Roth High School
Disclaimer: I own no songs, no books, only the plot!
Tris POV
Ugh, the thing I hate the MOST about school, getting up in the morning.
"Beatrice!" My annoying older brother, Caleb, calls from the hallway, banging on the door. "Hurry up! We're going to be late for THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!" He is SUCH a nerd. Though, it WILL be my first day of High School, since, like, I don't know, I got famous? Yes you heard me, FAMOUS. My awesome boyfriend, Tobias, helped me get up there. We're both singers, and one of the biggest couples known in the US. Sometimes, though, I wish all the fame could just TAKE A HIKE!
I swing my legs out of bed, rushing to put on my clothes. I shimmy into some black skinny jeans, black combat boots, and a tight black t-shirt. And no, I'm not goth. I just like the color black. I rush out the door, eating a blueberry muffin, and into my black lamborghini. I look over to the house next to me and see Tobias doing the same thing. I honk over at him.
"Wanna ride with me, Toby?" I call out to him. He turns and grins at me.
"Sure, Trissy!" He calls out walking over to me. Tobias gets into the car with me and gives me a peck on the cheek. "I love you," he murmurs to me.
"I love you too, Four." I say, using his stage name. He grins at me.
He's about to kiss me again, but I hit the gas and we go zipping down the street. "WHOOP!" I yell, grinning at Tobias. He put his hands out of the sunroof, grinning like an idiot.
All too soon, we're at school. Roth High School, to be exact. I hop out of my baby and lock it, once Tobias gets out. "Together?" I ask him.
"Always," he says. We go into the school, holding hands together. All eyes turn to us, no doubt wondering who the new kids are. Of course, because Tobias and I are going incarnito. He's going as Tobias, of course, and I'm going as Beatrice. Our real names.
We walk into the office, still holding hands.
"Hello?" The lady at the desk asks us.
"Hi, I'm Beatrice Prior, and this is Tobias Eaton." I tell her.
"Oh- yes. Here are your schedules, have a nice day."
"Thank you." Tobias says, walking out of the office. "What're your classes, Trissy-poo?"
I look down at my schedule. "AP Math, Bio, Gym, Lunch, Music, Gym 2, and AP Lango." I tell him.
"Great!" He says, grinning. "The only class we don't have together is Bio!"
"Thats still one class without you, Toby." I whine, grinning.
He looks down at me and smiles. "Yeah, but remember why we're doing this?"
"So we don't have paparozzi looking up our butts all day long." I grumble. At this he laughs, heading towards our lockers. His is 647 and mine is 646. Perfect.
"Hey, Tobias," I say. "What are we going to do in Music? I mean we can't sing, else everyone will know its us…" I trail off, looking into his dark blue eyes.
"I don't know, Tris," he says. "I guess we can just not- OOMPH!" He's cut off when a girl runs into him, being caused to fall back onto the ground. I quickly help the girl up. She has dark skin, dark, almost black, hair, and warm brown eyes. Pretty.
"Oh my God I didn't even see you there!" Tobias says. "I'm SO sorry, are you ok?"
"Yeah," she says, grinning. "I'm Christina, who are you guys? Are you new? How do you know each other? Are you dating?" Dang, this girl talks like a motor boat.
"I'm Beatrice, this is Tobias, yes, we're new, we met at a park in LA, and yes, we're dating." I say. "Can you help us find our lockers? We're kinda lost here…"
"Of course!" Christina says, grinning. "You guys can sit with me during lunch, and my friends! You guys look like you'll fit in well here!"
"Thanks," I say.
"So," Tobias says, his arm over my shoulders. "Who are your friends?"
She starts walking, quite fast for high-heels. "Uriah, Zeke, Shauna, Will, Marlene, and Lynn." She says. "Oh! And Will and I are dating, so are Zeke and Shauna, and Uriah and Marlene are dating, too!"
"Cool," Tobias says. We get to our lockers and throw our stuff in.
"Oh my gosh!" Christina says.
"What?" I ask.
"I forgot to ask what your schedule is!"
"Oh," I say laughing. I hand her my schedule.
"Oh my God, we have Gym, Lunch, Bio, Gym 2, and Music together!" She squeals. Just at that moment the bell rings. "Oh- I gotta go! Bye!" She calls to us, running as fast as her heels will let her.
