Okay, so I haven't wrote very many stories and my grammar stinks but I'm going to try writing a Divergent high story, please hang in with me and comment possible suggestions for future chapters I hope to write.
I hold a small slip of paper in front of me, reading off it as I walk down the busy streets of Chicago. My plane just landed and I am anxious to find my hostel that is located by the school that I will be going to with the foreign exchange program I signed up for.
Reading off the slip, I stop and glance around. Oh no, I'm lost.
I can't believe I got lost, ugh! An hour in a different country and I'm already lost. I left home to come here in hope of finding a place I belong and I can't even find the place I will be staying!
Busy staring at the slip, holding back tears of anger and frustration, I bump into something. No, not something, someone.
"I'm so sorry!" I exclaim as a suitcase handle falls from the girls hands.
"Oh don't worry about it," The tall girl with black hair and tan skin replies, picking up the suitcase, "I wasn't looking where I was going either, I'm kinda lost," she finishes, looking at her feet in embarrassment.
"Me too, where you headed to?" I ask, she doesn't look like she's from Chicago, she might be in the same program as me.
"Some hostel called 'Divergent' that was supposed to be on this street but I guess not," She said in a voice that suggests she's not fully frustrated, just bored.
"Wow! So am I, that probably isn't a coincidence, though, I hear the program just got a lot of new applicants." I say, starting to babble.
She laughs, "Then I guess we can find Divergent together, oh, and by the way, my names Christina" Christina says, holding out her hand.
I smile, she seems nice. I take her hand, "Tris" I reply.
She glances at my small carry on, "Is that all your clothes?" She asks in disbelief as we start walking in the direction I guess is where Divergent is located.
"Yup, I'm not very big on clothes." I reply, laughing as she adjusts her two giant suitcases.
"Well, we will have to change that! School starts in a week, and you do not want to start school with out a personal style, trust me. American school is chaos without the right outfit." Christina seems like the person who will always be at the mall, great. I hate the mall.
I laugh harder and start looking at the surrounding buildings, not knowing how to respond.
Suddenly, she stops.
"Is that it?" She asks me, squinting at a sign in small letters. It reads 'Divergent'.
"Yes! Come on, lets go inside!" I say, with a sudden burst of excitement, dragging her as fast as you would dare to drag a person carrying two giant suitcases.
Finally, we make it inside and walk up to a lady at the front desk.
The lady smiles at us, "Hello, you must be Beatrice and Christina." She says, reading off a list from her computer.
"Yes, but it's just Tris" I reply sweetly, smiling back.
"Well, Tris and Christina, welcome. I'll explain a little bit about this hostel you may need to know. Divergent is made specifically for foreign exchange students and is split up into two sections. The boys stay in one and the girls in the other, considering your teenagers. We have supervisors that will make sure you get to and from school. There aren't many foreign exchange students at the moment here, but eventually there will be. There is a kitchen downstairs if you need anything and the owner of the building is Max," She points to a man standing in a corner, in my haste to get in here, I must not have noticed him, "You may ask him or me if you have any questions. We also have another employee, Eric, who teaches self defense if you are interested, it sounds weird but he insisted when we hired him." She finished.
I smiled and finally looked around, taking in the rugged interior of the building with the warm, home-like feel. I have a feeling I will like this place.
"If your ready, Four can take you both to where you'll be staying." She added, almost as if an afterthought.
I looked up at Christina and followed her line of sight, just in time to get lost it the most perfect blue eyes I've ever seen.
Well, that's it for now, make sure to comment and tell me if you like it, ideas, or friendly criticism that I will happily listen to. thanks for reading, I promise it will get better!
