Envy. My face is quite stoic, but on the inside ... on the inside, I can't even begin to explain what I'm feeling. Currently, my mom is cutting the dead ends off of my hair. My sister, Beatrice, is leaning against the wall watching my mom slice bits of my hair. Each strand falling, clumps at a time. I peer over at Beatrice and see her gorgeous rose blonde hair pulled up in a bun, composed. Composed, just like my sister; always in control of the situation, even today, the day of our Aptitude test. I envy her; here is me freaking out inside, a crumbled mess of anxiety and excitement, and there she is. Just gliding through life like a bird.

In our world, we have to take a test. It decides were we are in life. Our founding fathers wanted to keep peace in the city so they divided the works into 5 groups. The smart ones are the Erudite, the law makers are Candor, the farming and agriculture are Amity and the warriors of the city are the Dauntless. That's what I want to be.

My family and I are Abnegation. We're the people that help others and keeps the peace. The Erudite's don't like that. They hate us.

I always admired Dauntless ever since I was a kid. I love how they take challenges and taking risks. That's me, a risk taker and I'm a dare devil. Beatrice doesn't like that about me but she supports me anyways.

After my mother finished cutting my hair, she put it into a similar bun like Beatrice's.

"Okay, done." She said, smiling. She mention my sister to come over. Beatrice stood next to me and we looked at each other. We were both twins and almost looked alike. Mom went to the mirror that was locked and unlocked it.

Abnegation sometimes don't like to look in mirrors because of vanity. I don't believe that. There's nothing wrong with looking into a mirror but you know. It is what it is.

My sister and I looked at the mirror as we saw ourselves. We both have the same faces but you can tell the difference between us. Beatrice's hair is brownish gold and mine was a reddish brown.

"You guys nervous?" Mom asks us. Beatrice and I shake our heads no.

"But were you? For your test?" I asked her curiously.

"Nope, I was terrified." She giggled and I laughed too. "I had no reason to be and neither should you, or you." She said to me and Beatrice. I nodded at her. I kept saying to myself., no reason to be scarred or nervous.

After saying goodbye to our parents, Caleb, Beatrice, and I made our way to the testing. We came up to a building were everyone was standing in a line depending on their current faction. All three of us went to the Abnegation line. As we stood there, some of the people of Erudite started to mess with some of the Abnegation in front of us.

When they started to get a little bit rough, I went to help them, as did Beatrice but Caleb held us both back. "Man, what's their problem?" I asked annoyed.

"They just want to mess with us. Don't let it get to you." Caleb said. Oh I wasn't but it did bother me. As we all waited, I heard whoops and hollers behind me. I look over and see the Dauntless jumping off a moving train.

Two words. Awe. Some.

They were running, screaming and shouting for joy. Man, they were so amazing.

~TIME SKIP~

Time flew by and it was time for me to take my test. I walked into a room that only had a chair and machines attached it. I couldn't believe who I saw in the room. It was Bree. She looked up at me and smiled hugely. She came over to me and hugged me and I hugged her back.

Bree is my best friend. She's a Dauntless born initiate. We met when we were little kids. I got into trouble one day on my way home. I was out helping the factionless while my parents had to go to a meeting. Caleb and Beatrice were also helping the factionless as well but on different part of the city.

I know what you're probably thinking, why would they leave their little sister alone? Well, I told my mom that I wanted to do it on my own. My parents, including me brother and sister, always baby me. I wanted to show them that I don't need help all the time. So I went on my own.

But anyways, apparently, I was caught up by some Erudite boys, that were around my age. They were bullying me and started to push me around. Before they could attack me, Bree came in and stopped it. And ever since, we became best friends.

"Hey!" I said to her, happily.

"Hey, it's so good to see you." She said to me.

"You too! We have you been? I haven't seen you in like 3 weeks. i was starting to get worried"

"Yeah, I've been busy, especially because of the testing and new initiates." My mouth formed an O and nodded. "So how about we get started."

I nodded and sat down in the chair. "Okay, so I will be watching you while you take your test. What's going to happen is a small simulation and it will help you decide out of the five factions."

