Beatrice Prior was a typical 18 year old in Chicago. Preparing to leave home for the first time. She was leaving for Columbia University in New York City tomorrow. Her brother Caleb, who was 11 months older than her, but still in the same year of school, was jealous that his sister had gotten into a private Ivy League school, and every other school she applied to, which was all of the Ivy Leagues. He had only gotten into Northeastern Illinois University. He was mad because it was a public city college. He had done good in school until senior year. Tris had told him so many times to keep his grades up so he could go to Dartmouth, which is where he wanted to go. Their parents seemed so disappointed that he only got into the city college. Caleb also thought that Tris was getting more attention because she had gotten into all 8 Ivy League schools.
Tris was in her room, packing the last of her things. Her parents were more than happy to pay the almost $30,000 tuition for her, while they wanted Caleb to pay most of the $17,709 tuition himself. They said that he didn't work hard to get into Dartmouth and he could have if he showed that he wanted to work hard and go there, so he was being punished by being made to go to the city college, live at home, and pay his tuition. Caleb decided that he would study to become a journalist, but he really wanted to study medicine.
Tris had her going away party three days ago, and she ended up with over $500. Caleb was pissed because he had to go to the party and give her something. He gave her twenty dollars.
Tris began to put her boxes in her brand new custom built 2016 grey Cadillac Escalade with 4 wheel drive, a luxury black interior, with 22 inch, a DVD player, headphones, USB ports, a bike rack for 4 bikes, chrome door handles, a chrome tip exhaust pipe, and dual 7 spoke wheels with an ultra bright machined finish.
This was her graduation present. She freaked out when she saw it, and when her parents told her they had it custom built, she was even more excited about it. They had told her that they knew she would need a good car for travel to and from school. Caleb had seen it when they were putting the bow on before they left for their graduation ceremony. Tris wasn't there because she had to get there early because she was valedictorian.
Caleb had gotten a 2014 green Kia Soul. He was upset he didn't get a new car but he knew he wasn't going to get everything Tris got anymore. She was the smart one now.
