I wake up at six in the morning, like I have been trained to do everyday of my life ever since my brother Caleb woke me up to a lovely refreshing bucket of ice-cold water (note my sarcasm.) Those were some sad times. When I finally recover from seeing spots I stare at my calendar, not really processing what day it is, the calendar stares back at me. I trudge to the bathroom, brush my teeth and splash some water on my face not bothering to dry my face or look for my towel. Walking back to my calendar I find the date. That is when I realize today was the day my life was finally worth living. I am going to Dauntless to start my awesome career. Being of some service to this country. Being a spy. I rush to my wardrobe to throw on any item of clothing that comes to hand. Big mistake. I end up wearing my dad's baggy shirt my jeans from sixth year and the world's ugliest socks. I change again, taking more care this time. I wear black skinny jeans and a black sleeveless shirt that reveals my ravens; they symbolize my mum dad and brother even though my dad left when I was young. Without knowing a tear slips through my eye.
"Pathetic," I mutter.
I race down the stairs only to find Caleb with the dreaded bucket of water in his hands. I take it from him and put it over his head.
"That's a really nice look on you, you know? You should really thank me, I'll take fifty pounds…" I say
"I'll give you a slap!" my brother says.
Laughing to myself I grab a waffle and yell,
"Adios mum! I'm going to start the career of my dreams!"
" Okay honey, have fun!" my mum yells back.
As I walk to the secret address that only people who were offered the job know, I wonder if my family really believes in me, they all take it for a joke. They think I'm too weak. I know I'm strong and I'll prove it to them. If only I could get someone to have faith in me…
