"I know that, by now!" She replied, tugging on her ponytail. "Try to forget about it for a few minutes at least. Time will pass quicker."

She bit her lip, trying to think of something else. She got about 20 seconds. "Agh! I can't do if!" Her knee was bouncing in anticipation.
"Okay, then try to get more excited. I'm not too sure how that's gonna work, but whatever." Antoinette crossed and uncrossed her legs. "First off: they have hamburgers there. I've never eaten a hamburger."
"Me neither." She glanced at the clock. Again.
Antoinette sighed. "You're helpless, I suppose."She stood from her chair, stretching. "Ugh, I can't get comfortable. I'm too anxious."
"Me neither." She stood up and walked over to the window. She waited there for the Dauntless to get off the trains.
Antoinette followed, resting her elbow on the window sill. She could hear the trains better now and could see it curving around the corner."Soon," She mumbled.
"Good. I can't wait to be doing that instead if watching it for the first time." She watched the train come up, but not stop, and the Dauntless jump out and roll expertly out of the train.
"It looks so cool." Antoinette groaned, the corners of her mouth turning up. "I can't wait either. I wonder how many bruises they have?"
"I doubt they have any, from the trains at least." She watched the train roll away, all of the Dauntless perfectly fine.
"Yeah, but.." Antoinette thought for a moment. "The initiates definitely will. The training's so hard."
"Yeah. They, I mean we," She grinned, "definitely will. Ugh, I can't wait any longer! I just want to go jump on the train now!"
Antoinette laughed, her eyes closed. "You can't wait for black eyes and bruised legs? Me neither!"
"Haha, nope!" She laughed with her. She glanced at the clock quickly again.
Antoinette groaned. "It can't be long until the tests if the Dauntless are here already. They're the ones who will be testing us, anyways."
"Yeah. I really hope it's not much longer." She watched the running Dauntless.
"I think we both do." Antoinette sighed, counting the footsteps of one of the Dauntless. "I can't wait to run everywhere I go. That's gonna be interesting."
"I know, right? I can't wait! I've always wanted to run everyday. Running all the time, I really hurt can't wait!"
"And," Antoinette continued, nodding. "The shoes have to be really comfortable if you're going to run constantly. I wonder..how many pairs to they have? It's not an important concern, but you do have to take it into consideration upon arriving."
"I honestly don't care how many they own. Probably only two or three pairs. As much as we all have, except for the Abnegation, of course."
She nodded again, thinking. "How do you suppose they get new pairs? Surely, they must damage some of them."She wasn't sure why she was discussing shoes in such depth, but there wasn't anything else to talk about.
"Of course they do. I'm guessing that they just buy them, as we all do. Maybe, I'm guessing they have stores."
Antoinette chuckled. The thought of the Dauntless shopping at normal stores was kind of strange."Where are the Dauntless headquarters, anyway? I've never seen it."
"Um, near the fence. I think. I mean, they need to be able to get there quickly, so it only makes sense."
"What do you think is outside the fence?" Antoinette propped herself up on the windowsill. "I think there are other cities with different laws. And nature."
"Me too. They always say that what is out the is dangerous. I don't believe them one bit, though."
"The younger kids in Amity say there are monsters," Antoinette chuckled. "The ones our age don't talk about it much. But it's scientifically impossible for there to be monsters. I mean--where did they come from?"
"Exactly. They can't come from anywhere, which mean they aren't real. I think are more people just like us out there."
Antoinette stared out the window. The train was gone now, but she could see it's last car driving away in the distance. "Do you think we can ever go out there?"
She looked at her in amazement. "I wish! They'll never let us, even if we're guarding it!"
"Maybe someday," Antoinette sighed. "Maybe there's a city out there that doesn't have a government as messed up as ours."
"I bet there is. Why else would they not want us leaving?" She sighed along with her.
"Beats me," Antoinette sighed again. She was tired of sighing, but she couldn't stop herself. "I wish our government wasn't so controlling. They need to stay out of our business."((Sorry, sorry, sorry! I didn't see the response!))
"Exactly! I just don't get it! Why they are like this, what makes them like this, etc."
((Guys please just remember to have atleast five sentences per post))
((Um, Luna said the minimum was three, not five))
((im going to just check, if im wrong sorry!))
((ok you are correct, im very sorry, continue as you were.))
"Maybe we'll find out later," Antoinette chuckled. "Isn't that what happens in your books? They always find things out later on?"
She thought about it for a minute. "Um, I guess. In some of them, at least. Some they never figure it out, some they know it by the beginning, you get it."
"So there's not a certain pattern.." She thought for a moment, watching an Erudite woman walk past the window. "I guess that makes them more fun to read, then?"
She nodded. "Definitely. You never know what to expect until you're done with it."
Antoinette narrowed her eyes, skeptic. "Those actually sound fun. But it's not like I can read one now, with me going to Dauntless and all."
"Yeah. That's what I'm going to miss the most. Besides my siblings, of course."
She nodded, her thoughts whizzing in her head. "It's weird. Our language is just combinations of the same 26 letters, but the words have so much power."She groaned. "I sound like an Erudite. I should go beat something up to get back in the spirit of things."
She laughed at that. "We're not all THAT bad! I mean, most of us, yes. That bad. But a few-including me-not so much."
((Okay, c'ya!))"Stereotypes can get the best of people," Antoinette chimed, shrugging her shoulders. "Including me. Because I am one of the best-of-people."
She smiled. If you say so…by the way, when is the test today? Have you figured outbid its 2 or 5 yet?"
