------------

Tris' POV:

My hair. That's another thing I don't like about abnegation.

Maybe I want to wear my hair down, not in a bun all the time. It's all I can think about on the way to the choosing ceremony. We were almost there, and I had no idea what to choose. All I could hear was my father saying what wonderful abnegation members we would be, he even said we might be able to get a job on the council.

I don't believe that will happen.

---- At the ceremony ----

Am I kind? Definite no.

Am I honest? Funny.

What about smart? The test said that, but if I was I would know what to choose.

Like my parents, am I selfless? That's my brother.

Lastly, am I brave? I believe I am, but does anybody else think that?

I snap out of my little daze when my father shouts. My brother had picked erudite. How can I switch now?!?!

"Beatrice Prior" Marcus says from his podium. I know what to pick.

Without hesitation I cut my hand with the knife and place it over the sizzling coals.

I. Am. Brave.

I smile when im going to my seat with the dauntless. I look over at my mom and see her smiling, wonder what thats about.

Then I'm running.

●●●●

I won't say it out loud, but im nervous. Especially jumping on that train. It was fun...

I was happy when I made a friend, her name is Christina. I've also met Al and Will, Chrissy likes Will thats VERY obvious. I can't like anyone like that, but its nit like anybody likes me.

"Oh my god..." I hear Christina say.

"What? What is it? " I say, did someone fall off the train or something? Then I hear Will.

"They're jumping!"

It doesn't surprise me , really. I grab Christina and say "together? " she nods.

It's a good thing that were on the last car (A/N that's what they are called right?)

"My god!" I say, laughing. We're breathless from the jump.

"Okay!" Someone yells. "Initiates, over here!" We all group up around him.

"My name is Max, im one of the leaders here at Dauntless. If you want to go in the compound, you have to jump."

"Is there water at the bottom or something?!" Someone yells from the back. Max just shrugs.

"Whose going first?"

Everybody awkwardly shuffles around for a few minutes.

Oh god if nobody will go...

"Me?" I say, trying to be unheard. He nods me up there.

"Ooh! The stiff is gonna jump!" I hear Peter say.

"Shut up." I yell.

I get up on the side of the building and look down. Well then... I look back at Christina, smile, and jump.

I fall into a net, which incloses around my small figure. Someone pulls the net and grabs my hand.

"Did someone push you?" I hear a guy say, and look up into these blue eyes.

I blush. "No why?" I ask.

"No reason," he says smirking. "Whats your name stiff?"

"Bea-" I start to say Beatrice but stop.

"Is it a hard one?" Says the guy, whose name I don't know, dragging out the last word. "I mean, you can choose a new one if you like, but you can't pick again."

I nod and tell him: "Tris, my name tris."

"First jumper, Tris."

I smile, while they clap. Then I realize that he still has my hand, I pull away but still stand there for some reason. (Aww)

---- Time lapse oops ---

"Okay," he says after everybody has jumped. "Dauntless-born go over there, with her. New initiates stay with me." They all leave.

What is his name, my goodness.

He seemes to read my mind.

"My name is Four, and I'll be your instructor during training."

"What like the number?" Christina asks.

"Exactly like the number." Four says.

I can tell whats about to happen, Christina came from Candor, so she's not going to stop there.

"What were 1-3 taken?" She said sarcastically. Oh god Christina why did you say that...

"Whats your name?" He said, in a very quiet voice."

"C-Christina." I almost laughed at her nervousness.

"Well Christina," he said in the same voice, which was a little scary. "If I wanted to listen to candor smart mouths, I would be in their faction. Right?" She nodded.

Four seems like someone I should stay away from...

A/N sorry this isn't very long my tablet sucks for writing on. How was it? Is Four okay so far?

Update soon ^-^
