A/N - Okay, so if anyone who is reading my other story Lost, I know that I am not finished with it, but I just don't really have any ideas really for it anymore. I will get back to it though, but in the meantime, I thought I would write a High School Fanfiction. After I wrote A New Start Maybe, I got request about doing a High School one and here I am doing one! Enjoy!
Chapter 1 - Meetings
Tris POV
"Okay, so you are sure about this?" Lynn asks. She is my twin sister. Our parents separated when we were young and I moved to live with our dad while she stayed with our mom. We have seen each other here and there since our parents thought it was good for us to keep contact, but it's been hard after my mom found out that my dad has moved on; that means he has another girlfriend; which my mother isn't very happy with.
"Yeah, I am sure about this! Dad wants me to go to another school, or I don't know really, but he wants me to go to Dauntless Skyline School. I don't know why, but he says that I don't fit in Abnegation Skyline School." I tell her. We have five different schools - or should I say big schools - Amity Skyline School - the peace school, Candor Skyline School - the truth school, Erudite Skyline School - the nerd school, Abnegation Skyline School - the selfless school - which I have been going to, and last but not least, Dauntless Skyline School - the brave school.
Lynn have been going to that school since she was 13 years old and I have gone to Abnegation Skyline School since the same age. When we were younger, we found out what school was best for us, and she got Dauntless Skyline School, but I got Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless Skyline School. So, since I lived with my father he thought that I should go to Abnegation Skyline School. I didn't really care, since I had never been there, but when I got there, I hated it. Now I am 16 (which is now three years later), he told me I was going to Dauntless Skyline School, just to try it of course. But, since Lynn is there, I think I am going to like it there.
"Well, we all know that you aren't the selfless person." She says and I laugh.
"Well, we haven't really seen each other much, so you never know if I am selfless or not." I tell her. I think last time we saw each other was when we were 14 years old.
"So, how is dad? Is he still dating that woman?" She asks and I laugh.
"You know her name, don't you?" I ask her and she laughs.
"I wish I don't. I don't get it, how do you survive living with another woman who is not mom?"
"Well you kind of get used to it. Zoe, she is actually a nice person, you know."
Our parents, Andrew and Natalie, they separated when we were 10 years old. We, of course hated it, but that didn't matter, they didn't know who was going to stay with whom, so Lynn and I decided for them. I would go with dad and Lynn would stay with mom. We saw each other almost all the time. Our dad moved just a few blocks away, but when I turned 12 years old, he or we, moved further away. Then after that, we saw each other only on Christmas or holidays, and it was either at mom's place or either at dad's. Then, when we turned 14, my dad got a girlfriend and Lynn's mom didn't want to see us again, so dad and her (or mostly Lynn's mom), decided that we should keep contact anymore. That is why I hate her and why I call her Lynn's mom. I know it's mean, but that just how it is.
Zoe is my dad's girlfriend and she has a boy who is 21 years old. His name is Caleb and he attends Erudite Skyline School. He pretty much stays at school, but in the weekends I see him, but it has been two weeks since I have seen him, because he has had a lot to do. We are pretty close. After I kind of lost Lynn, he has been there for me. He knows pretty much everything. He knows that I hate my mother, that I talk to Lynn all the time. He is like my real brother. When I am sad about that I don't have her, he always reminds me that I have him. But, Lynn and mom don't know about Caleb though. That is the only secret I have kept from Lynn. I don't know, but it kind of never occurred to me to tell her.
I haven't seen mom for 4 years and Lynn hasn't seen dad for 4 years. I don't think I will see mom either. I don't know if I want to see her. She didn't want to have any contact with me and I hate her for that. I hate her for that and making me not see Lynn.
Lynn and I, we are totally opposite of each other (we have been told). I am the positive one and she is the negative one. I am the nice one, she is the mean one, and on and on.
Well, I don't believe any of it. That she is mean and negative. I know that she has a group of friends and I know her myself, but I know that she isn't mean and negative. I was the one that screamed at my parents for getting a divorce. She was the one to accept things like they were. She is the awesome, pretty, amazing, sister anyone can ask for, and I, well I, I am just me. Boring me.
"You are still upset with mom?" She asks.
"Yeah, I am still upset with that woman." I say and laugh.
"Hey, okay fine, I won't say anything. Dad at least calls me here and there and actually lets us talk to each other at Christmas, New Years Eve and on our Birthdays, mom doesn't." She says and I smile.
"I really miss you."
