TrisPOV

There I was, walking down new halls. New school. A new life? Hopefully. At my old school I had been the quiet one. Never really fitting in, but it was all going to change now. My father has got a new job, relatively high up in the government so he saw it fit to get a new house for my mother, brother and I. This meant a new school. My brother is one of the intelligent ones, he always finds a group who spend their time in the library. I used to sit with him some days, but I knew I was not wanted, he was welcoming - as he always is- even though we all knew I wasn't one of them. I have always admired people who just fit- not the really popular ones who always seem to care about who their friends with or how they look. No, just the ones who seem relaxed and easygoing, they always appear to be having fun, laughing, doing things they enjoy.

So thats what I promised myself, its just hard to get there. I am so used to keeping my head down. I am definitely going to have to try and break out of my shell, I only need to start saying yes to things. Yes: thats my key to happiness- hopefully.

I had just dressed for school when I heard the bus down my lane. I now lived in a moderately big house compared to the tiny one my family used to occupy- It was one of the requirements for my Dads' job. No matter how many times he insisted we a perfectly fine in a small house, they forced this one on us. I guess it's okay, but there are way too many rooms for us. I just had time to grab my backpack and comb through my long, blonde wavy hair that now reached my elbows, before I left the house and set off in a brisk walk for the bus. To my distraught it began to pull away, I broke into a run- trying to reach the doors before they closed. Then there was that awful noise of the sliding entry shutting, with a bang that sounded to be tormenting me, laughing in my face. I breathed out an exasperated sigh, halting when I realized I was too late, the bus had gone. As the bus turned, I could see a tall girl with dark skin, with long slender legs. She also had beautful short black hair, which seemed to bob as she yelled at the bus driver. Her arms were circilling madly, I smiled to myself, she was getting really passionate about what she was talking about, the anger was clear on her face. The driver only shrugged, obviously ignoring her complaints, this sent her away, huffing before slumping into her seat with the arms crossed across her chest.

Picking up the pace once again, I began to run to school, hoping not to be late for my first day. I am so lucky my brother insited on me seeing the map to our new town, if only he taught me to be a punctual as me. I of course ended up being half an hour late for my first day at school, I menally slapped myself for being so stupid for the hundreth time today. When I got to the main office where I was told to meet a woman for induction. I was scolded by many on the way for my timing, so I kept my glowing, red face down untill I reached my destination. When I entered I saw a relatively young woman sitting behind the desk.

"Hey, my name is Tori," She said smiling and looking at her outstretched hand, I reached out to meet it, returning a smile as I did so. I was surprised, most teachers don't go by their first name, I didn't even notice my raised eyebrows. She noticed them, Oh god I thought, and gave myself yet another mental slap.

"Oh, yeah," She answered, "I am not really a teacher, I just help people settle in to the school part time. But saying that, I will always be here if you want a chat, or guidance..." She looked off to the side seeming to remember something a stayed like that for a few seconds. I nervously cleared my throat, it seemed to snap her out of her thoughts, she returned with a forced smile and wet, shining eyes. She cleared her throat and began talking about the school and my lessons.

"Oh, I almost forgot, you were late in weren't you?" I nodded, blushing furiously, "I can clear that up, say that you were with me all the time," she winked, "Just don't make a habit of it." I nodded again, this time I was wearing a grin from ear to ear.

After our time had finished I left, feeling so much lighter- like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders, school was going to be great. Tori was so nice, she seemed to understand what I was feeling. I was definitely going to see her again. By the time we had finished talking I went to the canteen, she had told me it was lunch, apparently I was only five or so minutes late for it. But when I entered I was thrown by the noise and movement, massive groups were clustered around tables, all talking, eating. All very closed off to the world around. I began to shake, the sheer number of them astounded me, my old school was tiny compared to this. I backed into the wall, using it to support my weight as I took a few deep breaths. I was considering where to sit when the girl from the bus strode over to me.

"Hey, I remember you. You were the girl who missed the bus, right? Yeah it was you, sorry I tried to get him to wait, that drivers such an ass." She blurted out. That was what she was yelling at him for, I felt a surge of pride that somebody cared about me.

"You look a bit lost," she continued, "You want to sit with us? Oh yeah I'm Christina, I forgot to say, You're Beatrice right." I didn't sound right, not anymore, not for the new me.

"Tris," I corrected, "Yeah I would love to sit with you, thanks." She lead me over to a group of people who looked up at us with smiling faces.

"Hey, guys," she began, "this is... Oh god, I forgot, sorry..." She stuttered.

"Hey I'm Tris," I came it, rescuising her, earning a thankful smile.

"Hey," They chorused. After introductions I found out there were three of them not including Christina- Will, Uriah and Al. They all seemed really nice, I got along with them well. This is going to be a good year I sighed while smiling and only half joining in on the conversation. I think it was about prom or something, the seniors were having theirs in only seven months or something crazy like that. Since I am a sophomore it doesn't really concern me now. While I was nodding at the right points in the many sentences Christina was blabbing out, I had a peculiar feeling I was being watched.

I whipped my head around, trying to catch the culprit. I scanned the crowds of people, almost making me believe I was just making it up when I saw him. He had short dark hair, so dark it was almost black; Strong cheekbones that caused his cheeks to hollow; deep set dark blue eyes with long lashes that shadowed across his cheeks; taut, muscular arms that stretched out in front of him and ended with gentle, long hands. I gasped, he was so beautiful, his eyes were mesmerizing, I felt like I was dreaming. Falling into the unique shade of blue. I stared right into his eyes, he returned the stare, the corners of his full lower lip twitched up into a half grin. I blushed a deep shade of crimson when I noticed I had been staring for about a minute. I swiftly turned around to my new friends and let my hair cover the red shade I had turned.

I was in lunch when I saw her. I was just eating lunch with a few friends. We chatted a bit, but as always I got bored so I ended up just half listening to their conversation and daydreaming, sat back in my chair. Thats when I noticed her, she sat down with some sophomores, I could tell she was new, her beauty is not one I would have missed in the halls of our school. As she sat blonde waves and curls cascaded over her narrow petite shoulders, falling to halfway down her arms. I imagined running my hands through the weight of it, it being silky, smooth in my palms. When she turned I saw big, grey, round eyes, like a doe- so innocent. I saw swirls of blue mixing with the grey, a kaleidoscope girl. Each colour seemed to tell me about her, each speck and swirl a different story. She had a thin elegant neck, framed with tousles of gold. My eyes skimmed her tiny frame, taking in a tight waistline and gentle hands.

She turned, noticing my staring. Our eyes set on each others, her mouth parted slightly as her big, grey eyes widened. We sat like that for a long time, just staring, connecting. I started to grin, she seemed to wake from the trance. I saw a flash of her blush before her curls shadowed her face once again. Shaking my head I looked down at my fingers.

I had to meet her.
