Chapter 2:
I walking to school and there are very few people out in the hallway. After a few minutes of searching, I find the front office. When I walk in I see Tori. She is actually my manager in the music business but she works part-time in the front office in case I need her. She's also like my second mom, since my mother is not home half the time. I say, "Hey Tori!"
Tori looks up a little startled but then realizes that it is me. She says, "Hey pretty girl. You ready for your first day school?"
I respond, "Yes and no. I'm excited to hopefully meet some new friends but I hope that they just like me for me and not just like me due to my parents. Also do you think anyone's going to recognize me?"
She thinks for a minute but says, "I don't think anyone will recognize you but in your music class you need to be careful and change your voice so no one will recognize you. Also make friends with people before they know who you are. That way you will know if they are really your friends."
"Thanks Tori," I say while hugging her.
"No problem. Here is your schedule locker number and locker combination." She tells me while handing me a few pieces of paper. I look over my schedule noticing that I'm in all advanced classes except for music and French. That doesn't make sense.
I ask Tori, "Tori, why am I in French 2? You know I can speak fluent French due to traveling so much."
"Well you didn't want to take Spanish since you can speak that fluently also so I put you in French 2 so you will be with the rest of your grade. And just so you know I'm going to be teaching music for the juniors this year and I wanted you in my class."
I'm so glad she's teaching my music class! "Really?! I'm so glad I get to have you as a teacher," I say hugging her again.
"Oh hey Christina!" She says as a really pretty girl walks into the office.
"Tris this is Christina, she is going to show you around since you have all the same classes as her."
" Okay, thanks Tori, I'll see you later!" I say while walking out of the office with Christina.
When we get out of the door Christina says, "I've just got to say, I love your outfit!"
"Thanks, I said. She said, "What's your locker number?"
"306," I said while looking at the paper Tori gave me.
"Oh my gosh that's right next to mine! I can already tell that we are going to be good friends!" Christina squeals. "So Tris where are you from?"
I replied, "I just moved here from New York City."
She got really excited and said, "That's so cool. I've always wanted to go to New York City. I've been to New York but not New York City. Why did you move?"
I don't really want to tell her because I will have to tell her what my parent's jobs are. But I think I can trust her because she seems really nice.
"I actually moved because of my parents jobs," I say while dodging a few people in the hall ways
"That's cool. What are your parents to?" She asks curiously.
"Well my dad works high up in the government and I'm sure you've heard of my mom, Natalie Prior." I say hoping she won't freak out.
She whisper squeals since she knows I don't want everyone to know, "Oh my gosh! You know you do look like her. That's awesome! Don't worry I won't tell anyone."
"Thanks," I said gratefully. We finally get to our lockers and I pull out stuff for my next class. Christina leads me to first period, which happens to be French. When we get in there, Christina leads me to a group of people in the corner of the classroom and says, "Hey guys, this is Tris. Tris this is Uriah, Marlene, Shauna; and my boyfriend, Will." She says pointing to different people.
"Hey," I said. I was about to ask Christina something but the bell rang. We take our seats and the teacher introduces herself as Mrs. Shell. I started to zone out until Mrs. Shell said, "Alright class we are going to go around the room and I want you to introduce yourself in French. Do the best you that you can." She went around the room and it took forever because everyone new very little French.
Finally she got to me and I stood up and said, "Salut mon nom est Tris. Je ai récemment déménagé ici de New York à cause de mes parents emplois. Je peux parler couramment le français parce que je voyage souvent. Je aime dessiner et chanter." Everyone looked at me with shocked and confused faces.
Christina tapped me and whispered, "What did you say?"
I responded, "Hi my name is Tris. I recently moved here from New York City because of my parents jobs. I can speak French fluently because I travel often. I love to draw and sing."
She said, "Ohhhh."
Then Mrs. Shell said, "Wow Tris, that was very impressive."
I blushed and quietly thanked her, I hate being the center of attention.
She continued to go around the room and she can to the last person, who I never saw come in. When she called on him I learned his name was Four. He was so handsome and his eyes were the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen before. That may sound cheesy but seriously they are light blue at the center and they fade out to a dark blue that is so dark, it is almost black. I realize that I've been staring too long because he meets eye contact with me. I quickly look down and blush. It doesn't really matter anyways, he would never like me. He probably has a girlfriend and he would never go for someone like me. I'm pretty but there are so many other girls that are prettier than me. Like Christina for example. She's tall and I'm short. She's got darker caramel skin and black hair. She's beautiful.
Finally class ends. The day goes by really slowly until we get to lunch. Christina and I got to lunch a little late because we stayed behind the last class talking. As soon as we walk into the cafeteria, the talking quiet. I look around and see practically all eyes on me. I turn to Christina and ask, "Why is everyone staring?"
She looks at me with a humorous look and says, "Seriously? They're all looking at you because you're so beautiful. If you look at the girls faces the glaring at you and if you look at the boys faces they're making dreamy eyes."
As soon as she said that I blushed. Red as a tomato. Christina grabs my arm and pulls me to a table. As soon as we sit down, the talking goes back to normal volume.
