Chapter Sixteen

The rankings are being released and Four explains how the ranking are qualified. She thinks that he looks at her because she's nervous.... right. That's why he's looking at you....

-You get a score for your level of skill
-1st fight, if you beat someone of a higher level you get points, if you prey on the weak you lose points
-2nd fight is the same thing
-The 1st stage of initiation is weighted less than the 2nd and 3rd

Cristina get's ranked 4th, Al 8th, and Tris 6th. Edward is ranked 1st and Peter is 2nd. There is a lot of tension in the room and Tris notices that Peter is really calm even though, normally, he would be furious.

Later that night Tris wakes up to people shuffling around the room and then after a shriek that no one will forget, running footsteps. The lights go on and Edwards eye has been stabbed. Tris's Abnegation takes over and while everyone else is frozen, she helps Edward and makes sure he doesn't pull it out of his eye. After
Edward is headed to the hospital, Tris cleans the blood off of the floor because no one else will. The only people that weren't in the room were Peter and Drew so they totally had to have done it. All the initiates are haunted by what happened and no one really sleeps for the rest of that night.  The next day, they are informed that Edward and Myra quit and are now factionless.

I was actually scared while reading this because it was described in a way that everyone can imagine and it was so meticulous in the choosing of words, I loved it. I also noticed that in this situation Tris's selflessness made her brave. That in some way makes her have an advantage over the initiates.

After the incident Al flat out hits on Tris and she thinks it's really uncomfortable and I'm almost positive a lot of girls can relate to this... (Friend zone.)

Tris loves the Dauntless faction and wants to be first in order to be a leader, to turn it back to its original Faction Manifesto (Rules written directly after formed.)

"Sometimes crying or laughing are the only options left, and laughing feels better right now."
