Chapter 1

Tris' POV

"Look, I'm sorry. Okay?"

I stay silent while loading my school books into my locker.

"Tris, look at me." He grips my shoulder and forcefully turns me around to look at me. I cry out in pain. He flinches back. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to-"

"Just go." I whisper. "Please." I will not cry, I refuse to cry in front of him.

"I'm sorry." He says again before walking away for good.

It was mid-November and the weather has been dropping drastically the past week. I'm dressed in my boyfriends large sweatshirt and leggings accompanied with a scarf to keep myself warm. What was worse was that I walked to school in the fourty degree weather. My brother Caleb had just turned sixteen the other day earning a car from my parents after he passed his drivers license. For me, I had just turned fifteen three months ago. My brother Caleb, was nine months older than me, but still in the same grade.

"Hey beautiful." A hear someone whisper from behind me. I turn around and force a smile. "Hey, what's wrong?"

"Hi handsome. Nothing's wrong." He nods, unconvinced but then hands me a single rose with a ribbon tied neatly around it. "Oh my god you didn't have to." He pulls a box of chocolates out of his backpack and shoves it into my hands before I can decline.

"Yes I have to. Exactly one year ago, we met at this exact spot roughly around the exact same time." He says looking down at his watch and then to me. Tyler was the perfect boyfriend. Smart, athletic, the perfect combination of cute and nerdy at the same time, don't forget incredibly romantic. He had dark brown hair that is ruffle at the top of his head and turquoise eyes that compliment his face really well. He has two dimples that appear every time he smile. It makes me swoon every time he does. "So I was thinking, I want to take you to the Muse concert in December since you know, both you and I love that band and I think it would be a great opportunity for us because it would be a great thing to do to spend time with each other. I mean you don't have to if you don't want, it is totally up to you. I don't want to pressure you into doing anything you wouldn't like and-"

I kiss him on the cheek. "I'd love to. Thank you so much." He gives me a light smile and take my hand.

"I was talking to my mum the other day, she told me that she'd like to bring you shopping."

"Again? Every time I go with her, I end up feeling so guilty because she spends like a shit load of money on me." Don't get me wrong, I love shopping with Tyler's mom, she's one of those really cool moms, but no, I feel incredibly guilty when she always insist on paying for the clothes I buy.

"She's the CEO of Lions Gate, I'm sure she barely notices if there is a hundred thousand dollars missing in her bank account." I raise an eyebrow.

"Next weekend. But I have to pay for at least half of the stuff." I tell him.

"Okay, I'll tell her. I was thinking the other day-"

"Oh no! The world is going to freaking end." I joke.

"Oh shut up. Anyways, I realized that It took me four months for you to finally agree to go on a date with me."

"Mhm, and where are you going with this?"

"I was always curious why it took to so long for you to agree."

"Well, I never had a boyfriend before you so I was a little wary, and I always promised myself I would start dating until I was eighteen." I answer him slowly trying to read his expression.

His green eyes stare into mine, "I'm honored to be your first boyfriend." He grins at me. "Hey, let's get to first period. Don't want Ms. Sanders getting angry at us for being late."

"Yup." I take his hand. "Let's go."

Nothing really interesting happened during social studies. Our teacher went through a lecture about the Civil War and Lincoln's impact during the fighting against the North and South. To be honest, I thought it was fascinating, but I was still really bored at some points.

"Tris!" I turn around at the sound of my name. Marlene runs up to me holding a piece of paper.

"Two things. One, as student body president, you need to help organize the Winter formal coming up in a month. Cheerleading tryouts are after school." She informs me.

"Cheerleading tryouts? No, that was a one time thing I am not doing again. And plus that was a bet that I lost, so I had to do it. Anyways, I'm a dedicated swimmer as well." I trying decline the offer.

"Swimming? But it's like forty degrees outside! Fine how about if I ask Uriah out you have to tryout for cheerleading again." She purposes.

"Really? You'll actually ask him out?" She nods her head eagerly. "Nah, I'll still pass. He's probably going to do that eventually." I give her a wink. "Shh...you heard nothing."

"Okay fine. But you'll do it next year." I really don't want to. What's the point in doing cheerleading if it won't help you get into college. The only way is to be an high class, up in the leagues gymnast for colleges to actually look at you. Even then, you can't be an airhead.

