"Hey!" I hear someone yell. I feel a strong pair of arms yank the Candor girl off of me, and I collapse onto my knees, gasping for breath. The crowd mumbles and disperses back into lines. Someone grabs me around my waist and lifts me up.
"You okay?" The voice is smooth and melodious.
I turn around, only to be facing the neck of a Dauntless guy. I take a step back in surprise, and he chuckles.
"I'm fine." I say, touching my neck gingerly.
"You know, I didn't know Amities knew how to fight like that." He tells me.
"I grew up with brothers." I explain, finally looking up at his face and into his bright blue eyes.
He holds our his hand. "I'm Zeke."
"Caroline." I shake his hand gently. I notice how large his hand is compared to mine, and the rough texture of the palm.
"Caroline!" I hear my brother calling me. I can see he's almost at the entrance to the school. The line must be moving.
"It was nice to meet you, Zeke." I tell him, hurrying off to meet my brother. I can feel my cheeks burning, and I smile to myself. Zeke.
