I waited for my name and walked up to the bowls picking up the knife and looked at them. A glanced at the five and positioned my hand over one. Sighing a raised the knife and moved my hand at the last second. Drops of my crimson blood dropped to the brown soil. Amity.

Throughout the rest of the Ceremony I thought of what would happen if my hand had stayed where it was first set. Soon I would have been dressed in articles of gray, instead I will be brightly clothed in yellow and red instead. I didn't think I could be completely selfless, selfishness ran in my bloodline.

I was ushered out the door on the train noticing people crying or receiving dirty looks. I saw Victor in the crowd with a smirk, I was surprised he came. I kept a look of no emotion on my face as we boarded the train a girl behind me wiping tears from her eyes and putting on a bright smile.

It was weird when the train stopped completely, I slowly walked on and sat on a plush cushion next to another boy.

"I'm Kevin," he said holding out his hand. His clothes were gray.

I shook his hand, "Toni."

Observing the other initiates in my car. I saw a boy in black and white as well as the girl who had been crying where from Candor. There was a girl dressed in blue who was chatting with the Ex-Candor. Then another person wearing gray with a round stomach.

I chatted with the boy Kevin for awhile before turning to the girls.

I read their name tags, Kimberly and Francescia, "Hey Kim and Fran aren't you a pretty bunch?" I felt sickeningly like Victor but for some reason kept flirting.

"Excuse me but if I was given a nickname I would rather it be Cescia," The Candor girl said with sass, she had tan skin, dark hair, and dark eyes.

"Oh and you must be the self-centered jerk!" The Erudite girl replied, she had jet black hair and sea-green or mint eyes.

"Yes, yes I am," I winked reaching out my hand, even though I had aptitude for the selfless faction. I'm not shallow or anything even though I appeared to be at this moment but both of these girls were quite good looking even the Abnegation in the corner.

"Only my friends can call me Kim," she replied reluctantly shaking my hand.

"Then does this mean we are more than friends?" I asked, but internally I told Victor to get out of my brain.

One of the trainers called out, "Is it me or is there no fighting in Amity?"

So what do I reply with, "Not fighting, flirting." Smooth man your really starting your new life out nicely.

"Maybe you should find another girl to flirt with," Kim said.

So I turned to Cescia, "Hello Dark Beauty," Victor said through my mouth.

Cescia gave me a look telling me, 'not a chance' so I shrugged and turned back to Kim.

"I have a boyfriend," she said.

She couldn't have a boyfriend, anyone in their right mind would break up with someone if they were in different factions, unless if your my brother. There were no other Ex-Erudites so therefore I said...

"And you think that's going to stop me?" and I looked to see how she took this.

"Well, why did you switch to Amity if you have no respect for other people's girlfriends," Kim asked like true Ex-Erudite.

Toni you better go get some ice for that burn I thought and avoided the question. For the rest of the ride I continued to flirt with the girl, something inside of me told me I had too.

A little while later a trainer came out and called different names and I exited the train when Toni was called, thank goodness they didn't say Antoine.

When I was about to reach the gate a man came running at me with a knife. Every fiber of me told me to defend myself but instead I resisted, I was in Amity after all. The man or should I say hologram passed through me and I sighed, Phase 1 of Initiation was complete.
