Chapter 1.

TRIS POV.

The sun shines in my eyes, waking me from my sleep. I should really get some curtains! I think. I get dressed in my skinny jeans and a dark green blouse. After having a quick glance in the full length mirror on my wall, I go downstairs for breakfast.

"Hey honey.' My mom says as she flips the pancake she's cooking. "Hi mum" I reply quietly as I sit down next to my brother Caleb, who is as usual, reading a textbook.

"Don't you ever get tired of studying Caleb?" I ask. "Bea I have mid terms in a month! What else do you expect?" He replies irritably.

I envy him. My brother. Although I am completely normal around my family, I get awkward around anyone else if I try to talk to them. But my brother has the confidence of a politician. He is not famous at school but he has his fair share of friends or maybe my share too. And I don't really mind, I have Tobias.

"OH SHIT!" I gasp. I completely forgot to mail him.

I run up the stairs along with my plate of breakfast and grab my laptop from the bed. After typing "Fortris" in the search, I open his profile and click on the "mail" option.

Dear Tobias.
I am off to school. My only hope is that I don't make a fool out of myself one way or another. Finishing my essay was hard, I stayed up till 3 am! But I am done! I just hope Mr Eric likes it. He really doesn't like me for some reason. Good luck for your first day at the new school! Make friends. Ttyl!
- Tris.

Call us old fashioned or whatever, we only talk on mail and have never seen each other....even in pictures. We both have Facebook but we prefer mails on the blog site we use.

Tobias and I became friends 2 years ago when I was depressed to the point where I was about to suicide but then this guy with blog name "Fortris" mailed me after seeing my blog. As awkward as it was, we both started talking on mails and after a few months ,when we realized how much we had in common including our shyness, we started opening up. Eventually we told each other our names and our stories.

We have been friends ever since, being each other's support. He became my best and only friend.

The beep of my laptop pulls me from my thoughts. He mailed back! I click on it.

Dear Tris.
What was with that formal message of yours. You are nervous, why? It's just a normal day! Cheer up and try to smile at someone today. Little steps and you will make some friends. About my new school...I am about to leave. Time to act tough for me too. I can't believe how similar we are yet how different we act!
- Tobias.

Tris is a nick name he gave me and he alone calls me that. "Bea! We will be late!" Caleb shouts from downstairs.
"Be right there!" I reply.
I hurriedly type a reply to Tobias.

Dear Tobias.
I feel a little more on edge than usual. Something is about to happen. I can feel it. And I know right?! How can we act so different? But I guess I know how. You are really strong....being able to put up a show of being all normal. I wish I could do that. And I think I WILL smile at someone today. Thank you! I have to rush now before Caleb bites my head off. Bye!
- Tris.

I don't wait for his reply. I slam my screen shut and leave for school
* time lapse*

I get out of the car and start for my first class. As I settle down on my desk in class I feel a shadow over me. That's weird...

"Hey! I am Christina!" Says the girl enthusiastically. I look at her. She is not very pretty but she knows how to make herself noticeable.With those makeup skills, she really should be a beautician.

"Hey" I mumble. Why would she talk to me? From what I know everyone thinks I am invisible.

"Why are you always by yourself? I get that you are shy but we won't kill you for it you know?" She seems kind. I smile at her. Yes!! I smiled at a person! I can't wait to tell Tobias!
"I am not very comfortable around people. Either I make a fool out of myself or I bore them" I confess.

"I guessed as much. You don't have to worry about that. If u make a fool out of yourself, I'll be there with you cause I always make a fool out of myself too! And the latter? It is not possible. I provide the entertainment" she grins as she says the last line. "So friends?"

"Yeah sure!" I smile at her. And not the awkward smile, it's my real smile.

Just then the teacher walks in. Christina hurries to her desk. No one and I mean no one at all wants to piss him off. He's a psychopath!
"See you at lunch" she mouths.

"Okay hand over your essays before we can start" he says. So typical of Mr Eric. He is our English teacher who hates me for no reason at all.

The day passes in a blur and before I know it, I am walking towards the cafeteria. I have to meet up with Christina. But maybe she didn't mean it.

And at that very moment someone pounces on me. A good natured pounce and I know it's Christina.

We sit at their table. She introduces me to her friends : Uriah, Lynn Marlene and Will. She and Will are dating, everyone knows it. They are nice, all of them. Christina is a bit too straightforward but is sweet. I glance at the clock above the door. 5 more minutes till the class. 5 more minutes of happiness.

And then I see a guy entering. He is new. I know because I have a lot of time to look at people and I have never seen him. I would know if I had. He is with the famous Zeke : a guy every girl practically loves but he doesn't date. Only plays around.

The new guy is handsome as in gentlemanly handsome. He is tall and has a muscled body, his hair short and styled.

At that very moment he looks at me. Our eyes meet for a second and I look away.

The rest of the day I catch myself searching for the mysterious guy who only talks to Zeke although many girls AND guys (surprisingly) approach him.
