It's important to say, I don't own Divergent, Veronica Roth does!
As I insert my card into the slot on our door handle, I think to myself, This is it. Now is the beginning. I open the door to see a small room, on either side of the door are single beds pushed up to either wall one covered in underwear. On the wall facing the me are two chests of draws with a couple of shelves above and on the right wall is a narrow open door peering into a bathroom. A head pops out, a look of surprise occurs and then a body follows. She's tanned, about half a head taller than myself with a willowy, yet muscly figure.
"You must be Beatrice,"It sounds weird how she says it, her accent doesn't fit my name," I'm Christina," she says holding out a hand, I take it and try to shake it, am I gripping hard enough? Not enough?
"Hi, yes, I am. Nice to meet you." my voice trembles, it's important to make a good first impression, I mean I'm living here for the next year.
"You really aren't from around here, are you?" She jokes.
"Of course not." I look around the room and take it all in, here I am. I am finally here.
"Oh!"She says interupting my thought, I'm sorry this room is such a tip. I'm not really used to living with a room mate, it's been well over a semester since Myra was last here. Oh yeah, she's my last room mate. " She speaks a hundred miles an hour, I don't understand how anyone get's what she's saying. I think it over before I reply,
"Where did she go?"
"With her boyfriend, he was in an... Incident with a boy named Peter. Steer clear of him, he's nothing but trouble."
"Oh, but I don't know who-"
"-Oh yeah, I completely forgot! Sorry, I'll point him out if we see him, he's not exactly hard to miss." She scoffs.
I mumble a reply under my breath as I lug my bag onto my bed. As I begin to unpack, Christina scuttles off to finish whatever she was doing.
I place my last item in my drawer as there is a knock on the door. Christina lunges for it and in the doorway stands the boy from earlier, his tanned skin looking more so in the light of our room. She enwraps her arms around his neck, as she pulls away, she almost shouts,
"Uriah! I missed you!"
"I missed you too Chris, it's been a while, who's your friend," he says as he edges around her, judging by the look on his face he remembers me from earlier.
"Uriah, this is Beatrice-"
"-Actually, call me Tris. Beatrice is too long, it doesn't really suit me."
"What ever you say 'Tris'" Uriah says as he edges closer, "Unless you didn't catch when Christina shouted it, I'm Uriah. I'm sorry about almost hitting your head earlier. "
"It's okay, "I smile,"Nice to meet you, " This time I extend the hand, I have to act like them after all. He takes it with a firm grip. He lets go of my hand and looks around. As he moves his head I notice the snake creeping around his ear from behind his neck, it's weird how to school allows pupils to get tattoos as such, at home that would be an automatic expulsion.
"Jesus Christ Chris, look at this, what have you done to your room? And what are these? Will will certainly like them, " he smirks as he pulls up a pair of lacy pink pants.
"Uriah, stop it, for God's sake. Tris, Uriah's like that annoying brother no one wants-"
"-Imagine how Zeke feels, oh yeah, he's my brother. " He states for my benefit, "Speaking of Zeke, he said that he and Four would be meeting me here, I'll text him again."
"What about Will?" Christina complains as she tidies up her underwear.
"Well, I presumed he would already be here," piecing the pieces together; Will and Christina must be dating. "I'll text him too then." He keeps his head down and stares at his phone screen,"So Tris tell me a bit about yourself, are you also a junior?"
"Yeah, I am, I presume you also are?"
"Yeah, Zeke, my brother," he reminds me," and his friend Four who's also coming up here, are both seniors."
"So, do you guys like all hang out?" I ask.
"Well, sorta, Chris and Will spend a lot of time together, so I'm quite close to Zeke and Four, I was dreading what would happen if no one new came before next year, I would have had to spend all my time alone with the love birds." Frantic knocking comes from the door and Uriah launches to get it. A tall blonde boy steps inside and gives a puzzled look as to my presence.
"Hi," He steps over to me,"I'm Will, are you Chris' new roommate?"
"Oh, so you're Will?" I joke.
"Christina's being going on again?" At this moment, Christina launches herself at him and kisses him with full on passion.
"Urgh, no PDA," Uriah says quietly so that only us two can hear what he said, I let out a small laugh as the door goes once more. Two tall, well built boys stand there, both dark haired, one is literally an older version of Uriah, meaning that he's Zeke, the other then must be Four.
"Tris, this is Zeke and Four," Uriah says.
"Hi, nice to meet you, " I take the smaller boy's hand," I'm Zeke."
"So you must be Four then, " I smirk at Four. I look into his eyes, they're an unique shade of blue, one that I've never seen before, his sparce upper lip complements his full lower one as the corners turn up into a smile.
