I walked over to the group of transfers, right next to a girl name Bethany. She was an Amity transfer. She grabbed my hand and shook it very hard.
"I'm Bethany Jackson!" She whispered into my ear. I nodded and told her my name. I looked around at all the other people who chose Erudite. I found, of course, the smartest boy in our year, Ethan Ryan. Of course he'd stay In Erudite. Then, I noticed who he was talking to. I wandered over to them, trying to make it seen natural. He was talking to the owner of those gray eyes. I got over to them and just stood there, pretending I was watching the Ceremony. In reality, I was listening to their conversation. They were talking about Erudite Initiation.
"...So then they make you take an IQ test, and if you score below a certain point you don't join." Ethan said to a third boy who transferred from Amity.
"Did you ever get a chance to study?" The boy, named Jacob, asked.
"Well, you spend the whole year learning, if that's what you mean." It came from the boy with the beautiful eyes. Kendal. I had known Kendal a while back. And, after all that happened in the last year, I was back with him and ready to pick up where we left off.
