Four's POV
I just saw Haley's comet she waved
Said why you always running in place
Even the man in the moon disappeared
Somewhere in the stratosphere
It's my first day back in Chicago. I get ready then hop in my truck and head to school. It's my senior year and I've finally convinced my dad to let me come back. I left Chicago in the 8th grade, my best friend, Bea, was heart broken.
*FLASHBACK*
"What?!" Beatrice exclaims. I've just told her I'm moving away. Marcus apparently has to take away everything I love. First my mom and now my life with Beatrice.
"I'm so sorry. Marcus is making us move." I say. A tear drops down her face. I give her the promise ring. It's silver and has a heart on it. Inside the heart there's an infinity sign in black diamonds. She gasps.
"Toby, you didn't have to!" she says.
"I wanted to." I tell her. I slip it on her pointer finger. "You'll forget all about me, you have friends at school and everything...so. It's a promise ring, that you won't forget me."
"Toby, I could never forget you, I'm in love with you." she says. Her eyes widen and she tries to take it back but I cut her off.
"I'm in love with you too Bea." I say. She kisses me and I immediately kiss back. We pull away and sit there in silence for a bit. After 10 minutes of us sitting there, her head on my shoulder and my arm around her waist, Marcus yells for me to, "get my lazy ass in the car". I say goodbye to Bea and get in the car.
*FLASHBACK ENDS*
I park next to a cool motorcycle and grab my schedule. I look at it and bump into someone. I apologize and they get up.
"No problem man, you're new here aren't you?" he asks me. I nod. "Well, you wanna meet my friends? I'm Zeke by the way."
"Sure. I'm Four by the way." I say. He drags me off to where ever the hell his friends are. Once we get to the destination I see 2 guys and 4 girls. One boy kind of looks like Zeke. He tells them my name and starts introducing us.
"Okay, so over there we have my idiot brother, Uriah." Zeke points to the guy who looks like him. "Then we have his girlfriend Marlene, my girlfriend Shauna, her friend Christina, her boyfriend Will, and Christina's best friend Tris."
I look at everyone here and Tris is the odd one out. These people look like the locks and cheerleaders. Tris has blonde hair with red tips at the end. She has stunning blue eyes that are almost grey. She has a black stud nose piercing and a black stud belly piercing. I notice a tattoo of 3 ravens in flight on her collar bone. She's wearing a leather jacket, an Imagine Dragons crop top, and high-waisted black skinny jeans.
"Yes, Christina is the one I'm closest to, but I consider all of you...people I know." Tris says.
"Sorry about Tris, she's been this way ever since the 8th grade," Christina explains. Tris just flips her off and I notice a ring on her finger. THE ring.
"We don't know what happened to her. One day she's happy and carefree, the next she shuts everyone out," Will shakes his head.
"I know, it's like she got hurt by someone," Tris smacks Uriah upside his head.
"If you guys don't shut up I'll shut all of you up." Tris threatens. Everyone shuts up after that.
"Tris took self defense classes in the 9th grade and did some other things we don't know about." Shauna whispers.
The bell rings and we head to class. Apparently I'm in the "Dauntless Faction" and we all have the same schedules. I go to locker number 6410 and grab my stuff. Apparently Tris is at locker number 6610 so she's a locker down from me. We get to Chemistry/Science and the teacher is really creepy.
"Hello class, my name is Jeanine Matthews. You will address me as or ." she says. The rest of the class is filled up with her explaining how we're gonna make "serums" this year. Thankfully, the bell rings and we head off to the next class. History which is taught by a guy named George and Math which is taught by a guy named Max goes by quickly. Before I know it it's lunch.
"Hi," I girl comes up to me and bats her eyelashes. "I'm Nita, wanna sit with me and my friends?"
"No thanks, I'm just gonna sit with my friends." I shrug her off. She huffs and walks away. Nita wasn't ugly, but I could tell she had a horrible personality and was gonna be annoying. She was tan and had dark green eyes and long brown hair. She was nothing compared to Tris. My Bea. I bet she doesn't recognize me. Last time she saw me I had glasses and wasn't as...muscular.
"Yo Four! Over here!" I turn around to find Zeke and the others. I go over to them and sit down.
"So we were talking about the famous Pedrad Party Zeke and Uriah are throwing." Shauna says.
"What's so famous about these parties?" I ask.
"Well," Marlene begins. "It's a normal party until around 11:00 p.m. when they kick everyone, except our little group and sometimes a couple others, out and we play truth or dare or never have I or dead, bead, or wed. You know, games like that."
"Cool, count me in." I say. Tris smiles and everyone stares at me and her.
"You got Tris to smile!" Will exclaims. "No one except Uriah, Christina, or me can make her smile!"
"She only smiles like once a month." Christina exclaims.
"I do not!" Tris glares at her. Everyone laughs and the bell rings. We head into art. The teacher's really nice. Her name's Tori. I draw Bea and me when we were 10 years old. I look over and see Tris drawing me when we were in the 8th grade. It's me and her kissing.
"You're really good." I tell her. She looks up and smiles at me shyly.
"Thanks." she says.
"Do you draw a lot, like in a sketch book or something?" Tris nods. "Can I see it?" I can see she's hesitant but she pulls it out of her bag and hands it to me. Pages and pages of me and her. She's an awesome artist.
"Not fair! You let him see your sketch book but not your best friend?" Christina exclaims.
"You must really like him." Marlene says. Tris blushes and I give her back her sketch book. The bell rings and we go to music. The teacher, , is an Amity, of course. Music is mostly in the Amity faction. She decides we have to sing a song or 2 that represents every faction and we have the rest of the period to decide. on a song and join a group. We immediately group up and decide on the songs.
Lead Female Singer-Tris
Lead Male Singer-Four
Drums-Uriah
Keyboard-Will
Guitars-Zeke and Shauna
Backup Singers-Christina and Will
"No fair! How come I'm singer?" Tris complains.
"We know you can play every instrument but everyone else either sinks at singing or has too high a voice!" Christina tells her. After some fighting we finally decides on the songs.
Candor:Love The Way You Lie
Erudite: -It-All
Abnegation-Grenade
Amity-Happy and What A Wonderful World
Dauntless-Die Young and If I Die Young
The bell rings and we head to Gym. Coach Amar tells us about Gym and Tryouts for stuff. Then the bell rings and it's time we go home. I hop in my truck and see Bea...Tris hop on the cool motorcycle I saw earlier. When I get home Marcus isn't there, thank God. I fall asleep thinking about Tris. I found Bea!
(A/N:This thing's acting weird so just in case, Erudite it -It-All)
