When I went inside the building, I walked directly to the windows where I watch the Dauntless arrive. An Abnegation girl, Beatrice-I think, watches with me. I admire the Dauntless for their courage. I'm just hoping I will have aptitude for Dauntless.

"I hope I have aptitude for Dauntless, too." says Beatrice.
"Did I say that out loud?" I ask. "Yeah, but it's okay," she assures me. "What's your name?" She asks. "I'm Bella Matthews." I say.

Jeanine decided to name me Bella because it means intelligent...in Hungarian. Don't even get me started.

"Matthews? As in Jeanine Matthews?" She asks surprised. "Yeah, I'm not her daughter though. I was abandoned on her doorstep as a baby." I tell her this because she seems trustworthy.

"Oh," she says."I'm sorry?" She asks more than states. "It's fine. I barely remember my parents anyway." I assure her.

I look at the clock and see that the bell is about to ring. She notices too. "Bye, good luck on your aptitude test." she says. "Thanks, you too." I run (at normal speed), to class.
