 My name is Tobias Eaton.

I live in Chicago. I’m 18.

 I was born in Dauntless and decided to stay here.

 My father is a faction leader and my mother helps me train the new initiates every year. I have a brother. His name is Eric Eaton. He’s not exactly a year older. He’s our parent’s favorite. They would give anything to see him succeed.

 Then there’s me. I keep to myself most of the time. I have a couple of friends. But mostly I hang out with my best friend, Zeke. Other than that I work in the control room with Eric. He has mates there too. I prefer concentrating on my work.

 There’s this girl. She’s a dauntless born too and chose to stay too. She’s also 18. She has a brother, Caleb. He’s 10 months older than her. She sits behind me in history. She has a lot of friends but the ones she’s always hanging around with are Uriah, Al, Will and Christina. Her name is Tris.

 I never liked her. Actually, I HATE her!

 I don’t exactly have a reason to hate but her it’s just that her parents and mine are enemies because of something that happened between them when they were in high school. This hatred was passed on to us through ‘genes’, as the Erudite call them

 Every day I go to school. Report for duty. Work in the control room. Do my homework. Hang out with Zeke in the Pit.

 That’s pretty much it about what goes in my life.