"I really miss you too sis, but we will see each other at school tomorrow." She says and I smile. She is always the brave and big one and I am the small and the one that needs 'protection', as she calls it. She is two minutes older than me, but what she doesn't know, is that I am pretty smart (and I think I am smarter than her) to be 2 minutes younger than her.
"Okay." I tell her and hang up. We have to keep a secret from our parents that we are talking, so we always talk at night, when our parents are asleep, so they won't find out. That is why, I am in bed and ready to sleep. I turn of the light, go back to bed, and think about tomorrow. How it will be to go to school with Lynn. How it will be to see her again. If she will still loves me or just be embarrassed of me. I just hope it will all be okay.
- Next Day -
I wake up to the sound of my alarm. Somehow, I don't mind waking up. I am kind of excited to start school. I wake up and do my normal morning routine. I take a shower and I apply so simple make-up. I get dressed in skinny jeans and a baggy t-shirt and my leather brown jacket and some normal converse.
I walk downstairs and see my dad and Zoe.
"Good morning Tris." My dad says and I smile at him.
"Are you looking forward to school today?" Zoe asks and I nod.
"Yeah, it's going to be interesting." I say and take a banana. "Bye." I say and grab my bag and go out to my car. I have a nice Aston Martin. I find way to the school easily. I park my car, next to another Aston Martin, I wonder who has that car. I get out of the car and look up at the name. It says Dauntless Skyline School in big letters. I walk in and see the office. I knock on the window and woman opens up.
"Hi, I am Johanna. How can I help you?" She asks and I smile.
"I am new here." I tell her and she smiles.
"What's your name?" She asks.
"Tris?" Someone shouts. I turn around and Lynn is there surrounded by people.
"Oh my god! It's actually you!" I shout and run towards her. She bone crushes me in a hug and I do the same to her. We stay like that shouting at each other about how crazy it is to see each other again.
We pull away and we look at each other.
"You cut your hair." I say and she nods smiling.
"Yeah I did." She says smiling. "But you are same old, same old."
I punch her. "Thanks a lot."
"Hey, that was painful. So, what's your class?" She asks.
"Well, I was about to find out, but then someone shouted my name." I tell her smiling.
"Well, go and find out smarty pants." She says smiling.
"Whatever." I say and walk back over to Johanna.
"Tris." I say and she smiles.
"You know her?" Johanna asks pointing at Lynn.
"Yep, she is my sis." I tell Johanna and she smiles.
"Well, here Tris, here is your schedule, and I hope you will enjoy this school." Johanna says and I nod at her.
"Thanks." I say and I walk over to Lynn, who has her back to me.
"So... Lynn?" I say and she turns.
"People, this is my sister Tris. Tris this is my gang I have been talking about." Lynn says and I smile at them.
"Okay..." I say, not sure what to say.
"Oh, right. This is Christina, she likes fashion, that's her boyfriend Will. That's Shauna and Marlene, and there is Four and Lauren, and there is Nita." She says mentioning to pretty much all of them. There are two boys left. I think they are brothers. They look alike. "Please tell me you didn't forget who they are." Lynn says.
"Trissy poo, you do remember me right?" The youngest says. Uriah?
"Uriah?" I say and he nods. "Oh my god! Uriah and Zeke!" I say and throw my arms around Uriah.
"How are you Tris?" Zeke says when I throw my arms around him.
"I am good." I say and pull away from them. "I didn't know you guys went here." I say and they smile.
"Of course, we never come up in conversation." Uriah says smiling.
"You don't!" Lynn says. Uriah and Zeke has been my childhood friends. Lynn, Uriah, Zeke, and I, were always playing with each other until I moved away with my dad and I haven't seen them since then.
"You don't talk about all the fun times we had together?" Uriah asks hurt.
"No, sorry, but we kind of had more important things to talk about." Lynn says.
"How are you guys?" I ask Uriah and Zeke.
"Good." They say at the same time.
"How is that woman?" Uriah asks and I look at Lynn.
"What? I tell them everything!" She says smiling.
"That woman? Really?" I say smiling. "She isn't that bad. I actually don't hate her."
"Well, I bet she isn't as cool as mom." Lynn says.
"I really don't care if your mom is cool or not." I tell her and she looks at me.
"My mom?" Lynn says.
"Or should I say that woman?" I ask Lynn and she looks at me. "Sorry L, but you know she isn't my mother."
"Yeah I know, but I have never heard you say 'your mom', before." She says.
"Well now you have." I say.
