Dauntless High

Tris POV

Beep. Beep beep. Beep beep beep. Oh my god shut up! I smack my alarm clock to turn it off. Just a week ago I moved to Chicago from New York City. My dad works for the government and my mother is a famous makeup artist/fashion designer. We are rich and own a custom made mansion. We made the design over three years ago and just a week ago it was ready to move into so we put our house for sale. We packed everything up with help from a lot of people and arrived to Chicago in a day. A whole day in the car not the way to spend a nice sunny day. We unpacked everything with a bunch of help once again.

I take showers at night so I have more time to get ready in the mornings. I get dressed in a black high waisted shorts, a black braided halter top that has some blue and purple design on it, back knee high socks, and a pair of Jordan's given to me by my ex-boyfriend/best friend Matthew. My outfit shows the tattoos that I have. I have a tattoo that looks like a henna tattoo on my hand, three birds on my collar bone, a quote on my other collarbone, and a dream catcher on my back. We broke up because he went to war. I still sometimes cry myself to sleep hoping that he is ok.

I comb through my hair which is brown and curly. It's a beach wave curly though. I also got bangs and dyed them blonde. It's a different hair style but I like it. I do my makeup routine which is a simple neutral eye and bright red lipstick. I put on my watch and put in my earrings and clean my nose stud that I recently got. I grab my black ray bans and my Louis Vuitton backpack. I walk downstairs and give my mom a hug. "You'll do great honey." She says and kisses my forehead.

"C'mon don't wanna be late on our first day Beatrice." My brother says. He's going to Erudite high it's for the smarter people. When we moved here we had to get a test were we would fit into a certain faction for high school. I got Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. There are five faction Amity, Abnegation, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. Amity is for people who are peaceful and happy, Abnegation is for people who are selfless, Candor is for people who are honest, Erudite is for the smart people, and finally Dauntless if for the people who are brave. I'm going to Dauntless high because I'm brave and the lady said I would be best going there plus I would do very well.

I hop in my black Ferrari, plug my phone in and play Desert of Mirages by Sage the Gemini. I speed down the road to the school while singing. I'm at a red light when a car pulls up next to me. I look over and see two light skinned boys in the car. They both have dark brown hair and deep brown eyes. They almost look identical but the one who is driving is taller and has more tattoos. "Nice car. I'm Uriah and this is my idiot brother Zeke." The one in the passenger seat says to me. "Thanks. I'm Tris." I laugh at Uriah's words for Zeke. Then they both look at me and their mouths drop. The light turns green, I speed off, and they are still there with their mouths dropped open.

I get to the school and park. I turn my car off unplug my phone and get out of my car. Zeke and Uriah parked next to me and I see them staring at me again so I say "What are you both staring at?" They both blush and look away. I laugh at them. I start walking to the office and everyone is staring at me. I just continue to walk and go to the office. I go in and get my schedule from the principal Tori. She is really nice and laid back. I'm going to like it here.

I walk out of the office looking at my schedule and bump into someone. "Oh my god I'm so sorry." I say to the girl. She is a little bit darker than Zeke and Uriah but not a dark skin. She has brown hair that goes down to about her chin and dark brown eyes. "It's ok. I'm Christina you must be the new student Tris. Everyone is talking about you especially Zeke and Uriah. Usually girls throw themselves at them and Four but looks like things are going to be different for you." She says with a smile. I smile back and nod.

"Christina I can already tell we are going to be best friends." I say she immediately smiles and nods.

"Let me see your schedule." She says and I hand her my schedule.

"We have all classes together with Zeke, Uriah, Four, and Marlene. Plus your locker is right next to mine."

"I don't know Four and Marlene but I'm sure they are nice. And YYYAASS!"

We walk to our lockers. There are plenty of whistles when we walk buy but I'm used to this now. I unlock my locker and post my schedule up and look at my schedule.

1st: French

2nd: Social Studies

3rd: Language Arts

4th: Science

5th: Lunch

6th: Math

7th: Art

8th: Gym

9th: Free period

I put two folders and two notebooks in my backpack along with my pencil case and assignment book. I close my backpack and lock my locker. I turn around to a boy with black hair and green eyes in my face. I jump back and he laughs at me. Christina looks up from her locker and she glares at the boy. "Go away Peter." She says still glaring at him.

"I can't say hi to the new student?" Peter asks and checks me out.

"You can say hi but that's all your not taking her."

"Well hello Tris. I've heard a lot about you already. You're the hot girl with the black Ferrari. I'm Peter." He says to me and smiles. I smile back and just nod. He walks away.

"He's kinda creepy to me." I say making Christina laugh. Then a girl comes up next to her she introduces her to me as Marlene. This group is really nice. I'm going to have a good time.

Zeke, Uriah, and another guy who has short black hair and deep blue eyes join us. Christina again introduces me to the guy as Four. We all walk to French. Christina on my left and Uriah on my right.

I sit in between Uriah and Zeke and Christina is in front of me. The teacher walks in introduces herself to us and we just do what you usually do on the first day of school. Talk about what we are going to be learning this year, what we need, and introducing ourselves to each other.

We next head to Social Studies. We do the same exact thing but this time we talk about current events for the remainder 15 minutes. My stomach turns when we talk about the war that is going on in Iraq (this is made up don't worry). The teacher pulls up an article that says 'Young American Soldier Can't be Found Anywhere. Is He Dead or Alive?' I immediately start crying when I hear this because I think of Matthew. Is he the lost soldier? Is he dead? I never stopped loving Matty as I call him. He never stopped loving me either. Class is over and I can't stop crying. Oh my God, what if he's really dead? Tris stop everyone is staring! Zeke and Uriah see me crying and both try to cheer me up but nothing helps.

Everyone from my little group hugs me and tell me I don't have to talk about it. They introduce me to two new people, Shauna and Lynn. All of us walk to Language Arts and I am still crying. I can see everyone staring at me wondering why I'm crying. Christina introduces the class to me since I refuse to stop crying. I want to stop but I just can't my first love might be dead.

We go to science and the same thing happens as Language Arts. People are looking at me with concern but they know not to ask right now. After science is over we put all of our stuff in our locker and go to lunch. I don't feel like eating so I just save a table for my group. Everyone in my group joins me with Zeke to my left and Uriah to my right. They are still trying to cheer me up which sadly doesn't help at all. Suddenly someone comes from behind me and smashes cake in my face. Everyone in the cafeteria stops and stares at us not making a sound.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, I WILL END YOU!?" I scream and turn around to see...
