Tris's POV:

I am awoken by a loud dreadful sound.

beep

I snack the alarm clock so hard it falls on the floor. It breaks into pieces. Oops.

I climb out of bed and clean up the mess I made with that stupid alarm clock. I check my calender to see a large red circle. OMG! It's the first day of my new high school!

I dress in my new denim shorts, a black tank top, a red crop top that says 'Hahaha...no', and red coverse.

I go to the restroom and brush my hair. I put it in a high ponytail. I put on mascara, ruby red lipstick, and black eyeshadow. I put in my contacts and walk out of the restroom. I head downstairs to see breakfast on the table.

"I'm gonna drop your father off at work." my mom yells from the front of the house.

"Kay" I scream. I grab a muffin off the tray and grab my backpack. I walk to my car.

I got my car a few weeks ago when I turned 16 on my birthday.

It's a red 2013 Ford. I love it like it's my baby. If anyone touches it, they die. I plug in my phone and play my favorite Taylor songs, You Belong with Me and White Horse. I eat the muffin.

The school isn't that far away so I get there quickly. I pull into the parking lot and park my car. I put my iPhone 5 in my backpack and head outside. I walk inside. The office is at the front of the entire school so I head towards the door walk. I'm looking around so I run into a girl.

"Hi" I say. "Hello" she says. "I'm Christina" she says. "I'm Be- Tris. I'm Tris." I say. "Are you new?" she ask. I nod.

She grabs my arm and walks me into the office. I zone out and look around. There are dozens of trophies on the wall. Christina comes back over to me and hands me a paper that is titled 'SCHEDULE'. We look at the paper.

Christina squeals. I jump. "You have all classes with me exept Science and Art

She starts walking down the hall and I follow her. She shows me the science room and I walk in. Everyone stares at me then starts talking again.

I sit next to a boy with blue eyes. I get lost in his eyes until I hear my name called from the teacher. Mrs. Matthews as it says on the board. "What?" I say. Everyone laughs. Another boy next to blue eyes mouths the word 'attendance'. Oh! "Here" I say. I give him a thumbs up.

I look back at the boy and he is looking at me. He turns around quickly. So do I. Throughout the class I can feel him looking at me.

I grab my backpack and walk out of the door. I look around and pull the paper out again. It says my locker number is 4610. I walk down the hallways and and finally find it. I open it and put my new textbooks in it.

When I close it, two people are making out right next to me. They stop kissing and I see who it is. Mr. blue eyes and some other girl. Blue eyes and I catch a glimpse of each other's eyes before I walk away.

My next class is language arts. I walk down the hallway and see the same boy walk in.

"Excuse me. What is your name? I ask him. "To- Four" he says. "You stuttered" I say. He stiffins.

"Kidding. I'm Be- Tris." I say. He smiles. "You stuttered" He says. I roll my eyes.

He lets me in the room first. I sit in a chair next to him and the teacher starts talking. This is gonna be a long day....
