CHAPTER: 28 1st DAY (TRIS POV)
AN: Hey Ravens! Thank you for the review! It meant so much to know what you think. On another note I hope you like it! :)
"Beep! Beep! Beep!" I shoot up in bed and slam my hand down on my alarm clock.
"Five more minutes." Christina says, groaning
"No way, you take like an hour to get ready so get up." I say, grabbing her wrist and pulling her out of bed. This of course causes both of us do fall down.
"Was that your plan?" Christina asks laughing
"Totally!" I say pulling her up with me
"Sure... I'm taking a shower. Oh here." She says handing me my outfit.
I quickly throw on the burgundy shirt, black skirt, leggings, and black boots. I top it off with natural layer of makeup and decide to leave my hair down.
"Ooo cute!" Christina tells me
"You too." I say, her outfit is a black skirt, red sweater, and knee-high boots. With a natural layer of makeup.
"Okay let's go!" Christina says grabbing her bag and walking out the door.
"Um Chris, your binder?" I say getting her stuff and mine
"Oh yeah... I meant to do that." She says waving me off. I roll my eyes and lock the door behind us.
"Hey, guys how's college life?" Shauna asks as we run into her and Marlene on the way to cafeteria.
"Barely starting." I tell her, opening the door
"No really Sherlock?" She asks sarcastically
"Well you asked." I say shrugging, as we all order a coffee from this Starbucks place.
"This is really good... But not as good as muffins." Marlene says, grabbing a muffin from one of the trays
"You and your muffins." I say, drinking my coffee
"It's a guilty pleasure." Marlene says, eating her muffin
"What's a guilty pleasure? Is it making fun of Uriah?" Lynn asks sitting down with us
"No it's muffins... But that too." Christina says, I laugh into my coffee cup because that is so true
"I have to go I'll see you later!" I say getting up and heading to class.
My first classes are the basics math, science, etc. Where I mostly just listen and take notes. I really just pay attention to my writing class.
"Okay class! My name is Mr. Fernando. I'm going to be your writing teacher. Rules for my class are if we're working it must be dead silent. Because this is writing not social studies. That's down the hall." Mr. Fernando tells us, as we all laugh at him.
"Thank you, thank you. Anyway I'm not that strict so when you do finish your work this class will be like a free period. I will also let you use your phones." He tells us, as we all stare at him in awe. This teacher is way to laid back... awesome!
"Anyway, today we will get started on making your first books! You will give me a summary of what your book is going to about. This will be your first grade and will show me what you already know." Mr. Fernando tells us, as he passes out the papers. I raise my hand
"Yes?" He asks going to the front
"Um, do you have any suggestions or pointers for this assignment?" I ask signing the top of my page
"Good question. I have taken the liberty of making a packet for all of you. That I strongly believe will help you in your work." He says passing those out too.
"Any other questions?" He asks no one raises their hand "Alright then, get started you'll do just fine." He says opening up a book.
I skim through the packet and try to take in as much information as possible. When I've went through the whole thing I start on my summary.
"In Beatrice Prior's dystopian Chicago, society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the cultivation of a particular virtue-Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful), and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day of every year, all sixteen-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. For Beatrice, the decision is between staying with her family and being who she really is-she can't have both. So she makes a choice that surprises everyone, including herself. During the highly competitive initiation that follows, Beatrice renames herself Tris and struggles to determine who her friends really are-and where, exactly, a romance with a sometimes fascinating, sometimes infuriating boy fits into the life she's chosen. But Tris also has a secret, one she's kept hidden from everyone because she's been warned it can mean death. And as she discovers a growing conflict that threatens to unravel her seemingly perfect society, she also learns that her secret might help her save those she loves . . . or it might destroy her."
I nod to myself and walk to the front turning in my paper barely realizing I'm the only person left.
"Thank you, you looked like you were working hard." Mr. Fernando says taking my paper.
"Yeah, it's a story I've been wanting to write for awhile now." I tell him packing up my stuff
"Well I'm sure it'll be very interesting, good job by the way." He says after he reads my paper "Any idea where your going with it?" He asks pointing at my paper
"Sort of the story is kind of about me but different. Like if things happened differently this is what I think would have happened." I tell him
"Hmmm. Thinking of making it a series?" He asks
"Oh, yeah probably. The first book will be Divergent, then Insurgent will be the second, and Allegiant the third. Then I'll probably do a mini series called Four." I tell him excitedly
"I love your enthusiasm. Well I promise I'll do everything in my power to get you there. You definitely have a natural talent." He says scoring my paper
"Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow." I say walking out
"Of course." He says as I shut the door closed. I quickly grab a quick snack from the cafeteria and head back to my dorm.
Soon enough I finish my HW. Which I have to say is extremely annoying! Like who even understands Algebra? It's numbers bunched together who uses that in life?
"Hey, what's up?" Christina asks, snapping out of my train of thought.
"Not much how was fashion class?" I ask, turning towards her in the spinning chair
"Oh my god! It was awesome! I learned these new techniques for making dresses and stuff. It was really fun. How was writing?" She asks me
"Good, we wrote a summary about whatever story we want to write. Oh and the teacher is really cool as long as your quiet. We can even use our phones! " I say getting up so Christina can use the table to study.
