A/N: Edited version, my friends! Modern AU.
Tris' POV
"Beatrice!" My mother shouts, her voice echoing in the hallway. "I'm coming!" I reply, running out of my room, scrambling to go down. Before going down, I look at myself in the mirror, at my dull blonde hair and dull blue eyes. I'm flat chested, and I look like I'm 12-years-old. I'm certainly not pretty like my friends in school. I grab a piece of toast that was laid out on the table and waved goodbye to my father and mother, straightening my black shirt and jeans.
As we (Caleb and I)hop on the bus, a boy about a year older than us hovers over Caleb, overshadowing him. "Oh, would you like to sit here?" Caleb asks politely, standing up. The boy immediately takes the seat, shifting comfortably while Caleb remains standing, holding on the rail at the top. The boy was obviously from Candor. Our cafeteria is separated into 5 'factions'. Candor, the honest and merciless.
Erudite, the ones who long for knowledge.
Amity, the kind, peace-loving people.
Abnegation, the selfless.
Dauntless, the brave.
Caleb loves to stay with the Erudite, due to his thirst for knowledge. That's why he wears blue every day and these fake-poser glasses, even though I know that he can see just fine without them. How stereotypical.
I stay with the Dauntless. With my friends, Uriah, Christina, Lynn, Marlene, Lauren, Will, and… Four.
Uriah is a bubbly guy, my best bro.
Christina is my girlfriend (not literally, I'm not homo), who does my makeup, and helps me pick out clothes.
Lynn is this badass girl who is realistic and pessimistic.
Marlene is Uriah's girlfriend (literally). She has a wonderful, kind personality.
Will is this smartass guy who transferred to Dauntless from Erudite.
Then there's Four. Four (or to me, Tobias) is the son of Marcus Eaton, a political leader who plays an important role in the government, as my dad says.
The bus stops abruptly, and Caleb is nearly jolted to the floor with a loud thwack. Luckily I was there to catch him.
As the bell rings, Caleb collects his stuff in his arms and looks at me. "Stay safe, Beatrice." He says to me before I go to History and he goes to Algebra. I run to my next class, hurrying to get there so Sir Lloyd would spare me the 10-minute lecture on being a good student by being on time. Not looking where I'm going, my blood filled with adrenaline, I bump into a tall, lean figure. My books fall to the floor, my papers scattered.
"Who the hell do you think you a-" I start, gathering my stuff, daring to look up. Then I see his face. How do I describe it?
Extremely handsome. Dark blue eyes with hints of light blue, and dark hair, almost black. It was Tobias. Tobias Eaton.
"Oh, um, hi Tobias." I stutter. I wish I didn't.
"Hi Beatrice."
"It's Tris now."
"Oh, yeah." He starts picking up my stuff and he gives it to me. A girl with long dark brown hair appears by his side, tugging on his arm. She had golden-brown eyes, and she was certainly not flat chested.
"Let's go, Four." She said, her voice making my ears hurt. She must whine most of the time.
"Oh, hey there, Bella."
"Hi," I say, holding out my free hand.
She shakes it cautiously, as if my hand was filled with EVIL.
"Tris, this is Bella, a close friend. She's my-" He holds my wrist.
"Oh. Um, I have to go now." I interrupt, tugging my wrist from his strong grasp and I scuttle down to History class, leaving a puzzled Tobias in my midst.
