Alexa the Divergent

Chapter 1

The wind whipped through my long, blonde hair. I clutched my sides as I walked alone towards school. My best friend Selena was with her boyfriend Ron. You know, sometimes I don't even know why we are best friends. We don't talk to each other all that often. And suddenly, I know. Because while she is my best friend, I am not close to hers. It's sad knowing that. I walk up to her. I look angry. Candor people always do, even though that is not what we are feeling at all. "Listen Sel. I can't be friends with you anymore." She looks upset and hurt. "Why not?!" "Well... Because you are always with Ron, and we never spend any time with each other anymore. And you are mean to me when we are together." I say and now I realize I am angry. "And I always sit alone at lunch while you are with your other friends, or with Ron who knows where. And you always look at me with pity. I don't even want to be pitied!!! I don't need to be pitied." I mumble the last sentence. "Fine." She says, but she doesn't really look fine. She looks shaken. "Thank you for your honesty."
