Hi y'all. It's moi (obviously). I don't think you guys understand how much happier it makes me every time I check and my number of reads goes up. Writing is one of my passions and I really hope that I can get more feedback on this. I'm begging you guys to comment even if it's criticism. Anyways, enjoy this chapter!

Cassidy's p.o.v.
Right before the train pulled into the station my family jumped off and rolled down the grass. Instead of following their lead, I decided to just stay on the train until it stopped. I knew my father would look at me with his 'disappointed parent' face and just sigh. It used to make me feel guilty but these days it doesn't faze me. Why should I feel guilty about being who I am? The train stopped right in front of the Hub and I was swept out along with everyone else going to the ceremony.

I got inside before my parents and sister so I went to find our reserved seats. Thankfully I was seated next to one of my best friends,  Angie. I whispered a quick greeting to her and she mustered a smile in return. I knew she had a lot on her mind today since her brother was choosing and he hadn't told any of his family which faction his aptitude test had shown results for. She was scared because if he picked Amity, which she suspected he would, their father would fly into a rage. Angie's father was known for hating everyone and everything related to Amity.

My father went up to make a quick speech about how today the 16 year olds were the "future of our city" and some other bs like that. Every year the speech is basically the same so I didn't bother listening. I pretty zoned out when they began calling names but perked up when I heard a name I recognized.

"Tobias Eaton," my fathers voice boomed out through the speakers. I knew who he was. How was Marcus Eaton's son. Mr. Eaton regularly came to the Dauntless library to meet with my father and the other faction leaders. I watched as Tobias walked slowly towards the bowls with the knife in his hand. I noticed that he had a small bruise on the side of his eye like from a punch. 'It was probably nothing', I thought to myself. Tobias had a grim look of determination on his face as he quickly walked over, cut his palm, and let it sizzle on the hot coals in the Dauntless bowl. The Dauntless members behind me roared in approval as Tobias walked over to sit in the Dauntless section. I hadn't thought about it till now but he was really attractive. Tall, tan for Abnegation,  strong jawline. I mentally gave him an 8 out of 10.

The next person to pick Dauntless was named Eric Jai. (I don't know Eric's last name so I used Jai because Jai Courtney is the actor that played Eric in the movies.) He was hot too. More muscular than Tobias and he looked tougher. He walked confidently towards our section but I had seen him hesitate when choosing. He had stood above the Erudite bowl but moved he's hand at the last second. He was wearing a dark navy suit. When he sat next to Tobias I could see the stark contrast between them. Tobias in his humble Abnegation gray clothes, and Eric in his crisp Erudite suit. But it didn't matter, because they were both Dauntless now.

That's it for today guys. This book has almost 50 reads and I'm really surprised that many people actually clicked on my crappy story. Anyways, anyone or anything specific you guys want me to include in the story? Just comment them here. Remember to vote and add to your libraries! Stay fabulous!- Vivi
