Chapter 5

Tobias and I walk into the Hub and go to wait by where all the other Abnegation kids are waiting. Only those who are getting aptitude tests are allowed to be there, so I give Tobias a quick squeeze on his shoulder and go to sit with everyone else. In the crowd, I spot my only 2 friends at school. Ely and Hannah. Ely's sister and Hannah's brother are also getting tested. We became such good friends after we met, that I even told them about and Marcus. They told me that I should report him, but I explained how it would only get me more pain in the end.

I wave over to them, and they wave back and smile. They then motion to me to come over, and I start to walk. Ely is in Erudite and Hannah is in Amity. They hate their factions, just like me. I think that's one thing that also makes us closer.

"So" Hannah begins to say as I reach them, " How's it going with Marcus, is anything better?" Hannah asks.

"No" I reply. "Today he slammed his fist on the table and yelled at Tobias for not looking him in the eye".

I can tell that Ely and Hannah's happy facial expressions, begin to sadden and they look down at their shoes. I've told them about basically everything. But even after they don't look at me like I'm broken inside. Like I'm someone with a messed up family and a horrible monster as a dad. They always look at me like I'm equal

"Anyways," I say, trying to make things better, " Are Annabeth and Edward waiting to get tested?" I ask.

"Yup" they both reply. "But I think Annabeth is gonna stay in Erudite, she fits in too well to leave," Ely says.

"Well, I can't tell about Edward. It can go either way with him honestly" Hannah says.

They both glance over to their siblings then ask me about mine. "What about your brother? Is he going to leave Abnegation?" Ely asks. I look over to see Tobias sitting at a bench, waiting patiently.

"I hope so" I reply
