CHAPTER 1

TRIS POV

I wake up to my alarm clock blaring in my ear. God, I hate thing. Sometimes I wonder about who invented the alarm clock, and if they'll ever make a better sound to wake up to. I guess you can just choose a song.

Anyways, today is September, 9th. Two years ago I would be in college and 22. I internally sigh. Instead of my first day of school, I just have to go to my plain old job. Unlike my friends, I work at Starbucks. My friends include Christina (24), Will (24), Marlene (24), Uriah (24), Shauna (25) and Zeke (25). I met them in high school when I moved from Florida, to here, Chicago. They all know what they want to do with their lives, job wise.

Christina wants to be a fashion designer. I think she has a great chance because she has great fashion sense and loves shopping. Will wants to be a scientist. Marlene wants to become a therapist and also wants to help children all over the world. Shauna wants to be a teacher. Zeke wants to be a cop and Uriah wants to be a video game developer. What's also very funny is that they are all dating each other and I'm the lonely bird. The couples are Christina and Will, Marlene and Uriah and Shauna and Zeke.

Then there is me. Tris Prior. I don't know what I want to be. Growing up I always wanted to be a singer and musician. In college I took courses that would help me pursue a career in art and drama. Now, as I am out of college, my dreams changed. I don't have a clue about what I want to do anymore. Like, at all.

So that brings me to my temporary job at Starbucks. Honestly I would love to quit my job right now but I need the money. Working at Starbucks is really boring.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts by my phone buzzing. I got a text from Christina.

C- GET UP! I'm dropping you of today! Be there in 20 mins.

Me- Cool! Thx!

The gang (that's what I call my group of friends) always offer to drop me off because I have an old rusty Toyota as my car. I like my car but I usually ride my bike or long board places.

I hop out of bed and rush to the shower. I come out in 10 minutes and throw on some faded jeans, a t-shirt and my Vans. As you can tell, I could really care less about fashion. I run downstairs, pour some cereal into a bowl and eat really fast. I hear a horn honk and I know its Christina. I run out the door grabbing my book bag, phone and keys. I lock my door and walk to Christina's BMW.

"Hey! Wassup?" Christina asks as I get in.

"Nothing." I reply grumpily. Its too early in the morning for me.

"Well, someone woke up on the wrong side of their bed. Anyways, guess what! I applied to 5 fashion companies so I'm waiting for a reply. If I get a job we can go shopping all day and get so many discounts..."

I lean my head on the window and sigh as Christina rambles on. Sometime my friends are so annoying They always throw parties, take me to the mall, interrogate me about my love life, but I love them and they support me.

We arrive in a few minutes and Christina stops in front of the doors. I get out of the car and thank Christina. As I enter, the smell of coffee fills my nose. I head to the back and put on an apron with the Starbucks logo in front.

"Hey Tris! How is your day going?" asks one of my co workers, Lauren.

"Great! Are you guys having a busy day today."

"No. Not really, pretty slow actually, oh customer! Bye!" she replies heading to the counter. I turn back to the coffee makers and start making a fresh batch.

FOUR POV

I wake up in my single bed to my phone's alarm. I groan, get up, shower and go get dressed. After I'm ready I head to the kitchen in my apartment to see Rick, my best friend and roommate, awake.

"What's up bro! I'm coming home late today, just telling you before hand." I smile. Rick was always a great friend and a great roommate.

"Cool. I'm just heading out for work so bye, see you later!" I say as I grab an apple, my keys, phone and wallet while walking out the door.

I hear his faint goodbye from outside as I lock the door and start walking towards the elevators. I work at the Apple store near where I live in Chicago. Being 28, you'd think I would have a proper job but this is how I like it. Living on the wild side where you can easily take a day off of work to spend time with friends and family. Except I only have one friend and no family.

I moved out right when I was 18 because my dad abused me. Right when I was old enough, I got up and left that ass hat back at home. My mom died when I was younger and I have no siblings so you could basically say I was alone for my whole life. After these events I was always a mysterious person and didn't like meeting new people. I still don't.

All I have now is Rick who I met in college. After we met we always stuck together. His family lives here, in Chicago, and Rick visits them often. He also has 2 little sisters and 2 little brothers. His family is huge compared to mine. Rick and I bought our own apartment after college and now here we are.

I walk to my white Mercedes in the parking lot and get in. I just sit in the front seat thinking about my life for a little bit. I always like to take parts of my day to just think. I think about things like current events, but mostly my future. I never think about the past unless its a good memory.

I never really knew what I wanted to do with my life. Right now I am fine with my job. It has good pay, enough to keep me alive with food and shelter, that is. I internally groan realizing I'm early and have time to kill before I go to work. I decide to get coffee.

Pulling my car out of the lot, I remember that the nearest Dunkin' Doughnuts is now closed. I sigh and decide to head to a Starbucks even though I hate how expensive they are . I drive around and see one near by and head there.

I park my car and walk in hearing the little bell above the door ring. I hear the buzz of a phone knowing it was mine. I look down at my phone and start walking forward. All of a sudden, I bump into something small and soft. I look up, (well down because she is so short!) and see that I bumped into one of the workers and made her spill the coffee she was holding all over her shirt.

So yah! This is my first ever fanfiction and I was just so inspired after all the ones I have read. I really wanted to be a part of this community and made an account. So review and tell me what you think about my story so far. If you have questions leave them in your reviews. Before I leave I want to say that number one, I am still a teen and young so I don't know everything about life and don't have the best grammar (please have mercy!), number two, this is my first fanfiction, like ever, and number three I AM CANADIAN! SO yah I might spell things differently (FAVOURITE) and also I have no idea about Starbucks because Tim Hortons all the way so don't judge. lol

BYE GUYS :)
