My mother always gets to cut my hair the first Wednesday every five months.  I watch the only mirror in the house, seeing my strawberry blonde hair fall into a pile on the ground. In my faction, Abnegation, the only thing we're aloud to do is help the faction less and everything "selfless". Today is the test to see what faction is ours. I'll be glade when it's over. "Tonight for dinner we're going to the Priors for dinner." She says, smiling at me in the mirror. I look at myself. Today I'm Elizabeth Snow. Tomorrow that might change into something else. I'll know tomorrow.
I get up from the stool as mom closes the mirror. She kisses my forehead and walks upstairs. I think about the Priors and how they're "old friends". I also thought about how their son and daughter left them a few years ago. Along with Marcus's. I believe the papers saying that he beat up his son. He beated me one time. I have the marks to prove it. I go to my room, happy I'm an only child. I lie down, reading a math book.
My mom announces that it's time to go to the Priors. We walk to their house and I sit down and stare at my plate, not eating.
****Testing****
I walk into my room. "I'm Carl. I'll be watching you test today." The man says. I stare at the ground and walk to the chair. He puts something on my head and his.
I wake to mirrors all over. "Choose." A voice says. I see cheese and a knife. "Um..." "CHOOSE!" She yells. "For what?!" I Ask nervously. "I said choose. I grab both of the things. Everything disappeared on the plates. I see a dog and throw away the knife with the cheese. It licks the cheese and became a puppy. It runs into my arms. A girl comes in. "PUPPY!" She squeals. She runs to it and the dog almost bites her before I grab the knife and kill it. I feel a pang of guilt wash of quilt over me. I wake and see Carl behind me. "Your reasults were inconclusive. You were Dauntless, Candor, And Erudite." He says. "Leave, tell no one your results, and say you were sick.
****Choosing Ceremony****
Marcus goes up stage and says his speech. "Jackson Maril" "Dauntless!" A bunch of Dauntless explode. "May Eve." "Candor." The Candor applaud . I look at her parents who are crying. "Elizabeth Snow." I hear my name and freeze. My parents pat me on the back. I walk up and stick the cold knife in my skin. I step around looking at my choices. I hover my hand between Dauntless and Abnegation. My blood spills in between and I hear some people gasp, some people laugh. I move my hand. "Dauntless!" Marcus yells. He pats me on the back and glares at me. I walk and put some cloth the Dauntless leader gave me.
