The High-School of Divergent

Chapter 1: Tris POV

I wake up to the constant ringing of my alarm. Ring, ring! Fora second I forget where I am but then remember i'm in my new bedroom in Chicago.I shoved my alarm off the table to only hear the sound of my brother Caleb pounding on my bedroom door.

"wake up, Beatrice!" he shouted over the door

"I said not to call me that anymore" I yelled back

"You're gonna be late for school, that's not a very good first impression to make"

"whatever Caleb, i'll meet you there"

With that he storms off and I go and take a quick shower.

Once I get out I apply a little bit of mascara. 8:20am!

"Sh*t" school starts in 10 minutes.

I run downstairs to the 2nd floor grab a apple and continue running downstairs to the garage. I can see i'm the last one to leave because 1 of the 10 of dads Rolls Royce is gone, 1 of the 8 of mums Mercedes is gone and Caleb's BMW is gone. I hop into my Ferrari and speed off.

I get to school just in time. I head off to the main office and get greeted by the receptionist.

"Hi, you must be Beatrice Prior. I'm Tori, your brother came in earlier to pick up his pack and here is yours"

She passes me my pack and I look to see what I have first. French in room H242.

I walk into my class and get greeted by a crowd of whispers and stares. I hand my french page to my teacher and she points to a desk next to a bronze skin brown eyed boy.

"Hi i'm Uriah" he puts his hand out for me to shake. And I take it. We stay like that for a bit longer than socially acceptable.

"Hi i'm Beatr... actually call me Tris"

"okay!" he replies beamingly.

"So Tris, you new here? Where did you come from?" Uriah eagerly asks.

"yeah I am new and I came from-" I am cut off from my teacher

"Beatrice do you know the answer to this question? Actually since your new here do you care to introduce yourself?"

I stand up and say

"Bonjour je m'appelle Béatrice mais vous pouvez m'appeler Tris. Je suis originaire de la Nouvelle-Zélande et a déménagé ici il n'ya pas longtemps. I l'habitude de visiter mes grands-parents en France un beaucoup donc je peux parler l'français couramment. Je peux aussi parler italien, espagnol et japonais. Dans mon temps libre j'aime apprendre des langues et jouer de la musique. La réponse à cette question est lundi, le mercredi et le dimanche." everyone stares in shock including the teacher.

"Thank you miss Prior, I can say that that introduction was very good and that the rest of the class can learn from you."

"wow! What did you say?" Uriah asks me surprised. I laugh and translate it for him.

"show off" someone I think called Lauren said. But the teacher quickly continues.

" Now class we be starting a Module 6 project and I have selected your partners. Zeke and Shauna, Jace and Amelia, Lauren and Uriah..." I wait for my name to be called. " and Four and Tris" "What?!" Lauren shouts and stands up "I'm supposed to be with him! I'm his girlfriend" "you'll be with whoever I put you will Lauren" the teacher says. "Ugh!" Lauren replies with and slumps back down into her seat next to who I think is Four.

"You may start now and have 2 weeks" the teacher finishes with. Four comes up to me and Uriah suddenly looks like he's uhhhh jealous? But that vanishes quickly and he then goes off to sit with Lauren.

"Hey" Four says

"Hi" I reply

"So Tris do you want to-" just then my phone buzzes. It's from Christina. I met her last week. She's our neighbour and now my best friend.

It reads:

Hey Girl party at mine on friday for a "back to school now" party. U in?

-C

"Party huh" Four says

"yea...uh so when do you want to do the project?" I say quickly and put my phone away. Then Ringg! The bell.

"I'll text you" he replies in a flirtatious kind of way then walks away to Lauren and puts his arm around her waist. I just laugh and walk to my 2nd class.
