The New Girl

Chapter 2- Tris POV

When I wake up, I get dressed. I put hair in a bun and get dressed. I pick out tight grey leggings and a black shirt. Now since I`m 16, my mom allows me to pick what I want to wear. I go down the stairs walking because my parents don`t allow me to run. They say it attracts too much attention and disturbs people around you. When I get down and into the living room, my mom is sitting on a chair knitting and my brother is reading. My dad comes over and kisses me lightly on the top of my head. I go into the kitchen and grab an apple and get my stuff organized for school in my backpack. I check and see if I have everything and it look like I do. Caleb and I put our jackets on, put our backpacks over our shoulders and walk to the bus stop. When the bus pulls up a few others go on before us because Caleb made me wait to let others on the bus. How is it so easy for him to be selfless? We get on and I sit at the next available seat avoiding everyone`s rude comments and feet pulled out to trip me. I already know this is going to be a long day. I watch outside the windows as the bus drives to school. The bus stops and people push and shove to get off. I wait until everyone but Caleb is off and I walk up to the front door of the school and take a deep breath and walk in. I find the office right away and walk up to the counter and till I`m guessing the secretary is off the phone. She hangs up the phone and I say "Excuse me". "Yes, how can I help you?" she asks, "Well I`m new here and I-" before I could finish she says, "Oh Beatrice right?" "Yes that`s me". "Follow me" she says, she leads me to a door that says Principal and knocks on the door. A tall lady with short blond hair and glasses opens the door. The secretary says "this is Beatrice the transfer" "oh right, why don`t you come in" says the principal. So I walk into a room with a large desk with a computer, a window behind and two chairs in front of the desk. She sits in the chair behind and I sit in one of the two chairs and put my sweaty hands on my lap. "My name is Mrs. Matthews and I`m the principal of the school". "I see you were home schooled until now so I will give you a brief tour of this school and show you how exactly our system works here". "Clear" she asks "Yes, I`m clear" I say a little nervously. So here is your schedule and if you would follow me". I follow her out and out of the office and into the cramped halls full of people staring at me and whispering to the person next to them. She stops in front of tons of lockers and gives me a piece of paper with numbers on them. She explains how to work my lock and I put my backpack in there and lock it. Then she shows me all my classrooms. Science, History, Language, Geography, Art, Music, Health and Cooking.
