I woke to the sun warming my face. Slowly opening my eyes I jump back from someone standing right beside my bed. As my eyes focus I see it is Christian Hallows, he’s been my best-friend since we were little. The only person I would entrust with all my secrets here in Amity. I notice he’s laughing at me.
Christian is handsome in his own right but when he laughs his whole face lights up. While we are so much alike mentally, physically we are opposites. He’s much taller than me standing at 6’ but then again most people are since I’m only 5’4. His eyes a deep brown compared to my very blue eyes with light greens and browns around the pupil making them seem darker than they are. He’s blond with shortly cut hair and I have deep brown wavy hair just past my shoulders naturally lightened by the hours we spend in the sun. While he stays pale in the sun I have olive skin.
If I was a different person I could be attracted to him but after spending so many years together I think of him as another brother especially since my own moved to his own room two years ago. My brother Daniel got his own room to begin his new life after his choosing ceremony and a year ago his girlfriend Lexxy moved in with him and they have recently decided to marry. While I’m happy for him I can’t help but feel like he’s no longer family. Spitefully I blame Lexxy though I know she’s not at fault I just never see him since she moved in. We used to find time to see each other but since she moved in he doesn’t have time for much else.
“And what do you find so amusing”, I ask as I finally crawl from beneath my blankets to get up.
“I’ve never been able to make you jump before. I’m just enjoying the small victory”, I can’t help but to smile he has been trying to catch me off guard for a year now and this is the first time he’s succeeded.
“As long as you don’t tell anyone I’ll allow you to enjoy this”, I say smiling back to him.
“Of course I wouldn’t tell anyone. Even if I did they wouldn’t understand why it is so amazing”.
I roll my eyes as I pull my yellow tank top on followed closely by my red capris. For the last year me and Christian have spent any time we can get alone training for The Choosing Ceremony that would take place tomorrow. Christian had turned 16 three months ago and thankfully I had turned 16 yesterday so we would be choosing our factions together. Today we would take the aptitude test.
We walked out of my room and met my parents by the door. My mother Lilac was smiling at me while my father just watched as Christian and I crossed the room. My mother immediately pulled me into her arms for a hug. I hugged her back knowing I would truly miss this when I transferred but I knew I couldn’t stay where I couldn’t be myself.
“Good morning mother”.
“Good morning my Lilly”, she whispered into my ear running her fingers through my hair like she did when I was little. I felt tears prickle the back of my before she moved on to hug Christian. My father’s hugs have always been awkward. My father and I were close when I was a child but as I grew older we had less and less in common.
“Good morning father”.
“Good morning Lillyana”, he said formally after pulling away and then patting Christian on the shoulder.
We head down to the cafeteria joining the other families heading down for breakfast. After we get our trays we sit at a table. I stare at me tray for a moment it’s the same thing we have every day, our homemade bread, an apple, oatmeal with no flavor, and water. I wish we had something different occasionally. Setting the bread to the side knowing I won’t eat it I pick up the apple using a knife to cut it into slices that I’ll dip into the oatmeal.
I notice my mother waving someone over and I look over my shoulder to see Alexander Bell and his parents heading towards our table. I move closer to Christian to make room hoping one of his parents will sit there but of course Alexander sits next to me.
“Good morning Lilly”, I nod my head to show I heard him chewing my food without looking at him. I feel someone kick me under the table and look up to see my mother tip her head toward Alexander.
I sigh softly before replying, “Good morning Alexander”. I notice him perk up and I frown as I shove another apple slice into my mouth. I knew he liked me but I did not like him. I knew what I wanted in a guy and he was not it. He’s not much taller than my 5’4 and he is very thin. I have some muscle and a slightly curvy figure, my chest much curvier than the rest. I knew he would never be able to protect me if the need ever arose. I wanted someone who I could give my closely held control over to that I could trust. Someone I knew who could take care of me who would hold me when I couldn’t stay strong and who could push me to be better and stronger.
I listen to our parents talk about the tests today when I feel Alexander lean closer to me and I grind my teeth a little. An annoying tick I had developed whenever he was near.
“Are you nervous about the tests today”, I hear him ask way too close to me ear.
I lean closer to Christian away from Alexander before responding, “Not really”. Honestly I would be shaking if I let go I was terrified that all my training and planning would be for nothing and I would end up being told I belonged in Amity.
