Albert's 16th birthday, the day he takes his test. I'm nervous will my little boy stay or leave me? " mom! I'm leaving!" Albert shouts, he's handsome like his father, short black hair, green eyes and about 6"1.

------------Albert's POV-----------
I shut the door and run to the tracks, I remember my first time on the train, when I was 5 dad taught me. I hear the train whistle, I start running when the cart is near I jump and slam my hand on the open button and climb in, suddenly I see my best friend, Jessi, late again, she also not one of the fastest dauntless I reach for her hand, it's warm and sweaty, she's a lot like her mother Christina, my moms best friend.
"Thanks Al, after the test my mom said I can get a tattoo, wanna come?" she asks,
"Uhhh yeah sure." I respond

I can see the school in the distance so I get ready to jump. The train wizzes around the Corner and I jump an roll on my shoulder to help my landing. I run in to line with Jessi and the rest of the dauntless.
Today is the day and I'm scared will I be like my parents, am I brave, am I selfless, am I smart, am I peaceful or am I honest?

The open the doors and we take a seat, a lady, short blond hair, slightly curled in at the ends and dress in erudite blue carrying a clipboard. she speaks up.
"Today you will take a test to find out where you belong in each of the 5 factions. Don't choose where you want to belong and don't always choose where the test says you belong. You are the only people that truly know yourself." at this point a few amity girls start to cry, with nerves I guess. But I'm nervous too my palms are sweating, and I'm cold and shaking. The lady calls out names. "From Amity, Adrianna cooper please go to room 1, From candor, Ashley James please go to room 2, from erudite, Adalyn Brior please go to room 3, from Abnegation, Sara White please go to room 4 and from Dauntless, Albert Eaton please go to room 5." I stop an stare at the wall, for a minute I forget how to breathe.

I walk in, the rooms walls are mirrors and in the middle there is a chair, like a dentists chair and a woman, about 26 dressed in a orange flowery dress with a red belt and yellow heel, her hair is bright ginger.
"Hello, please take a seat! My name is jasmine, you must be albert" I nod.
"Yes that's me!"
"Great, okay, drink this for me please." I grab the clear glass shot glass from her hands noticing a heart tattoo on her knuckle.
"Um can I ask if your amity why do you have a tattoo? did you transfer?"
She responds with " yes I did, it was to violent for me" I chuckle.
I swallow the liquid not knowing what it was in one big gulp. my eyes flicker as they shut and when they open I'm in a white box full of small pedestals with black plates on them, on the plates are knives and cheese, I suddenly hear a voice,
"Choose now!" I hesitate but ask why with the voice not saying anything. out loud in say "okay so I won't get an answer so I might just pick" and my hand slides over to the butterfly knife, I remember my father taught me how to flip them, I start to flip as the scenery changes and the knife disappears from my grip. I'm on a bus, someone is doing a crossword.
"Excuse me sir, could you help me with this?" he asks, I look around, " me?" he nods "uhh yeah sure, 6 across is radiation" he smiles and writes it down.
I'm back in the room, "I have your results, I only gave you 2 simulations because I had a feeling the results would come back quicker, and they did and your results are, Erudite and dauntless and abnegation."
I'm confused, this impossible, I'm divergent and I cannot be controlled.......
