Today was the day of the test and they both met early, after having breakfast, both nervous, and saying goodbye to their families. They met and went to the bus stop while talking as if today was not important and as if they were both going to pass the test. They had even arranged to have dinner tonight at an elegant restaurant and celebrate that they will have a good life. Christian even thinks about asking Melisa to marry him when all this is over
On the bus, both were quiet, because Christian didn't want to show Melissa that he was terribly scared of what could happen to him, and Melissa didn't want to show herself weak in front of Christian.
They both arrived at the reassignment center, gave each other a big kiss and went to separate lines, hoping to see each other again after all this without being changed
Both went to different rows and nervously opened their respective balls