I nodded okay. She started to hook up everything in its place and then handed me a glass that held a liquid in it. I smelled weird.

I looked up at Bree questioningly. She gave a small laugh and said, "Drink it. It's for the test."

"Oh, right." I said quietly. I drank the liquid and resisted the urge to spit it out. I gave the glass back to Bree. She went to the monitor and said, "Ready?"

"Yup, I'm ready." After that, I was out.

I woke up and saw mirrors. Thousands of them. Okay, talk about freaky. I walked to one of them and saw me, of course. I turned around and saw more mirrors. I kept walking around and more mirrors kept appearing.

Until, suddenly, I saw myself standing in front of me, telling me, "Choose."

I looked and I saw a knife and...a piece of meat? "Okay, what am I to choose."

"Pick one." The other me said.

"But you tell me." Suddenly I heard growling, following a bark. I looked to see that it was a big dog, barring its teeth at me. It walked towards me and I started to walk backwards.

"Oh, okay. Nice doggy. Good boy." I said, trying to calm it down but it jumped on me and I dodged it.

He came back at me and I closed my eyes for it to start biting me. I heard a small, babyish whine. I looked and saw that the big scary dog was a cute little puppy.

"Awe, you're so cute. Hello." I said to it adoringly. I bet the puppy's head and it rubbed up against my hand.

"A puppy?" A small voice said behind me. I looked over my shoulder and saw a little girl, looking about 10 or 11 years old. I look back at the puppy but only to find the big scary dog again but it wasn't focused on me, his gaze was at the little girl.

She looked terrified and the dog started to run towards her. The girl started to run away. I chased after them. "No, bad dog. Sit. Stay." I shouted at the dog. I jumped on him and we went...through the floor?

Suddenly I woke up, gasping, finding myself back at the testing room. I looked over and saw Bree staring at me worriedly.

"Come on, you have to go." She said hurriedly. "You have to go before a supervisor comes in."

"Whoa, Bree slow down, what's wrong? What was my result?"

"Listen to me Ciera, go home and say that you got sick because of the serum and I sent you home." She said as she was opening the door. I slammed it shut and said, "Hold on a second, Bree. What was my result?

Bree paused and looked at me. She hesitated and said, "Abnegation."

My heart stopped beating and started again. I looked at her with sadness. "Really?"

"And Erudite, and Dauntless, and Amity...and Candor." I looked at her weirdly.

"I don't...I don't understand." I paused. "Bree, what does that mean?"

"You have to go!" She said, urgently.

"No, not until you tell me what that means." I told her sternly. Okay, now I was freaking out.

Bree looked behind me then back at me. "It means the test didn't work on you. Your something different." I was about to say something but she stopped me. "No, listen to me and listen to me well okay?" I nodded. "This is a very rare thing to happen. It's called Divergent. Those who are Divergent are very different from others. And that's you. You're different."

I was terrified and Bree must have seen it on my face. She put her hands on my shoulder for reassurance. "Listen to me Cecilia. You cannot tell anyone about this. Not to your parents or to your siblings. Okay? No one. Right now, you are to tell that I sent you home because you got sick and the test came back as Abnegation. Okay?"

I looked at her and nodded. She opened the door for me and I walked out. "Hey," I turn my head to look at Bree. "It's going to be okay. I'll see you later."

I nodded and smiled. She smiled back and shut the door.

I looked out of the windows and saw the sun was setting. I must have been in there for a long time. I sighed loudly. This was a long day and now I have to face my parents.

~Time Skip~

I walked into the house and called out if anyone was home. I heard footsteps and I saw my mother. "Hey!" She came over and hugged me.

I hugged her back, tightly. She must have known something was wrong. "Is everything alright?" She said, pulling back and taking a strand of hair out of my face.

"Yeah, everything's fine." I said to her. We both started walking into the kitchen were everyone is. I saw Caleb and Dad sitting at the table. Then I noticed something off about Beatrice. Something was wrong, I could tell.

"Okay, well why you don't sit down and eat."

