I wake up early in the morning and turn to look at my clock, it reads, 5:26 AM. I have about an hour before I have to get up and get ready for my first day at school. I try to go back to sleep but I can't so I just get out of bed and go downstairs to watch some TV. I flip through the channels and find that The Big Bang Theory is on so I watch that.

Three episodes later, it's 6:30 and I get up to go back to my room. I go to my closet and pick out what I'm going to wear. I pick out white shorts and a black crop top that just shows a bit of my stomach if I raise my arms up above my head. I take a quick shower and get dressed and come out just as my mom walks in.

"Oh good your up, I thought you would still be sleeping" she says shocked.

"Just because I don't want to go to my new school doesn't mean I'm not going to at least try, for both you and dad" I say smiling at her.

She smiles back in thanks, then turns and walks out of my room. I go to my mirror and start to do my hair. I take out my curling iron and plug it in. It doesn't take me long to curl my hair because I curl it everyday. After my hair is in loose curls I put on my lip-gloss. I walk downstairs and into the kitchen. My mom is making breakfast while my dad is drinking his coffee and looking at the newspaper.

"Good morning" I say, as I sit down next to my dad.

"Good morning sweetie" my dad says, just as my mom sets a plate down in front of me with scrambled eggs and a piece of toast.

"All ready for your first day of school" my mom says sitting down on the other side of my dad.

"Yes" I say as I take a bite out of my toast.

I quickly finish my scrambled eggs and get my backpack. I grab my car keys off the hook and walk towards the door.

"Bye mom, bye dad" I say as I open the door.

"Bye sweetie, have a good day" my mom says as the door clicks shut.

I open the car door and throw my backpack in the passenger seat and start the car. I don't live far from the school, about 7 minutes. I find a parking spot once I get there and turn my car off. I feel my phone buzz and I pull it out from my pocket. I got a text from Luke.

Hope you have a great day, I miss you soooooo much. Love you -Luke.

I smile and grab my backpack and open my car door. I step out and shut the door. I walk towards the front door of the school and click the lock button on the key and I hear my car lock itself. I get a few stares but ignore them and just keep walking.

As I walk in I look at the time on my phone and it reads 7:51. Since I have 9 minutes till class, I look for the office so I can get my schedule. I end up walking around the school for 5 minutes until I finally find the office which just happened to be right beside the front door that I walked through when I first came in. I guess I didn't see it. I walk inside and stop in front of a desk that says "Secretary: Ms.Nita". She's young and very pretty. She wears glasses and is focusing on the computer she is typing on. She doesn't even look up when I stop and stare at her.

"Hi, I'm Beatrice Prior. I was wondering if you had my schedule for me" I say adding a smile.

"Ah, yes of course. Here's your schedule and your locker number is 1046"she says, finally looking at me "I'm the schools secretary Ms.Nita, nice to meet you Beatrice".

"Oh please call me Tris" I say not really giving her a choice, "and it's nice to meet you too."

I turn around and walk out of the office holding my schedule in my hand. I walk around until I find my locker. By this time no one is in the hallway so I know I'm late for class. I open my locker and put my bag inside. I look at my schedule and see what classes I have:

First Semester:

1~English (Rm. 114)

2~Advanced Functions (Rm. 301)

Lunch

3~Fitness (Gym 2)

4~Free Period

I grab my books that I need for my first two periods and close my locker, I look at my schedule again and see that I need to go to room 114. I look around and find a room number that says 127. I walk down the hall until I find myself standing outside room 114.