"Come on, Tris." Tobias says to me, grabbing my hand. "We're gonna be late."
"Crap." I say, running down the halls, Tobias on my heels. We burst into Math, and stand there while the class stares at us. The teacher, looks over at us, her brown eyes glaring at us.
"You must be Beatrice and Tobias." The teacher says, still glaring at us.
"Yes ma'am," Tobias says.
"Go find a seat, I'll let you off today because you're new."
"Thank you, ma'am." I say, elbowing Tobias in the gut. We walk into the back of the classroom, were the only two seats left are.
The rest of class is boring, and during Bio Christina introduces me to Uriah and Will. Next is Gym, one of my favorite classes.
"Hey, Trissy," Tobias says, walking over to me.
"'Sup, Toby?" I reply.
"The sky?" He says, grinning. I quickly give him a peck on the lips.
"Smart boy," I tell him, grinning.
The coach comes out and we have to run five laps around the school, the whole time Tobias and I racing. He ends up winning. Darn him. Next, lunch.
I lean against Tobias, resting my head on his shoulder. "I love you, Four." I murmure into his ear.
"I love you, too, Trissy." He says. "But I'm hungry, so lets go."
"Fine," I grumble.
We make our way to the cafeteria, holding hands all the way.
"Beatrice!" Christina calls, waving us over. "Get over here, I want the two of you meet the gang."
"Hi," Tobias and I say at the same time. I give him a side glance and raise an eyebrow at him.
The people at the table just laugh.
"This is Uriah," Christina says, pointing her finger as she goes. "Zeke, Shauna, Will, Marline, and Lynn." The table waves at us.
"Guys, this is Beatrice and Tobias."
Tobias and I sit down, our hands still together under the table.
"Hey," Zeke says, looking us over. "You guys look familiar. You sure you guys didn't go here last year?"
I sneak a glance at Tobias. "Nope," I say, popping the 'p'. "Never."
"Oh, never mind then."
"You two DO look a little like FourTris, though." Marlene says, looking us over.
"Who?" Tobias asks, confused.
"Four and Tris, the two BIGGEST and HOTTEST couple of all time!" Christina squeals.
"Oh, so it's like a ship name..?" I ask.
"Yes!" All the girls, except Lynn, squeal.
"That's, uh, good to know," I say, thinking. "Did you guys know that 'fortis' means 'strong' in latin?" I ask them.
At this Tobias lets out a little chuckle. "So therefore Tris and Four are a strong couple." He finishes. Everyone gets a kick out of this, and we go back to regular conversations around the small round lunch table.
"Did you guys see that Lamborghini?" Will asked, dreamily. "It was beautiful!"
"Yeah," Uriah and Zeke sighed.
Tobias and I looked at each other. We then bursted out laughing. Everyone gave us quizzical looks until Tobias and I calmed down. "Th-that Lamborghini is m-mine!" I laughed. Everyone's jaw met the floor at that.
"I GOTTA GET A RIDE IN THAT GODDESS!" Uriah exclaimed.
"Ditto that!" Zeke said.
I just grinned and nodded my head at them. "Sure, but not today." I got a collective 'awww' of disappointment from the table. "Sorry, boys, but Tobias and I need to go to work after school." By 'work' of course I mean a new recording of a song, and Tobias here is getting dragged along with me.
"So, Beatrice," Marlene said. "Where do you work at?"
"Uh…" I looked over at Tobias for help, but suddenly his food got interesting. "The recording studio downtown." I said slowly.
"OH MY GOSH REALLY?" All the girls scream at once.
"Yeah…" I say. "Tobias works there, too." I say quickly, earning myself a glare from him.
"Have you ever seen Tris or Four there?" Shauna squealed.
"Once or twice, maybe…" Tobias said. Thankfully, the bell rang. I quickly got up and dragged Tobias along with me, racing for Music.
"Oh my God, they almost found out!" I say in a harsh whisper.
"I know, I know," Tobias said, walking along with me. "That would be bad, like REALLY bad."
"Yeah," I agreed. "Music's next, what if we have to sing?"
"We rock it out," Tobias said with a smirk. I snort at this.
