"Bella Matthews." Marcus says. I stand up and make my to the 5 bowls that will decide my life. I show no fear and do not wince when I slit my hand. I watch my blood drizzle onto the hot coals of Dauntless. Dauntless. I am Dauntless. I look back at the black-clothed people and go to sit in an empty seat.

Once the Choosing Ceremony is over, the Dauntless take he stairs. I take off my glasses, throw them to the ground, and watch them get crumpled under Dauntless feet. I am Erudite no longer.

I jump onto the train with ease, and go to sit down by Beatrice and a Candor girl. "Hey." I say. "Hey, Bella. This is Christina." She says, gesturing to the Candor girl. "They're jumping off!" A boy yells. I look at the Dauntless-born and sure enough they are jumping off. Beatrice and Christina look a little scared. "Take my hand We can all jump off together." I say. They each take a hand and Christina counts down. "3,2,1! Jump!" She yells. We all jump together. We each stick the landing still hand in hand. I've never had friends before. I've never had anyone I could trust. But, I think this friendship is a sure thing.
