*hi! Don't forget to leave comments, votes, and suggestions! Anyway...back to the story!

Tris POV

I woke up and felt someone shaking me, so by instinct I slapped the person. "OW!" I look up and see Caleb cupping his face where I slapped him. Oops. I can't help but laugh. "Sorry." I say clearly not meaning it. "Tell that to my bleeding face!" He says dramatically. I roll my eyes. "It's not bleeding Caleb." "Well you still hurt my beautiful face!" He says. "Oh please. Your no Ansel Elgort." He just scowls and stomps out of the room.

I look over at the clock. 30 minutes till class. Ugh. I get up and put on a baby blue top, the same shade of blue pants, my black converse, and a necklace with a heart on it. Then I go bush my hair, I decided to leave it down, and brush my teeth. (etc.) when I'm finished with that I apply eyeliner, mascara, and a bit of foundation.

I am finally ready so I go downstairs and stuff a muffin in my mouth. Then Caleb comes screaming down the stairs, "Where's my lipgloss!" When he sees me. "Are you mocking me?" I ask, my tone dangerous. "No. I'm mocking your friend...." He looks at my phone. Wait MY phone?! What?! "Christina." He finishes. "What are you doing with my phone?!" He looks offended. "I saw this on your nightstand and I knew you'd forget it so I brought it down here." He says innocently. "I saw a text Christina sent and it says, "Where's my lipgloss!" I roll my eyes. "Okay. Just give me my phone."

After I get my phone I hear my dad come downstairs and say, "You guys ready?" We nod and pile into the car.

When we are in the building I see Peter. Oh no. So I speed up toward my locker. I quickly grab my books and go to my first class even though I'm ten minutes early. I sit down and draw until the bell rings. "Hey." I hear and I jump. "Relax. It's just me." Four says and sits down next to me. I put my drawing underneath my books. I don't want people to know my talents. "So. Why weren't you at your locker today? I thought we were going to meet?" He asks. I mentally slap myself. "I'm sorry. I was trying to get away from Peter and I forgot." I say. "It fine." He says. Then his face becomes concerned. "He didn't hurt you. Did he?" He asks. I shake my head. "No." "Good." He says. "How's your back?" I ask. He smiles. "A lot better. Almost good as new." I smile too. "Good." Then the bell rings.

I'm not gonna bore you with all the details of World War Two. I'm sure you've heard it before. The teacher hands us 10 pages with lines on it. It wasn't notebook paper. It was like typed lines going down the page. "Alright. For the remainder of class I want you to work on your homework. You have to write an essay on World War Two. Now, you don't have to use all the papers but it better be at least be one page. Go." She says.

I immediately start and let my pencil go where it chooses. Just about everyone in the class wrote one page so they didn't have to work as much. But I used all ten pages. And I finished before class was over. Everyone else was already finished but I didn't care. I like to write. Soon the bell rings and we all pour into the hallways.

The classes up until lunch was its regular boring. Nothing eventful happened. When the bell rang for lunch I was grateful. The day seems to be going by so slow. I sit with the gang but a few more people were here. Christina introduced me though. There was Will, Shauna, Marlene, and Lynn. I stayed silent unless I was asked a question. I'm really shy, if you haven't noticed. I was eating lunch, just thinking, when Four snaps me back on Earth. His voice just does that. "Tris, is everything okay?" He asks. I nod and continue eating. I hear my phone go off. I pick it up. A text from Christina. Somehow she got my number.
C- Are u sure ur okay?
T-Yeah. Just tired. How'd u get my number?
C-I have my ways.
T-stalk much?
C-maybe
T-😳
That ended our conversation. I get up and put my plate away and then the bell rings. Oh great. Science. Peter. HELP! I walk to science, dreading every step. I silently walk in and sit down. Peter comes up next me. "Hey stiff. You remember your brain today?" I don't answer. "What cat got your tongue?" Still no answer. I am saved when the bell rings. The teacher walks in. "Okay class. We are going to continue with Tidal Waves." Then he goes on and on about it. Ugh. It's SO boring. Then right at the end of class he looks me. "I hope you were taking notes, Beatrice." Oh no. He did NOT just use my real name. I feel my face get warm. "Beatrice?" Peter says laughing. I just swallow and I hear the class bust out into laughter. Then the bell rings.

When I walk into math, I go sit next to Four. I am still embarrassed about what just went down and I am still holding back tears. "Tris? Are you okay?" He asks for the second time today. I nod and get my homework out. At least he wasn't in science with me. But Christina was, and so was just about all my other friends except Zeke and Four. But Peter was also there. I'm sure he's going to let that get out. The bell rings and class starts. That class was uneventful but then the bell rings for gym.

I'm normally excited to go to gym but Peter is in that class. I reluctantly get up and Four and I walk into class hand in hand. After everyone is changed, class begins. "Alright class. We will be doing pull ups today so ahead and stretch and all that because we will start soon." I go over and stretch and when I'm almost done, Peter comes up behind me and I don't see him. Then I hear him whisper, "Hey Beatrice, I didn't know you were dating Four." I don't answer and then I feel him push my shoulders down with force, making me get into my perfect split I can do. "Tris, I didn't know you were flexible." Christina says. "Um." I say and pull myself up. "Yeah. I do gymnastics." I say quickly and walk away.

"Alright. Line up!" We do and he explains how there is a boy and girl record and how this is a grade. The guys go first and Four gets the highest, breaking the guys record also. "Alright! Girls next." I go last and while most girls got ten, I got 84. After 76 Peter came up and 'accidentally' bumped into my legs, forcing my chin to hit the bar with full force. I felt it instantly bruise but I kept going because my feet didn't hit the ground when that happened but, I gave up at 84 because my chin kept hitting the bar, and it hurt. I broke the girls record by 52.

When gym was over, I went back to my science class, so that he would change my name on the roll to Tris. By the time I got to my locker to pack up, there were only a couple students here. Most were either in the carline or in the cafeteria waiting for there bus. I called my dad and told him I'd probably be about 5 minutes late to the carline because I needed to talk to a teacher. He said fine.

So I got my stuff at my locker and when I turned around, I saw Peter three inches from my face. I froze. Then I saw him quickly raise a fist and the the next thing I know, I'm on the floor in pain. My eye. He punched my eye. My vision was blurry and I saw dots everywhere. Then I feel a foot make contact with my face. I scream in pain. Then I feel another kick that hits me in the ribs. I force myself to stand up. And I brought my fist toward his own face but he grabbed it, twisted my arm, then kneed me in the face. That's when he comes. Caleb. He runs into Peter, slamming him into the lockers and pushes him inside a closet and locks it. He runs toward me. I feel blood on my face and he helps me stand, with all my weight leaning on him. He walks me to the carline and puts me in Dad's car. "What happened?" Asks my Dad. Then I black out.
