If you ever have any ideas for the story put them in the reviews and if I use it I'll give you credit! (:
Tris POV
I wake up to the sound of my alarm playing Free to Be Me by Francesca Battistelli:
'Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy'
Today is my first day of my sophomore year; it wouldn't have been that bad if I wasn't starting at a completely new school. My family recently moved to Chicago from Minnesota, because my dad's job transferred him out here. It didn't cause any problems for my mom since she's an author and does a lot of charity work. My mom can do her job pretty much anywhere.
My new school is called Divergent High. About a week ago, Caleb and I had to go to the school to take a test. The test sorted us into what the school calls 'Factions'. Caleb was put into Erudite, which are for those who really like to be challenged in school. It didn't really surprise me since Caleb always is reading anything he can find. I had the choice between Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless. I could never really picture myself in Erudite, even though I get good grades; I'm not really the type who loves learning. I thought about Abnegation, but I didn't think I was selfless enough, even though I help my mom out at some of her charity events. That left me with Dauntless. Dauntless was for the brave. These were usually the outgoing kids and those who loved to play sports.
I ended up choosing Dauntless. I play tennis and basketball. I was first doubles for tennis at my last school. My partner and I ended up going to state, only to lose in the second round. I also was the starting shooting guard at my last school for basketball. I was #1 in my state for the most points and assists; I didn't really care though because I just focused on playing the game. I'm hoping to play tennis and basketball this year, I don't know how that will turn out, but I figured I'd give it a shot. Tennis try outs are today after school, while basketball try outs aren't until tennis season is over.
I look at the time and see that it's 6:45. Crap! School starts at 7:40. I have to get there early so I can get everything put away and find my classes. Luckily, I picked out my outfit last night. It's a black, quarter length see-through button up shirt, with a black tank top underneath. I also decided on my Miss Me jeans and my black flip flops. Since I'm running out of time I decide to put my hair up in a pony tail. I decide on just putting on mascara, I'm not a big fan of make up anyways. While I'm brushing my teeth, I hear Caleb yelling at me to hurry up.
I run down the stairs and Caleb says, "Finally! What took you so long Beatrice?"
"Caleb, how many times have I told you?! Call me Tris, not Beatrice."
"Sorry, Tris. Hurry up! I'll be waiting in the car"
I decide on grabbing a muffin to eat on the way to school. I fill up my water bottle, grab my backpack, my tennis bag, an extra pair of clothes, and walk out the door. As I get into the car, I can't help but hope that today goes well.
A/N: So that was my first update! Let me know what you guys think! I'll try to update either later tonight or tomorrow!