Christina breaks the awkwardness and says, "So Tris you've already met Uriah, Marlene, Will, and Shauna.
This is Lynn, Zeke, and Four. Guys this is Tris."
The guy she called Zeke who looks a lot like Uriah says, "Well as you probably noticed I'm unfortunately related to Uriah. We're twins however I'm definitely sexier, cooler, funnier, you name it. I'm better than him at everything."
Everyone laughs and Uriah makes a pouty face and says, "Hurtful!"
Lunch continues like this with the Pedrad brothers making jokes and and people talking about what they did over the summer. I really like these guys. I hope that they'll still want to be my friend even if they find him my parents are. I zoned out until something Zeke said pulled me back to reality, " Did you guys see that awesome car this morning?"
Then Four said, "The matte black Hennessey Venom GT? Yeah that car was sick. It's one of the most expensive cars in the world."
" I wonder who's it is? Did you guys see it? Who's ever it is must be loaded." Uriah asked the others who hadn't said anything. Everyone else said yes but I still hadn't said anything.
"Tris did you see the car?" Zeke said
I didn't know how to respond really so I said, "Actually I did. I drove it here this morning." As soon as I said that everyone went silent and stared at me wide-eyed. I blushed and said, "Guys, it's just a car."
Uriah and Zeke came to their senses and said at the same time, "Can you let me drive it!?"
Before I could say anything Marlene spoke up and said, "Are you to knuckleheads crazy? You guys couldn't even get out of the parking lot without wrecking it." After that comment everyone laughed and carried on with a normal talking at lunch.
After lunch I just had two more periods. Music and Gym. I'm really excited for both because since Tori is the music teacher she's probably going to call me to sing and at my old school, I was the fastest runner out of everybody. I was also on the cheerleading squad at my old school but I purposely did bad at tryouts so I wouldn't be the head cheerleader.
When we get into music class Tori tells us to have a seat. She said that today she is going to have an open mic so anyone who wants to perform can. No one volunteers so Tori's eyes scan the room and land on me.
" Tris why don't you sing something for us."
I walk up on stage and tell Tori that I'm going to sing my original song Titanium. I wrote this song to show that Peter and Eric can't mess with me anymore and what they did to me no longer bothers me. When I'm done singing it's silent. I got really nervous thinking that I did bad I didn't ask my voice well enough. But I was wrong everyone stood up and clapped and shouted. I look at Tori and she just winks. While blushing, I walk back to my seat. After minute when the applause has died down, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and came face-to-face with Four.
"You were amazing," he said while blushing.
I replied, "Thanks," and blushed some more. Then I think to myself, why would Four blush while talking to me? He would never like me.
Class continued with people singing and showing their musical abilities. Soon the bell rings and Christina grass my arm and pulled me towards the gym. As soon as we get there, we change into workout clothes. I put on black, green, and pink tribal printed sport shorts and fitted black shirt.
The shorts are a little too short for my liking but hopefully not many guys will staring at my butt. Christina is still getting ready so I walk out by myself. I go talk to Coach Amar. He is good friends with Tori and he's also my personal trainer outside of school.
"Hey Coach!" I say.
"Oh hey kid. Are you liking your new school?" He asked me.
"Yeah it's awesome! What are we doing today? I question.
"We are going to see who can run the mile the fastest." He said with a wink and walked away.
I turn around to go talk to Christina and notice Four staring at me. I pretend like I didn't notice and Christina calls me over to her.
"Hey," I say
"Hey. Do you notice Four checking you out? He totally has a crush on you." She squeals.
"No he doesn't Christina, why would he be interested in me?"
"Seriously? You're awesome and you're really pretty. He would be dumb if he wasn't into you."
I was about to respond when Coach Amar yelled at us to line up.
"Today you will be running the mile so we can see who is the fastest. I usually break you up into girls and boys but I want you to run together today." When he said that he winked at me.
As soon as he said go I was off. I have a lot of endurance so a mile is nothing. I imagine myself running alone in the woods and I block everyone else out. I'm almost to the finish line. But I see feel someone getting auntie. I don't look back though because that would just cost me time. I'm still in the lead like I've been for the whole race and I keep running and running until finally I cross the finish line. When I do someone finishes right behind me when I turn around I see Four.
"Good job. No one has ever beaten me before," he says.
"Thanks," I respond and blush.
Once everyone has finished Amar congratulates me and tells everyone I had the fastest mile time in the school's history with a time of 4:16.
I head to the locker room with Christina and change out of our sweaty clothes. When I exit the locker room I head out to my car and see Four standing next to it.
I hesitantly say, "hey Four," while blushing.
He smirks and says, "Hey, I just wanted to say good job again on your mile and invite you to a party Zeke that throwing this weekend. It's Saturday night and I thought if you wanted I could pick you up."
I blush major and say," Thanks and Ya that sounds cool. If you give me your number I will send you my address."
He smiles and we exchange numbers.
I wave and hop in my car, driving home thinking of the blue eyed boy.