"Okay, I guess I should get used to it." She says and I nod. "How is dad?"
"Dad is fine. He is working in the government and he is doing great." I tell her and smile. "When was the last time you talked to him?"
"A month." She says and I look at her. He usually calls every week.
"A month? You sure?" I ask and she nods. "Sorry."
"It's okay, at least it isn't four years right?" She say smiling.
"Yeah, right." I say.
"So, let me see your schedule." She says and I hand her my schedule without looking at it.
"We have almost every class together except some classes which you have with Zeke." Lynn says and I look at her. She gives me my schedule back and I look at her.
8.00 - Music with Ms. Wu
9.00- Math with Mr. Dixon (Advance Classes)
10.00 - Break
10.20 - Gym with Mr. Amar (With the seniors)
12.00 - Lunch
1.00 - Science - Ms. Matthews (Advance Classes)
1.45 - Art with Ms. Wu
2.30 - End of school
"How come you have all the learning subjects in advanced?" Lynn asks and I look up from my schedule.
"I study." I tell her and smile.
"Smarty pants." She says and I punch her." You need to stop with the punching, it actually hurts."
"Well that's the point." I say smiling.
"Well class starts soon, we should go." Lynn says and we start walking to class. Zeke, Four, Nita, Shauna, and Lauren goes to their classes. I found out that they were all seniors. While we are juniors, so we go to our junior classes.
We have music first and I find out that the teacher teaches Music and Art. She seems nice and I know I am going to love her classes already. In music, she showed us some videos of great singers. I am not a person who sings, I am more of a sporty girl, but I love listening to music thought. When that class is finished Lynn shows me to Mr. Dixon's room. I sit down at the back and Zeke and Four comes to sit next to me.
"So how is life?" Zeke asks and I look at him and smile.
"I really missed you." I tell him and he smiles.
"I really missed you too." He says smiling.
"Life is good." I tell him and he looks at me.
"Really?" He asks and I nod.
"What about you?" I ask him and he nods.
"I have a girlfriend." He say and I smile.
"What's her name?" I ask and he smiles.
"Shauna." He says smiling.
"Wait, Lynn's friend?" I ask and he nods. Then Shauna, Lauren, and Nita comes in and Shauna sit next to Zeke and Nita next to Four and Lauren next to Nita.
"Okay." I say and he looks at me. "Shauna right?" I ask her and she nods.
"You are dating Zeke?" I ask and she nods. "Oh, okay."
"Calm down, I still love you." Zeke says and I smile at him.
"Good, you scared me there for a sec." I say smiling.
"So, how do you know Lynn, Uriah, and Zeke?" Lauren asks.
"Uriah and Zeke are my childhood best friends." I tell her and she nods. It's like she is waiting for me to continue something I already answered.
"What about Lynn?" Nita asks. I turn to look at Zeke and he looks at me.
"She hasn't really mentioned you." He says and I look at him. Of course, why would she mention her twin sister she hasn't seen for four years.
"Why don't you ask Lynn." I tell her she nods.
"Why can't you answer?" Shauna asks. "She is our best friend."
"So, do you still live in the same neighborhood as you lived in?" I ask Zeke and he nods.
"I always come to our spot. You should come one day." He say and I smile.
"I would love to, but I am not sure with Lynn's mom around." I tell him and he looks at me.
"Tell me, how is it to live without a mother?" He asks and I look at him.
"You get used to it." I tell him and he looks at me.
"Is your mother dead?" Four, I think his names was, asks.
"Four, right?" I ask and he nods. "So you do talk." I say and he smiles.
"You talk like you don't have a mother or you say Lynn's mom. Well, is she dead?" He asks and I look at Zeke and back at Four.
"Yeah, she died when I turned 14 years old." I tell him and he looks at me.
"Well, I understand what you mean when you get used to not having a mother." He tells me and I look at him. "She died when I was 6 years old." He says and I nod.
"Well, she isn't really dead, though." Nita says looking at him. Taking his hand in hers. I guess they are dating. He looks at her and takes his hand away.
"It's complicated." He says and I nod.
"I know what you mean." I tell him and he looks at me.
"No, I don't think you do. She isn't dead, but to me she is." He says and I look at him.
"You don't have to explain, but I do understand." I tell him and he looks at me. "My father and Lynn's mother divorced when we were 10 years old. When I was 14 years old, my dad got a new girlfriend and Lynn's mother hated him for that, so she didn't want her and Lynn to have any more contact with me and my dad anymore and broke of contact." I tell him and he looks at me.