"Actually mom, I'm not hungry." I told her. Everyone looked up at me.

"Are you sure? Why? What happened?"

"I got sent home because of the serum. It made me sick."

"You too?" Dad asks me.

"What do you mean?" I asked him.

"The same thing happened to Beatrice." I looked over to her concerned.

"Are you okay?" I asked her.

"Yeah, I'm fine, are you?" She asked back.

"Yeah, I'm cool. But, um, Mom is it okay if I go to bed early. It's been a long day."

Mom looked over to Dad concerned. I knew they were worried about me, considering I'm the youngest in the family, only by a few minutes from Beatrice. She looked back at me and said, "Okay, sweetie, you can. But just know this, no matter what happens tomorrow, your father and I love you."

I almost started to tear up. I hugged her then I hugged dad. I told them both, "I love you guys too."

I said to everyone goodnight as I headed for my room.

Beatrice and I share the same room ever since we were kids. And now, things might change after tomorrow. I don't know what it is that Beatrice is going to pick but I hope she's okay with picking it. I knew something was bothering her and I was going to ask her.

As I was lying in my bed, I heard the door open and I saw Beatrice.

"Hey, how are you?" I asked her. She saw me and gave me a small smile and said, "I'm fine."

"Are you sure? Because you know you can tell me anything, right." She looked at me, unsure. She changed her clothes and sat on my bed. I noticed that she was acting funny but tried to hide it.

"What did you get on your test?" She asked curiously. I wanted to tell her right then and there that I was different. Divergent. But I couldn't but I WANTED TO!

So I sort of lied.

"Abnegation"

She looked at me and said, "Really?"

I nodded. "Yeah, I knew that nothing was going to change." I lied. Lies. All lies. Oh the horror!

She hugged me and said, "It's going to be okay, sis." I hugged her back, believing her words.

She let go and I said, "Thank you. But what did you get?"

Beatrice looked unsure of what to tell me. I looked at suspiciously, until she said, "Abnegation."

I looked at her doubtfully, "Really? You're still Abnegation?"

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?"

"Nothing, the same happened to me remember." I said, putting my hands up in surrender. "I just thought that you would be Erudite or Candor or something."

She agreed with me then we sat in silence. After a few minutes, I couldn't help it. I had to tell her. "Okay, there's something else I have to tell you." I said desperately.

She saw my face and said, "What? What is it?" in concern.

I walked over towards the door and opened it, to make sure no one was listening. I saw Caleb's door was closed the and lights were off.

I closed the door and sat right back on my bed. I grabbed my sister's hands and looked at her dead in the eye. "Okay, what I'm about to tell you, you cannot tell anyone."

She looked paled and said, "Okay, then there's something I wanted to tell you too."

I looked at her curiously. "Okay, well how about we say it together on three. Deal?"

She nodded and I counted. "One...Two...Three."

"I'm Divergent!" We both gasped and had our hands to our mouths.

OH. MY. GOSH! My sister is Divergent.

"You're Divergent?" We both said quietly. "Yeah I am." We both said again. We laughed at our twinness.

"Wow, I never would have guess." I said to her.

"Neither have I. Now we can't tell anyone."

"Yeah, same here. You know I would never tell anyone, right?"

"Of course. I would never tell anyone either."

"Okay, so now what? What's going to happen tomorrow?"

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't know. We have to wait and see tomorrow."

I felt a pit in my stomach. I heard things about people who are Divergent. They are like wanted criminals and they would be killed if they revealed who they were to others. As Beatrice turned off her light, I turned back to her and said, "Sis, no matter what happens, we have to stick together."

She stops completely to look at me. So I continued, "We have to, no matter what. It doesn't matter what faction we go to but we have to stick together. Okay?"

Beatrice is still looking at me, wide eyed because she never seen me like this before. It kind of shocked me as well. I was never demanding before. After a moment, she nods her head. She lay down on her bed, I did the same.

After laying in the darkness for who knows how long, Beatrice responds, "I will help you. I wouldn't let anyone hurt you. That's a promise." With that, I slipped into darkness.
