Tris POV

"Wake up Tris! You're going to make us late for our first day at the Faction School!" I hear from my brother, Caleb, downstairs. I open my eyes and look at my alarm clock. 7. Oh shit. I set my alarm for 6:15 and I guess it never went off. I run to the bathroom to brush my teeth. Guess I can't take a shower this morning as I usually do. I run to my walk-in closet and grab black skinny jeans and a grey tank top and my new black leather jacket. The Dauntless wear black, but because I just transferred from the Abnegation part of the school, I wear a little bit of grey because that is what I used to wear. I'm not supposed to reminisce of about my old school, but I can't help it, it is apart of me.

I run downstairs grab an apple and granola bar from the cabinet and head out to meet Caleb by his red convertible. "About time." He says. I smirk and get into the passenger seat.

Today is my first day here at Faction School of the Dauntless, and I can't say I'm not nervous. I walk up to the front desk. "Hi, I'm new here. I'm supposed to be a junior. My name is Bea-," I stop and think, no one knows me here. I can be remade. "Tris Prior. "

"Ah, yes. I have your schedule and a map of the school for you." The lady tells me and hands me a folder. I mutter a thanks and head out the door.

I look at my schedule

1. Pre-calculus

2. AP Biology

3. Free

4. Lunch

5. Self-Defense class

6. AP History

7. Art

It looks pretty simple. I'm kind of scared for Self-defense- a class everyone takes to learn how to truly be dauntless. It's more of a "learn how to beat the shit out of people" than a "learn how to protect yourself" class.

On my way to my locker I realize something: I have no idea where my locker is or how to open it. I go to one of the first girls I see, she looks nice, "hi, um, I'm new here and I'm kind of lost. Could you help?"

"AHHH of course! What is your name? Mines Christina."

"Tris Prior. I don't know where my locker is. Oh and can you help me figure out how to open it?" I ask as politely as I can because I want to make friends here unlike in Abnegation where the only person I was friends with was Robert and Susan and pretty much the entire time we hung Susan and my brother Caleb were flirting. They all still go to Abnegation except my brother who goes to the Erudite high school.

"What is your locker number?" Christina says.

"46."

"Okay that's I couple lockers down from mine."

We walk towards my locker. The whole time she is asking me about life in Abnegation. I did not want to tell her, but I hated it. I'm not selfless like my mother or father. I always did what I wanted to do. I hated not being able to talk without being spoken to, cooking, not being able to look at a fucking mirror, or anything like that. It is my life and I was restricted to live it while I was there.

She teaches me how to open my locker and then grabs my schedule from my hands. "Okay so we have history, self-defense, and the free with me, Shauna, and Uriah. Oh and I think you will have Pre-calc, art, and bio with Will, Marlene, Zeke, and Four. Ahh we will be best friends!"

"Who are the rest of the people you listed?" I ask curiously.

"Will is my boyfriend, Marlene and Uriah like each other, but they don't date, Zeke and Shauna date, and Four is- well I don't know he is very mysterious. He only really talks to Zeke." I nod as my reply and head to pre-calculus.

My morning classes have been good so far. I have met everyone, but Four. I just hope they all liked me. Marlene and Uriah obviously like each other and only talk to one another, while Zeke and Shauna were making out in the middle of class and got sent to the principal, Mrs. Matthews. It is lunchtime now and I am starving.

I get to the lunchroom and see Christina waving me over. I get over there and am greeted by everyone, except for Four, who is yet again, not here. Man that guy really is mysterious.

"Where's Four? I really need to talk to him." Zeke says. He is answered with a bunch of shrugs.

"So Tris how do you like Dauntless so far?" Uriah asks while taking a bite of cake.

"I actually really like it. Especially this cake."

"True Dauntless cake right there. It is the best." Marlene says. Everyone agrees and continues talking.

30 minutes later the bell rings and I walk to Self-defense with Christina, Uriah, and Shauna.

I get home later that day exhausted. I go right up to my room and start my homework. Soon after I head to the gym in our basement and start practicing some of the self-defense moves I learned today. I already know most of them, but I keep practicing because I want to keep getting faster and stronger.

At 11pm I get in bed and think of today and the next year. I think I will like this place. I start to drift asleep when the fighting starts. My last thought I before my breaths evened was how do they fight so much if they are abnegation? Well I guess mom will need someone to vent to tomorrow after school. I should be preparing myself for being in front of a crying mother, but I am too tired to think.
