Disclaimer: I am only gonna say this once, so listen up: I DO NOT OWN DIVERGENT! *Takes a Bow* Now to the story!
Bellamy POV: Oh no!, I think desperately as the figure turns around and… squeals loudly. "Omigod, your phone case is so cute! Where did you get it?" I look down at my phone case, which is black with a silver dragon design. "Oh, thanks," I say, trying my hardest to not stutter. "
I got it online from Casetify." Oh, that's cool. I'm Christina by the way." she says smiling. I smile back at her and say "Nice to meet you, I'm Bellamy.
Christina frowns slightly and says "Isn't that a boy's name?" I internally sigh, saying "It's unisex." She nods in understanding and says "Oh, that makes sense.
Maybe I should give you a nickname. Not Bella, there's another junior named that. Ella, no, too short-oh I know! How about Amy?" I grin broadly while nodding. New name, new nickname I guess.
Suddenly Christina says "Hey, can I see your schedule?" Without waiting for an answer Christina grabs the top paper out of my hands and squeals again. "We have lockers right next to each other and all of the same classes except Math.
This is fate Amy, fate! We are destined to be best friends!" I smile brightly at her enthusiasm. Maybe we will be best friends, or at least friends.
Christina then gives me a quick lesson on all of the teachers. Or to be more precise, which teachers are the worst. Apparently, I should watch out for Ms. Matthews and Mr. Jackson.
Just as Christina was finishing up her seminar the bell rang. "Oh, we better get to class. I can introduce you to my friends later. Maybe at lunch or 1 at a time since some of them are in our classes." Oh, I guess she moved on from gossipping about the teachers. I guess I zoned out. Christina seems nice but damn that girl can talk.
As we walk to Homeroom, I notice that everyone greets her, giving her compliments that she returns. Strangely enough, lots of people smile at me. Christina is clearly popular, and I guess that her fame is spreading to me.
It makes sense why she is popular, though. She's pretty, with mocha skin, wavy jaw length dark brown hair, and dark brown eyes. Also, she clearly has an awesome fashion sense.
Suddenly, Christina's voice breaks me out of my daze. "And here we are! Sorry I couldn't talk to you much on the way here. My friends and I are pretty popular, so I guess you're going to be too!"
I smile at the thought of being popular and say "It's fine, I'm okay with a little silence." Christina laughs a little and says as she opens the door "You may be, but I'm not." When we walk into the classroom, it looks like most if not all of the students have already arrived, the teacher included.
Christina grabs my arm and drags me to 2 seats in the middle. A tall burly guy is next to me, and he smiles at me in greeting. "Hi, I'm Al, and you are?" "Oh, I'm Amy." I say quickly. Al's grin broadens and he opens his mouth to talk again but is cut off by the bell ringing.
The teacher gets up and locks the door, then turns around to us. "Alright, for those of you who don't know I'm Mr. Jackson. When I call your name, say "here." He then goes on to take attendance, starting with Molly Atwood. When William Albright is called next, I notice something very interesting.
Is it just my imagination, or does Christina sigh wistfully while looking at William as he calls out that he's here? I smirk slightly. I'm going to have to ask her about that later.
I don't pay much attention to the rest of the names except for a couple of them like Albert Campbell, the boy who greeted me, Marlene Edgecombe, Peter Hayes, Lindsay Jones, Myra Larson, Edward Ramsey, Christina, whose last name is apparently Miller, Drew Weston, and Uriah Pedrad. A/N: Anyone you recognize?
Mr. Jackson calls me last and says "Oh, the new girl, Bellamy. Do you want to go by any nicknames?" I clear my throat and say "Yeah, I'd like to be called Amy." Mr. Jackson nods and then turns to the rest of the class and says "Do whatever you want for the rest of the hour."
He then turns around and sits down at his desk, turning on his computer. Wow. Just wow. And I have to watch out for him? As the room fills with chatter Christina turns to me and starts talking about her friends, most of whom are the people whose names I noticed. Fate is real I guess.
All too soon the bell rings and people start to leave the class. As Christina and I get our stuff and walk out, Peter, Drew, Molly and Al walk by us. All of them except Al glare at us. Al gives us a sympathetic look but follows them.
Christina scowls then forces a smile on her face whispering to me "Smile and act nice." So I follow her lead, smiling brightly at the quartet. As soon as we are out of earshot, I hiss to Christina "What's up with them?"