"She is still alive?" He asks and I nod.
"She just haven't talked to me for four years and I not planning on talking to her." I tell him.
"So, is Lynn's mother your biological mother? You keep referring to her as Lynn's mother."
"She is, but she is dead to me." I say looking at him and he nods.
"So you and Lynn are sisters?"
"No, twin sisters." I tell him and he nods.
"You guys don't look alike." He says.
"We get that often."
"Who is the oldest?" He asks and I smile.
"She is, but that is only by two minutes." I say and he laughs.
"How come she doesn't mention you?"
"We haven't seen each other since we were 14." I tell him and he nods. He is about to say something, but then the teacher comes in.
After class we have break and we all hang out and talk. I learn that Shauna and Zeke are a thing, Uriah and Marlene are a thing, Will and Christina are a thing, and I think Nita and Four are a thing, but no one has said anything.
After that we have gym. My favorite subject. When we come to class we are told that the juniors have to watch the seniors have football matches. There are four teams and they are playing ageist each other. Tomorrow, it's opposite. Us juniors have to play against each other, and then on Friday, the juniors winners are going to play against the seniors winners. Like that. It's turns out to be a pretty boring class, but at least tomorrow, we will get to play. Since it's Wednesday today, Thursday, we will play, and then on Friday, we will play against the seniors.
After that class, we have lunch and nothing really happens. Then I have science and nothing except boring things happens and then I have art. When I come to art. Everyone is sitting down talking. I go and sit next to Lynn and she smiles at me.
After class, I go to my locker, which is right next to Marlene and Lynn, but the rest of the gang is with us. I put my things back and Zeke, Four, Shauna, Nita, and Lauren comes over to us.
"So, what are we doing today?" Zeke asks and I look at Lynn.
"After school, we always hang out." She tells me. "You should join."
"Maybe." I tell her and she smiles.
"We could always go to the cinema." Uriah says.
"Not any scary movie, though." Christina says.
"Yeah, sure, let's go to the cinema." Lynn and Zeke says and I laugh. They always said the same thing, the same time.
"You joining?" Marlene asks me and I look at them. I don't know what I should do. I kind of want to join them, but I am not sure.
We come to the parking lot and they keep looking at me. I look at my car and a person is leaning against my car with his face in a book.
"Did you find out who owns the other car?" Will ask Lynn.
"No, I didn't." She replies.
I walk over to my car and the other follows me.
"You know who owns this car?" Lynn asks me and I nod. "Who?"
"Me." I tell her and she looks at me like I am crazy. "You." I say mentioning to the guy leaning on my car. He looks up and I look at him.
"Oh my god! What are you doing here?" I ask hugging him.
"Well, my mom told me, and I had to find out how your day was." He tells me and I let go of him.
"I haven't like seen you for like two weeks." I tell him and he looks at me sad.
"Yeah, sorry, but I have had a lot of work to do." He says and I nod.
"Okay, but are you coming home, staying for dinner? Dad would love to catch up with you." I tell him and he looks at me smiling.
"Yeah, I am staying at home Tris, I am not going anywhere anymore." He tells me and I smile and hug him again.
"You are coming home." I say and he nods.
"So you have found friends." He says and I pull back and turn to Lynn's friends.
"Well, they are Lynn's friends." I tell him.
"No, they are your friends too Tris." Lynn says and I look at the other and they nod.
"Well, that is Christina, Will, Marlene, Shauna, Four, Nita, Lauren, and Al." I say. "That is Uriah and Zeke I have told you about." I say and he nods. "Now, that is Lynn." I say pointing at Lynn.
"That is the amazing Lynn?" He asks and I nod.
"Well it's nice to meet you guys." He says and they look at me.
"How is this?" Lynn asks.
"This is...hmm... Caleb." I tell them and look at him.
"Is he like your boyfriend?" Christina asks. "Because he is kind of hot."
"He is not my boyfriend." I tell her.
"Well, how do you know him?" Zeke asks and I look at him.
"Okay, well, I was only going to meet you and check up on you, but I will see you at home. Should I tell them anything?" Caleb asks and I look at him.
"Just tell them that I am going to the cinema and don't mention any names, especially Lynn, Zeke and Uriah." I tell him and he nods.
"Okay, well I will see you later. Be careful." He says and hugs me goodbye. When he leaves they all look at me.
"You coming?" Marlene asks, breaking the silence.
"Yeah, if I can." I say and she nods.
"You can follow me." She says and I nod.