"Sounds great!" Christina says, getting started. I put in my headphones and work on my Percy Jackson fanfic. So I'm quite enough for Christina.
"Tris!" Christina yells in my ear, pulling my headphones out
"Ow!" I say holding my ear while pushing her away
"Finally! I've been trying to get your attention for like 5 minutes." Christina says, I give her a 'really?' face
"Five minutes, five seconds what's the difference?" She mumbles
"The difference is my ear is now ringing." I say
"Huh, wonder why... we should get going." Christina says, pushing me put the door.
"Where?" I ask curiously
"You'll see." Christina says mysteriously
"You know I hate surprises." I complain
"Yeah, I know that's why I'm not telling you." She says, I pout and cross my arms but let Christina take me to wherever we're going.
"The party has arrived!" Christina shouts at all of our friends.
"I still have no idea what's happening." I say
"Yeah neither do I." Tobias says putting his arm around my shoulder
"It's a first day of school party!" Zeke yells, blaring the speakers. I look around the room and see a couple of people I don't know.
"So tell me who's bright idea was this?" I ask Tobias referring to the party.
"Who else? The Pedrads of course." Tobias says getting us both something to drink.
"I can't do parties to save my life." I say, taking a sip
"Yeah neither can I. I would ask if you want to go but Zeke has the exit blocked, trust me." Tobias says, I start humming along to the song that came on.
"Oh kiss me out of the bearded barley,
Nightly , beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress"
"Wanna dance?" Tobias asks,
"Sweetheart I sing I don't do dance." I tell shaking my head no
"Sure you do come on." Tobias say grabbing my hand
"What? Like you do?" I ask him
"Probably better than you." He says, I punch his shoulder "I'm kidding but come on give it a shot." He says
"By myself yes in public no." I say
"Uggh fine just come here." Tobias says, I do and he picks me up a little so my feet are on top of his. As we start swaying to the song
"Oh, kiss me beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift you open hand
Strike up the band, and make the fireflies dance
Silvermoon's sparkling,
So kiss me
So kiss me
So kiss me"
"See wasn't that bad." Tobias says, kissing my cheek
"Yeah whatever." I say trying but failing to hide my smile. Tobias laughs at my attempt
"Tris come on we just made a bet and we need you!" Charlie yells at me, as I start running towards them
"Four, get your ass here now!" Zeke yells at him, Tobias comes looking bored
"What's the bet?" I ask
"They said we can't sing." Veronica says pointing at the guys
"And they said we can't dance." Jacob retorts pointing at us
"So we're putting on a little performance. Then whoever gets the least amount of applause has to do whatever the victor says." Alee tells me
"Your on." I say turning to the guys.
"Same here." Uriah says as we face our backs to each other
"What song are we doing?" Shauna asks
"Die young?" I suggest
"Ooo, I love that one!" Lynn says "I'm doing drums." She adds
"Guitar." Shauna says along with Veronica
"Back up singer." Marlene and Christina quickly say
"What? You can't leave me as lead singer!" I whisper yell
"Just did now let's go!" Christina says, pushing us up to the front as we set up. I nervously turn on the mic and start singing.
"Young hearts, out our minds
Running 'til we outta time
Wild child's lookin' good
Living hard just like we should
Don't care who's watching when we tearing it up (You Know)
That magic that we got nobody can touch (For sure)
Looking for some trouble tonight (yeah)
Take my hand, I'll show you the wild side
Like it's the last night of our lives (uh huh)
We'll keep dancing 'til we die
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
Let's make the most of the night like we're gonna die young
We're gonna die young
We're gonna die young"
I finish, throwing my hands in the air and yelling with the crowd.
"Beat that." I tell Tobias playfully walking off stage. The guys dance to I'm On Top of the World. They're pretty good but we're still better, according to the crowd.
"So what should be their punishment?" Shauna asks as they stare at us terrified.
"Act gay and let us record it." I say
"Ooo I like that one." Christina says pulling out her phone
"Who's side are you on?" Will asks
"The straight side." She says
"We're right here!" Lynn and Veronica shout, Christina shrugs and turns to the guys.
"Get on with it!" Marlene says as I set up my phone
"Might as well." Zeke says shrugging, he turns to Tobias licking his cheek
"No I can't, kill me if you want but I won't." Tobias says getting up
"Sit!" I order, Tobias of course obeys
"Stay away from me." He threatens Zeke
"And I thought gay people were nice." Uriah says "Dude come on act gay." Uriah says elbowing Will
"Fine you want my me to act gay? Fine how's this for gay?" Will asks standing up
"We go hard or we go home
We gon' do this all night long
We get freaky if you want
Bitch I'm Madonna
Bitch I'm Madonna
Bitch I'm Madonna"
Will sings while doing a really terrible dance
"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!" We chant
"I'm so gonna regret this." Alex says kissing Jacob on the lips. After they're both on floor fake puking
"That was perfect!" I say ending the recording.
"I don't like you in this moment of time." Tobias says, glaring at me
"I can live that. See you guys tomorrow." I say walking to the dorms with Christina. I take a shower and change. Getting into bed
"Night Tris." Christina says turning off the lights
"Night Christina." I say falling asleep.
