I sit... still as a rock. my future is determined by the blood in my palm.

"Hello Everyone!" Janine states "welcome to the choosing ceremony, today you will be determining the faction you will stick with for the rest of your life. to do so you will take this knife and.."

Her words trail off as Ali nudges me and asks "hey hunter, you okay?"

"Yeah Ali, but I'm not so sure what to do."

"What did your aptitude test say?"

"Dauntless." i say.

That's a lie, my results were "inconclusive" I'm divergent but I say dauntless because that's what I'm leaning towards. there's no way I can be in candor anymore for Pete's sake I just told a lie to my closest friend.

"What about you?" I ask

"Abnegation" she replies frowning slightly,"but I'm not selfless"

that's true beyond her knowledge.

The first name is called

NICKY G

Nicky is the most selfless person I know he has to be abnegation.

I close my eyes and hear the sizzle of the coals and know I'm going to see him in initiation.

BRIANNA S

Brianna picks dauntless too

COLETTE P

Colette picks dauntless

This follows with Nicky jumping up and screaming "YASSSS"

We all look at him

"What the fuck Nicky??" Brianna screams

We laugh

ALI T

Ali picks amity

KAYLA J

Kayla picks abnegation

This one kid bursts out laughing and says "I'm sorry Kayla, you're just the comedian"

JENNA ROSE

Jenna picks dauntless

PAIGE B

Paige picks candor

I agree she tells it like it is...

HUNTER H

My stomach drops

HUNTER? where's hunter?

I arise from my seat

I walk up to the podium slowly

"C'mon walk a little faster fatass!" someone yells

Everyone stares and says,

"FUCK OFF GLEN COCO"

I grab the knife and cut my hand

My blood drips onto

The carpet

I feel bad that I just bled on carpet so I scream "SORRY ABOUT THE CARPET!"

my blood drips into the coals. And sizzles and smokes away into evaporation.

My fate is sealed

I'm screwed.
