Warning: This story contains a bunch of events that happen in the real trilogy by Veronica Roth, but it's set in today's world. Some characters may be OC, and if that is a problem for you, just PM me or leave a review wishing me to keep the characters as Mrs. Roth describes them. This story is not so sappy, but I'm not either, so read at your own risk. Now, let's start the show!

Tris POV:

"Beatrice! Get up! We'll be late for school!" Caleb shouts from downstairs. I hear his come up to my room, so I get ready to throw a pillow at him, "Beatrice, did you hear me? I don't want to be late again. What will Dr. Matthews think of us?" Damn you Caleb. Why do you even care about that still? Dr. Matthews calls you her star student. You have nothing to worry about. Nothing that will mess up your perfect 4.0 permanent record. At least you are my alarm clock...

I am interrupted by Caleb banging on my door, "Beatrice! Are you even listening? I have no intention of getting anymore tardy slips!"

"Then convince mom and dad to buy me a car!"

"Grr, just get up!"

I roll my eyes and slip on some black skinny jeans and a dark gray top. Before slipping out of my room, I pull my iPod off of its charger and stick it in my backpack. I travel downstairs.

"Goodbye Caleb," my mom kisses his cheek and turns to me, "Good morning, Beatrice."

"Morning mom." I grab an apple and a water and run out the door, behind Caleb.

"Bye dad!"

"Goodbye, Beatrice! try not to get into too much trouble toda-" he tells me, but his voice is cut off by the swinging door.

I get into the shotgun seat. Caleb was already there waiting for me, so as soon as I put on my seat belt, he pulls out of the driveway. He starts telling me about the values of getting into this new club, called the Erudite (for uber-geeks, if you ask me), and he really wants it, but to get in, he needs to get perfect attendance, tardiness included. He goes on and on about this, so I pull out my iPod and listen to Flyleaf's new soundtrack.

As soon as Caleb and I get to school, we split up. He goes with his friends to get ready for class. There is still 30 minutes until class starts, and now I dread Caleb for making me wake up early. But, that gives me a chance to see my friends, so I go to the cafeteria and meet them, but I cannot find them.

"Hey Tris! Over here!"

I take a deep breath. This is it. A new year, a new beginning. Everything that happened over the summer is history.

I turn my head around and see Christina waving at me. I grin and walk over, "Hey Christina. So I guess we're juniors now. Enjoy your holidays?"

She nods and starts telling me about her trip to Louisiana. She looks dreamily at Will, who's playing Minecraft on his phone.

Then Zeke walks over to me. he puts his arm around my shoulders. I push them off.

"Miss me Tris?"

"Hardly."

"Fine, " he grumbles, "Anyways, I'd like to introduce you to my new friend, I met over the summer, while working in an internship at that new burger place downtown. This is Four. Four, this is Tris."

I am greeted by an incredibly handsome young man. His eyes are dark blue and dreamy. He holds out his hand and I look at it dumbfounded. Tris! Shake it! So I smile and shake it blushing. He is so fit. Four smiles and looks at his feet, also blushing.

"So, I guess I'll see you around?"

"Yeah." He smiles again, then walks with Zeke to get some of the cafeteria's breakfasts.

"So..." Christina says, scooting over to me and wiggling her eyebrows.

"Yes?"

"What was that?"

"What was what? I smile nervously.

"Tris! Stop it! You know what I mean. Four obviously likes you and you obviously like him. I mean when I got here all of the girls were staring at him. He's so cute, plus he's a newbie, so that complicates things. Like I heard that he's the quarterback for varsity football and kept his number, four, from his old school. Now cheerleaders will want him. What will this mean for us? Hey, maybe I should be a cheerleader!" She keeps talking, but I stop listening. I notice Uriah and Marlene making out and look away. I see Lynn looking in disgust at them, and smile at her. Her eyes find mine and she smirks.

I tap my fingers against my chin, pondering what to do until the bell rings. A shadow passes over me, and I know who it is. "Hey Peter," I say, slightly annoyed.

"Miss me over the summer holidays?"

I roll my eyes.

"That's a little rude. Didn't your parents tell you that it's polite to respond when someone is speaking to you? Say, you're a little stiff."

I ignore him again, but he keeps antagonizing me, "What's wrong? Oh, I see. Didn't get a present from your vacation for me? That's not nice. I think that you deserve a beating."

Then Four walks up, growling, "Touch her and I'll make you sorry."

"Oh? And who are you, newbie?"

"Four."

"That must stand for something."

"Does the last name 'Eaton' ring a bell?" Everyone gasps. Marcus Eaton is the mayor, who has close ties with our principal, Dr. Jeanine Matthews.

After an awkward silence, everyone goes back to what they are doing. Christina is wondering aloud why Four stood up for me and sneaking glances at Will again. I listen to my iPod and glance at Four. He's pointing at Peter and speaking to his face to never come near anyone of us again. He threatens him and Peter walks out, looking scared.

Everyone is again, in shock.

Then the five minute warning bell rings.
