Divergent: 5 faction high

Chapter 1

I roll out of bed in the darkness. I walk over and pull back my blinds, letting light flood the room, blinding me so I have to blink and pull away. I hear footsteps behind me and turn around to see my mother standing in the doorway.

"I see you are up bright and early Tris. You excited for the first day of school?" She says excitedly but softly because my brother Caleb is still snoring away in the room next to mine. I shrug at her question.

"Not really. Every year is the same. The 'oh look at the stiff!'. It gets really old" I roll my eyes and notice my mothers frown when I say the word 'stiff'. She walks over and hugs me close, kisses my head and whispers in my ear that I will be fine then disappears back down the hallway. I pull one of my usual grey, ill fitting outfits out of my closet and throw it on. I run my fingers through my hair before pressing the button to open my mirror and quickly scan my eyes over my appearance knowing that I only have seconds before the mirror door will shut again. Part of being in abnegation, one must never look too long in the mirror.

It's finally time for school and I get to the train stop nearest to my home with Caleb and try not to make eye contact with any of the other kids from other factions. Soon I will take the aptitude test and will be able to choose which faction i am in. I find myself staring straight into the eyes of a boy from dauntless. I quickly divert my eyes and he snickers. He seems a year or two older than I but he was really tall. Finally the train starts to slow as we approach the school. All the dauntless (including the boy) now start throwing themselves off the train.

"The dauntless are nuts" Caleb whispers to me.

"I don't know... Seems kind of fun to m-" I am cut off by the astonished look on his face. the train then comes to a full stop and I quickly exit the train and enter the doors of 5 Faction High.
