Colours. Floating around the empty space. Suddenly it all becomes black except an open door. I try to run for it. The door closes. I am alone in the extremely dark darkness.
Suddenly I wake up with a start. It was only a dream. I remember that I was swallowed by the darkness. Darkness… it is the most frightening thing in the universe. I know other people are, like, afraid of spiders and loneliness or desolation. But then there is people like me, who are afraid of getting swallowed whole by nothingness. Just ceasing to exist.
I suddenly remember what the day is… today is the day of the aptitude test. I know I can't be part of the faction that I am part of. I can not stay in Erudite forever. But it seems like there is no faction for me. I don't want to be kind. I can't be kind. Part of my personality is sass. I can not be in Candor. I lie to much.
I get up and put my glasses on. It is ironical because I actually need glasses. As one of the only ones in Erudite. I go into the bathroom with the clothes I am going to wear. I know I have a lot of time so I take a long, warm shower. When I get out, I wrap the towel around my waist. It absorbs a lot of the water that is left on my body after the shower. When I am all dry, I put on my clothes. I wear what I usually wear, a pair of blue jeans and a blue t-shirt.
I put on my socks and go down the stair. I see mother. Her hair is back in a tight knot, like it usually is. She comes out of the kitchen and hugs me. I hug back.
"How du you feel today, sweetie?" she askes me.
"I feel alright" I answer. I am lying. In my stomach, there are butterflies all over the place. I have never felt this way before. I don't like it.
"It's alright to feel terrified, honey", she must have seen it on me. I was probably pale as a sheet.
I fill a bowl with cereal and milk and sit down at the table. She sits down at the other side and starts to read the newspaper. Mother always reads the newspaper in the morning. I finish my bowl of cereal and take it to the dishwasher.
I go upstairs and start combing my dark brown hair. I don't want it looking like I just got up, but I also don't want it looking like I spent a lot of time on it. I brush my teeth and grab my schoolbag from my room. I walk downstairs.
I walk out of the house and to the bus stop. The bus comes right away. I get on it and go further back to find a seat. Usually there are few seats but today most seats are empty. I find a seat next to the windows so I can look out. I like looking out windows. It reminds me that it is not just Erudite in this city. That there is also Dauntless, Amity, Abnegation and Candor.
After about five minutes we are there. At the school. I don't like school. It is way to boring and you do, like nothing, for a whole day. It is so impractical. Why should anyone want to do homework on their spare time. Ok, I'll admit that I like to read, but fictional. Non-fictional is so boring and depressing.
I get of the bus and walk in to class. We have faction-history. BORING! But at least I get to stare on at the most beautiful boy in school. He is so hot…
After an hour of that, we have our aptitude tests. By that point I am ready to faint. My gang sit on our usual table. Me, Will, Edward and Myra. The usual erudite people. Let's just say that I know why they call us vain.
They start calling up names. I know that I am almost last. So, we sit still. I would say that we sit extremely still.
"Robert William" the woman says. I get up and start walking for the place you take the test. I walk in…
