Divergent High

Chapter 3- Tryouts

Tris's POV:

Christina, Marlene, Shuana, Lynn and Lauren are here. There are a few other girls I don't know.

A girl coach starts to walk out."My name is coach Hayney. Let's begin." She says.

She calls us out individually. When it's my turn, she plays the music. I scream a cheer and then do cartwheels. I do a backflip and front hand-spring and finish in splits.

Everyone stares in awe. I laugh. They clap.

After all the other girls do their routines, Coach Hayney speaks up, "Alright. Team listings will be put up tomorrow at lunch. Dismissed." She says.

I walk out of practice and head to my car. I drive to my house and see the next door neighbor. He looks angry. And mad. And angry.

I sigh. I drive into my garage and park the car. I have no homework on the first day of school, so I decide to watch t.v. I watch my favorite movie, divergent.

I fall asleep during the movie. I am awoken to a manly blood-curling scream. I walk over to the neighbors house. I knock on the door. No answer. I knock again. No answer. I open the door. I look around. Nothing. I go upstairs.

I see a man walk into a room with a whip in his hand. The man I saw earlier that was angry. I open the door to a room and see a boy with lashes deep in his back. I cover my mouth with my hands. I can hardly breathe. I've never seen such a horrid sight. I help up the boy. I notice his eyes. Those eyes.

"Four?" I ask. He looks up. "Tris?" he asks. I nod. He nods. "Where'd you come from?" he asks. "I live next door." I say. He screams in pain. "Come on, let's get you cleaned up. " I say.

I walk him to my house. I get pain medicine and wrap his back in bandages. I lay him down on the couch.

"Well now I guess you know my secret." He says. "I guess so." I reply.

"You see Tris, this isn't some little thing you can tell everyone. My dad has been doing this since I was 8 and I've never told anyone." He says.

I nod.

"So you probably don't wanna go back. You can sleep here if you'd like. He shakes his head. "He'd only get angrier."

I nod. "Well," I grab a piece of paper and write my phone number, "call me if you need me" I say. He takes the paper and walks out. I get back to my couch. Hmm.. it's just like that kid's dad in divergent.

I laugh. I guess I've made a new discovery. I think, then drift off to sleep.

A/N: sorry it's a crappy short chapter. But yay! I've made a book! Most of the time I would just read books on wattpad, but @four_tris46 inspired me. Follow her please!
