Chapter 1:

Tris POV

I wake up to Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. I groan as I hear Caleb stomp to my bedroom. "Beatrice wake up! It's the first day of school!" "How many times have I told you NOT to call me Beatrice! Since we moved I want to be called Tris okay?" "Fine. Mom says get up." I roll out of bed and push my annoying older brother out of my room. Over the summer my family and I moved to Chicago for my Dad's job. My mom and my dad are successful charity owners. Everyone except for me is good at something "useful" as my parents would say. Apparently cheerleading and singing aren't "useful" extra curricular activities, but I'm going to do what I enjoy doing! I make my way into my bathroom and take a quick shower. Once I get out I blow dry and straighten my ombre hair. My new high school has this thing called factions and over the summer I took a test that told me which faction I should choose. I chose Dauntless. According to my student handbook the Dauntless wear black clothing. I pull out a black Imagine Dragons t-shirt and denim shorts that I got from Hollister. I pull on my black Vans and grab my backpack and leave my room. As I stomp downstairs I run into my Dad who eyes my outfit and rolls his eyes. "Beatrice is that appropriate to wear to school?" "Its fine Dad and please call me Tris!" I leave my dad and go to the kitchen grab an apple and go to the bus stop. Neither Caleb nor I can drive yet since he is only 10 months older than me and neither of us are 16 yet. I'm an incoming sophomore at Roth High School. The bus gets here and Caleb and I head to the back. I pull out my headphones and plug them into my iPhone and put on my daily playlist. Warrior by Demi Lavato comes on and I start humming along. Nobody outside my family knows this but I battle depression so I admire Demi and her courage to get help. The bus stops and we get off. I go to the office to get my schedule and a lady named Tori (our student counselor) gives me a schedule.

I got all the classes I wanted; now I just hope the teachers are nice. As I make my way to my locker I bump into a girl with dark skin and brown curly shoulder length hair with caramel highlights. "Oh my god I'm so sorry! Hey, you must be new here. I'm Christina. You are?" "I'm Tris and yeah today is my first day here. Could you help me find my locker? Its number 317." "Yeah sure! That's just a couple away from mine and I was just headed there!" I follow Christina down the large and crowded hallways to a row of lockers. "Here we are!" I pull the lock out of my backpack that I was told to bring. I open my new locker and put all my books except for my first two classes stuff into the locker then I start to decorate. I hang pictures of my old friends and some pictures that I took at the Imagine Dragons concert I went to over the summer. "You like Imagine Dragons?" "Yeah I went to one of their concerts over the summer." "That's awesome! My whole group of friends likes them. You should sit with us at lunch! Meet me outside the cafeteria before lunch okay? Great!" she screeches before I can answer. Eh. It will be better than sitting with Caleb. "Okay cool. I'm gonna go to class now. Bye Christina." I walk away and into my first class. "Hi my name is Tris and Im new here and I just wanna make sure I got the class room right. Are you Ms. Burnes?" "Yes dear. Welcome to AP History!" I nod my head and pick up a text book and head to the back of the room where I hope no one will sit next to me. I watch the other students file into the room, sometimes in clumps of 2 or 3 or by themselves. A tall boy with dark hair and these amazing royal blue eyes walks in and come and sits right next to me! Why? I have no idea. "Hi. Im Four and you are?" "Im Tris. No offense but why are you talking to me? Most people don't talk to me on purpose…" He lets out a deep chuckle and turns back to me. "Im talking to you because youre new and I thought since you didn't know anyone that I would say hi and introduce myself. Sorry for being nice." He turns away and I feel bad. "No, im sorry. I just was confused. Even at my old school people didn't really talk to me. That's all. Do you happen to be friends with Christina by any chance?" "Yeah, why?" "Oh I was just wondering. She asked me to sit with her so I was wondering if I would know more than one person." "Oh. Okay yeah. I will be there." The bell rings and Ms. Burnes starts teaching. Four and I pass notes the whole time and I have to hold in a chuckle a few times.

(A/N: Four is italic, tris is regular. K bi)

Hey, guess what.

What Four?

Class is almost over. Hey can I have your number so we can text during class?

Sure its 231-789-5634

K thanks. I will text you and say its me.

The bell rings and I grab my stuff and leave the room. Four seems like an interesting person and I find myself being impatient for lunch to come.

A/N: So that's it! My first chapter! I will probably do at least one more chapter tonight because I have no life and im bored. Let me know what you think! K thnks bby bi
