Chapter 1
Tris POV
Shit. Shit. Shit. I'm late for band practice. Haha, not band practice, with guitars and singers, but band practice. Like, marching band. Band is literally my life. I can play most every instrument I pick up, but I like to stay in my section. The flute section.
I pull into the parking lot and see that people are still walking to the field. Phew. Not as late as I thought. I go inside, put together my flute, and as I'm heading out, my band director stops me.
"Tris, I need you to do something for me. I know you can do it, and that's why I give so many responsibilities to you. I know you can handle this."
He looks stressed. He's really good at hiding his stress of he is, but I can tell. I pride myself on being one of the few people that can.
I follow him into his office, and I'm met with the most gorgeous blue eyes I've ever seen. We smile at each other and I turn to my director.
"Tris, this is Four. Four, this is Tris. Tris, Four just moved here, and he plays bass clarinet and several other instruments. I want you to show him the way we do things around here. Thanks Tris." He leaves for the field, ready to start rehearsal.
I sit down across from Four. "So, Four, tell me about yourself."
He laughs. "Well, my name is Four, I just transferred here from Ross High School in California. I moved here with my dad a couple of weeks ago. I'm a junior and I play sports. I play soccer, tennis, and basketball. And I also run track. I'm 17 years old." He looks at me and smiles. He has a nice smile.
"So, Tris. Tell me about yourself." He grins.
"Well, my name is Tris Prior. I've lived in Middleton for as long as I can remember. I'm a junior this year, and I'm 16. I play almost every instrument, but I stick with the flute. As for sports, not really. I'm more into theater." I look at him, and he's grinning like an idiot. I laugh.
"So let me show you how we do things around here, starting with when we pick out your locker." I grab his hand and lead him into the open space of the band room. I immediately feel a shock, like electricity just passed through my hand. I wonder if he felt it.
I lead him to the lockers, and he picks out one in between Zeke and Uriah. Oh, boy, this year will be interesting. He gets his instrument and puts it together while I wait.
We stand in the band room, and I teach him the basics of fundamentals. When I feel like he's ready, we go to the field. Everyone stares at me and Four. Then the whispering starts.
"Everyone, be quiet! You aren't supposed to move at attention, are you? Anyway, this is Four, and he's new to our family so make him feel welcome!"
We go through practice without a problem, but I can see Lauren, a guard member, flirting with him. For some reason, it makes me mad. At the end of practice, my director stops me again.
"Tris, I'm going to print Four off some of his drill sheets, and you are going to help him set his drill for the show. Sound good?" I nod my head in agreement.
I head back to the band room, and see Four talking to Zeke. Good, at least he's making friends. But where's-
I feel someone pick me up.
"Uriah! Put me down this instant!" I start to laugh, so it's not very convincing. Uriah is one of my best friends. He plays the mellophone. He carries me over to where Zeke and Four are. I see Four's eyes, and it looks like he's jealous. But why?
When Uriah puts me down, I hug Zeke. Zeke is Uriah's older brother. He'a a junior, along with Uriah and I. Christina, my best friend, makes her way to where we are. She is trailed by her boyfriend, Will, who is trailed by Marlene and Shauna. Christina plays the marimba, Will plays the trombone, Marlene plays the saxophone, Shauna plays snare, and Zeke plays the tenor saxophone.
Practice ended about 10 minutes ago, but we all make plans to go out to eat and get to know Four. I look up and see Peter, a trumpet player who I despise, is staring at me. More of a glare really. You know how trumpet players are. Egotistical know-it-alls. His sister, Lauren, just glares at me, and her and Peter leave.
We make plans to meet at D&D's Diner. They have the best cake ever. We leave practice, Christina riding with me. She turns down the radio.
"So who was that guy you can in late with, and why were you late?" She wiggles her eyebrows and grins. She had a dirty mind.
I sigh. "It wasn't anything like that. Mr. Matthews asked me to help him out. And he's the new kid."
Christina looked at me like she didn't believe me, but she didn't question it anymore. We pulled into D&D's.
We ate and talked Four into trying the chocolate cake. He loved it. We left to go home, and I realized that Four lives about two houses down the street from me. I wave to him and he waves back, and I go inside.
I collapse on my bed, exhausted from practice and the night I had. I fall asleep before my head hits the pillow.
So there's the first chapter! Do you guys like it? Please review! But, if you don't want to that's okay too. Anywho, thanks you guys! You all are great! (:
