"Hold still, Carly" says my mom as she prepares the needle she will peirce my ears with. She says peircing my ears will be something to remember her and the whole Dauntless community by when I leave. Everyone has admitted that I won't stay in Dauntless. Not only am I not Dauntless material but I don't like violence at all. The aptitude tests are tomorrow and I hope it will provide me with faction I should go in. I'm counting on it.
I take a deep breath and my mom stabs the needle through my ear. It hurts but not as much as I thought it would. My ears sting as I wander around thinking about my future. I know I won't stay in Dauntless but where will I go? The Erudite? Am I smart enough to get in? I'm only average at school and I don't value knowledge as much as them. Plus I can't imagine myself whereing glasses. Candor? No, I could never be as truthful as them. With all this on my mind I slowly head back to my family's quarters for a sleepless night.
