Before you guys read this, I want you to know that whatever happens/happened to me happens to Tris. Maybe a bit altered, but not that much. I'm not trying to copy anyone's story, so I don't want anyone to get mad at me for copying their story, or a friend's story, or whatever.

(Tris POV)

I don't want to get up.

It's the first day of high school. I'm not going to know anybody, and it's probably going to end up like my old school. But I have to go through school to get my education as a teacher. My dream is to become principal of a school one day.

My alarm clock rings again. I look at the time and it says 6:45 am.

"Dammit!" I muttered. I jumped out of bed and raced into the bathroom to take a quick shower.

After my shower, I went downstairs. Mom looked at me concerned.

"You need to eat, Beatrice." She said for the 500th time this year.

I sat down and pretended to eat. When five minutes had passed, I grabbed my backpack, kissed mom goodbye, and ran out to grab my car, a blue Lexus.

I parked next to Caleb, my brother's, car, to see him leaning on the hood talking to our childhood friends Susan and Robert. They were like family.

I walked up and joined him.

"Hey, Su and Robert." I greeted our old friends.

They smiled. "Hey, Beatrice." Caleb said. "Let's go get our schedules. See you later, Su."

We parted.

Now, I was no love-mistress, but it was obvious that Caleb liked Su. They always sat together at movies and when our two families went out somewhere. I always teased him about it, but not now. Not after my old school.

The principal herself took down our names and gave us our schedules. She introduced herself as Ms. Jeanine.

I had homeroom with Ms. Wu in room 101, Block 1 with her also in 358, Block 2 with Mr. Amar in 35a, lunch, Block 3 with Mistah Eric (yes, it was spelled Mistah), Block 4 with Miss Lauren, and then gym. My locker combination was 13502.

I got it open with no difficulties when a dark-skinned girl came up to me and opened the locker next to me.

"Hi! Are you new? What's your name?" She fired off questions at me quicker than I could think.

I turned away, feeling my personal walls shoring up. "I'm Tris, and I'm fine, thanks." I stalked off to homeroom, away from this annoying girl who didn't get personal space.

But she persisted and followed me. "Do you have homeroom with Ms. Wu?"

I nodded.

"Great! So do I! maybe we could sit together!"

I whirled around. "Look, could you leave me alone?"

She drew back, and I turned back around and stomped to homeroom, the girl silently following me.

I saw her, out of the corner of my eye, go and sit with her group. Something in me tightened.

I was right. This place wouldn't be any better than the last.
