The Beginning Of The End (Divergent High)

High School Life

CHAPTER 1: The Beginning 

I wake up to a loud irritating sound, I slowly open my eyes and notice that the sun is out. I soon realize that the sound is actually my alarm clock and I shut it down quickly. Today is the first day of junior year, I try to stay positive so I play some music on my phone. I sing along to my favorite songs while getting ready. I wear something simple because I don’t like drawing attention to myself, I never really found myself beautiful but I try to ignore and focus on other things. I hear a car honking near my building and suddenly my phone vibrates. I read the text out loud “I’m outside, Cmon it’s the first day. I bet there are so many new hot guys. See u in a few ;)” I smile and blush, I never really had a boyfriend before, the last guy I liked didn’t even know I existed but it is fine as long as I have my best friend Christy. She is much prettier and more confident than me but it never really bothered me because she is very kind and funny. I quickly put on some shoes, grab my bag and run down the stairs to meet Christy. I get into her car and we drive to school while gossiping and laughing. The day goes by very quickly, I try not to draw attention to myself which always works, unlike Christy, she examines every guy she sees and smiles at them in a flirty way. after class she screams out:

‘Hurry up, we need to go for ice cream by the beach, I heard there’s and an amazing new coffee shop where all the waiters are hot!’ she says with a huge smile on her face, I can see the excitement in her eyes, she is always so positive.

‘Okay fine I’ll meet near your car, I have to go to my locker first.’ I say while trying not to show any emotions. She smiles at me and quickly leaves. I sometimes wonder, what is it like to have a boyfriend? Someone who is always there for you, someone who can cheer you up when you feel down... My thoughts where suddenly interrupted by a voice:

‘Hey you’re blocking my locker.’ I turn around to face the person. I see a dark haired guy with deep blue dreamy eyes.

‘I am so sorry.’ I say while trying to avoid eye contact with him so he doesn’t notice that I am actually stressed out but his eyes, I can’t help but stare at them.

‘It’s fine.’ he says while smiling at me. I smile at him and blush, my cheeks are burning red,  I look down but he doesn’t seem to look at them so I look back at him for a moment before saying:

 ‘I’m Beatrice but you can call me Tris.’

‘well then see around Tris. he quickly waves goodbye and walks away without mentioning his name. I was always very curious so I feel annoyed, maybe it is because I am not attractive or interesting. I quickly put my dull blond hair in bun and walk toward Christy’s car. I get in the car and say:

‘Christy, you won’t believe it, I just saw the hottest guy in the school and he smiled at me’ I say, I hope I don’t sound too excited.

‘Oh my god what’s his name? He must be new. So did you guys talk?’ she asks.

‘Kind of, I was blocking his locker so I apologized and I introduced myself’ I say.

We spend the afternoon at the beach laughing and talking about guys, when Chris is around, a good time is guaranteed. After sunset, she drops me off near my place. I can’t stop thinking of the guy I saw today, but I don’t know his name. I hop into the shower right when I get home, and I quickly fall asleep after the hot shower.
