"You look really nervous."
"I feel it." I playfully glared at my best friend, Malia. "Are you not or something?"
"No, I have it all under control." I looked at her, dumbfounded. "I'm like dying, I'm a nervous wreck. Is that what you want me to say?!"
"Yes, thank you." I teased her. She just rolled her eyes.
"Well time to go in..." She took ahold of my hand and squeezed, and smiled reassuringly. "Let's go..." She whispered gently. I took a deep breath, rolled my shoulders, and slowly began walking.

"Welcome to the Choosing Ceremony!!!" Yelled our governor/leader Marcus... And after that I was such a nervous wreck that I zoned out. "Malia Smith." I looked over to where Malia and her family sat. I still didn't know what Malia was choosing. She had never told me, and I had never told her. Maybe that was for the best, I couldn't have her trying to change my mind. I was pretty sure Malia was staying in Amity. She fit in here. She couldn't survive anywhere else. I watched as Malia staggered forward and she turned to Marcus and he handed her the knife. Without hesitation Malia split open her skin, and stuck her hand over the Dauntless bowl of lit coals. "DAUNTLESS!" I stared bewildered at her as she walked to her new faction. What?! Do I not know my best friend at all?! I had no time to answer that question in my head because I heard my name get called next. "Ashlynn Morgan." I quickly got up, and gave my family a smile. My little sister Kyla looked up at me with sad brown eyes. "Don't let them hurt you. You are to strong for that." She squeezed my hand as tears streamed down her face. The leaders, at that point it had clicked in my head. She knew I wasn't her biological sister...but how? I leaned down and kissed her cheek. I then walked through the aisle and tried to confidently walk up the stairs to where Marcus was standing with the knife. I took a deep breath and sliced open my skin, slightly wincing. I could feel the satisfaction running through me as I heard the sizzling of my blood on the coals. I was Dauntless once again! I couldn't stop smiling. "Dauntless." I walked over to my old-new faction and saw all my old friends, and a frown formed on my face. I was only six, but it hurt so bad to leave this faction. I quickly replaced my frown with a fake smile as soon as I got puzzled looks. I didn't want people to think I thought I made the wrong choice, because thats not what I thought at all. I took a seat next to Malia. For some reason, I could not look at her. The ceremony passed in a blur after that. I was pulled out of my daydream as soon as the Dauntless stood up, and started running down the stair case to catch the train. I began running along side the Dauntless borns leaving Malia, and then I remembered, they think you are from Amity, act like it. So I waited for Malia to catch up, and I tried not to grunt. She finally caught up after what seemed like hours, and I began running at her pace (which was jogging). I was beginning to grow extremely frustrated. Keep it together, Ashlynn. We finally saw the train coming so I made Malia run at my pace. All the Dauntless borns jumped on first, and it didn't seem like the transfers in front of me were going anytime soon so I sprinted in front of them, knowing Malia would follow. I caught up with the last cart of the train and roughly pulled myself into the train, but I still managed to land on my feet. I grinned. I saw Malia pull herself in, with the other transfers following suit. Malia walked over to me.
"You look mad at me? What did I do?!"
"What you did is transfer here! You belong in Amity! You can't survive here! I don't want to see my best friend become factionless! I love you to much to see that happen, Mal!" Once the words spilled out I immediately regretted it. A look of hurt spread across her face. Tears began to well up in her chocolate eyes.
"You obviously aren't my best friend, because best friends support one another! Who was I to think that you were my best friend, because clearly I was wrong! You know what, maybe you do belong in Dauntless, you sure act like you don't have a heart like the rest of them!" I glared at her.
"I was your best friend! NOT ANYMORE! Don't come to me for help, or cry to me about picking the wrong faction!" And with that, she stormed away and began talking to an Abnegation, and Candor transfer. I pressed my head against the cool metal of the train. It had always calmed me down when I was little. I sighed. She has no idea how Dauntless I really am.
-
"They're jumping!" One of the transfers yelled. This wasn't news to me. I was already against the wall so I waited till I saw the rooftop to begin running. A gray rooftop caught my eye, and I counted to three in my head. One, Two, Three. I began running, and as soon as the other transfers noticed they moved out of the way. I thanked them in my head. I was in the air for what seemed like hours. The wind in my hair, the cold, salty, air blowing across my face. I tucked into a front roll to break my fall. As soon as the Dauntless borns eyes were on me, I cursed under my breath. Act like an Amity!! I made tears come to my eyes and I forced them to fall. They all just smirked at me, and turned around. I sighed in relief. A terrified shriek deafens my ears. A few moments later, silence filled the air. I force myself to not turn around. Horror flashed across my face and tears start to well up in my eyes. I frantically look around for Malia. I sigh in relief as I see her talking to Chris and some Abnegation girl. I turned around and began walking to the front with the other transfers. I was leading them. An Amity leading them. I looked down at my feet and smirked. As I looked up, my eyes lock with dark, cold brown eyes, the ones I had grown to hate. I looked at him with hate, and disgust, but quickly replaced it with an icy smile. Amity's don't glare at people in hatred! I sighed, knowing this was going to be harder than I had thought.