Christina scowls and says "I hate them. Peter, Molly and Drew have been inseparable since they crawled out of the room. Plus, I think they're blackmailing Al to hang out with them. Their other friends are horrible too."
I nod and remark "That makes sense. I thought Al seemed okay. I wonder what they're using to blackmail him." Christina nods and starts talking about this new handbag she got, and how I should get one and how she and her friends will have to take me shopping soon.
The rest of the morning passes uneventfully until lunch period. After I get my meal which consists of a hamburger, fries with ketchup, a small salad, and a plastic bottle of water Christina drags me over to a table near the middle of the cafeteria with 7 other people occupying it. These must be her friends.
Christina plops down next to a girl with long wavy salted caramel hair and sea green eyes who greets me with a bright smile. She is the only one though, as the conversation died out when I sat down. "Christina, who's this?" a tall boy with a platinum blonde streak in his dark brown hair asks.
Christina smiles and says "Gang, this is Amy. Amy, this is the gang." I smile at everyone and wave. To my great relief they grin back at me. A guy who looks like a carbon copy of the first except a few inches taller and with a streak of ginger hair says "Well then Amy, why don't you tell us a bit about yourself. I'm Uriah, by the way, and the idiot who greeted you so warmly is my brother Zeke."
I barely notice what he says, as I am trying to calm down to introduce myself. I take a deep breath and say "Well, I moved here from Santa Barbara because of my dad's job, I have an older brother named Conner, a younger sister named Jasmine, and my birthday is March 24th."
A girl with amber eyes and shoulder length brown hair with side-swept bangs looks startled and says "March 24th? That's only a few days after Four's birthday. Name's Shauna, by the way." I raise my eyebrows. What kind of a name is Four? Shauna must notice my confusion since she says "It's a nickname he got when he ran the 100 meter dash in 4 seconds. A/N Probably not possible, but I don't know what else to put. His real name is Tobias Eaton, but Four hates it when we call him that. He's absent today, though, so you'll meet him tomorrow."
I grin and say "Tobias Eaton? I think my dad works for his dad. Small world, huh?" I get a few snickers from that and Uriah says "I like her. She'll be a good fit to the group, don't you think Lynn?" Lynn, the girl sitting next to him nods curtly, then returns to eating. With a start I realize that she is that girl Lindsay from Homeroom. Lynn must be a nickname, then.
She has pixie cut brown hair with honey brown highlights, golden brown eyes, plus an eyebrow and triple lobe piercings. She looks a lot like Shauna. They must be sisters.
Over the rest of the lunch period, I get to know everyone better. Zeke and Shauna are apparently dating. Will and Christina definitely like each other, although they are complete opposites with Christina being the queen of all extroverts and Will being a bookish introvert. Then again, opposites attract.
I spend the rest of my lunch period getting to know everyone, and everyone getting to know me. After lunch, the rest of the day goes by uneventfully. I get a reasonable amount of homework, and as soon as the bell rings I say goodbye to my new friends. Christina, Marlene, and Shauna convince me and Lynn to go shopping with them in a few days. You can tell that neither of us wants to, but we are outnumbered.
As I walk to my car, I notice Conner talking with a few seniors. One of them, a pretty girl with long blonde hair done in a high ponytail and crystal blue eyes, hugs him goodbye. Conner's face turns furiously red and I have to fight to keep my laughter quiet. He obviously has a crush on her.
I am noticing a lot of romance today, aren't I? As I take a closer look at the girl, she kinda looks like Will. He mentioned having a sister in 12th grade, so maybe that's her. Deciding to be annoying, I yell goodbye at him, waving as I get in my car. Their faces are priceless!
On my way home, I have to pick up Jasmine, which is annoying. On the bright side, Shauna had to pick up her younger brother Hector, and they both go to the same school. She and Lynn take turns picking him up, and it was her turn today. The afternoon is unremarkable.
I have a snack and do my homework, Dad comes home and apologizes for leaving early, we have dinner, and I go to sleep. The only interesting thing is my dream. I dream of dark blue seas, with grey-blue wisps among the water. When I wake up the next day, I remember nothing.

A/N: Wow, maybe Tris is having a premonition! XD I am so sorry for not updating in a while. I made the mistake of posting the first chapter right before I started the CAASPP tests. Or is it CAAT...I can never remember the name. After those were done, I had a huge project where I had to choose a country to write a report on. I chose the UK, because I love Harry Potter. Anyway, Four will be introduced in the next chapter. I'm thinking of doing his POV. Tell me in the review what you think. XOXO, Arabella
