EDITED: I just redid some of the spacing, and the dialogue was reformatted. (8/24/14)


A/N: This is my first fanfiction, and I don't own Divergent or the Characters, Veronica Roth does.

Prologue/Background
When I was 14, I fell in love for the first time. His name was Tobias and he lived across the street from me. His father, like mine, was a Politician. My father was the Governor currently, and Tobias' was a congressman. Tobias' father decided that he should move to Washington DC to be closer to his work, as he had decided that he had to ties to Chicago, after his wife, Evelyn, died.

So Tobias moved away 2 years ago, and I haven't heard from him since. I still love him, though. I knew Marcus as a not so nice man, and I knew that he probably never let Tobias contact me.

Now, 2 years later, I'm 16. Its re-election time, which means my father has to campaign to be Governor again. I help my father, along with his mini-me, my brother Caleb.

But we seriously don't need the money. My mom, Natalie Prior, owns one of the biggest fashion houses around, Maison de Beauté, or MDB. MDB is based out of Paris, with the flagship location being on the Champs de Elysees. Mother splits her time between our house in Chicago, and our Estate in the French countryside, just outside of Paris.

We also have apartments in many cities, like London, LA, Tokyo, Milan, New York, and a vacation house in Palm Beach. Whenever I want to travel, I just hop onto our jet and go.

I attend school in Chicago, at The Five College Preparatory High Institute. It's not really called "The Five", but that's what everyone calls it. It's named after 5 People, and they each once headed a school within the Institute. Robert Black headed the Abnegation house, which values selflessness. Jack Kang headed the Candor house that valued honesty. Johanna Reyes headed the Amity House that valued kindness and peacefulness. Jeanine Matthews headed the Erudite house that headed Intelligence, and Maxwell Carson headed the Dauntless house that valued Bravery. When you come to the institute as a freshman, you choose a house that you want to be in for the next 4 years. The process is like joining a Sorority or Fraternity, and if you don't get into the house you have 2 options: leave the school, become school-less for a year, or join Amity, but you would have to stay there until Junior year, which is transfer year. Transfer year is when you can change schools, and when they let new students in.

I plan to stay in my school. I am a member of Dauntless, my brother Caleb is Erudite, and when my parents went there my father was Erudite for his first 2 years and Abnegation for the second two. My mother was Dauntless. Junior year starts off with a re-choosing ceremony, and I couldn't be more excited.

Chapter 1
Tris POV
I woke up to hearing my mother yell (in her slight Parisian accent) "I'm home!"

My mother comes home and then leaves as quickly as she comes, but if she is in the states, on the weekends Caleb and I would fly out to go visit her. My father, is also rarely home. He travels a ton, so normally it's me, Caleb, our housekeeper Antoinette (or Nettie, as we have called her since we were children) and our dogs, Harrison (Caleb's golden retriever) and Bella (my Labrodoodle).

I run downstairs to see my mother with garment bags. Great. You see, she likes to use me and Caleb as her advertisers, so I have a feeling that my first day of junior year outfit is in one of those bags.

When we were younger, she would have us in her photo shoots, but Caleb and I didn't like it, so she let us quit modeling. As if on cue, my mother hands me a bag saying the words I was expecting to hear.

"Beatrice, darling, here are your clothes for today. Make sure to tell everyone that your mother made it for you." I inwardly groan.

When she's gone, I wear whatever I want, but when Mum is home, she picks out my clothes. It's not like she has bad taste, but sometimes I would rather wear other things.
I am dressed, and am walking out the door when I see a moving van drive down the street and park at one of the nearby houses. I guess we are getting new neighbors.

Hopping in my sleek black Maserati, I head to school.

As I walk into school, I am pounced on. "Tris! Tris! I missed you SO SO SO much!"

That voice belongs to none other than my best friend, Christina. I love Chris. We have been best friends since kindergarten, and we are perfectly opposite. While I prefer not as girly things, Chris loves girly, frilly, things. Christina is dating our friend Will, who is a huge nerd, but also the kicker on the football team. Then there are our other friends, Uriah and Zeke Pedrad. They, like Caleb and I, are 10 months apart, so they are in the same grade. Zeke's older, and he's been pinning over my friend Shauna for ages. They are like the perfect couple, but they aren't dating. Zeke's too much of a pansycake to ask her out.

Then there's Uriah. Uri has been with Marlene since like 6th grade. Mar is on the Varsity Field hockey team like I am. Christina is the head cheerleader. Uriah and Zeke are on the football team, Zeke is the halfback, and Uriah is the running back.

My ex-boyfriend, Eric, is the quarterback, and he's the biggest douchebag in the school. He's currently dating Nita, the biggest whore out there. She's screwed everyone, and always cheats on Eric.

PAGE BREAKxxxxxx

"I hear that there is a new kid coming her from DC. He's a quarterback, and maybe he's better Eric," Uriah says that day at lunch.

I frown. Tobias moved to DC. A part of me wishes he was coming back, but I know that wouldn't happen. Marcus wouldn't come back here.

"Maybe so…Eric sucks at football, so anyone could be better than him," I say.

Eric tried to push me too far. We were young, and he wanted to do things that I wasn't ready for, so I dumped him. He's been a creep ever since.

I zone out until last period, with my favorite teacher in my favorite class, Art with Mrs. Wu, or Tori as everyone calls her. I'm late, so I sit at the last seat available, with a lean, but muscular boy. He has tousled brown hair, and midnight blue eyes. Like Tobias did.

Once I'm settled, Tori starts talking. "Ok everyone, welcome to Advanced Placement Art. We have an interesting year, culminating in sending your portfolios off to the AP Gurus to hopefully get you guys college credit. Right now we are going to do a project to assess you skills. So, with the person sitting next to you, you have to take the supplies on your desk and create a mini mural on the cement slate on your table. It can either be a mural shrunk down, or a piece of something greater. You and your partner have this class period, and next class to work on it. It is due at the end of the next class. You may begin."

As soon as Tori stops, I turn to the boy and try to get to know him.

"What's your name?" I ask.

"Four, what's yours?" He says.

"My names Tris. Four is an interesting name, is it a nickname?"

"Yeah, at my old school I was the quarterback on the football team and four was my number." This is the new quarterback? Could he be Tobias? Play it cool, Tris.

"Oh that's cool," That 'cool' what am I, an idiot, "I heard a new quarterback was coming here from my friend Uriah. He's the running back."

"Uriah is a cool guy. I met him last period in my Civil War class." Four says, messing around with a pencil, nervously. I decide to change the subject.

"So what do you want to do for this?"

"What if we did a would be US map, and only did Illinois, and maybe part of Indiana, so show that it was a part of a map?" Four suggests.

"That's an awesome idea. Let's do it, do you want to come over to my house after school and work on it? We don't have enough time to start right now." We actually have enough time, but I want an excuse to spend more time with him.

"Sure, we can do that. Can I have a ride? I rode the bus here because my car is still at my old house in DC."

"Sure, we can leave once school is over."

Four and I gather our project materials, and head straight out to the Dauntless lot once the bell rings. We put the stuff in the trunk, and hop into my Maserati. "Sick car," Four says.

"Thanks, my mum got it for me when I turned 16." I reply.

Four looks slightly shocked, but not like the normal, 'You're spoiled' that I normally get. T

he car ride home is silent, but not and awkward silence, a comfortable silence. We pull into the garage, and go into the house when I see a face I was not expecting.
