When Tris, Christina, and Will leave, I congratulate Uriah, Lynn, and Marlene on ranking second, third, and fourth. help but smile at the thought that Tris ranked first and is staying in Dauntless.

A second later, Zeke slaps me on the back. "I'm so happy that Tris likes you back!"

I glare at Zeke. He and Shauna were the only ones who knew that I had feelings for the Abnegation transfer since I first met her.

"I can't believe you have a girlfriend, Four!" Shauna exclaims, nearly shouting.

Next, Zeke says, "Remember those group dates when your date always left you because-"

I cut him off by jokingly saying, "Shut up, Ezekiel." He cringes at the use of his full name.

"So, how did you guys get together?" asks Uriah, wiggling his eyebrows.

"Well, I liked her since the beginning of initiation," I start to explain. I launch into the stories of when Tris and I climbed the Ferris wheel, when I took her into my fear landscape, and everything in between.

After I answer lots of questions, asked mostly by Zeke, Uriah asks, "Do you know if Tris is coming to the party tonight?"

"No," I respond. "She probably will, though."

"I'm going to go ask her." Uriah starts to walk away, but I stop him.

"Oh, Uriah?" He turns to look at me. "If Tris is going to the party, can you ask her to meet me outside my apartment at 6:45."

"No problem," he says, before running towards the exit of the Dining Hall. When he is gone, we all stare at Marlene. Zeke has told me multiple times that Uriah has a crush on her for a long time, but he's too scared to do anything about it.

"What?" she asks, confused by all of the stares we are giving her.

"He likes you, you know," says Zeke.

"Who? Uriah?"

"Yes, Uriah," I say.

"We're just friends," she says, her face getting red.

"Whatever you say, Mar," Shauna teases.

We stay in the dining hall for a little longer talking about what jobs Marlene and Lynn will choose. Marlene is going to be a nurse and Lynn wants to be a Dauntless leader-in-training. After we leave, I go to the jewelry store to get a gift for Tris, to congratulate her on completing initiation and ranking first.

It takes me about a half an hour to find something perfect for her. I choose a necklace with a heart locket. I check out the necklace and head to the control room.

On my way, I stop at the flower shop to get flowers for Tris. I walk into the store and immediately find flowers for her. They are black and purple and are called Irises.

I also stop at the clothing store. I don't really have anything to wear. Before Tris, I didn't really see the point of going to parties. I find a black suit, a black dress coat, and a dark grey tie as well as some black shoes.

When I get to the control room, I scroll through the videos of the last few weeks. I recently figured out a feature where you can pause video footage and take a photo of it. It isn't long before I find the perfect video. The footage shows us walking back from the chasm after we first kissed. I take a photo and print out a copy in a size that fits into the locket.

I walk back to my apartment. Once I get there, I cut out the photo and place it into the locket. Then, I grab a sticky note from my desk and write a note for Tris.

VI,

I'm so happy that you made it into Dauntless. You did great on your final test. I can't wait to get to know you more now that initiation is over.

-IV

When I finish writing, I stick the note on top of the box. Then, I get ready for the party. When I am done, I look at myself in the mirror and smile. For the first time since my Choosing Ceremony, I feel like I made the right choice choosing Dauntless.