"Oh God," I mutter as we enter the Music room. "The whole gang's here!"
"Sh*t," Tobias muttered. "Oh well, we'll just ignore them."
That didn't work, but soon we got the subject turned away when the teacher, Tori, walked in. "Ok, class!" She said. "I hear we have some new students here, Beatrice and Tobias?" Tobias and I stand up. "Great!" She smiled at us. "I hope you both can sing!"
Tobias and I nodded our heads. "We can sing, ma'am," I said. "Quite well, actually."
"Do you know any songs?" Tori asked. "'Cause today is Friday! The day we have people come and sing in the front of the class!"
The class snickered at us, but I ignored them. "Well," I said. "Tobias and I here can sing today, if you want."
Tori beamed at us. "Do you have any song in mind, Beatrice?"
"My Eyes," Tobias replied immediately.
We walked over to the small stage and grabbed a microphone. I had memorized this song, it was the first song I had ever sang on stage with Tobias, and at my first concert. Ah, good memories. The music started to play, and Tobias started it out.
(T is for Tobias and B is for Beatrice, and when they are next to each other, they are singing at the same time. Or you could go onto YouTube and look up My Eyes by Dr Horrible! :) )
T: Any dolt with half a brain,
Can see that humankind has gone insane
To the point where I don't know if I'll upset the Quo,
If I throw poison in the Waterman.
Listen close to everybody's heart,
and you'll hear that breaking sound,
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart,
And crashing to the ground,
I cannot believe my eyes,
How the worlds filled with filth and lies,
But it's plain to see,
Evil inside of me,
Is on the rise.
B: Look around,
We're living with the lost and found,
Just when you feel you've almost drowned,
You find yourself on solid ground,
And you believe there's good in everybody's heart,
Keep it safe and sound.
With hope you can do your part,
To turn a life around.
I cannot believe my eyes,
Is the world finally growing wise?
Because it seems to me,
Some kind of harmony,
Is on the rise.
T: Anyone with half a brain, B: Take it slow,
Could spend their whole life howling in pain, He looks at me and seems to know,
Because the Dark is everywhere and, The things that I'm afraid to show,
Tris really doesn't seem to care, And suddenly I feel this glow,
That soon the Dark inside me is all that will remain.
And listen close to everybody's heart, I believe there's good in everybody's heart,
And hear that breaking sound. Keep it safe and sound.
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart, With hope, you can do your part,
And crashing to the ground. To turn a life around.
I cannot believe my eyes, I cannot believe my eyes,
How the world's filled with filth and lies, How the world's finally growing wise,
But it's plain to see, And it's plain to see,
Evil inside of me, Rapture inside of me,
Together: Is on the rise.
Tobias and I stand there, breathing hard, completely out of breath. I smile at him, and he smiles back. The class then breaks into clapping and hooting. Tobias and I take a bow, the same way we did at the concert in LA.
We make our way back to our seats, the class still clapping.
"Oh my gosh," Christina says when we sit back down. "You guys sound JUST like FourTris!"
"Thanks," I say, now recovered from singing.
"Yeah," Tobias says. "I think we did pretty well."
"Man," Zeke says. "First day and already beat us at Music!" Tobias and I laugh at this.
"Ok," Tori says, walking up onto the stage. "THAT was brilliant! I think you two should try out for Prom Band Battle! You both did great, even for coming in the middle of the year!" She smiled at us, like she was sharing a secret. "I wonder were you both learned to sing like that," she winked at us, and hopped off the stage. "The bells going to ring in a second, so everyone chill out and enjoy your weekend!"
The rest of the day was quite boring after Music, and I had to sit on a random guy's back during Gym 2. Ugh.
"So," Tobias says as we walk out of the school. "How about Prom Band Battle?"
"I don't know…" I say. "I think it would be cheating, you know? Us having lots of practice in front of people and crowds."
"Aww," Tobias whined. "Please, Trissy? We can sing another duet, with the rest of the gang playing the instruments, and what not!"
"They can play instruments?" I ask, one eyebrow up.
"Yeah, I think so," he scratched his chin thoughtfully. "Zeke told me his YouTube account username, so why don't we check that out?"
"OK, sounds good to me." I say as we get into the car. The drive home is quite, both of us lost In thought.
