107 years have passed since the War that ruined our beloved country. Now split into five factions,each one with a specific job and virtue,like for me,we represent selflessness and ship coal to the Capitol.

When I turn sixteen,I have to take a test that decides my destiny..what I will be in. It's either my current faction or I can decide I leave it..or just become Factionless.

There's the Dauntless,the brave..they are practically the military,the guard dogs.

The Amity,the peaceful..farmers by trade.

The Candor,the Honest..leaders with the Capitol.

The Erudite,the Intelligent..reporters and interviewers that the Capitol adore.

Then there's Abengation,the selfless..coal shoveling workers..

I wake up,it's about midday..my younger brother Tristan is in the kitchen. He's only fifteen...today is our birthday.

I walk into the kitchen,Mom..mindlessly cooking.

I took the pan handle away and finished what she had started.

"Oh..thank you Evelyn."she says

"Your welcome..you dazed away for a moment."I said

"Well,I was thinking that you two will be taking the test tomorrow..and your destiny will be chosen.."she sighs

"My results will say Abnegation."I say,comfortable with that thought

"I don't know..I might be Candor."Tristan shrugs

"Your already a terrible liar."I laugh

Tristan starts laughing too. Mom shook her head. We shouldn't be joking about our destinies.

"We should probably head out to school."I sighed

"Not after you eat."she says

We ate the bread and hurried on the fresh orange juice. I knew she wants me to gather more from the woods nearby.

"Bye mom."I sigh

We walk to school,in our drab gray clothes..everyone looks so much brighter than we do. He looks at me,well the Dauntless.

"The Hellions are here."he sneers

They draw my attention as one nudges my brother to the ground.

"Tristan!"I panic,helping him up

He brushed the dirt off his clothes.

"I know I'm not Dauntless."he says,gritting his teeth

I lightly laugh.

"You could be..but it's up to the test."I said

"Evelyn,your probably more Dauntless than I am."he says

I purse my lips,a scowl pinching my cheeks.

"It's up to the test."I said
