Independent Study (The Testing, #2)

by Joelle Charbonneau

my twin brothers, Hart and Win.

Why did I not realize she was a twin?

The Testing this year.

Oh no.

No matter their flaws, I don’t want to believe any are capable of the whispered, sometimes hard to make out words inside the recorder.

Not a denial plot :/

Tomas

My boy <3

None of the questions I failed to answer are math- or science-related—the subjects I believe are most important to Mechanical Engineering.

The test anxiety is very relatable.

Will

LEAVE

Kit,

Brick

He's back!

Stacia

Oh.

Vale, Malencia—Pass—Government

This'll be fun!

Will.

This'll be REALLY fun!

To do so would be like saying their deaths don’t matter.

Parallel to the quote in the first book.

History says that progress often requires sacrifice, but what kind of progress can we claim when it is built on the lives of the citizens it is supposed to aid?

University student I had a crush on

He better not be gay...

Finally got his name!

report for The Testing.”

Just like the capital kids.

“None of them have been heard from since.”

Perhaps we have reached our plot

Trust wars with love.

“Because sometimes the best leaders are the ones who have no interest in leading. Those are often the ones who are most interested in doing what is right, not what is popular.”

Enzo

I like him :)

“In this is food, water, and a list of locations your team needs to find.

It giving Divergent Capture The Flag.

“Captains will choose one team member at a time

Calling it... She's Picking Enzo.

“Enzo.”

Told Ya.

But he doesn’t.

He's a goner.

Oop

Tomas’s brother

First mention

“No. We don’t need to sabotage other teams to succeed.”

“Cia will,”

He has something up his sleeve fs

Leaders—real leaders—must think of others before themselves. They need to consider the consequences of their actions and only sacrifice lives when the needs of many outweigh the needs of the few.

People look out for themselves and their friends.”

The larger the population, the less our leaders feel personally accountable to each citizen under their care.

This is not the end of the challenges I will face. There are more. Harder. Maybe deadlier. I must be ready for them all.

serve?

Scared this is actually what their goal is.

To trust when trust is not only hard, but potentially deadly.

As is learning when to say enough is enough.

Damone

Why do i think he's going to die soon.

“It takes a lot of courage to choose to do nothing when you aren’t certain of the outcome.

success comes only if we trust and work well with those around us.”

“Because you did too well.”

It's Giving Tris in the fear landscape.

Rawson, a boy who left his colony and survived The Testing, is gone.

You're kidding!!!

My team won this Induction task, but that victory wasn’t worth the cost. No victory is.

Burning the plant and breathing in the fumes causes an even speedier death.

Why do I feel like this is important?

“What do you remember?”

Very defensive. He remembers.

“I didn’t know how to tell you.”

Bro

Tomas’s betrayal.

Betrayal? That's A bit dramatic.

“What happened to Zandri?”

Here we go BABYYY

There are tears on Tomas’s cheeks.

Ohmy gosh. Poor baby!

If you hadn’t left Will and me alone—”

Oh my brother in christ, that was NOT the right thing to say.
