A Hard Life

A Hard Life: Ch. 8

As I walked home, I saw the Factionless and know that I can't make a bad decision to end up like them. Once I get back home, I dash up to my room to think of my options.

There's no way I'm gonna do Amity. I do like peacefulness but I heard they put something in the bread and that they have peace serum. I saw someone use it, and they acted like they were high!

I don't wanna choose Candor because I can't be honest all the freaking time! I like honesty, but I'm not the most honest person.

I don't want to go to Abnegation because I'm not very selfless. I could never think like them. I'm selfish, but I will give things up for others at some points. But most certainly not forever!

I can't stay here in Erudite because I feel like a caged bird. I can't be free, I'm locked up to do studying and learning within a maze. I don't care if it's a tradition in my family for us to stay in this Faction. I won't stay.

Then there's Dauntless. I could be free there. I'm not very brave, but with training, I could become less of a coward. I can finally take flight there.

"Where the heck were you?!" Meredith barges into my room.

"Oh I'm sorry, but I don't remember inviting you!" I sit up on my bed.

"Ugh, never mind. Mom said come down to eat." With that, she stomps out of my room.

I roll my eyes and hurry down. I quickly eat and hurry back to my room. I fall asleep quickly, knowing my choice of Faction. I dream of my 18th birthday tomorrow, and strangely, I also dream about Kane.
