"Well, there are five factions. There is Abnegation. They are selfless, and they forget themselves for the sake of others. The jobs they do are like care workers, etc. Then there is Candor. They are known to value honesty. The jobs they do are judges, lawyers, etc. There is Erudite. They are dedicated to knowledge, intelligence, curiosity, and astuteness. The jobs are scientists, teachers, etc. There is Amity. They are dedicated to peacefulness, kindness, forgiveness, trust, self-sufficiency,and neutrality. The jobs are farming etc. Lastly, there is Dauntless. They are dedicated to courage, bravery, toughness, and fearlessness. The jobs are police officers, jail guards, protectors, etc." She said to us. "We will be heading to Amity first."
We walked up to a half-circle doom. It had all different types of trees in there and around the doom. We walked into it and saw that everything was open. People walked around in orange, yellows, greens, and bright red. Everyone was smiling and laughing.
"Welcome to Amity." A woman said. She must be the head of Amity. She said her name, but I couldn't hear her. She showed us around.
"Where do you guys eat, sleep, and everything?" I asked.
"There are different buildings for the students to live in. Where we are just this way." She showed us a cafeteria that is covered with tables and everything they need under it. "There are bathrooms in the builds for the students." She showed us a few more things, and we left.
"Thank you for showing us Amity." My mom said.
"You're welcome. Hope you pick the right place." The Amity head said. Then we walked to the faction.
"The next faction we will be going to is Erudite." She spoke. We walked to a building with all the windows. It looked all fancy and clean. It was so different from Amity.
"Welcome to Erudite." A man said, opening the doors for us. I looked over and saw my father's face. He was not happy to walk in here. Then I saw Celeb's face. He looks happy. He looks like he is home. Everyone was walking around wearing blue and black. The head of Erudite showed us around. We walked out. "Hope you find pick where you belong." He spoke.
"Now we are heading to Candor." The Headmistress said, walking in front of us. We got to another building. But what was different from this building is that Candor's building is not made of glass. It has a few windows but not a lot. We walked into the building. A man walked up to us.
"Welcome to Candor." A man in a black and white suit came up to us. He showed us around Candor. Nothing was exciting here. It was just a debate, and everyone was wearing black and white. When we got done, we walked out. "Hope you make the right decision." He smiled at us.
"Abnegation is one second to last stop." She spoke. We walked up to rows of grey buildings. They all looked the same. People were walking around wearing grey clothing. Then, another man walked up to us.
"Welcome to Abnegation." He said to use it.
"Thank-you. It is nice to be back to where I learned everything." My father said.
"You were from Abnegation?" The man said.
"Yes. Both my wife and I went here." My dad said.
"Well then. Welcome back. If you follow me, I will show you what Abnegation has for you." The Abnegation head said. It was all the same. I wanted to get away from all of this. This was how I was raised. "Hope you find the faction that fits you." He said to us.
"Our last stop will be Dauntless." She spoke. We got to this beaten-down building. I looked at it with big eyes. She led us to a staircase. It was amazing. It just felt right. We got to the bottom, and a man with tattoos stood there waiting for us.
"Welcome to Dauntless. My name is Max. I am the head of Dauntless." Max said to us. "Follow me, and I will show you Dauntless." We walked through the Dauntless. Max told us that Dauntless uses tunnels to get places. Also, to get to school, they take a train. I looked to my left, and there was a fight going on. "Here is our little fitness room." He told us. I was looking around. There was a lot to see. Then I saw someone, he was kind of cute.
"Four, can you help me here?" Someone yelled. The guy I was looking at was named Four. Why the name Four? When we finished the Dauntless tour, we returned to the staircase.
"I hope Dauntless is something for you because every day is different." Max said, smiling at me. I smiled back. We headed back to the school.
"So, you saw all the factions. Now you say goodbye to your parents, and I will take you to the chosen ceremony. Don't worry, you will see them on visiting day." Headmistress Matthews said.
"You guys are going to love it here. Whatever faction you pick, you will love you no matter what. Love you. Have fun. Behave." My mom said. They both gave us a hug goodbye. My mom kissed us both on the top of our heads. Then we turn to the Headmistress.
"So first, I will give you guys your results." She said, handing us a piece of paper. I looked at my paper. My results were Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. What, why three?
"I have three results. Aren't we only post to get one?" I asked her.
"Yes. But you are different. We call people like you Divergent. Divergent gets more than one result. Most Divergent get two. It is extraordinary getting three or more. Now you know your results. Come with me to the choosing ceremony." She told us.
She led us to a room full of every faction. There were bowls with items in them. Looks like coal for Dauntless, stones for Abnegation, glass for Candor, water for Erudite, and dirt for Amity. "Welcome factions to the choosing ceremony. Today, Celeb Prior and Beatrice Prior will be choosing." I looked at Celeb. He looked at me. "First up is Celeb Prior." Celeb walked up to him. She handed him a small knife. "Erudite." She yelled. All the Erudite clapped their hands. Celeb joined them, putting something on his palm. "Beatrice Prior." I walked up to her. She handed me the same small knife. She motioned me to lightly cut a line on my palm. I looked down at the bowls to see Abnegation and Dauntless by each other. My hand was over Abnegation, and my blood almost fell into the bowl. I quickly moved it too Dauntless. "Dauntless."
