Drew. My eyebrows knit together. I never particularly liked Drew, but I didn't find myself wishing he wasn't an initiate with me. I just put him in the file with all the Candor- Smart mouths. He was just one more. But now, now that I see what he's done, I hope he trips and falls into the chasm.

"Drew?" Chris says, looking and sounding confused.

"Christina." He smiles wickedly.

"You... you..." I say through clenched teeth. I trail off though, not seeming to have a strong enough word in my vocabulary.

"Shut up, Stiff."

"She's not a Stiff. Shut the heck up Drew. I don't think you know who I am. I'm Zeke. You shot my brother. That wasn't a good idea." Zeke walks over to Drew and looks down to him, because Zeke is easily about 4 inches taller. Drew swallows nervously.

"Zeke," Marlene says with a warning tone. Zeke continues to stand there. After a moment, he kicks Drew in the stomach, and he hunches over, giving Zeke the opportunity to kick his head. As he does that, I flinch. The rest of us are only standing there, because Zeke can hold his own. Zeke continues to kick Drew's head. Drew groans numerous times and falls to the ground. When he does, Zeke stands over him, breathing heavily.

"Zeke!" Marlene cries. She's totally fit for Dauntless, but still, she is very kind. Marlene bends down next to Drew.

"Drew, why would you do that to Uriah?" Chris yells. We all stare at him curiously.

"Because! He took Marlene! I'm... I'm in lover with her!" Drew cries, finding his voice again. I can feel my eyes widen. Drew likes... Marlene?

"What?" Marlene asks. "You... love... me?" He nods in response.

"Why? You barely know me." Marlene and Drew have locked eyes.

"I do know you. At least enough to know that I like you." Drew glances at Uriah and smirks at him.

"I'm still trying to figure out what she sees in you," Drew says to Uriah.

"Drew, shut up! I love Uriah! I will never love you! No one is better than Uriah. I guess you haven't figured it out yet, but the way to win a girl over isn't to be so rude about get boyfriend!" Marlene cries, showing a side I'd never seen of her before.

"Sorry," Drew mumbles.

"Yeah. You should be." Marlene looks really frustrated by now. Suddenly, I hear a gun being fired. Close by. But when I look, no one is in the doorway. It's only everyone who was here before. And I can tell that Drew didn't do anything, and plus, Marlene would've noticed.

"You guys!" Christina cries, and we all whip our heads around to see her standing by Uriah, who, I for one, had completely forgotten about. "I can't feel Uriah's heartbeat anymore!"
