I do not own divergent, just my ideas.

Chapter 4

Tris POV

"Welcome to Dauntless", the lady at the front desk greets me.

"Tris Prior," I state and she starts typing on her computer.

"Here we go!" she chirps handing me my schedule, locker information, and school map.

I walked out of the office examining my schedule then the map. Peter walks up from behind me and snatches the map from me crumpling it up and trashing it as he is walking away.

"Another day, another douchbag, huh?" a voice from behind me says. I turn to see a really pretty girl with bronze skin and dark brown hair addressing me.

I give her a small smile, "I guess so."

"I'm Christina and you must be new," she says.

"Hi, Tris," I reply.

"I am happy to serve as your personal map" she smiles genuinely.

"Thanks" I smile back, relief washing over me.

"Where are you headed?"

"World History, Ms. Willoughby"

"Me too!" Christina squeaks.

We start heading through the hallways, I am never going to remember the route. Finally, we stop in front of a classroom and head inside.

"Christina!" someone shouts.

She tugs my arm and heads to the desks in the back corner where a group of people is sitting.

"This is Tris," she announces me excitedly, like I am her show and tell project that she is super proud of.

I nod my head at them.

"Will"

"Uriah"

"Marlene"

"Al"

The group introduces themselves to me.

"Where are you from," the boy who introduced himself as Uriah asks.

"Springfield," I reply.

"How did you end up here," the boy who introduced himself as Will asks scrunching his brow.

"I moved," I answered shortly.

Its not that I embarrassed of my situation, I just don't want the look of pity I inevitably receive every time someone learns about the events of the past year and my current foster care position. Will is about to pose another question when Peter, Molly, and Drew enter the classroom. I take a deep breath.

"Made it after all?" Peter jibes as he walks past me.

I roll my eyes ignoring him.

"And here I was thinking we were the first friends you made," says Uriah with a laugh.

I give him a smile.

The day passes and Christina walks me to and picks me up from every class. After fourth period, apparently it is lunch. She drags me into the cafeteria and we walk over to her table. I remember Uriah, Will, Marlene and Al from earlier, but I am soon introduced to a few more people.

"Tris, this is Zeke, Shauna, Lauren, Lynn and Four," she indicated to the foreign people at the table.

They all gave me a smile and went back to their conversation, well all except for Four. Seriously strange name that kid has.

I pull out the apple I had grabbed from home and took a bite. The group has an interesting dynamic. It turns out Zeke is Uriah's older brother and Shauna was Lynn's older sister; despite the varying ages they all got on incredibly well it seemed. Well all except for Four, who, while not outwardly rude, seemed icy. He had gorgeous deep blue eyes and was incredibly handsome, however he did not come off like other good-looking guys generally do. There was no flirtatious smile or desire to see if he could get a girl to fall in love with him. He appeared quiet and reserved. Why do I care, I think to myself following my extensive inner monologue of thoughts on this kid.

The bell rings and as I gather my things, pulling my bag onto my shoulder, Four gives me the strangest look.

Four POV

As the new girl, Tris, pulls her bag over her shoulder, her loose shirt is pulled up exposing her upper arm. I notice a massive bruise. Good god, that looks painful, I think to myself. I look up at her face and try to figure out who this girl is.

Tris yanks her sleeve down and follows Christina out of the cafeteria.

"Are we finally interested in someone," Zeke asks snapping me out of my trance.

"What are you talking about?" I snap.

He laughs and drops the subject. I am not interested in Tris; I don't even know her. I mean, I guess I was a little interested in knowing how she got a bruise that size but that's normal right? We walk to the gym locker room and start changing. Eric and his crony, Peter, are inside the locker room as Zeke and I walk in. I am not a fan of Eric; he is sadistic, preying on the weak and innocent to get his kicks. Reminds me of someone else I am not fond of. Eric doesn't like me either. I am starting quarterback and he has to play back-up to me or running back if he wants any game time. I hurry up and change and make my way to the gym.

I spot Zeke sitting with Uriah, Tris and Christina on the bleachers and make my way over to the group. The new girl is pretty I have to admit to myself. She has long blond wavy hair and an attractively petite figure.

"To the field, check the board on the wall to see which team you are on as you go. Team A pick up a red penny, Team B grab a blue penny," Coach bellows.

There is a crowd around the board and I spot my name on the list for Team B, as I am about to make my way over to the pile of blue pennies, I see Tris's name a few below mine. I grab her a penny and toss it to her as she continues to strain to see over everyone. She gives me a grateful smile.

On the field I am selected goalie, which is fitting as I am fairly tall and have good hands. The game starts and I see a blond ponytail blazing down the right side. Tris dribbles the ball using smart but not showy footwork. She effortlessly sends the ball soaring to the left side of the field to a wide-open Uriah who takes the ball the remainder of the distance down the field. Seeing the box in front of the goal with a few blue pennies, Uriah flicks the ball and a second later a blond head collides with the ball sending it past Eric in the opposite goal.

"Well that was impressive," I mutter to myself.

The game continues for another 10 minutes and though the other team was smart enough to have Peter mark Tris for the remainder of the game, she was still making a number of plays. We were up 2-0 after Tris laid out a nice pass for another blue penny to drill into the net, Eric shot daggers at Peter afterwards. The coach blew the whistle announcing the 2 minute warning. Our team was attempting a corner kick on their end of the field. As the ball came in I saw Tris on the near side post, the ball was coming towards her when all of the sudden Eric elbow collides with her head which then ricochets off the goal post. Tris crumples to the ground.
