Finding Myself

Chapter 2

Tris P.O.V

I wake up and have the strangest feeling that something is in front of my face. When I open my eyes I see Caleb like 2 inches from my face, grinning like an idiot. I go with my instincts and slap him hard across the face. Ouch, that's gotta hurt.

"BEA! What was that for?" he says putting a hand over where I slapped him.

"What the hell Caleb? You scared the shit out of me."

"Yeah yeah." He mutters and leaves the room. I turn over to my clock and see that I have plenty of time to get ready and make a good first impression.

Taking my time, I walk over to the bathroom and hop into the shower. As soon as the water hits my back I scream, "CALEB!" the water is freezing cold. He must've taken a long shower...again. I quickly finish my shower and come out of the bathroom, shivering.

Caleb stands there, pointing and laughing at me. I flip him off and slam my bedroom door closed. I go into my closet and say, "Decisions, decisions."

I finally find a really cute outfit that I don't even remember buying. My Mom probably got it for me. Ever since the whole Robert thing, she's been buying me a bunch of stuff thinking it would make me feel better but I'll never feel better.

I put on a short pink flare skirt, a black lace crop top, black flats and black arm warmers to cover my old scars. I put my hair in a messy bun and put on natural looking makeup.

When I'm confident with how I look I head downstairs grab an apple and head to my red Ferrari.

<<<Page Break>>>

As I pull into the parking lot, everyone stares at my car and honestly, I'm starting to like the attention. "Fancy seeing you here!" No no no, this isn't happening. I turn around and see Peter, the one that beat up Robert that one time. I turn around and say, "What the hell are you doing here?" By now, everyone is staring at us.

"You didn't hear? I transferred. Hey, where's your little gay friend? Is he hooking u-" Peter says but I cut him off. It's then that I lose all sense of self control.

I storm towards him and punch him square in the nose. He tries to punch my side but I grab his wrist and twist it behind his back so now he's leaning down. I bend down and whisper so only he can hear, "He's dead because of you. I suggest you stay away from me because I will not hesitate to rip your head off."

With that I walk off to my locker. As I'm grabbing my books someone taps my shoulder. I turn around and see a mocha skinned girl. "Oh my gosh that was amazing what you did back there." she says. "Thanks I guess." I say.

"Here," she says. "Let me see your schedule." I hand it to her and she says, "Well I guess you're gonna be stuck with me for the rest of the year. And if you want, you can eat lunch with me and my friends." I nod.

The bell rings. "Come on, I'll show you to class." she says. We link arms and walk off to class. At least I won't be a total loner this year.
