1 It all started when we were kids living in the abnegation faction. My best friend and I always went into the woods near our houses after our parents thought we were in bed. For us that was a risky move sense our dads both abuse us. I think about this as I climb out the window and walk into the woods only guided by the faint glow of moon light. I see a nice tall tree and climb it scouting the area when I feel a hand on my shoulder. I nearly jump three feet in the air in shock. " hey" he says "hey" I respond. I turn around to look at him. He has blue eyes that are so dark they almost look black. His hair is black and cut short, which is standard abnegation status. He is very tall compared to me but im pretty short for a girl to begin with. We hop down from the branch and stare at each other. He embraces me in a hug and I know why. Tomorrow is choosing day and I know that he's not going to choose abnegation, this is the last time I will ever see him again. He is a two years older than me So I have to wait a whole another two years until I'm sixteen and able to choose a faction. " I know your not choosing abnegation" I say. At that he stays silent. " you know I know why" I say. I'm not mad at him just stunned at what's going to happen tommorow. "sorry but... I can't do this!" he says pointing in the direction of the our faction. " it's to plain and I can't do anything I want to do and I know you feel the same way Betrice" i look down and train my eyes on a nearby rock. He takes my hand, which surprises me. We never had that kind of relationship and our faction looks down on any kind of Physical contact. I look up at him to find a determined look in his eyes. He takes my face in his hands and presses his lips mine. The kiss is very short but at the same time sends a wave of warmth threw me. I stare into his dark blue eyes which always seems to be comforting and stern at the same time. But then I hear a crash from his house and the lights flick on. His dad emits a yell so loud and piercing that I cower into the tree. He looks me in the eye brushes my check with his hand and says. "bye Betrice"he says, then runs toward his house knowing what awaits him. I look sadly after him. I stare at the spot where he stood and see a small glimmer. I bend down to pick it up. What I hold is a necklace that he always used to wear. A simple silver metal chain with the symbol of abnegation enclosed by a circle. He may have dropped it on accident but i think he dropped it on purpose as a reminder of him...for me.I close my hand around it and look toward the direction he ran in. " by tobias" I say, then i sink to the mossy floor and close my eyes.