"I'll think about it. Anyways, off to second period. I'll see you at lunch." I wave to her before walking the other direction to class.

I hear soft knocks on my window for few seconds and I immediately know that it's Tyler. He lives right next door and does this almost every night. And every night, it makes my heart swoon.

"Hey." I open my window.

"Hi beautiful, let's go on a walk." He takes me to a park in out neighborhood. We spend an hour talking, telling each other jokes, kissing and my favorite, just spending time with my lovely boyfriend. He's my heart and soul, and I'd have no idea what I'd do without him.

"G'night beautiful." He takes both of my hands before we part for the night.

"Goodnight handsome." I peck his lips lightly before parting from him.

One and a half years ago...

I hear a soft knock on my window as I am studying for my ninth grade exams. A loud groan leaves my lips as I drag myself from my desk to the window door.

Tobias sits nonchalantly on the ledge waiting for me.

"How did you get up here?" I ask him.

"I'm spiderman and can climb up walls." He deadpans.

"Wait, really?"

"Tris, I was joking."

"Oh, really? I did not know that." I roll my eyes. "What are you doing here anyways?"

"Lauren and I got in a fight and I really need my best friend right now." He climbs into my bedroom.

"Great, just walk into my room. Okay then." I throw my arms in the air. As he plops down on my bed, I ask him what happened.

"I accused her of cheating. She denied it, and we got into a fight." I roll my eye, classic of her to do that. He's just too oblivious to notice anything. Ever since the two started dating a month ago, Lauren has been on my nerves. Always teasing and making fun of me. Of course Tobias would defend me, it just deep down I have huge feelings for him and I don't want to say anything about it.

"-and I think I love her."

What?

"Y-you love her?" I choke out. "But- but you've only been dating her for a month."

"Yeah, but- it's just, I've never felt this connection with a girl before. Is that bad?"

No, besides the fact that Lauren's a two timing bitch that doesn't know how to don anything right. And that she has such an ego, and she's a fucking cheerleader whore that likes to fuck every god damn boy behind your back. I mean, if you were to look in the dictionary to search up what the word, 'bitch' means, the name Lauren would be next to it. So no, there isnothingwrong with her.

"No, it's fine as long as you promise me one thing." I tell him.

"What?" His gaze stare into mine.

"That she'll never influence you to do or say bad things." I tell Tobias.

"Tris-" He takes my hand in his. "Don't worry, because that's never going to happen."

"You have to promise."

"I promise." He gives me once last hug before he makes his way out his window.

Tobias spends more and more time with her the next two months. He's changed. And it hurts-seeing him with another girl that is. In the hallways, he'd never come to my locker before first period. He's never walk with me to lunch. I would always see them making out in the halls of our school.

"I love you." He tells her one day. I past by him right as the words leave his mouth. She stares at him before kissing him again. "I love you too." She had replied.

We were never meant for each other. He had her and that was enough to satisfy his needs. He's gone.

"What are you wearing today? It looks like you got ran over my a truck and spat into the ground." I get slammed into the lock one day. "You lost Tris. He's mine now, and your not getting him back." I see him behind her staring into my blue eyes. "You're a loser. Go kill yourself. Right, Tobias?" She turns to him with an innocent smile.

"Yeah. You should just disappear. No one likes you anyways."

I'm silent at first, until I hear a loud scream. I don't realize it a first, but it was my scream. I throw Lauren into the ground while yelling profanities at Tobias.

"You promised! You freaking promised!" I croak. "You said you wouldn't change, and you did." I yank the bracelet he gave me in sixth grade and fling it at him. "I hate you. I hate you so much."

I don't remember what happened after because I'm running. Running as far as my tiny legs will wield me.

"Woah, there." I crash into someone's chest. "Oh god, are you okay?"

"Uhm-" I wipe my tears. "I'm fine. I'm fine." I say again.

"Yes your not. What happened?" He has green eyes and dark brown hair with some golden strands blended in. He's cute. His eyes are furrowed as he look for any signs of emotion in my eyes. Both of his hands are placed on my shoulders holding me for either falling or running away.

"I don't- I don't want to talk about it."

He sighs, "okay. But my name is Tyler. And you are?"

"Tris Prior."

"Well, it is nice to meet you Tris Prior."

"You too."
