"Hey chicago watch out, Snow Storm Hercules is coming your way!" the weather man on the tv buzzed.
"How many inches are we getting, Tris?" my little sister, Kate asked. She was pretty, with shoulder length, pin-straight, blond hair like mine, and brilliant blue eyes. Kate was also short like me. She was wearing black skinny jeans and a shirt that hung off the shoulder. Kate was a freshman in my school, Divergent High.
"At least four feet of snow." I answered. Kate shrugged and walked into her room. Then, Caleb sauntered in and changed the channel to the history channel. I sighed and grabbed the remote from his grasp and changed the channel to ESPN. Our school's varsity football team was playing and I wanted to watch it in the comfort of my warm home.
An hour later, the game was over. My eyes fluttered shut as I changed into my pj's. I crawled into bed and set my alarm for 6:00. I had school tomorrow and I didn't want to fall asleep in class like I did Friday. My dream was haunted by a vast ocean swallowing me whole.

Beep! Beep! Beep! My alarm clock screamed for me to wake up. I slammed my hand onto the snooze button and laid in my bed for the next ten minutes. I climbed out of bed and hopped into the shower, washing my hair. After about twenty-something minutes, I was ready to go. I had on light mascara and eyeliner. I was wearing black leggings and a black shirt that had a money sign on it. I grabbed a leather jacket and my school bag.
The bus was loud, as usual. I sat down next to Christina and Kate sat down next to her best friend, Ana. Ana had very dark brown hair, brown eyes, and freckles. She was Uriah and Zeke's adopted sister.
Finally, the bus pulled into the school's driveway. Kate and the other freshmans got off the bus first. Then, the sophtmors and then us. I walked into the large building and went to my locker. I grabbed my books and went to the vending machine. A coke popped out. I strode to my first period class, science. I sat down next to Christina and Lynn. Lynn looked different, oh wait! Her hair was like a guy's, short. I snorted, "What did you do to your hair?"
"I shaved it so the guy's would be intimidated by me. Guys aren't scared of girls 'cause they think we're weak. You should know that." Lynn retorted.
"Guys, break it up!" Christina yelled. "Ya know, stress causes wrinkles. Wrinkles equals ugly, old people. Also, wrinkles cause more stress, so I would shut-up."
"Is there a problem ladies?" Max asked. Max is our science teacher. He prefers to be called Max, so we do.
"No, not at all." Christina said. "I was just telling them what the causes of stress are. Also, Max, your choice of clothes today is horrible. The black sweater doesn't match your navy jeans!"
"Christina, shut up." Lynn whispered.
"You know, Christina, I would give you detention if you didn't have cheer." Max said. Christina nodded and began to take notes.

Finally, lunch. I quickly walked over to the lunch line. Ew, mystery meat was the special. The lunch lady plopped the meat onto my tray. I think it wiggled. Thankfully, there was Dauntless cake and salads there. I paid for my lunch and sat down next to Marlene. Everyone at my table was clad in black. We thought of ourselves as the Dauntless. Kate sat down across from me. "Have you seen Ana? I can't find her anywhere." she asked me. I was about to say no when Ana and Uriah came rushing into the lunch room screaming, but laughing at the same time. Ana sat down next to Kate.
"We just egged V.P. Eaton's car!" Ana cheered. The entire table began to laugh. Suddenly, Vice Principal Marcus stormed into the room and walked to our table. "Ana and Uriah Pedra, you both have detention!" he screamed.
"What did we do Vice Principal Marcus?" Ana asked innocently.
"Oh I know you know, you hooligans egged my car!" he shouted.
"How do you know it was us?" Uriah questioned.
"First of all we have video cameras, and second of all- LYNN! WHAT DID YOU DO TO YOUR HAIR? THAT HAIRCUT IS NOT APPROPRIATE! AND THOSE HORRIBLE PIERCINGS! Detention for you too missy." he yelled. Lynn looked angry, but nodded. Uriah and Ana nodded too, but Ana and elbowed Uriah in the ribs.
"Nice goin' Uri I told you to cover the cameras! You're such an idiot." she retorted, bringing a hand to her head.

Finally the dismissal bell rang. I had to tutor a friend, Al. The snow was beginning to come down, and it was coming down hard. I hoped that the roads wouldn't be too icy to drive on because if they were, my mom wouldn't be able to pick us up...
