Tris POV

I wake up in the morning to the horrid sound of my alarm. I groan as I roll over to turn it off. I sit up. Oh no. School today.

I get up and throw on a black tank top, black skinny jeans, a black cropped leather jacket and my black combat boots. Can you guess my favorite color?

It's actually blue. But black looks better.

I brush my hair and decide to leave it down. It looks better like that anyway. Good thing I don't wear make up so I don't have to wake up as early.

I check the time. It's 7:00am. Uh oh! School starts at 7:30am! I better get a move on.

I run downstairs and shove a piece of toast in my mouth as I run out the door. I have to walk to school until my brother finally passes his test and starts driving me.

His name's Caleb and he's in the year above me. He's super smart and very nerdy. I'm always teasing him about it.

I start heading off to school, eating my toast and twenty minutes later I finally arrive.

For the past few years I've dreaded school. There was a lot of drama back at my old school. It's all because of my ex boyfriend, Peter. When I broke up with him he snapped and started spreading rumors about me. Peter was more popular than I was so people believed him. I was fairly nerdy myself. I ended up with no friends and severe depression.

I went through a long stage of skipping school and drinking and doing drugs and when my parents found out they were furious. I'm still punished for it now. I hope they let it go soon though.

I walk up to the office to get my timetable. I read through it, hoping I have good classes.

Doesn't sound too bad. I walk over to my locker. Why do they number everything here? I find number six easily. I put my stuff in my locker.

I suddenly realize how quiet it is. I look up. Wait! Everyone's in class already! The bell must've gone when I was in the office.

Where is my class anyway? Room 16? That could be anywhere! I start walking down a hallway. Room 4...5... I keep going until I reach 10 then it stops. What?!

I look around. I could do with a map. Well now I'm really late! I need to hurry up! I walk quickly through the hallways looking at my schedule.

I crash into someone and fall hard onto the ground. "Sorry..." I say then look up. Woah... He's kind of cute.

"It's cool," he says and smiles at me. I blush. Wow. I keep forgetting that there are no rumors. "I've never seen you here before..."

"Yeah, I just moved. Its my first day." My voice sounds so sweet and innocent.

He grins. "Well, I'm Four. I'm...kind of a big deal around here." I can see why. Bad boy attitude, sparkling blue eyes, perfect hooked nose, obviously strong. And obviously has a girlfriend...

"I'm B..." I pause. Beatrice. What a horrible name. Whenever I hear it I just think of the kids at Dauntless High making fun of me. You know what? New life, new name. "I'm...Tris," I say smiling.

He laughs. "Did you forget?"

I smile. A cute guy is actually talking to me! "No, I just... I'm shy."

"Well maybe I can help with that..." He leans his arm against the wall.

I suddenly come back to Earth. "Oh shoot! I really need to get to class! Sorry. Um... Would you happen to know where room..." I check my schedule again, "16 is?"

He nods. "Sure, I was just heading that way myself." He starts walking upstairs. Oh... Upstairs...

We walk onto the classroom and all eyes are on me. "Sorry I'm late..." I say to the teacher. "I didn't know where I was going..."

"That's okay," he says. I go to take a seat. "Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?" Oh no.. I never liked attention. I don't know why it's just scary.

I hesitantly walk to the front of the class. "H-Hi..." I stutter. Oh you are not off to a good start. Confidence. I put on a smile. You can't mess this up like last time. "My name's Tris, my parents moved here during the summer and now I'm here. Thanks for your attention," I say sarcastically.

I take a seat in one of the only spots left, next to a window. I can see the entire front lawn from here.

"Okay," the teacher says. "Let's get started!"

Okay, that was the first chapter. I would really appreciate some feedback on this chapter, this was fairly boring but its the first chapter, what do you expect?

Thank you so much for reading!

Byee!
