CHAPTER 1: THE FIRST DAY (PART 1)

a/n: please review and tell me if you like this idea, then i'll continue!

Tris POV:

I'm was starting as a sophomore at a new school. Its a new type of school system, with different parts of the school called "Factions." Theres Amity- the peaceful and kind ones, Abnegation- the selfless ones, Candor- the honest ones, Erudite- the smart ones, and finally Dauntless- the brave ones. "Beatrice, Breakfast!" My father calls, snapping me out of my daydream. I quickly rush out of bed and down the stairs, ready to start the day.

"What we got?" I eagerly ask as I take a seat next to my brother, Caleb.

"Strawberries and oatmeal, its all we have so far. I'm going food shopping later." My dad reassures me. My mom places a firm kiss on my forehead. I take a bite of oatmeal. "How have you adjusted so far to the move from Staten Island to Chicago?" My dad asks.

"HORRIBLEEE!" I complain, rolling my eyes. "Here, there's no city buses, or trains. I can't even walk down the street to go to a deli!" My dad laughs, clearly thinking my suffering is funny.

"I wish we could've stayed, Beatrice. We had a better job opportunity here" My mom chimes in.

"You'll adjust, Beatrice." My brother says, "I already have, I'm excited about starting at Erudite." I rolled my eyes. "At least I won't see your smarty-pants ass all day cause this is a big school!" I retort, smiling. I finish my last bite and run upstairs before dad has a chance to yell at me for saying a 'bad word'.

I scour my closet for something nice to wear, something that'll make a good impression. I look at a pair of my favorite mom jeans and toss them behind me. I pick out a white tank top with my Nike Air Force 1's, throwing both those things behind me messily. I rush to put my jeans on, almost tripping over my own two feet. I brush my hair so that it's as straight as a needle, and completely un-knotted. School starts at 8:00, and it's 7:45 right now.

"CALEBBB! We're leaving in a minute." I yell down the stairs. I grab my bag and run down the stairs, eager to start my first day. Caleb, being the dork he is, is wearing trousers with a button-up top. I roll my eyes at him. "Come on loser, you're driving." I toss him his car keys as I rush out the door with Caleb in pursuit. "Bye dad, Bye mom!" We call back in unison. Caleb starts up the car and drives down our block. In about five minutes, we have made it to the school. My eyes widen. The school is 4 floors, and I swear it has to be a mile big.

We slam the cars doors and walk into the school. "Wheres the main office?" I kindly ask someone. "Take a right, and its the third door." The girl points down a hallway. I thank her and scurry off with Caleb.

Once we get there, we are greeted by a kind woman named Johanna. "Caleb, here's your schedule for Erudite. and.. Beatrice, you wanted to be Dauntless correct?" I nod as she passes me my schedule.

"Call me Tris." I say, new school which means a new start. "When you took our aptitude test what did you get?" I know my case is weird, getting three factions on the test, but I don't lie to her. "Abnegation, Dauntless and Erudite." She looks surprised, but tells me my choice was fine.

"Have a good first day!" She calls to us as we leave her office. "Bye Big Bro!" I slap Caleb's back as I scurry to my first class, Chemistry.

Tris POV:

All eyes are on me as I walk in- I'm late.

"Who are you?" A man in a lab coat looks me up and down, confused as to who I am. "Tris Prior." I respond confidentially. He looks up and down his sheet for a name. "Ah, you're new. Take a seat next to Four. Four, raise your hand." I look around the room and spot a big, built man with absolutely stunning eyes. I stare for a second before having the courage to sit down next to him.

I glace at him from the corner of my eye. He reminds me of one of those pretty boys from a magazine that always seem too perfect. They always have something wrong with them.

So whats wrong with Four?

"Four like the number?" I ask, genuinely curious. He smirks at me."Exactly like the number." He says, "I thought that was obvious."

I laugh at my own stupidity. What else would his name have been? We break into casual conversation. "You're new here?" He asks, and I nod in reply. "Where do you live?" He asks. A part of me is wary of giving a stranger the area I live in, but I don't care. "Downtown, at the corner of Baylack street and Merivale Lane." He looks kind of happy when I say that.

"Really, I live at that intersection too! We're neighbors." He says, I smile, happy myself about that.

"Maybe we can go to school together in the mornings." I suggest, trying to not come on too strong. He nods, agreeing with my idea. The bell rings about 5 minutes later, and we walk out together. "Show me your schedule." He says, and I hand him my schedule. "We have literally every class together, follow me." His strides become quicker and quicker as I struggle to keep up. "I'll introduce you to my friends." He shouts over the loud chatter in the hallway. "O.K!" I respond, at the brink of yelling.

3 minutes and a lot of shoving later, we end up in music class together...

A/N: Review and let me know if I should continue, I know this sucks but it was just a preview, next chapter will be better if I do one!
