So sorry for the shortness of these two chapters. I am crying, like legit tears are coming out of my tear ducts right now, bc I just finished book one of the divergent series... ;-; don't wanna mess up my laptop, now do I? *giggles through tears*
We sit near each other in the cafeteria, sitting quietly, listening to the people talk about the aptitude tests, what to expect, and stuff like that.
"You will be taken ten at a time, in alphabetical order, to one testing room." She takes a deep breath and exhales, continuing, "Then, your supervisor will hook themselves up to wires and gadgets that Erudite headquarters have provided, and inject you with a transmitting serum. From there, you will face a few tests, which you are not allowed to talk about. Tomorrow, will be the choosing ceremony, which all of you should know what it is by now. Now, we will begin. Amelia Aere, Bram Agnese, Jonathan Agnese, Brian Agnese..." I stop listening to her call of the first ten names. My eyes wander around the room, connecting with Amity's for a second, then his name is called. I gasp, holding in my words as to not disrupt the calm setting. Everyone is nervous, I can feel it. It's in the air, in the floor, the lights that glow blue, my body. I tremble, 'What will I have to face in the aptitude test? What will happen to Amity and I afterwards? Will we pick the same faction?' I lose myself in those thoughts, for however long it took to get to me, Azkane Woodly.
"...Azkane Woodly, and Vladimir Veas. Right this way."
I swallow, trying to rid my throat of the lump that has obviously formed. My legs follow the nine or ten people in front of me, my feet falling into beat with theirs. I am directed to room nine.
I walk in, hands shaking, eyes darting from side to side. I spot someone near a metal chair.
"Excuse me?" I clear my throat, the person does not turn my way. I raise my voice. "Excuse me, but I'm here for my aptitude test. Are you my supervisor?" The person turns, revealing a face that I recognize, Christina.
"Ah, my young initiate, Azkane!" She runs towards me, wrapping her arms around me as I jump into her arms. "Oh, how I've missed you." Her smile brings back distant memories of when I was a child.
