Hey guys! So, maybe of you probably didn't notice I've been gone for a while, but I'm back, kind of. Just wanted to write a stupid story that won't get many reviews cause I miss writing. I really want to improve my writing because it's not great and I know that. Thanks to everyone who's been reading my stories and thank you to Jojoboo90 for working with me on Amnesia. At this point it's just her writing it because she's an amazing writer, but we're (mostly her) are working very hard on this one shot. I really want a really good story on my page because yeah, I love my stories, but I want a super long one that just….makes you cry. You know? I'm actually thinking of rewriting The Blue Eyed Boy because I think I can make it better than it is. I won't remove it, but I might start rewriting it soon. I'm very stressed currently with school and things related to my bad science and math skills, but you guys don't care about that so I won't tell you. Yes, this is hopefully going to be a good story, but I am mostly excited about Amnesia! It'll hopefully be out by next month, but no promises. Jojoboo90 and I are very busy at the moment, I'm not rushing her, I'm letting her do her own thing at her own time. Thank you to Emmabethwritingfanfics also for being there for me to talk me through writing and always making stories that make me laugh. OK THIS IS TOO LONG. SORRY. I've been watching a lot of motivational vlogs lately and I feel good so I'll try to write this and have it out tonight. OK BYE ENJOY.
This might also be my life in a Divergent story…
Chapter 1
"MOM I'M COMING. HOLD ON." I yell because my mom just won't stop calling my name. I know I'm late, calm down. Being a sophomore in high school sucks. I can't wait until I'm 80 years old thinking about my high school years and wondering why I was so stressed about it.
"BEATRICE." I roll my eyes, holding back a scream and holding myself back from throwing something at her stupid head so she dies. I may or may not have anger issues, but that's not important right now. Click click click click click. I turn around at the sound of my dog coming into my room. Normal dogs love their owners and constantly want their owners to pet them or be near them, but not my dog. She will be near you but once you start petting her or show her any love she'll get up and walk away. I feel like I'm the dog in the relationship always wanting attention. I give her head a pat before walking out the front door past my annoyed mother.
"Jeez Bea, you could have at least hurried a little. It may not be the first day but that doesn't mean we shouldn't not want to be early." I ignore my perfect brother's annoying scolding and walk faster to the bus. I'm very shy so I sit near the front of the bus where no one usually sits. My stupid brother is more outgoing and yells as he enters the bus.
"WHAT'S UP GUYS? I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU ALL WEEKEND!" He runs through the bus high fiving everyone while I hide myself further into my XL black hoodie. It hangs from my body but I still never take it off unless it's too hot to wear it. SQUEEALLL I, along with the whole bus, lurch forward very suddenly as the bus suddenly stops.
"TRISSYYYYY!" I try to burrow myself deeper in my hoodie but Uriah catches me before I can fully disappear and plants a huge slobbery kiss on my cheek. We're not dating or anything, he just likes to embarrass me. He's one of my two, maybe three friends. Him, Christina and….so maybe just two. We fly forward again, throwing me to the floor Uriah falling on top of me like a ton of bricks.
"HEY. Get up, that floor is filthy." Yells the bus driver. 'Well maybe you should learn how to drive!' I say in my head. I would say it out loud but then people might try to talk to me and that makes me want to die just thinking about it. How do I have friends? Friends...who are extroverts? How? Literally Uriah is dancing right now and I'm still curled up in my seat trying to disappear. I suddenly realize we're at school. Finally. I get into school and i'm immediately ambushed by people. They don't actually notice me, but I'm suddenly surrounded by people I don't know. They push me along before spitting me out by my locker.
"Hey Tris. How was your weekend?" I hold my breath, sneakily pulling my hood more over my head to try to hide my eyes. I can tell who's talking to me before I see him, and I really don't like him…
"Hey Four...Tobias...buddy...my weekend was good. How was yours?" Four or Tobias has been almost stalking me forever. Does he like me? Probably not. Do I like him? Complicated. I hate the idea of him….cause he's kind of a jerk? But he's also really handsome and he actually talks to me so it's kind of hard to say. He always talks to me, though I rarely respond before I disappear. I'm really good at it, especially in crowded places. All I have to do is invite more people to talk with us then leave silently, and a few seconds later they notice but they don't care enough to look for me. Tobias is popular, and has tons of pretty girls after him constantly which is why I get why he talks to me of all people. He doesn't even flirt, he just talks. He's such a weirdo.
"That's good. I have to go to class, but I'll see you after class." Then he's gone. What a dork. A handsome dork, but still a dork.
"EVERYBODY GET DOWN ON THE GROUND!" yells a random guy. I'm paralyzed with fear, is this some sort of school shooting? I don't hear any shots being fired? I burrow myself deep into my sweater until I'm sure it just looks like a rag on the ground. Sure enough I feel someone step on me as they walk past. Suddenly I feel someone lifting me to my feet, and I expect it to maybe be Tobias or one of my two friends, but it's a random guy with a gun pointed at my head.
"Don't move, just come with me and no one gets hurt." Some people look my way, but are to scared to move. I slowly nod my head and follow him as he walks me towards the door.
"WAIT!" I quickly turn my head, hoping to see some strong person to save my life, some magic person, but instead I see Al. The school nerd. The man holding me turns, and as Al is about to talk he shoots Al in the toe before walking out the door. Honestly I would rather be kidnapped then be saved by Al the nerd. My attacker shoves me into a van before driving off into the sunset.
"Are you going to tell me what's going on?" Weirdly my attacker never blindfolded me or handcuffed me or chloroformed me or anything, just left me to sit and wait in my hoodie.
"We're holding you for ransom. Now shut up before I hurt you."
"What do you mean ransom? My family doesn't have any money. Did you mean to kidnap someone else?" He slams his hand against the dash, making me jump.
"I SAID SHUT UP. Don't even bother playing dumb with me. I know everything about you and your little family, and I can't wait to get rich." I don't say anything after that, though I have many questions. How would he get rich from my family? We're not rich, we're actually a little bit below middle class. Are my parents going to be able to pay the ransom? Am I going to die? My thoughts are broken when I feel a bag being thrown over my head, and someone picks me up and carries me out of the truck.
You guys have no idea how much fun this was to write. There probably will be a chapter two, but no promises. This was more for me because it was literally my life in a story, except my friends aren't as extroverted or popular as Uriah and Christina. And I've never been kidnapped. I hope you liked this story. I don't expect this story to be very popular, but it was very fun to write. Ok, bye.
