Disclaimer: Of course I am Veronica Roth. I am in fanfiction writing a fan history of my own book instead of writing Allegiant and checking up on the Divergent movie.
I know the high school thing is overused. And by overused I mean REALLY overused. But I had so many ideas I had to write my own. This will be my first Divergent fanfiction \o/
Chapter 1
New school, new home.
"Beatrice!" My mom says, entering my room. "What are you still doing in bed?"
She approached the window, and opens the blinds.
"Mhhh." I yawn. I sit in my bed and look at my mother. She has her hair loose, which is something I don't usually see in her.
"Honey, get up and get yourself dressed." She kisses my forehead. "The breakfast is ready, and your father is carrying the rest of your bags to the car."
"Mother, I don't want to go." I sigh.
"I don't want you both to go either, but you have to."
"Why can't I be homeschooled like Susan and her brother?" I ask her.
Susan is my neighbor, and Caleb, my older brother, as a huge crush on her. They don't date, but they have made out a couple of times. We are not allowed to date, because my father is overprotective and says we are too young.
"Sweetie, you know I love you. But it's better for you, to have a proper education. That is something me and your father can't offer like that." She smiles warmly at me before leaving my room.
Today is the day I've been dreading since the beginning of the summer.
Since I live in a very small town, the local high school closed due to the lack of students. And now, me and my brother have to go to boarding school, almost across the state. We are both juniors, but he is eleven months older than me. He is 17, and I'm 16.
I get up, make my bed and open the dresser. I showered the night before. I pick out a light grey shirt, that hangs off one of my shoulders and black high-waisted skinny jeans.
I put my combat boots on and I head to the kitchen to see Caleb sat on his chair.
"So," I start, sitting on mine, and grabbing a toast. "excited?"
He raises his eyes from his mug of milk to my eyes, and nods his head no.
"You?" he asks, taking a sip from the milk.
I also nod my head no.
"Everything is going to be okay. Just be yourselves, I am sure everyone will love you." My mom says, trying to make everything better. "I'll go see if you father needs help with the luggage." she smiles, and leave.
Caleb moves his head to see if our mom already left the house, and when he hears the front door shut he turns to me.
"What am I going to do without Susan?" he buries his head in his hands. "I haven't said a proper goodbye. She'll never forgive me."
"Weren't you with her all afternoon yesterday?" I ask, raising an eyebrow.
"Well yeah, but we weren't quite talking, ya know..."
"Oh." Is all I can say before my parents could enter the house again.
"We are leaving in ten." My father says, looking at us.
I shove the rest of the toast in my mouth and get up.
"Beatrice, don't get up unless you finished your food." He says.
I sit again and roll my eyes, making sure he doesn't sees. When I finally swallow the rest of the toast, I take a huge sip of the rest of the milk in my mug. I get up, shove the plate and the mug in the sink and run to the bathroom.
I grab my toothbrush and brush my teeth. Then, I take my comb and brush my hair. I look myself in the mirror for a couple of seconds, before leaving the bathroom.
"CALEB! GET BACK HERE." I hear my father screaming.
I rush to the nearest window to see what is going on and I see Caleb in front of Susan's house. She opens the door and he hugs her tightly. He takes a few steps and he is inside of her house, and I can't see no more. But I guess they kissed. After maybe 15 seconds, he gets out and gives her a last hug.
.xx.
In the car, after my father rambled a lot about what Caleb did earlier, Caleb mouthed to me "totally worth it", and we both smiled. An hour later, we arrived at the school.
My jaw dropped when I saw the school. It was huge. It had a big building with maybe 5 or 6 floors shaped like an wide V in the right corner. It had an equally huge square building near the gate, lots of trees and lots of other smaller, but still huge buildings.
My father said to us, to go find out where our rooms were, so that they could drop off our luggage there.
When Caleb and I entered the main gate my jaw dropped even more. It was beautiful. Did I say the school was huge? We climbed up some stairs and entered the main building.
"I don't know about you, Tris, but I'm kind of shitting myself here." Caleb said.
"Same. I am going to loose myself in here."
"Are you two new in the school?" A kind woman, who worked at the school asked us. "You look lost" she smiled.
"Yes, we are." Caleb said politely. "We are trying to find out wher-"
"This way. Follow me" the woman said, not letting Caleb finish his sentence.
"Max," the lady called "You have two new students in here."
We approached a counter and the man who was called Max asked us if we had already answered the questionnaire, and we said no.
"Oh, just fill in those then, please" he smiled and gave us one thing that looked like a tablet. "One at the time"
When Caleb finished his, he passed me the tablet-look-alike.
I quickly scanned through it and it had 5 hypothetical questions. I answered those quickly and handed the tablet back to Max, and he asked us our names.
"I am Beatrice Prior, and this is my brother, Caleb Prior." I said.
"Beatrice," he turned his head to me "You'll be staying in the 5th floor, room 564B. You have a roommate called Christina. Caleb," he turned his head to my brother "You'll be staying in the 4th floor, room 482A. You don't have a roommate yet. But by the end of the day, you'll have one. The dorms are in the V shaped building. You take a left on this door," he pointed to a door "and you'll see it." He smiled politely as he handed us our schedules, locker combinations and a school map.
We got back to the car and my dad helped Caleb carrying his stuff and my mom helped me.
When we got to the building, it seemed even bigger than it already was.
As we were waiting for the elevator to arrive, my eyes stopped at a white board with black letters.
First Floor: Amity
Second Floor: Abnegation
Third Floor: Candor
Fourth Floor: Erudite
Fifth Floor: Dauntless
Sixth Floor: Roof. Not allowed to students.
Dauntless floor. I am in the Dauntless floor. What a cool name. Dauntless.
