Faction Center: Dauntless High

Chapter 22: The New Kids

Yesterday, we finally got off the ship. It was hard to walk at first, but it's better now. Today, we have to go back to school.

Ew.

I know, I know. School is important. But I honestly don't care right now. It's March, and there's a rumor that a new girl is coming to our school today. I don't have the social skills to meet her, and plus, Tobias' birthday is coming up. I need to buy him gifts, which, of course, involves shopping. Christina will definitely make the mall unavoidable.

7:00 comes around. I am wearing simple outfit, black v-neck shirt with a dark red tank underneath that matches black ripped skinned jeans and my half-calf combat boots. My hair is in a slick and straight high ponytail, and I have mascara, eyeliner, and some golden eyeshadow on. Some tinted red lip gloss will top it off, so I brush my teeth and apply it.

"FOUR!" I yell. He runs down the stairs from his room, grabbing an apple from the counter.

"Ready?" he asks me. I nod, checking the clock that reads 7:10. Great timing for us to get to school that starts at 9:15. We hop in the car, listening to a playlist with all my favorite songs;

Angels on the moon by thriving ivory

Boston by augustana

Classic by MKTO

She looks so perfect by 5sos

Heartache on the big screen by 5sos

Dead in the water by Ellie Goulding

Give me love by Ed sheeron

I need you by M83

Miss movin' on by fifth harmony

Harlem by New politics

Waiting for superman by daughtry

I put those songs on shuffle, and start driving to the horror that is school.

With Tobias of course.

We arrive at 8:50 ish. That's when we see them. The new kids. There are three of them, two girls and a boy. Their names?

-Jessica, a light brown wavy haired, hazel eyed girl who had a streak of bleach blonde running through her hair on the left side, right next to her ear.

-Anna, a bleach blonde with bright hazel eyes. She also had stick straight hair, that is crossing the line between normal and unnatural. She did most of the talking.

-Caden, a dirty blonde, who had an arrogant smirk that complimented his dark chocolate brown eyes. His straight hair reached his jawline, and screamed 'I need a haircut!' He was cute, but Tobias is cuter. As for personality, he seems like a total a**.

"Hi, I'm Tris. You must be new here?" I say nicely.

"Uh, yes. I'm Anna, and these are my siblings Jessica and Caden. I have another brother Cole, but he isn't in highschool yet. " I give her a look, kind of asking what grade telepathically. "middle school, actually. So, we were wondering where we could get our schedules? Oh, and I almost forgot. Jessica is my fraternal twin, and goes my the name Jess." I smile at her.

"That's cool. Okay, follow me."

We get them their schedules. It turns out that Caden has all of his classes with me. So guess who has to show him around?

Me.

And I'm not assuming this or anything. The secretary, Veronica, noticed our similar schedules and ordered me to show him around. I know I cannot be around this guy much longer before ripping his head off.
