I wake up to the dreaded sound of my alarm. My brother runs in screeming.

"Wake up beatrice. Its the first day of school. You don't want to be late". He's such an erudite. Reading books all day, studying all night.

"In a minute. Leave me alone" I mumble into my pillow wanting just one more minute of sleep.

"MUM!!! TRIS WONT GET UP" Caleb shouts in my ear whilst sitting on top of me.

'That snitch' I think to myself.

"OOyyy", I hear from above me.

"Did I just say that out loud" I mumble, still tired.

"Ye-" Caleb gets cut off by our mum.

"TRIS HUNNY. GET UP OR I WILL GET THE TICKLE MONSTER", Mum shouts from downstairs. she knows I hate the tickle monster. I jump straight out of bed.

"I'm up! No need to get the tickle monster"

Mum comes upstairs and high fives Caleb as he walks out of my room to go and get ready.

I put on my black tang-top and a red crop top with a black heart and arrow on the front. I also put on my black skinny jeans with my brown combat boots and my new, favourite leather jacket.

I go to the bathroom and put on a bit of consealer and maskara. I put on my favourite lip gloss and head downstairs.

There's no need to dress up for the first day when I won't dress up any other day.

I go to the kitchen and find my mum making my favourite breakfast. Spaghetti tacos. I walk over to the pan and grab some spaghetti with a fork.

"Oy. Save some for with the tacos". I grab a taco and fill it with spaghetti.

"MMmm. These are the best spagetti tacos ever"

"The one and only. But these are only for your first day"

I sat there in silence eating my tacos.

We moved from la because my dad got a new job in chicargo. It will be easier for him to work hear considering he is a full time auther and everyone I ask has read his book 'The Fault In Our Stars'. They had to put John green on the front of the book for the safety of our family. It is a New York Times best seller. He has written may other books as well with different author names. John Green is one of my dads best friends and I am best friends with his son Ansel Green. I miss him. We had to leave them to come over here but they said they would spend Christmas with us. Ansel was my bestfriend. We could do anything together. He knows all of my deepest darkest secrets. I hope I make a new friend as good as Ansel that I can tell all my secrets to.

My Mum has an equally exiting job, Directing movies and casting celebrity's. Sometimes when I went to the set with Mum, she would let me meet the celebrities. I have lost count how many I have met.

My Mum got to direct all of the Harry Potters because my Dad wrote them so that is an advantage. Emma Watson, the girl who plays Hermione Granger is my best friend as well. We aren't as close as me and Ansel but we were very close. I miss her so much as well.

You may think we are rich with all of these good jobs. Well we are but we are not spoiled brats like some of the rich people. Yea we have a mansion and nice cars and lots of clothes but my parents work very hard for this money and they deserve it.

Speeking of parents. My Dad, being the typical lazy man he is, is still in bed sleeping. He had a long night last night. He is in the middle of writing a new book, but I thought he would at least wake up to say goodbye to us on our first day of school. In the middle of the year.

"Are you scared" my Mum said knocking me out of my shock.

"Were you". "On your first day at a new school".

"Yes, very. Its natural" she said so calmly.

"You better pack your bag. School starts soon and you need to get your time table from the office, then find your locker and your homeroom before the bell goes" she said quickly, all in one breath.

Pressure much.

"OK thanks Mum"

I go up to my room and pack my lunch into my bag and run downstairs. I say goodbye to my Mum because my Dad is still in bed. Caleb left ages ago because he always has to be at school early. Even on the first day at a new school.

I grab my bag and run to my Porche. Its my baby.

I get to school a few minutes early so I have just the right amount of time to grab my timetable from the office and go to homeroom. When I get to school I get some cat calls. I wave at them flirtatiously and head off to the front of school. I look up and see the name of the school in big letters. Someone taps on my shoulder and I hear them say "Welcome to Divergent High".
