A.N: Hey guys! So just to clear a few things up, I wanted to say that this boarding school is not like any other boarding school. Each faction governs themselves, and they don't really care about a bar being off campus. The dauntless have only a few rules if any, and the rest of the school leaves them be. Well, that was it! Thank you to everyone who read and reviewed and followed and that sort of thing. I love you guys! Pus, huge shout out to Lifeasitisknown; she is an amazing writer and has a fantastic Divergent Boarding School fan fiction. Okay go check her out and I hope you enjoy! 3
Tris POV
As I pull into the school, I'm shocked. The school is composed of 6 buildings, one large white building surrounded by five slightly smaller buildings, each one having its own color. I park my car in the front of the white building and enter the two glass double doors. There was a desk in the front of the room with a sign reading Office hanging above from the ceiling. The woman behind the desk saw me and asked, "May I help you?"
She was slim and dressed in all black with long all black hair, except for a streak of red in the front.
"Yes, um I'm new here…" I replied shyly.
"Okay, my name is Tori and if you ever need anything you can just come up here. But first we need to get you into a faction," she must have seen the look of confusion on my face because she started to explain. "Here at DBS, we separate our students into 5 factions; we find it helps people have a sort of family aspect. The Dauntless are the brave and courageous, which is also the faction I was in when I went here." She says proudly. "The other four factions are Erudite the smart, Amity the peaceful, Candor the brutally honest, and Abnegation the selfless. Here is a simple test to help you decide your faction."
She hands me a packet and a pen and I start. By the time I finish I feel like I've just had my brain pried open. I walk back to Tori and hand her the packet back to get my results.
"Well! Tris, you are very unique. Usually people get a definite faction but today you get to choose from Dauntless, Erudite, and Abnegation."
Slightly confused but not wanting to argue, I think through my options. I'm not nearly smart enough to be Erudite, plus I don't want to be a nerd. I'm too selfish for Abnegation, so that leaves me with Dauntless. Without any further thought I pick Dauntless. I want to be brave.
Tori instruct me that I will be staying in the black building and that I must wear black to represent my faction. She also hands me a packet with dorm rules, school rules, etc., and my dorm number. I will be rooming with one person.
Lucky for me it seems the only colors I wear are black, red, and grey. I walk around, getting lost in the twisting of the unfamiliar buildings, until I find the black building. When I approach it, I realize that it isn't actually black, but covered in Graffiti.
"Wow," I say to myself. While I was busy staring at the building like an idiot, a girl was trying to talk to me.
"Hey! You dropped your paper," as she said this she glanced down at the slip in her hands. "Oh! You're in room 646, so am I! I'm Christina by the way."
"Hey! I'm Tris." I say politely enough. We continue walking but Christina stopped us to talk with someone.
"Four, this is Tris. Tris, meet Four." Christina introduced as we shook each other's hand. Four's eyes were a deep blue color, with flecks of baby blue in places. I stared at them for a while until Christina let out a small cough, waking me from my daze. I blushed and looked down at my shoes. I heard a small laugh, but I was unsure of who it belonged to.
Four POV
As I was walking back out of the dauntless building, I heard Christina call my name. I've known her for a while because I dated her sister once. But of course, her sister was a total slut. I got to know Christina because her sister would ask me to come over and then leave 10 minutes later to go to some party. It was basically her ploy to get a free babysitter. Now I don't mind because Chris is one of my best friends.
"Four this is Tris, Tris meet Four." She introduced me to the petite girl standing next to her. I reached out my hand for her to shake and she took it shyly. Wow, she's not grinning at me like she wants to rip my clothes off. She looks up at me and we stare for a while. Her eyes, I don't know what to say. Four stop being so mushy. Her eyes were a deep brown that reflected everything she saw, including me. She had a small, pixie like face, and a body to match. She wasn't hot in the sense of teenage guy's point of view, but she had this underlying strength to her. She was beautiful.
She suddenly looked down at the floor, embarrassed, probably from staring so long. I let out a small laugh of disbelief (if that is even possible) then said goodbye. As they walked away, Tris looked back up. I glanced back at her as I walked toward the cafeteria, and then turned away. I know this sounds cliché, but Tris seems different. Maybe I could open up to her like Amar said. Right when I decided this, a strong arm wrapped around my throat. I spun around out of its grasp and punched my attacker in the stomach. I only realized it was Zeke when he had landed on the cement.
"Fuck man, it was only me!" Zeke half joked while I helped him off the ground.
"Well how the hell was I supposed to know!" I said dramatically while grinning. Zeke has been my best friend since we were kids, we seemed to always be on the same sports teams and go to the same schools. He and his brother Uriah are my best friends; well actually they are like my brothers.
I realized he wasn't with Shauna and asked, of course, "Where's your other half?"
"Oh, she left a while ago to hang out with Marlene and Lynn."
We continued to walk to the Cafeteria, where we sat down at our usual table. After stuffing our faces with about a 5 pieces of dauntless cake each, we headed back to our dorm.
"Hey far warning, I'm having a little party at out dorm, which may or may not end in Truth or Dare." I rolled my eyes and he shot his hands up in the air. " Don't role your eyes at me like I'm the bad guy, I am inviting Chris and her new roommate Tris, so it won't be as bad, but you need to get out more…" I stopped listening to him at Tris. This could be great our terrible. I could get to know her better at the party, or have to watch her play seven minutes in heaven with some guy during truth or dare, and knowing Zeke there will definitely be truth or dare.
