The Years Before my Choice

by Soccerpup17

I wear the clothes of Abnegation. I have the mind of an Erudite. I can be brave like the Dauntless. I can fight like Dauntless. I have trained for Dauntless with a friend until he left. I will meet him there later and he will wait for me. Or at that's what he told me. I don't belong in Abnegation or a Erudite. But to me, Dauntless is free. Whether he is there not, I will transfer.

3. Chapter 3

Sorry for the short chapters. They won't always be this short. So I've decided to update both of them together because they are so short. Thanks for the reviews, likes, and favorites. This is really fun to do. Enjoy, Asher.

Tobias' Choosing Ceremony.

We didn't train yesterday because his father wanted him to stay home and think and he didn't want to get caught by him. I think about Tobias. This is his big day. We knew it was coming since we started training. Now I won't see him every night. He told me he still wants me to train without him, which I am going to do. He said if he can he will try to come but he doesn't think he will with initiation and his job and he doesn't want to risk anything. Which I don't blame him. I wouldn't want the leaders to think I miss Abnegation or anything either. Faction before blood.

My parents said they were leaving to go to the choosing ceremony. We weren't allowed to go. We still have school. But the funny thing is, being Abnegation, we blend in. So no one know if your missing. They don't make sure we are there in anyway either they just assume we are all there in class. So I decide to go to school for my first class and leave before my second so no one knows I'm skipping. I really want to see Tobias there. Even if I see him and he doesn't see me. Otherwise, I wouldn't care to go or not.

I walk to school with Caleb separating to go to our first class. I'm really excited to skip. When the bell rings I jump from my seat trying to stay calm. I walk to the choosing ceremony just intime to see it start. I lean against the wall by the door just poking my head in hoping no one sees me. Which I doubt they will. I notice it goes by alphabetical order backwards so I sit down until I hear his name.

"Tobias Eaton." I stand up and watch him go up on stage. He grabs the knife and slices his hand and lingers it over Abnegation. What is he doing? Is he changing his mind or is he putting on some kind of show? That's when I notice he looks over at his father and glares. He moves his hand to the Dauntless and his blood drips on the coal. He turns my way and his eyes meet mine as he goes to sit with Dauntless. I smile and he smiles back. Just before the last person is called I run outside before everyone else. I run to the school and see the students are outside some still coming out of the building. I blend in with the crowd and find Caleb talking with Susan and Robert Black, our neighbors. We walk home together and I go straight to my room. I come down for dinner and then go back upstairs falling to sleep.
