1. Tris's First Day- Tris POV

Dear Diary..

…Or at least I think that's how it's supposed to go. The Abnegation has always discouraged diaries. I guess it's self-indulgence or something. Mom gave this book to me this morning before the Choosing Ceremony, telling me that it would help… It's almost like she already knew what I'd choose.

I can't believe I chose Dauntless. Every time I think about the Ceremony, I feel sick. The look on my father's face is frozen in my brain. After the Ceremony, I left with the Dauntless back down the cramped stairs. But this time was different. I didn't feel suffocated. Instead I felt free. Maybe it was because I was running instead of slowly climbing. Or maybe it was because of the fact that I am free. I never noticed how much pressure I felt at my home. I never noticed just how different the Abnegation are from the other factions.

Once we got out of the building we immediately were expected to be able to jump onto a train. I always watched the Dauntless jump on and off the trains, wondering what it felt like to be so free and brave. I barely made it onto the train, thanks to a Candor named Christina. I also managed to jump off of the same train with hardly any problems. The adrenaline probably helped. I can't help picturing the Erudite boy who didn't jump onto the train or the Amity boy who didn't jump off. I try my hardest not to think about the girl who fell to her death. All of them failed the initiation instantly. It was that easy.

As if jumping from a moving train wasn't hard enough, one of the leaders made us jump off of a building! I think he said his name was Max. He seemed amused, like he was just waiting for us to fail. I met another boy, a Candor named Peter. He pretty much hates me, acting like he's superior. I should keep an eye on him. Anyway, I learned something about myself today: I'm reckless. That or I'm stupid. How do I know? Easy, I was the first to jump. An Abnegation girl was the first to voluntarily jump off of a building when I can't see the floor. I landed safely on a net. It's a neat trick: making us think that we're jumping to our deaths when there is a net at the bottom we'll land safely on. Once I got to the net, I rolled off into the arms of a guy a little older than I am. He's…attractive. Christina says that he's intimidating and that he's a jerk but I suspect that it's an act. His name is Four. I'm assuming it's a nickname.

Four led us on a tour of Dauntless. It's darker than anywhere I've ever been in. The more he talks to the others, the colder he seems. For some reason, though, I don't feel intimidated. He's interesting. When he led us to a giant cafeteria, I found out another thing about me: I'm way too sheltered. The food was absolutely amazing. There were so many things I've never seen before. We spoke to Four then met another leader, Eric. Now he is scary. Even Four seemed intimidated by him.

As the day dragged on, Eric explained how the initiation would go. There are ranks. I have no chance of being ranked high. I'm confident of that. I'm determined to make it through, though. But what else is there to expect? I mean, we jumped on and off of a train and jumped off of a building in the first day. Laying in a dormitory filled with the other initiates, I'm beginning to wonder what I got myself into.
