, she and her partner must leave their faction and go to Spectrum. They are allowed to leave Spectrum when the child is at the age of 13 or they can send their child to live at a boarding school from the age of 10. The motto "faction before blood" does not exist which means that people can travel from faction to faction to meet family and friends. There is no initiation in this story because they are taught the skills and knowledge before the choosing ceremony.
The story starts with Tris, an average school girl that has had good grades and good friends. She and her brother, Caleb, live in a flat together at Spectrum because their parents left when they were thirteen. FourTris will come in the story soon, so don't worry!
I hope you enjoy the story and if you are confused with the faction system and the rules, please PM me and I will explain as clearly as possible. Please also review and comment if you like the idea! Thank you!
