Chapter 1 - Tris POV
My alarm clock blared in my ear. I groaned and turned it off and groggily got out of bed, still rubbing sleep from my eyes. Then it hit me. Today was my first day back to school. Ya see, my dad got a new job here in Chicago last year, working for the government. He's super famous and my mom is a well-known actress too, so you could say my family pretty rich. We live in a huge house with an arcade room, a party room, an indoor pool, a bowling alley, a private movie theatre, and my huge closet. And we also have 6 bedrooms. Pff, like we'll need that many!
I groaned. Does school have to start again? I thought summer just started! I decided to make my first impression back to school noticeable so I chose to wear a sleeve less black top with black, ripped jeans and my good old black high tops. Then I glanced at the clock. Crap! It was 6:50 and school starts at 7:15! I still gotta get my schedule and find my locker! I grab my bag, ran down the stairs, grab a granola bar and run into my sky blue convertible and drive to school.
I got to school 10 minuets early and headed to the office. There, I met a smiling woman.
"Hi Tris! How was summer?" she asked.
"Good Tori! I came to pick up my schedule."
She hands me a slip of paper attached to my schedule. I smile and head out of the office and briefly glance at my schedule:
First Period - Science - Mr. Anderson
Second Period - American History - Ms. Smith
Third Period - Math - Mrs. Davis
Fourth Period - Lunch
Fifth Period - Writing - Mrs. Funk
Sixth Period - Art - Ms. Miller
Seventh Period - Gym - Mr. Swanson
I smile, I guess that Tori's gonna be my art teacher! Just then I spotted a girl across the hall. She is tall and tan with short black hair up to her shoulders, with sparkling brown eyes. Christina!
"OMG!" we both squealed at the same time. You see Chris and I have been besties since I don't remember when!
"I missed you sooooo much Tris!" she squeaked, squeezing the life out of me
"Chris, we saw each other 3 weeks ago." I informed her.
"I know but still! Can you believe it? We're in high school now! Ahh, time flies huh? It seems like just yesterday we were trying out for the cheerleading squad in 6th grade!" she sighed.
I giggled "Come on Chris, lets go find our lockers!"
I found my locker right next to Chris'! I pin my schedule onto my locker with cute magnets and fill the background of my locker with sea wallpaper. I stack my books I won't need into my locker selves and place a mirror into my cabinet. I glance over and find Uriah's locker 5 lockers down. Uriah has been my boyfriend since 7th grade. He's tall and handsome, with dark tanned skin, dark brown hair and dark eyes. His smile looks white against his bronze skin. I love his smile. I spot him at his locker and run over to give him a hug.
"Woah Trissy!" he jumped "I didn't expect you to be here this early" he said giving me a peck on the lips.
"Well, I couldn't stay away from my boyfriend for too long. I figured you'd be here early." I giggled
"Turn around" he whispered. So I did and he clasped a beautiful necklace with a heart pendant around my neck.
"It's beautiful!" I gasped, running to the mirror in my locker to see the necklace "Oh Uri! I love it! Thank you so much!" I kissed him on the lips and wrapped my arms around his neck. He kissed me back and tugged me closer as his lips bit mine softly. That is his signature move while kissing. I pull back as say "Well, I missed that a lot". Still linking hands we walk to our first class, kiss before separating.
My three classes go by so quickly. Then it's lunch. I run in line and grab some dauntless cake along with a coke. I sit down at our usual table with Chris, Will, Marlene, Shauna, Lynn, Uriah, Eric, Peter, Cara, Lauren, Robert and I notice Zeke's not here yet. Eh, who cares? Then Zeke comes over with a guy I've never seen before. He well built like a surfer and has ocean colored eyes.
"Guys, this is Four. Four this is Chris, Will, Marlene, Shauna, Lynn, my bro Uriah and Tris" Zeke says pointing to each of us in turn. Four's eyes lay on me for a second too long and then looks away, embarrassed. I smile, and feel Uriah's arm wrap around my shoulders. 'Well, this got a whole lot more dramatic huh?' I thought.
