A/N: Yeah, I'm updating again! But don't get too used to this, I won't always update this often:) This one's pretty short, but I'm just super excited to get this fanfic started! Also, sorry these first few chapters are so sucky! Her school days won't always be this long. I'm just trying to give you a feel for everybody's personalities and what Tris thinks of everyone. Once the first day of school is over I swear the story will develop a real plot and not just be some pointless high-school singsong story! If anybody has any suggestions, please please PLEASE let me know by reviewing or PM-ing me! Thanks so much! Enjoy Chapter 4!
I almost laugh as I walk into the lunch room. It's SO CLICHE! Closest to the door are the nerdiest kids, set up so they can escape to their classes to be the first ones there. The most popular jocks and the cheerleaders sit at a large table in the center of the room, and the wanna-be's sit at the two small square tables just outside the circle. The goth/emo-type people sit in the back corner next to the wall, isolating themselves from everyone else. The normal-looking people sit scattered around in groups of unfilled tables. As for me and my new group of friends, we take a spot in the back corner by the window. I think my friends could be classified as the more edgy group of people who don't give a crap about the popular people and love joking around and being crazy. When I used to imagine having good friends, these are the type of people I thought of.
Christina energetically beckons me over to the table, but I'm stopped by a boy with short, dark brown hair and cold, brown eyes. "Hey there, new girl," he says, trying to flirt with me. I hold up a finger to Christina to show her that I'll be over there in a second and have no intention of sitting with the flirtatious boy.
"Yes?" I ask, not wanting to be rude.
"My name is Peter. This is Drew, Molly, and Al. You don't wanna sit with those losers over there! Come sit with us. We're much better," he says winking.
"Oh, I'm so tempted to come sit with an unattractive boy and his annoying, stupid followers over my new friends!" I say sarcastically, ditching my originally polite intentions after he insulted my new friends.
"So that's a yes?" Peter says with a smirk.
"Hahahahaha no," I say, walking away and resisting the urge to flip him off.
"What was that?" Christina asks me when I get to our table.
"Just Peter being an ass, no worries," I say, dismissing it with a wave of my hand.
"Ugh, he's always like that," Marlene sympathizes.
"Especially if he doesn't like you, and he probably doesn't like you since you just ditched him and his friends. Prepare yourself for war, they're all pretty merciless," Uriah interjects.
Oh joy, first day of school and I already have enemies.
"Anyways, how's the food here?" I ask, changing the subject off of me. I hear a series of groans and words like "inedible" and "disgusting."
"Nice, good thing I brought a lunch!" I say. I hear something like "SHARE PLEASE?!" come from Christina, Uriah, and Marlene's mouths, so I take out my lunch and display it. "Take whatever you want, just not this..." I allow, grabbing my muffin. That is off limits to anyone except me! Everybody takes something except Four, who brought an apple for himself.
Four.
Something about him intrigues me and infuriates me at the same time. He's so closed off to the world, and only really speaks when he's asked a question. And even then, it's short and vague. He intrigues me because he reminds me of myself when I moved all the time and shut people out since I moved so much. He frustrates me because I want to know his reason for detaching himself from people. It's obviously nothing like my reason. And then those eyes... something about those eyes makes me want to know even more. You can tell he's hiding something beneath those deep blue eyes. I don't know what, but it's definitely something.
I stop myself from thinking about Four and engage in a conversation about shooting a gun with Uriah, and eventually the rest of the table joins in. The bell rings all to soon and I head off to drama, which I have Christina, Uriah, and Marlene.
