Pov. tris

His birthday is almost 2 days away, a week after his 13 birthday he moved, and it's been 4 years since. I just moved to a city called Chicago. The school I will be going to is called Divergent High. It is split up into factions there is  Candor, the honest, Amity, the peaceful, Abnegation, the selfless, Dauntless, the brave, and Erudite, the intelligent. Everyone  take a tests to see what fraction they  belong in. That chooses what classes they will take, where thier locker is, and who they hang out with. They sent me my test and I got three of the fractions Dauntless, Abnegation, and Erudite. They call it divergent.

I turn to look at the clock it's 6:00 . I am supposed to have breakfast done at 6:15. If not I'm going to get hit hard . Andrew, My dad has been beating me since mom died when I was 8 it started to get worse at 13. I run down and make eggs and toast. Set it on the table and run up stairs as soon as i close my door, his opens.

I hurry to get ready I put on my on outfit, put my hair in a pony tail, and the locket tobias gave me. I go back down stairs quickly.

" Sir I have to go to school now"

" Ok, be back by 6:00 for you punishment"

I have to walk to school because I haven't  saved up enough money for the car I want. There two thing that andrew let me have a room with a bed and money as long as it mine not his. With the money I buy food, bandges, toiletries, clothes, and a bill for the phone I have. I as i walk I hear cars go by but then I hear someone yell hey. I look right beside me and see a girl with short brown hair and mocha colored skin.
" my names christina but you can call me chris"
" I am tris"
" you new here?"
"Yes"
"School dosen't start for 20 minutes do you want to get starbucks with me, then I can take you to school"
" Sure"
I get in her cars and she drive to starbucks( do not hate me but i have only been to starbucks once and i do not know what they have there) then go to school. She shows me where the office is and waits outside. When I get in I see a middle age women.
" hi, I am beatrice prior and I need my schedule"
" Hi I am Mrs. Roth and here is your schedule"

I walk out and christina shows me my locker. It turns out that we have locker right next to each other and also alot of the same classes. I zone out as I walk to music. I run into someone.
" Hey, whatch where your going."
"Sorry" i mutter as I look up. He have dark blue eye and brown almost black hair. He looks really familiar.
I get to music and see christina waving me over.
" Hey Tris"
"Hey"
" These are my friends Uriah, Zeke, Shauna, Marlene, Will, and Four."
Theres a chorse of hellos and hi.
I look at all of them but four i look at more closely becase he is the one i ran into in the hallway and he has the same deep blue eye and dark brown hair as tobias. Then the teacher comes in
" hi i am Mrs.Wu but please call me Tori. Today i would like you sing a song in front of the class be ready in 10 minutes."
I going to sing fight like a girl by Kalie Shorr. I get out my phone to look and listen to the lyrics. Then ten minutes are done 10 people go then it is my turn i go up to the front of the class. As i start i think back to the time tobias left, the beating i get from my dad, and all the bullying.
( now the lyrics)
He's calling out my name, says Iʼm just a featherweight
He thinks the slightest breeze could blow me over
But what he doesn't know, is Iʼve got a slingshot and a stone
And I can win with no one in my corner
So donʼt you even try to hold me back

[Chorus]
I got my high heels on with my boxing gloves
I can knock you out with a one two punch
Iʼm perfume sweet and whiskey strong
I damn sure ainʼt no underdog
I might fall down, but I get back up
I shine brightest when the goingʼs tough
You say I canʼt, well darling watch me
You canʼt stop me
Cause I fight like a girl

Iʼm little but Iʼm loud, just wanna make my mama proud
And you can tell without a doubt that Iʼm her daughter
She raised me to believe that I can be anything
So when you push me I'll just push back harder
He's calling out my name, says Iʼm just a featherweight
He thinks the slightest breeze could blow me over
But what he doesn't know, is Iʼve got a slingshot and a stone
And I can win with no one in my corner
So donʼt you even try to hold me back

[Chorus]
I got my high heels on with my boxing gloves
I can knock you out with a one two punch
Iʼm perfume sweet and whiskey strong
I damn sure ainʼt no underdog
I might fall down, but I get back up
I shine brightest when the goingʼs tough
You say I canʼt, well darling watch me
You canʼt stop me
Cause I fight like a girl

Iʼm little but Iʼm loud, just wanna make my mama proud
And you can tell without a doubt that Iʼm her daughter
She raised me to believe that I can be anything
So when you push me I'll just push back harder

[Chorus]
I got my high heels on with my boxing gloves
I can knock you out with a one two punch
Iʼm perfume sweet and whiskey strong
I damn sure ainʼt no underdog
I might fall down, but I get back up
I shine brightest when the goingʼs tough
You say I canʼt, well darling watch me
You canʼt stop me
Cause I fight like a girl

I fight tough, I fight hard, I fight fair
Wonʼt stop fighting til I get there
No I ainʼt afraid to cry
Everybodyʼs gotta feel something sometimes
I fight tough, I fight hard, I fight fair
Wonʼt stop fighting til I get there
I ainʼt afraid to cry
I ainʼt afraid to fight

[Chorus]
I got my high heels on with my boxing gloves
I can knock you out with a one two punch
Iʼm perfume sweet and whiskey strong
I damn sure ainʼt no underdog
I might fall down, but I get back up
And I shine brightest when the goingʼs tough
You say I canʼt, well darling watch me
You canʼt stop me
Cause I fight like a girl

I fight tough, I fight hard, I fight fair
Wonʼt stop fighting til I get there
No I ainʼt afraid to cry
I fight like a girl
( done with the song)
Everyone starts to clap as i go to my seat . I sit down, then someone taps on my arm. I look to see who it is and it is four.
"You did great"
" Thanks" I wonder what he is going to sing.
