Well, here it is folks! I'm so sorry, it's super short… But there should be another one coming soon, I just need to write it. :)

ENJOY!

I pull on the bottom of the crop top Christina put me in, and sigh. This is total déjà vu. The first day of school, and Christina's making me wear shit. It's like Christmas and March breaks all over again!

"Christina!" I yell through the bathroom door. "We're gonna be late!"

"Coming!" She replies, and I roll my eyes. She's been saying that for half an hour, and school starts in that amount of time.

Five minutes later, she emerges from the bathroom, and I throw my hands in the air.

"Took you long enough!" I exclaim, and turn around.

"Ugh! I have to go change," She sighs, turning to go back into the bathroom.

"Um, where do you think you're going?" I ask, grabbing her arm before she can escape.

"I look horrid," She answers, motioning to her clothes. I take a look at her black leather overalls, but instead of pants it's a skater skirt, with a white crop top underneath. Her black combat boots go up to her knees, so most of her skin is covered. She throws on a leather jacket, and grabs her black purse, pulling me out the door, and into her car.

"TRISSY!" I groan. Why is Uriah so damn annoying?

"URI!" I yell back sarcastically. He grins, his smile so big, I'm surprised his face doesn't break.

"WE HAVE TO GET OUR SCHEDULES!" Christina yells, adding to the yelling in the hallway. The students and non-Dauntless teachers around us glare, but we just form a line, and walk strongly down the hallway, causing people to scatter and stare as we pass.

We're definitely seniors.

"That guy's staring at you," Christina whispers in my ear, eyeing something behind me. "He's hot." I roll my eyes.

"Do I have a 'kick me' note on my back?" I ask, taking another bite of cake. Now it's Christina's turn to roll her eyes.

"No," She answers. "He's checking you out." I sigh, and slowly turn around. Even though he's across the room I know who it is.

Al.

I turn around, and can feel tears pricking my eyes. I take out my phone, and dial Tobias. He answers on the first ring.

"Tris?" He asks, worry evident in his tone. "What's wrong?" I get up, and run. I keep the phone up to my ear, and I can feel silent tears running down my cheeks, but all I know is that I need to get as far away from him as possible. After a while, I get tired, and plop down in the grass. I look around.

"How did I end up at the park?" I mutter to myself.

"You're at the park?" Tobias' voice replies, causing me to jump. I forgot I was on the phone with him. "I'll be there in five."

The line goes dead, and I lean against a nearby tree, closing my eyes. After what feels like seconds, someone plops down beside me. I lean into them, and inhale his familiar scent.

Lemongrass. Sage.

I know, I know, horrid length. But I knew I needed to update, so…. Here it is! Tell me what you think of the first – sucky – chapter.

Stay Dauntless,
