A sneak peak from "Torn Apart" The Choice Trilogy #1

Torn Apart (The Choice Trilogy #1) is the one I am working on right now. Just a sneak peak of my book to flare your interest.
Prologue
Unknown POV
Fifteen years ago, there was a war in this world. A war between the rich and poor. The people who weren't participating thought that the rich were the evil and the poor were the good people. They believed that the poor people's argument was justified and so the poor people won. The war had started because the poor people had complained that all the money that was supposed to be theirs was now with the rich people. They complained about the injustice of this and demanded justice. The rich people scorned them and said that if they would learn and work they would have the same amount. They were right but more people supported the poor and so the war started when I was 3 and ended one year later, resulting in the victory of the poor people. 
  It was foolish but then a new revolution started. A King and Queen entered and changed the system of the world, leaving the rich people unhappy and angry. Their money was snatched away from them and all the money went to their castle. They divided the people in to five classes A, B, C, D and E, according to the results of the big test taken. A, were those who passed the tests with flying colours, they were given the biggest amount of money, and the best jobs possible. B, were the ones who passed the test good, and so on. No one knew what was in the test until they took it and this information was confidential to all those who hadn't taken the test. The elder people, who hadn't taken the test just yet, had to take it immediately and all those under seventeen had to take it at that age. So then, every person who became seventeen took the test.
  The police stations and the courts were demolished and every other system in the world was dissolved. New rules were introduced and new forms of punishments were placed. Giving money or food to the lower class, talking bad about the system, stealing money from the upper class (not from the lower class), rebelling against the system, not appearing for the test, not appearing for work (no matter how bad your condition), having someone else do your work, going in the caves, killing the upper class, hitting the upper class, having someone else take your test, playing pranks on your upper class were all punishable by death. Only the upper class were at advantage with this and the lower class were not. So if you are E then you are at a big disadvantage and danger. A, B, C and D are still at little advantage. This system and these rules are injustice if you ask me. One who does not have the strength to pass the test cannot live happily. This summarized the system. And the A, B and C class are very rare, The D and E class dominating the world. This system is the perfect example of injustice. 
 The people who rule, are violent, heartless, unkind, selfish bastards. They didn't try to figure out the reason behind the rebels, who rose five years ago, my family being one of them. No. Scratch that, my parents being the leader. Two years ago, each and every rebel was killed, except my parents and even though they managed to hide for an year, the rulers and the big posters with their pictures and wanted signs were inescapable. They were killed too. And a small part of me died with them. 
 I was surprised at the injustice of this. They had wretched my heart into pieces, taken away from me the people who I loved most and then spared me telling me not to follow in their footsteps. They made me see them die, they left me parent less  hurt and despaired and yet they asked me to be loyal to them. It took one split second for my mind to search the word that I craved so viciously. Revenge. Revenge, coursing through my veins, making me active and alert. The people who killed my family will die and justice will be brought in this world.......

It's unedited to forgive any grammar mistakes or spelling mistakes for that matter.
Thanks for reading :)
