A/N This is my first fanfic so be kind :) Leave reviews if you'd like.
Tris POV:
I wake up to my alarm blaring in my ear. I groan and throw my hand at it effectively hitting the snooze. I pull my pillow over my head until it starts yelling at me to wake up again. This time I force myself to stand and walk across the room to my closet. I successfully pull the most teenagery outfit I can: black skinny jeans, silk black tank top with embroidery on the back, red high tops, and a red beanie. Go fashion! I shower and change into my clothes as quickly as I can. There's a knock on the bathroom door.
"Come on Beatrice starting another is school is hard enough without you being late!" Caleb yells at me. "Oh please I still have like, 20 minutes. Go in your own car!" I shout at him. He sighs and walks away. I quickly dry my hair and run downstairs. My mother sits at the kitchen table sipping a cup of coffee with more creme in it than the brew.
"Mom, you're home." I say surprised. She's always in France doing stuff that Diplomats do while my dad's practically living in D.C. They are never home so Caleb is left to watch out for me.
"Yeah my flight leaves today around four. I'll be gone by the time you get home from school. Have a nice first day and call me by next week okay?" I kiss her cheek and promise to phone her as soon as I can. I grab an apple as I walk out the door to the garage. I climb into my red Eclipse. I plug my phone into the council and blare my music as I speed down the street with all my windows down. I pull into the parking lot of the school and put it into park. I walk towards the front steps throwing my backpack over my shoulder and still gnawing on my apple. I walk into the front office to collect my new Welcoming Packet that every school has.
The woman at the desk seems a little young for a secretary and has purple streaks running through random strips of her hair. It strikes me odd that she would have tattoos and colored hair being that she works at a school. "Hi I'm Tori! She says.
"I'm uh, Tris." I say unsure.
"Great! So here's your student hand book and faction guidelines." She hands me a manila envelope.
"Faction?" I say as a question.
"Oh yeah we separate you into five groups for like, organizational stuff and you're in dauntless. You'll read all about it in here." She taps the package. I nod my head and walk out to find my locker. I knock into this girl and fall flat on my ass. smooth I tell myself.
"Oh my God I'm so sorry! Let me help you!" She gathers my papers and hands them to me, then pulls me to my feet.
"It's no problem. I have no clue where I'm going anyway." I tell her, showing her the paper Tori gave me with my locker information. She squeals.
"You're right next to Zeke! He's so nice, you'll love him. He's seriously funny, come on!" She drags me with her towards a hallway lined with blue lockers. I throw my stuff in the one labeled 205 and tag along with the girl to her homeroom, which conveniently is mine as well. We sit in the back with a few others.
"So that's Zeke, you know your locker neighbor, then Shauna, Uriah, Marlene, Will, and Four.
"Four? like, the number?" I ask.
"Yeah he's weird- oh! And I'm Christina. So what faction are you in?" She asks. Tori told me I just don't remember what...
"Uh, Daunt- Dauntless? I think that's what it's called right?"
"Sweet! You're with us!" Uriah cheers. I smile slightly. The bell rings and we all run out to our next class. Eventually I find it and drop down at an empty table. That guy, Four, sits down next to me and I'm surprised.
"Hey." I say weakly. I am so bad at talking to people.
"Hey, Tris, right?" I nod shyly. He is kind of weird but I don't mind it. It actually makes him cute. "Did Chris tell you about the factions yet?" He asks. I shake my head in response. "It's simple. Just wear black if you can, show up to almost all of your classes and have fun and you'll be golden." I smile at him.
"Thanks, that's helpful." Class begins and we don't speak again until lunch. I guess only dauntless have lunch with other dauntless so it's a swarm of black and laughter when I walk into the cafeteria with Christina and Marlene. I sit down next to Zeke and pick at my fries while the group talks. From what I can gather, Zeke and Shauna are a thing, and Will and Christina should be. Three girls have come over to talk to Four and he dismissed all of them right away.
"Hey man did you see the red Eclipse in the parking lot?" Uriah asks. I perk my head up and join in the conversation.
"Yeah, it's mine." I inform them.
"Sick ride."
"Thanks?" I say and continue eating.
Tobias's POV:
She seems pretty cool. She has an amazing car, compared to my rusty old bike anyway. She is probably the most beautiful girl to attend our school, and that's an understatement. Maybe it's just the way she doesn't care about how she looks. She hasn't tried to flirt with me or get my attention at all. Most of the girls at our school bother me every five minutes. I realize I'm staring at her and look at Uriah to start a new conversation.
"You still having that party on Friday?" I ask.
"Yeah man, are you still bringing the stereo system." I nod. "Great! And, Tris, if you want to come, it's cool."
"I'll be there." She says. Suddenly I'm extremely excited for the party.
