Faction Heights
Tris POV
My alarm is blaring as I search around in the darkness hitting anything I touch to silence it. I finally reach it and realize I've slept through my first alarm at 7:30 and it's now already 7:50...urgh first day back at school and I'm already late. Great start Tris. I roll out of bed and drag myself into the connected bathroom. After standing there for a good 10 minutes I decide I should probably wash my hair, that takes another 10 minutes as my long, thick blonde hair reaches just past my elbows. After another 5 minutes in the shower I decide it's time to actually start getting ready. After I dry myself off and dry my hair, I decide to make an effort as it's the first day of school. And, well I'm not pretty so I should use all the help I can get. My long nose and big grey dull eyes make me look exceptionally ordinary. After straightening my hair I realize I may as well go all out and wear some makeup, after all Christina did force me into buying it. I put the tiniest bit of concealer on with some mascara but that's all I can be bothered doing. I make my way to my huge walk in closet filled with clothes, mainly picked out by Christina, that she said would make me look "hot". After picking out a simple outfit of light-washed ripped boyfriend jeans, a tight fitting white t-shirt with a black leather vest and my favorite platform black Keds, I decide I'm finally ready.
Just when I'm collecting up my books into my black leather handbag I hear Caleb stomping down the stairs...here we go. "BEATRICE! I hope you're ready! We need to leave now or we'll be late and it's the first day back!" "Caleb, for the last time it's TRIS! You don't have to wait for me; we have our own cars...remember? And I still have 15 minutes until I have to leave!" Then the footsteps retreat down the other flight of stairs and he's gone in an instant, probably to study in the library or something. This is how our mornings usually go because our parents are barely home and Caleb feels the need to become the parent, it gets quite annoying actually. I mean, I love him and all, but I need my space sometimes.
I stroll down the stairs and grab an apple for the road. I head out to the garage, out the back, passing mums Ferrari and decide to leave early at 8:35. I jumped into my black Lamborghini Aventador, which I absolutely love and speed off to school. It only took me about 5 minutes to get to school so I'm still a bit early. As soon as I step foot out of my car, my ridiculously excited best friend squeals in my ear after jumping on me. I don't know how I put up with her sometimes. "I missed you so much Trissy!" "I missed you too Chris but I would prefer if you didn't deafen me on my first day back." She just grins and drags me over to the group. The remainder of the group is standing around Zeke's car and I make my way over to see the rest of the group. I spot Uriah and Marlene holding hands, good they finally got together! After talking to them all briefly, Chris and I decide to make our way to the front desk to get our schedules.
Just as we're about to go through the door someone speeds through the front gates on a black Icon Sheene motorbike. He takes off his helmet and ruffles his short dark brown hair back into place. His tight black t-shirt underneath the black leather jacket perfectly shows how fit he is. The remainder of his outfit is plain dark wash jeans and black vans. "Wow, who's the new hottie!" Chris says and I can tell she isn't the only one thinking it. I'll admit, I was even checking out the 'new hottie', as Chris called him. He looks around the parking lot obviously noticing the staring and makes a beeline straight for me and Chris. I started freaking out, why was he walking straight for us? Then I realized we were standing at the front entrance, I started to blush as he was looking straight at us. I pulled Chris through the doors and walked to the front desk to avoid the awkward encounter. We grab our schedules and talk to Tori for a bit, as we turn around I can see the new guy has already made friends with Zeke. That means I should be able to talk to him...I don't know why I'm so intrigued by him. I'm so focused on the new guy that I barely hear Chris, "Tris come on we're holding up the line" and she drags me in the opposite direction to our lockers. I'm a little disappointed but try to forget it. After shoving everything into my locker, Chris and I make our way to homeroom. When I get in the room I dump my books on the desk and make my way over to the group. I wonder if the 'new hottie' will be in this homeroom. I hope Zeke invites him to sit with us at lunch. I say a quick "hi" to everyone so I don't seem rude.
