How can a test result be perplexing? Is there any problems with my result? I don't know .

"What does that mean ?" I ask

"In normal case the system will select a result by eliminate other one but in your case , only one has been ruled out." Tori explains

"How is that possible?" I am shocked

Maybe I am not a horrible person . It is a sense of relief

"It is possible but extremely rare. At beginning, you didn't choose knife or the cheese so I can't make sure that you are dauntless or amity. However your result toward the dog told me that you can be erudite . Running toward the dog to protect the girl suggested that you can be amity, abnegation and dauntless . I can't make sure the result for your first simulation so I have to put you on the bus . However even the man told you that truth could save him, then you didn't tell him. Which told me that Candor was ruled out. Don't worry, only Candor told the truth in that one ." Tori exhales heavily.

"What that told you ?" I still don't understand

"You have the equal aptitude for abnegation, dauntless , erudite , Candor and amity." Tori looks around like someone is going to show up."that kind of people who we called divergent."

She drags me up and leads me toward the back door

"Delia, under no circumstances should you tell anyone your test result. Divergent is extremely dangerous" tori's face is plastic pale

"I shouldn't tell anyone about my result anyway." I shrug

"No this is difference. This has to be a deepest secret for you. I will put your result as abnegation verbally." Tori pushes me out of the door ." You better go home now and staying here will not benefit you."

She closes the door behind me . I don't understand why divergence is extremely dangerous . I need to find out the answer but I don't know how . Erudite will not tell me and I can't tell my parent about it.

I leave the school. Abby is waiting for me outside of the school.

"Hey Abby." I smile at her

"You look sick Delia. Are you alright?" Abby touches my face

"I am fine . Let's go to my house but I want to walk. I can't let my parent to know that I get home early." I shake my head." They will ask me question."

Abby nods at me so we start to walk. We hold hand in abnegation so I and Abby holding each other's hand . Her hand is freezing but now it is summer.

"Your hand is freezing. Are you alright?" I frown

"Yeah I am fine . I was nervous that's all." Abby is shivering

I touch her forehead . She is sick. Her forehead is extremely hot.

"You have a fever . I will ask my mom gives you something to drink." I am worried about her

We walk faster . I don't care that they will ask my questions . When we arrive at the Factionless sector, a factionless man grabs my wrist

"Little girl, do you have something to eat?"

I find a bag of dry apple slices in my bag. My father told us to keep food in our pocket all the time for this reason.

"Little girl, you have such pretty eyes but the rest of you are so plain." The Factionless man smiles at me with his yellow teeth.

"We are not small girls. We are 16!" I scream at him

"Oh an erudite ? Then it is a important for you two today, the day before you choose." He says." Choose wisely little girls."

He releases my wrist . I and Abby start to run away. Finally we reach my house.

"Mom." I am calling mom.

"Yes Delia." Mom comes out of the house." Hey Abby, what's wrong?"

"She is having a fever . Can you make her something to drink please ? Thank you." I say

I help Abby to sit down . Abby shakes her head at me

"It's okay Delia. I am fine ." Abby says

"You are not fine ." I am about to cry

My dad and my sisters come out of the house

"Calm down, she will be fine ." Dad tries to comfort me." Your mom is cooking her something. Let her go to your room."

"Okay dad ." I stand up with abby.

I walk abby to upstair into my room. I let her lay down on my bed and put my bed sheet on her

"Is it warmer?" I ask

"Yes thank you Delia. I am not that cold ." Abby says weakly.

"You can take a rest now ." I say

Someone is knocking on the door . Mom comes in with a hot soup.

"When Delia was sick, I always made her this soup." Mom sits down." Delia you can help her ."

I take the soup and start to feed Abby. Abby drinks all of them

"It tasted so good . Thanks ms prior ." Abby giggles" you are such wanderful mom."

"Thank you Abby. Take a good rest." Mom stands up and leaves.

"You have such good parent." Abby sighs." My parent never at home when I am awake , so when I am sick that they will never know ."

