Altering His Ways

Chapter 2-partners

I awake with a start to the sound of my alarm blaring from the table beside my bed. I slam my hand dow and get out of bed. I walk towards my closet while a recollection of memories from the night before collect in my head. I aimlessly get dressed in a tan sweater with lace frills at the bottom, faded blue jeans, and my brown boots while still in deep thought about Four. I can't help but wonder about his name. I walk downstairs to find Tori already at work, yesterday I found out she works as a nurse at the Chicago General Hospital. I grab an apple and sit down at the table still in thought about last night. Halfway through the apple I get in my car and drive to Divergent High School. I walk to the office while everyone took judge mental glances at me, whispering their thoughts their friends. I can't blame them, who else comes to a new school in the middle of the year.

Once I have my schedule I start for my first class. Immedietly I'm lost and look around for someone I know. Uriah comes out of nowhere and puts his arm around me. "so, what do you have first period?" he asks. I take out my schedule and show him. After comparing periods for a couple minutes we head towards gym.

I'm kind of clumsy and not coordinated enough for sports but I participated anyway. After making a fool of myself during soccer and kicking Zeke a few times by accident it walk over to apologize. "I am so sorry. I guess soccer isn't my sport." I say apologetically. "No big deal." He says trying to sound tuff but I can tell after a couple kicks it hurt. "I didn't know that was possible to miss kick that many times." She says while laughing. "Yeah, there goes my soccer dreams." I retort while they laugh.

A couple classes pass by, luckily including at least one person from last night. Now it's lunch time and spending an hour in room full of the same people who judged me this morning isn't exactly what I want to do. I got an invite from Uriah to sit with him and the rest of his friends at lunch. I was going to just head up to the library and study, but who could pass up friends? I open the doors and everyone looks up and I can hear the gossip from across the room. I walk straight towards Uriah's table to have Zeke give up his seat for me again and grab another one. "Boys will be boys." Christina says laughing a little with a tiny bit of jealousy in her voice. "Where did you move from?" Will asks after a couple minutes of silence. "Um, everywhere I guess." I say unsure, "My parent like to travel a lot so I've never stayed at a school longer than a year since I was eight. Now that I'm older I need some ground to build my future on." I say noticing Four came to the table.

I walk into history knowing this is my only class without my friends. I walk up to the teacher and ask where I sit. He looks up and points to an empty seat near Four. I reluctantly walk towards the desk and sit down. After I get out my books he turns towards me "I want to apologize for last night and I just know I'm not always like that." I take a deep breath and turn to face him. "Was it something I did? They told me you don't like it when girls flirt with you, did I project that?" I start to babble. "It's nothing you did I had a family issue, you were perfect." He says before turning away as the teacher comes in.
