"Good morning sweetheart!" My mothers overly happy voice pierced the silence, startling me and causing me to, not very gratefully, fall off my bed. "Testing day!"
"Morning." Her shrill voice contrasting my rough morning voice. She pulled me to my feet. I sighed and forced a smile. I always hated the morning, I found it difficult to keep up my happy nice facade. I can't wait to get out of Amity.
"Get dressed, grab some breakfast and I'll bring you to school!" How can someone be so happy, like is this physically possible.
"Okay." I said with a yawn. I sauntered sluggishly into my bathroom and took a long, much needed, hot shower. Once out of said shower, I threw on an orange crop top and some blue shorts. I trudged back into the bathroom and started at the clearly tired girl in the mirror that was, unfortunately, me. I grabbed my brush and ripped it through my matted brown hair. After it had thoroughly brushed, I plugged in my curling iron and waited for it to heat up. It heated quickly and I promptly started to curl my hair. Being me, I burned my neck and decided to give up on it. It's a good thing I had a high pain tolerance. Once I had treated my burn I took a look at myself in the mirror, it'll do I thought and I plastered a smile on my face and walked out of my room. My whole fucking family loves having preppy conversations about how nice everything was, how great it was we were all together, how we'd never drift apart, and how testing day was unnecessary because I was a sure fire Amity, I nodded and smiled not much in the mood for 'plesent' conversation. They only talked about it because they knew it wasn't true but wanted me to stay. My parents are the worst of the group, but I guess that's how it should be. I forced myself to eat some dry toast and drank a glass of orange juice to wash it down, this family didn't cook exactly.

Once I got to school I said goodbye to my parents told them I'd miss them and once they drove away, I scoffed and rolled my eyes. Then, I noticed someone was looking at me, shit. A boy who judging by his appearance, straight black hair, black skinny jeans, a white, long sleeved shirt with a skeletal ribcage and arms on it and black and white flannel vest, a pair of nerdy glasses that showcased his plain brown eyes and a pair of white headphones, was Dauntless. Which was odd because he was hanging around with people who I knew were Candor. He didn't look like he saw me... or maybe he just didn't care. I surveyed the area and someone caught my eye, Fayth. My 'best friend.'
"Damn it." I muttered. Maybe she won't come over? I hoped, but just my luck she put on a wide smile and began her supermodel stride over. Why did I have such a poor taste in friends? Never the less she was on her way over. I flashed her a smile and waved at her.
"Hey girl hey!" She shouted too loud.
"Hey!" I replied mimicking her girly saunter. Once we reached each other she pulled me into a hug.
"Ah I missed you so much!" She shrieked, it literally been a day, not even. "I have so much to tell you!" She didn't even give me a chance to respond before she started talking like a lunatic about shit I didn't give a fuck about. Fortunately in all my years if there's one thing I've learned how to do, it's fake a smile and play nice. Definitely skills I'm going to use in the real world.
This happened every morning she'd find me and start fireing of a list of questions like,
"Did you know Alex and Allyson broke up?" And not giving me a chance to answer before bad talking the bitch, "but Allyson being the slut she is didn't even wait a day she went strait for Jacob and now they're together. Alex was heartbroken, it's a good thing I was here! We're together now!"
"What about Matt?" Matt is her boyfriend or, was her boyfriend I guess.
"Never mind him Alex is so much hotter!" She said in a way I can only describe as bitchy. Poor Matt. That's not even how it happened, I may not like this life style but it's kind of hard to not keep on top of everything that's happening. Alex is a cheating bastard and when Allyson found out she flipped. Jacob was always there for her so she helped her told her it was okay to break it. And she did. So she got together with Jacob. That, helping each other out, is what Amity is all about. Unfortunately we're not all that way. As for Fayth and Alex, those dirt bags deserve each other. Sometimes I want to slap this bitch. Like who dose she think she is, one thing's for sure, she doesn't belong in Amity. I'm being a little hypocritical, I also don't belong in Amity this hell hole is, well, a hell hole. If for a second you're not nice you get shamed, even if it's the truth. It sucks. And that's why I need out.
