"Divergent?" I ask, feeling ready to puke. "Yes... I've never seen it before. It shows aptitude for abnegation, dauntless, amity, and erudite. Not even Tris Prior had aptitude for ALL factions. Stay so no one can suspect. Name again?" I recover slowly. "I-i'm Skylar Prior." She looks at me again. "Oh God... Prior?" I nod, and retreat back to the cafeteria. I fall into my seat, Jayce giving me a look. I bury my face, and only one thing runs through my head: divergent. Oh my god how could this happen? That test was supposed to tell me what faction to choose, because Abnegation... Well let's just say I don't fit in very well there. I wear edgier clothes that makes them gasp. I'm outspoken, and actually like to talk. Abnegation don't usually have friends but I have quite a few- along with my best friends, Dahlia, and Jace. Jace fits in, Dahlia fits in. And I've always felt i was born in the wrong faction. Then I think back on this morning. Tris is my sister. More like was... But- what was going through her head after this? And she chose dauntless. Was it because of she didn't fit in. A small voice at the back of my mind whispers, "Follow her. She knew what she was doing, Skylar!" I shake my head, and Jace nudges my arm. "We stick together." He says, looking me in the eye. "Yes." Dahlia chimes in., "You go up first, Skylar. You choose your faction, we follow. Even if we are transfers." She says with a tight smile. "Time to go." Says Jace, and we make our way to the bus, in small, orderly lines. Erudites jab an abnegation in the arm, and tease him. "Look ahead. Skylar, no!" Dahlia shouts in her quiet voice, but I surge back to the Abnegation. "Stop it." I say, And the erudite boys roll their eyes. "Whatcha gonna do about it stiff?" One of them says with a smirk. I bring back my arm, and punch him square in the jaw, him getting knocked to the ground, and his friends scramble away. I strode back to Dahlia, and shakes her head. "Skylar! This is abnegation, not dauntless!" I shrug, and slide into a seat on the bus, Dahlia giving up her seat for a Candor woman, and Jace for a amity man. I sit, looking out the window, silent until the bus stops in the middle of the abnegation village. I get off, and run into my house- dark, and gray. My "Mother" greets me at the door. "Dinner is at the table, Skylar." I nod, and silently retreat back to the table where my Mother, and father sit. I don't talk- I'm not allowed to, unless called to talk. "How was it?" My mother asks. "Um...it was alright i guess, " I say, nibbling on a roll. My Mother nods, but says, "Whatever you choose Darling, we will still love you." I nod, a lump in my throat, until I sag, "Excuse me." I dash to my room, and shut the door, and sob, mind blank until I fall asleep, knowing I will never fit in here...
