     "How is she?" I ask my dad when he comes out of my room.

     "She's doing a lot better. I persuaded her to shower so you need to go check on her in a minute." Dad says. "But she's a smart kid. She knows there is no use in grieving for long cause it won't help."

"Okay." I say and walk into my room. I wanted to look semi nice today but I'm not entirely sure. I decide on a black crop top and skinny jeans. "Bianca?" I ask and she comes out of the bathroom in one of my bathrobes.

"Yeah?" She asks. "I'm doing better."

     "I know you are." I smile. "What job do you think you'll get?"

      The new dauntless system doesn't have rankings for the first two stages so at the end it is totally unexpected and we pick our jobs that day.

      "I'm not sure." Bianca says. "Maybe a surgeon, I mean I'd love to cut a bunch of people open. Dauntless has plenty of hot injuries. And saving a life seems pretty cool since I couldn't save Nicks you know?"

      "I think that's amazing!" I almost scream. 

      "What about you?" Bianca asks. I hadn't thought a lot about it honestly.

      "I guess I'll know when I get there. A surgeon sounds fun though." I smile evilly and wiggle my eyebrows. "You know I'm really happy you're better."

      "I'm recovering." She says and pulls out some clothes from my closet. She gets out the leather jacket she keeps here and slides it on over a black tank with skinny jeans.

     "Let's go come on. Oh and I have something awesome to tell you! Can you be a girl for a few seconds now?" I ask excitedly.

     "I can try." Bianca says folding her hands into her back pocket.

      "Noah kissed me." I blurt.

      "Really?" Bianca asks with a gleam in her eyes. "Good! Seeing you and Noah together almost make me forget my sucky love life." She grins.

      "Glad your supportive." I comment.

      "I've been supportive since we were three." Bianca snorts. "But when? Where?"

     "Yesterday but I have the tingling sensation it was just because I was sad. We got on the topic of my mom and I barely remember how but I said sometimes at night when I have nothing to think about I think of her, and he said 'why don't you think of this?' Or something like that and kissed me!" I rant.

     "Nah he really likes you." Bianca says.

     "Really?" I ask kinda holding she's right. Actually really hoping.

     "I think. But who understands boys anyway?" Bianca shrugs.

     "Fair enough." I say and we walk into the put where over half of dauntless is gathered. We struggle toward the front and Noah waits there with Chloe.

     "I'm sorry about your baby!" Chloe says patronizing.

     "You should probably shut up." Bianca says calmly and turns back to the board the rankings will be posted on. Amaryllis squeezes through the crowd to us.

     "Did I miss anything?" She asks.

     "Only Chloe about to get decapitated." I mutter to her. Amaryllis smiles a little to herself.

Eric, my dad, and Scull go up to the front and my dad gathers the paper with the rankings. The writing is in dark words so it's easier to make out.
