It was an average morning in abnegation. The sun was shining, and it felt as if nothing could go wrong. The only problem was that today was the day of the aptitude test- the test that decided our future. Mother was cutting my hair so I would look good for the event. Chop, chop, chop. Cut, cut, cut. When she finished, my brother, Caleb and I began walking to the testing building.

"Are you scared?" I asked him on the way to the building. He looked at me, and without hesitation, he whispered a quiet "no." Then he rose his voice again. "Are you?" I looked away. I didn't know if I was scared or not. This test would be the one and only path we had to our futures... And decide the faction we would live our lives in.

I may have not described what the faction system is yet. It is a series of 5 factions that all apply to a certain personality. There is my current faction, abnegation, and we are the selfless ones, and dauntless, the brave, candor, the honest, erudite, the smart, and amity, the kind.
