Divergent High

by Divergent Girl 123

I know this is overused but I really love this idea. Tris and Tobias have known each other since they were 5. Tobias has to leave Abnegation for another faction. There, he waits for Tris. Will they remember each other? Will Uriah get in the way of their friendship? Tris will meet many new people, some friends, some enemies. All rights to Veronica Roth.

1. Chapter 1

Tris POV
I sit on the stool that my mother places in front of the mirror on the second day of every third month. She sits in front of me as she cuts my hair. I can't help but look at my small, frail body in the mirror. I was born into Abnegation, the selfless faction, eleven years ago. My mother is probably the most selfless person I know. She is never selfish or curious. My brother and father are in a close second though. Sometimes i catch my brother, Caleb, with his nose in a book. My father always reprimands him for it though. I couldn't imagine Caleb in another faction though.

I head for school, even though i really don't want to go. I get made fun of for everything, especially how plain I appear. Peter, the popular kid at my school, started pushing me around and laughing at how I look. A very handsome boy from Abnegation, named Tobias Eaton, told him to leave me alone. He took me to the nurse and I got cleaned up.

I sat by him on the bus ride home and thanked him. I think that we are friends, but I don't want to embarrass myself by acting clingy.

I decide to sit in the back of the bus on the way to school. Tobias sits next to me, at first I am surprised. He starts talking to me, nothing is ever awkward between us. We get to know each other and I am glad that my school mixes grades because he is one grade above me. He got held back in first grade but I don't know why because he is very bright.

"What class do you have first?" I ask. He just tells me his whole schedule.
1. English
2. History
3. Drama
4. Science
5. Lunch A
6. Gym
7. Math
8. Advisory

"We have the exact same schedule!" I say, trying not to sound too excited.

We talk for a while about random stuff. Like, what is our favorite color, what shoe size we wear, and other personal stuff. I still question why he enjoys being around me because I am not pretty and I am extremely has stunning, blue eyes that draw your attention whenever you look at him. I blush when he catches me staring at him.

"What was your name again?" he asks me. I frown and look down at my shoes in disappoint that he doesn't even remember my name.

"My name is Be-" I stop because I don't want to be called Beatrice anymore. "Tris," I mutter. "My name is Tris," I repeat my name to make sure he heard it.

"Tris," when he says it, it makes me love this new name I have given myself. "I like that name," he tells me.

I stare into his deep blue eyes. I get lost in them and I don't come back to reality until he snaps his fingers at me.

"Tris?" He says with a confused look on his face.

"Oh, sorry," I say, hoping he doesn't notice my embarrassment.

We are silent the rest of the way there. When we get to school, I go to my locker. Which just happens to be right across the hallway from Tobias's locker.
