Two days later, Matt summons all of us to the Pit. No one else is there except the initiates, both transfers and Dauntless-borns; twenty-four in all. Matt and Rachel stand on a raised platform at the center of the room, and I have a feeling I know what this meeting is about.
"Initiates," Rachel begins. Her voice is authoritative, especially for a girl. "You all have done exceptionally well during the first stage of initiation. However, we feel, as instructors, that seven of you would not be able to adapt to life as Dauntless members. Here are your rankings."
She reveals a large chalkboard hanging on the wall.
Matt continues, saying, "If you are below the line, you will be leaving us today." They step away and we run towards the board, all anxious to find out if we've been thrown out of the faction we chose.

I can't believe my eyes. I actually made it. We made it. I turn and embrace Cassandra, no longer worried about who might see us. "We made it. We made it!"
Cassandra laughs, and the sound is like music to my ears. I kiss her on the forehead and smile. "I love you, you know." She takes my hand, and we hug once more.
"I love you, too."
