Chapter 1- Why Wait?
(Clare)
I was laying in bed after waking up from a nightmare. Waiting for my alarm to go off seemed to take forever, so instead i just got up and turned it off. After i turned my alarm off i checked the time, seeing as i wasn't supposed to get up for another hour, i decided to go in and take a shower before Mom, Glen and Jake got up. i walked out of my room quietly and grabbed a towel from the linen closet before heading to the bathroom. Just as I was about to walk into the bathroom a hand came down on my shoulder. I jumped and turned around to see who it was. To my surprise Jake, my step-brother, was standing there with a huge smirk plastered on his face.
"What are you doing up?" I asked him curiously.
"I could ask you the same thing, you've been up early for the last week. What's going on? Are you really that upset that you and Eli broke up?" Jake questioned me in a hushed voice trying to not wake our parents.
"I just woke up so I could take a shower without being bugged," I lied, then shrugged Jake's hand off my shoulder and went into the bathroom closing and locking the door. I started getting undressed while avoiding looking in the mirror. After i got undressed, I went over turning the shower on. After setting the shower to the right temperature I stepped into the hot water. After staying in the water for five minutes I decided I should probably wash my hair now. I grabbed my shampoo and started washing my hair, thinking about these last few weeks. "Why now? Why wait?" I thought to myself. Clearly the shower wasn't helping, so I rinsed my hair and turned the shower off. I wrapped the towel around my body and unlocked the bathroom door, peeping my head out making sure Jake went back into his room. After I made sure, I ran into my room, closing and locking the door so I could get dressed.
I spent about thirty minutes trying to find something to wear. I decided on a floral dress that came just below my knees. I grabbed a white sweater and put it on over the dress since it was a little chilly outside. After I got dressed, I checked the time seeing as I still had 45 minutes before I had to leave, I went over to my full length mirror hanging on the back of my door. I had dark purple bags under my eyes from my lack of sleep. After getting my cross necklace from my dresser and putting it on, I start brushing my hair. After ten minutes of trying to tame my wild curls I gave up and just put on my favorite white headband and applied cover-up on to hid my lack of sleep. After putting lip gloss on, I slipped a pair of white flats on, grabbed my back pack and ran down the stairs.
"Where are you going this early?" My mothers voice questioned from the kitchen.
"I have an assignment that I have to finish with Alli," I lied to her hoping that would be enough for her to let me go.
"Okay, just come home right after school," My mom said before taking a drink of coffee.
After she said that, I ran out of the house into the chilly weather. I walked to the Dot to get something to eat since school didn't start for thirty minutes. When I walked in I saw Fitz behind the counter working. I walked to the counter.
"Hey, Clare," Fitz smiled at me.
"Hey, Fitz. Can i get a coffee and a blueberry muffin," I said pulling out some money.
"Sure thing," Fitz said getting a muffin and making coffee, "want it to go?" Fitz asked.
"Yeah, I have to get to school," I mumbled.
"Is something going on Clare? You seem kind of down," He questioned me while pouring coffee into a to go cup for me.
"Just thinking about some things," I replied before sighing.
"What about?" He asked, handing me the coffee.
"Why Eli waited until now to dump me. He broke up with me because he can't get over his ex," I sighed looking down at my hands.
"Oh wow, I'm sorry Clare. He's a asshole, he never deserved you," Fitz said quietly before continuing, "You'll find someone better."
"I hope so, I should get going to school now though. Bye Fitz," I said before grabbing my coffee and muffin and running out the door.
(Maya)
I sat in the car with Katie on the way to school, looking out the window. "Why'd we have to leave so early?" I groaned.
"Because I have to work on stuff for the paper and I want to see Marisol. I already told you this! God don't you listen to anything?" Katie snapped at me.
Sometimes I hated having an older sister, the only good thing about getting to school early was that Tris also had to be here early too. As we pulled into the parking lot I jumped out of the car and ran over to Tris. "Tris! I'm so glad you're here!" I squealed.
"Maya! Why are you here so early?" Tris asked me while smiling.
"Wicked witch of the west wanted to get to school early," I laughed, "Let me guess, Owen had to get here early for Hockey practice?"
"Yeah, every morning. Why can't he just stop doing sports? I'm sick of always having to come to school early!" Tris complained.
"Well just think of it this way, Katie and Owen graduate this year and then we won't have to deal with them anymore," I laughed when Tris smiled.
"That's what i'm waiting for, them to be gone. Then i won't be known as the 'Jock's little brother' and you won't be known as the 'Bitches little sister' we'll be known as Maya and Tris, the fabulous besties!" He went on and on but i kind of zoned out on him when i saw Clare walking up looking distracted and sad.
