CHAPTER 2- FIRST DAY (PART 2)

TRIS POV:

The second we walk into our music class, Four's name is yelled, no literally shrieked. A small dark-skinned girl with short hair gets up and hugs him. "I barely say you all summer" she says, and shoots a glance at me. "I'm so sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Christina." I try to hold out my hand, but she pulls me into an embrace instead.

"Tris Prior." I say, catching my breath from that tight ass hug.

We take our seats at a table with a hazel-eyed boy next to Christina. "This is my boyfriend, Will. This is Tris." She introduces us and we shake hands. "Did you say Prior?" Will asks, and I nod, confused how my last name has any significance in this town. "Your father, Andrew, works with my father, and Four's father. He mentioned it earlier how his daughter would be attending here." Will explains.

Four tenses up visibly, and I wonder why he didn't mention that before in Chem. I drop the thought as our teacher walks in. "I am Ms. Marigold. Yes today is the first day." She states obviously. "But we will be doing work, nothing major, just a sheet about you and your music taste." Everyone groans besides me, not bothered by the idea of a simple worksheet. "Whats the issue? It's just a sheet." I ask our group.

"But they're annoyingggg" Christina says. I laugh at her tone of voice, she seems very annoyed. Once I get the sheet, I see there's only 3 simple questions which I can easily answer;

Favorite songs- do re mi by blackbear & Hash Pipe by Weezer

Favorite genre- Pop Punk

Favorite lyric- "Who knew you'd be hated for being who you are, and be a big target for all the insecure." - Beartooth.

"Done!" I say within a minute and I hand the sheet to the teacher, who looks pleased with my answers. The rest of the group finishes quickly and we start talking. "Tris, where did you live before?" Four asks.

"Staten Island, it's some small trashy but yet somehow nice place in New York City. My mom and dad both got better job opportunities, so here we are. Me and my older brother, Caleb both go here. Hes Erudite." I explain my small, boring story. "I don't have an exciting life.

"Any guys catch your eye?" Christina teases, winking at me. I think about my answer. I'll say yes just to see Four's reaction. "Yeah, one guy." I say smiling. I look at Four out of the corner of my eye, and he seems unfazed. Maybe he thinks I'm ugly, or stupid... "Show me your schedule" Christina demands and I pass her mine.

"We have Lunch, Geometry and Gym together!" She squeals, "That means you can meet our other friends Uriah, Shauna, Lynn, Marlene and Zeke!" I smile, knowing it's the first day and I have a group of friends already. The bell rings and we go our separate ways which is to Global for me and Four.

-TIMESKIP TO LUNCH 6TH PERIOD-

TRIS POV:

I find Four's friends in lunch, and sit with them. Four sits on my left side, some dark-skinned boy on my right. "Let me introduce you guys to Tris. Thats Uriah, Zeke, Lynn, Marlene and Shauna" Four points everyone out to Me, and I nod, but I'm not sure I know who's who.. "Nice to meet you guys."I say with a small smile. Everyone smiles back.

"I'll get you lunch Tris." Four offers, "Thank you." I say as he gets up.

"TRIS! You meant Four earlier when you were talking about a "cute guy", right" Christina asks, excitement in her voice. I blush, but I try to hide it. "You SOOoooo WERE!" She squeals. He's GOT to like you! He's never had a girlfriend. You can be his first!"

"Why would he like me, I look like a 12 year old boy with a wig." I say truthfully and the girl I think is Marlene gasps. "YOU DO NOTTT!" She gushes. "I wish I looked like you!" I blush some more, having never received compliments like this. "Come to my party tomorrow night, It's Friday and we're all gonna be there! I'll give you my address" Marlene adds. Before I can even object, she writes her address and a time on some looseleaf paper.

Four returns with what looks like a luxury meal. There's chocolate cake, roasted potatoes and grilled chicken. "This is like a luxury meal, wow!" I exclaim in awe. Just as I'm about to pop a potato in my mouth, I hear a whistle and a shout, "Damnnn that new girl is HOT!" I look behind me to see two tall boys, one with black hair and one blonde. They laugh as they walk by our table. "Who are they?" I ask, clearly annoyed.

"Eric is the blonde, Peter is the dark-haired one. They're no good, avoid them at all costs." Four says. "And let me know if they mess with you, ever." Four says again, this time with anger in his voice.

"I've never been cat-called before..." I say, confused as to why they'd think I'm pretty. "HOW? You're gorgeous!" Shauna says, and the girls all "Mhm" in agreement.

The rest of our lunch is mostly spent in silence, everyone shoving their faces with food, and I lick my whole plate clean, "Wait! Everyone give me your numbers!" I pass around a paper and everyone writes their cell numbers on it. "We can make a group chat?" I suggest

"We'll add you to ours" Four says and in less then a minute I'm in their chat. So far, today has been a successful first day at Dauntless..