I lay down with her . Soon I also drift into sleep as well. I wake up by my sisters shaking my shoulder

"Time for dinner sister." Beatrice says." Abby needs to rest"

"Okay I am coming." I move slowly and quietly.

We sneak out of our room and get downstair

"You are late Delia." Caleb looks at me accusatory .

"My friend is sick so I was with her Caleb." I roll my eyes." Can't you be more patient with it?"

"Yeah Caleb you have to concern for other people more." Dad nods at him

We sit down and eat. Before we eat, dad stretches out his hand to us so he can pray to god's for the food and everything we have . Not all abnegation families are religious but dad said that we shouldn't see those differences between us .

I poke at my chicken breast. I am thinking about what I am going to choose.

"Sister are you thinking about tomorrow ?" Maria grabs my arm.

"Nothing" I say.

I don't want them to ask my anymore questions about tomorrow . I finished dinner early. Dad and mom don't let me to help because they said that I have to think about my option .

I get back yo my room and Abby is awake .

"You are awake ." I sit down beside her ." You can stay at my house for tonight."

"Thank you Delia ." Abby says

We fall into sleep together and when we wake the second day , it is time for us to go.

"How are you with Eric ?" I ask

"We broke up. He was physically abused me . He throws the vase at me." Abby sighs

"How dare is he to do that!" I am angry

Abby shakes her head . I know that she is sad .

"I also did something wrong . It was both of our fault." Abby cries

"Don't cry, he isn't a good man for you. " I rub my eyes

After breakfast, we go to the ceremony together . Sometime , I and my sister don't like to go but this time , I have no choice . My sisters follow behind us . I and Abby walk beside each other

"Don't be nervous. We trust you guys will make good decisions." Mom smiles at us

"Thank you ms prior ." Abby says.

I know that she is also struggling for decisions . However because I am divergent then I am more confused .

We arrive at the hub. It is the tallest building in the city so far . We climb 20 flights of stair to get to the ceremony. When we arrive , all other factions are there already.

"Good morning Andrew." Jeanine walks toward us

"Good morning jeanine ." Dad shakes her hand

"Abby , you are with them? We worried about you so much. You should at least call us." Jeanine looks at Abby

Jeanine Matthew is her auntie . Abby lowers her head

"She was having a bad fever so she stayed with us ." I explain.

"So are you feeling better now Abby?" Jeanine Matthew asks

"Yes I am ." Abby says

We walk toward the last row . We stand behind all the members of each factions. I stand beside Abby because I have to go before her .

"Don't be nervous. Trust your gut ." A girl stands beside me" I am Elizabeth kang."

"Nice to meet you Elizabeth." I shake her hand

"Oh Abby, you are also choosing this year with us ." Elizabeth wanders

Abby looks at her . I don't think that they like each other

"Yes we were in the same faction history class before " Abby rolls her eyes

"Yeah I don't remember you." Elizabeth smirks

The ceremony rotated between factions and this year it is erudite . Jeanine Matthew walks on the stage . She is wearing blue dress and black high heels. She is so pretty . There is a rumour between her and max who is the leader of dauntless

Max is too old for her . Sometime I was thinking that.

"I believe the faction system is a living being and you are the cells which compose of it. I believe our bright future belonged to those people who know where they belong." Jeanine Matthew claps her hand." Delia prior ."

I walk toward the stage . I am scared but I am calm. I look back at my parent. They are both smiling at me .

I walk onto the stage and take the knife from Jeanine Matthew . I walk toward the middle of the room and cut my palm opens.

I look from dauntless bowl to abnegation bowl. Sizzling coal and stone . I lift my hand above abnegation bowl but I shift my hand toward dauntless

"Dauntless."

All dauntless members erupts into shouting and screaming. I walk toward them.

"Welcome to dauntless" a boy stands up and grabs my shoulder

He gives me his seat and walks to the last row . I sit down in the middle of the first row.

"Hello, I am Marlene and this is my friend Shauna ." Marlene greets me

"I am Delia prior ." I shake their hand