She handed me something to put on my hand. I then joined Dauntless. They are yelling, whooping, and clapping. I smiled to myself. Someone got up to give me a spot to sit for a while.
"You can now go back to your factions. Have a great day." She said, and everyone left. The Dauntless started to run down the stairs. I follow them. Luck, I am used to running. I used to run with Austin always. They ran to the train tracks. We all stood there in a line, waiting for the train. I looked over to see it coming, and everyone ran again.
"Come on." Someone yelled at me when the train went past me. I started to run again to keep up with it. Everyone was jumping onto the train. I ran fast to get closer. I then grabbed the handle and lifted myself onto the train. I sat down on the floor. I turned to the person next to me and smiled. She smiled back at me.
"Hi, my name is Christina, but everyone calls me Chris." Chris said to me.
"Nice to meet you. Beatrice." I said, shaking her hand. Then we both stood up and lent the agents the wall. We stood there for what felt like half an hour before I heard someone yell,
"Get ready." Then people jumped off the train. I looked out the door and watched people jump out of the train to the top of a building.
"They are jumping." I turned to see Chris's face.
"Yeah. It is a rush." She smiled at me. "Here, we can jump together." Chris said, handing me her hand.
"Okay." I smiled, taking her hand. "On the count of three." I spoke.
"One." She yelled.
"Two." I yelled.
"Three." We yelled in unison and ran to jump. We landed on the roof. I landed on the roof with a thud. Chris got up and gave me a hand up. I whipped myself off and walked over to the group that was forming. I walked to the middle of the group to see what was happening.
"Hey!" A guy with short hair and tattoos on him. "My name is Eric, and I am a leader. All of you know that, but whoever didn't know now knows. So is going to jump first." He asked us. Everyone looked around to see who was going to volunteer first.
"I will." I spoke up. Everyone was moving out of my way so I could get through. I walked up to the ledge. I looked down to see if I could see anything. The only thing I noticed was darkness.
"Any time now, newbie." Eric said. I looked over at him and then looked about down. Okay, don't think, just jump. That is what I did. I just jumped. When I landed, I landed on a net. The next thing I knew was the hands helping me down. I looked at the guy I saw when I toured Dauntless. It was the guy named Four, I think.
"What is your name?" He asked me.
"Ummm…" I said.
"If it is a hard one, you can change it. Pick one. You can only choose once." He said, looking at me.
"Tris." I said to him.
"Tris, first jumper." He yelled to the crowd. Everyone cheered and clapped. When everyone came down, they went to do their own thing. Then, a girl came up to me.
"Beatrice?" She asked me.
"Yeah. But it's Tris now." I said.
"Okay. I am Lauren. I am a leader. I will be showing you to your room." She said.
"Thanks, Lauren. What about my stuff?" I asked her.
"It's already there." She smiled at me. "Follow me." She said, walking away. I followed her. When we were walking, I looked around. "This is the Pit. This is where everyone hangs out." She said. Then, lead me to a staircase. Then she led me to my room. I walked into the room. One bed was already being used. Then, someone walked in. I turned around to see Chris.
"Yayyy! You are my roommate." Chris said.
"Yeah, it looks like it." I said to her.
"Well, it looks like my job here is done." Lauren said.
"Thanks, Lauren." I said.
"Yeah." She said, leaving.
"Beatrice, right?" She said, smiling.
"Yeah, but I am going to go by Tris." I said.
"Cool. Do you want any help unpacking?" She asked me.
"Yeah, that would be nice. Thanks," I said. Then, Chris starts to help me unpack. We went down, and it was time for dinner. We walked to the cafeteria. We walked up to a group of people. Chris took a seat. I sat by her.
"Hey guys, this is Tris. Tris, this is Will, my boyfriend. Edward, Myra, Uriah, Zack, Lynn, Shauna, Marlene, and you already know Lauren." She said.
"Nice to meet you guys." I said. Everyone was making their plates. I looked at the meat, potted it, and then put one on my plate.
"What, never seen a hamburger ever?" Chris asked me.
"I have seen one but never really had one." I told her.
"Let me, guys, parents are annihilated." Will said, looking at me.
"Yeah." I said to him. I looked over to the guy near me. I then turned to Chris. I whispered in her ear,
"Who is he?"
"Four." She whispered back to me.
"How do you know my parents were Abnegation?" I asked him.
"My parents are Erudite." He said.
"Like my parents are Candor." Chris told me.
"Myra's and my parents are Amity." Edward said.
"Why are you talking about your parent's factions? You are Dauntless." Four said.
"What were you? Transfer or born?" I asked him. Everyone at the table looked at me like I was crazy.
"Why are you talking to me?" He asked me.
"Because you are so approachable." I said to him.
"You better be careful." Those were his last words to me. He then took a sip out of his cup. I turned back to the group.
