A/N: So, this is my new story! I decided to write it because (if you read my bio) I love to do musical theatre. And *poof* the idea came to my mind. I'm really excited for it!

{Tris' POV}
I, Beatrice (aka Tris) Prior have been waiting my whole life for this. I got accepted into my dream college, Dauntless University. It's a school for kids who want to be on Broadway someday.
Not just that, it's the best performing arts college in the country.
And I got accepted. It's a dream come true.
I've been performing since I was four. I immediately fell in love with it after my first musical, The Lion King, when I played 'Timor'.
I have an older, more perfect brother named Caleb. He wants to be a lawyer. He attends Harvard University.
My mother has always supported my dreams. My dad is less then thrilled.
He believes that performers can't succeed in life, lawyers can.
I don't listen to that crap. I have a dream and I want it to come true.
So, as I walk to my dorm I don't think it's possible for me to be more determined.
I came here by myself because my dad refused to come and my mom had work. It doesn't bother me though; I'd prefer that they not come.
I walk into my dorm and see a brown haired and dark skinned girl. She sees me and smiles.
"Hi! I'm Christina!"
"Tris! Nice to meet you!"
"Same to you!"
I start to unpack and set up my bed.
Soon it's time for orientation. Chris and I walk down to the auditorium and sit down next to each other. Soon a loud voice fills the room.
"Hello Freshmen! Welcome to Hell, aka Dauntless! This school is for the elite only. So, if you can't dance like MJ, sing like Whitney, or act like Clooney, then leave!'
He pauses for a second then continues.
"My name is Max! I'm the dean here at DU. Do not call me Mr. Max or I will kill you. It's Max or suspension. Got it?"
We all nod and he continues.
"You all will have opportunities to audition for off and on Broadway shows. From 'Annie', to ' Funny Girl' we will give you all amazing opportunities to showcase your talents on the big stage. Use them wisely or get out!"
He points to a young looking man with beautiful blue eyes.
"Four, over here, will be teaching some of you Broadway history and stage combat!"
I have those classes.
"He might be only two years older than you all but he is elite! If you succeed in his class, you are considered elite! Got it!"
We all nod.
"Good! Now go to the cafeteria and get some food! Dauntless is known for their cake!"
We all stay seated.
"Did any of you hear me?! LEAVE!"
We all get up and head towards the cafeteria.
Once we get there a group of kids pull us to sit with them.
"Hi! I'm Marlene!"
She points to the rest of them and introduces us.
"That's Uriah, Will, Shauna, Zeke, Lynn, Lauren, and Four."
"Hi! I'm Christina and that's Tris!"
I wave at them.
"Sit with us! Us freshmen need to stick together!" Uriah yells.
We laugh.
"Freshmen? Four, Lauren, Shauna, and I are juniors! What are you talking about little bro?"
"Here we go again…" Lynn states.
Uriah and Zeke start to argue while we all finish our food.
"Freshmen are better then juniors!"
"Don't even try Uri! Juniors rule the campus!"
"I thought those were seniors?" Marlene remarks earning a smile from Uriah and a scowl from Zeke.
I laugh.
I turn my head and start to talk to Four and Lauren about the campus. Four is really interesting. I can't help but get lost in his eyes.
Him and Lauren are really nice. I surprisingly don't find it weird to be talking to my professor.
Soon it's time for my to go to my first class, Broadway history. Four teaches it, so we walk together.
"So Tris, where are you from?"
"I'm from a small town outside of Chicago called Abnegation."
"Me too! My dad's the mayor there. Marcus Eaton?"
"Oh my god! My dad's his assistant! Andrew Prior?"
"I know Andrew! Wow! What a small world!"
"I know right!"
We get to the lecture hall and I sit down.
Ten kids show up to the class in all.
Chris sits next to me and Four starts his lecture.
"Welcome to Broadway history! My name's Four and I'll be teaching the ten of you. This class isn't just going be about Broadway, I'm also going to assign a theme for you all every week. When I tell you the theme you must pick out a song and sing it to us. Your grade is based on this. Choose wisely."
We all nod and he continues.
"This week's assignment is…"
He walks up to the black board and writes something.
"New York. You must take your emotions and come up with a song that shows everyone how you felt on your first day here in NYC. When you finish singing, you will write a word on a piece of paper, so will I. That word will be how you sum up what you were feeling while singing the song. If we have the same word, you get five extra bonus points. If it's a synonym, three extra bonus points, and if it's not even close to my word, you will not receive any extra points. Got it?"
We all nod.
This is intense.
"Now the first thing we plan on studying for Broadway History is the creation of Broadway…"
He continues on until class is over. I quickly leave and head to the library.
I hope youtube can help me choose a song.
I laugh to myself.
This is gonna be a long year.
