Tris POV
Monday. First day of school. Great.
The end of summer is hard on everyone, but when you're a 16 year old girl in high school that also works, the end of summer has a particular bitter taste.
I get up from my bed and make my way to the shower. I don't take long getting ready, throw some leggins, a tank top and a demin jacket and i'm ready to go. I look at my phone only to find a text from Christina, my best friend
Chris: Heey Tris, 1st day of school and we hv some big news this year. Need a ride?
Tris: Hey Chris, big news huh? Yeah, could use a ride
Chris: Okay, be there in 10
I smile at my phone, Christina and I have always been good friends since pre school. We have a pretty tight group of friends, so it's not so bad going back to school.
I go down stairs to eat breakfast, only to find my brother Caleb. He's what we, in our highschool, like to cal an Erudite. In our school we define people by their best qualities: Erudite, Dauntless, Candor, Amity and Abnegation. Erudite are the smart ones, those who only take AP classes, I take a few but not as many as Caleb. Candors are the goody godies, those who only speak the truth, Amity are the ones who live by the "laws of love", those who are nice to anyone and everyone and don't cause any problems, and Abnegation are the selfless ones, those who put other people's needs before their own. Finally, we have Dauntless, that's how others see me and my friends, the brave ones, those who don't fear anything or anyone.
As I enter in the kitchen I make myself a bowl of cereals and sit next to Caleb.
"Good morning Caleb"
"Morning Tris, excited for the first day of school?"
I laugh "I'm not like you Caleb, I don't get excited for school"
"I know you don't, but I thought that you'd be excited for the news"
I look at him with a questioning look, I really don't get where he is going with this.
"Oh, you don't know?" He asks "That guy Four or what's his name, that superstar all you girls love, is coming here to study, in our school"
I look at him shocked. Why would a guy like that, come to our town to study noneless. I mean, he could go to any part of the world, why here?
"Why is he coming here?" I frown
"I don't know, but the word is that he got into some trouble in LA, something about trying to assault a paparazzi and his manager sent him here, to lay low for a while. Apparently he grew up here"
I look at Caleb with a questioning and amused look at the same time, how does he know so much about this?
"What?!" He asks in a high pitched note "It was all over the news!"
I laugh at him "Yeah well, it was expected that he would end up like this for a while, either here trying to get himself straight or in jail due to that temper of his" I scowl
"What's the matter Trissy" Caleb mocks "I thought all of you girls are in love with this guy"
I finish eating my cereals, get up to put the bowl in the sink and say to Caleb
"Well Caleb, I'm not all girls. So no, I don't like him"
He is about to answer when a horn echoes throught the house, announcing Christina's arrival
"Christina is here, do you want a ride Caleb?"
"No thanks, I'm going to pick Susan up in a few" He answers with a grin
Of course, how could I forget his girlfriend Susan... I wave him goodbye and make my way out of the house into Christina's car. When I get in she hugs me and squeels
"Geez Christina, why are you so excited about school? I mean, it's school" I ask while trying to make her let go of me
"Oh Tris, you know why, Four is coming to our school!"
"Yeah, so I've heard. I don't get why you are all so in love with this guy, he's kind of an ass, and need I remind you, you have a boyfriend" I say reminding her of Will, her boyfriend of one year
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I can't look and drool! And i don't get why you don't like him" She adds
"I just think that he's another arrogant Hollywood star, with a bad-boy attitude, that thinks that everyone should worship the ground he walks on"
"Yeah, but a hot bad-boy"
I just laugh and we keep talking about random things until we arrive school. Once we're there we go to pick up our schedule and our locker combos. When I get my schedule I examine my classes
1st Period AP Biology
2nd Period Spanish
3rd Period PreCalculus
4th Period Gym
Lunch
5th Period AP Chemistry
6th Period Homeroom
It's not so bad, I chose to take to AP classes this year and the rest I have all regular. Christina grabs my schedule, putting it next to hers and compares it.
"Well, we have Spanish, Gym and Homeroom together and we have lunch at the same time. If you weren't so Divergent maybe we would have more classes together" She frowns
Divergent it's the term used to describe those who stand out a little from their group, like me for example, due to the fact that I take AP classes
I look over to Christina and taunt her "Well, it's not my fault you can't keep up with me"
She gives me a playfull shove and we make our way to our lockers, with her talking about Four all the time
"... and those gorgeous eyes! Maybe we could ask him to sit with us in our table at lunch and-" But I interrupt her
"Chris, I really don't care about some cocky actor and I definitely don't want him to sit at our table"
She frowns looking at me and she's about to say something when Will appears and grabs her from behind
"Hi babe" He says at her ear and then looks over at me to say hi "Good Morning Tris"
"Hey Will. Well it seems you are in good hand Chris so I'll see you in Spanish"
I wave the bye and head over to my AP biology class, and just as I'm looking to my schedule to see where that is I hit something, or more specifically someone, droping all of my books. I look up to see who it is only to find a boy that I don't recognize. He seems to be a little annoyed and gets down to pick up his books. It's only when I look at him that i recognize him. Four, the superstar that everyone can't seem to stop talking about
He notices my stare on him and says "What? Are you going to scream and hug me too?"
"Definitely not. I was going to apologize for running into you, but now I don't think you really deserve one" I say to him mad. Who the hell does he think he is?
I end up gathering my things and stand up only to see that he is already up looking at me with an owed look on his face
"What? Are you affraid I'm going to ask you to sign my boob?"
"I'm sorry for-" He starts, to say, but i cut him off
"Yeah well, next time don't be such an ass"
I leave him there and go to my class. I arrive 5 minutes earlier as usual and ,after a minute or two, people start arriving and after everyone is here i notice that I'm going to be alone at my table but I don't really mind. The class starts and five minutes into it we are interrupted
"I'm sorry, Mr Rodgers? I'm sorry I'm late. I am new here and got lost on my way to class"
I look up and see Four standing in the doorway. Just my luck, now I have him in my class too, great.
"Ah yes! Mr To-" the teacher starts but Four interrupts him
"Four sir, I go by Four"
"Yes, Mr Four, you can take your place next to Miss Prior"
It's not until then that I realize that the only free spot is right next to me. Ugh, seriously?!
He makes his way over to me and I notice all the jealous glances the other girs throw my way. What's wrong with them? It's not like I aked for it
He sits down and takes out his stuff and then turns to me and stands his hand
"Hi, I think we met earlier, I'm Four"
I look at him, then at his hand and then back to him
"Yeah, I know who you are, and I don't know if you can call that meeting someone"
He laughs "Aren't you gonna, at least, tell me your name?"
"Nope."
"Look, I'm sorry about the way I acted earlier but I'm-"
"Don't sweat it superstar" I interrupt
"Can I at least apologize?"
"Yes, apology accepted, now let me pay attention" I tell him off and he turns straight into his sit
The rest of the class goes by smoothly with me trying to ignore Four and his glances towards me, but I have to admit that I glance at him sometimes too.
When the class is finished I go to my next classes and the resto f the morning goes by fast. I don't tell Christina my interaction with Four though, or she wouldn't leave me alone the rest of the day.
We make our way together into the cafeteria after gym class and go the pick up our lunches. When I turn around to go to our usual table, to meet our friends, I see no other then Four, sitting there, laughing with my friends
