Tris pov:

This morning I am wearing black skinny jeans with a black ripped shirt that hangs off of my shoulder.

I wear bright red lipstick and the rest of the make-up from yesterday is the same.

Today I am listening to a ' beautiful ' by Christina Aguilera.

[Spoken]
Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly it's hard to breathe.
Now and then I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed.

I am beautiful no matter what they say.
Words can't bring me down.
I am beautiful in every single way.
Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no.
So don't you bring me down today.

A Farrarri pulls up to me as the song is playing, so I begin to run.

" yo Tris! It's me!!!" I sigh as I hear Four's voice.

" want a ride?" He asks.

" why not?" I say. I get In the car.

He pulls out one of my earphones again to see what I am listening to now

To all your friends you're delirious,
So consumed in all your doom.
Trying hard to fill the emptiness.
The pieces gone, left the puzzle undone.
is that the way it is?

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down....oh no
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what we say
(no matter what we say)
We're the song inside the tune
Full of beautiful mistakes

And everywhere we go
(and everywhere we go)
The sun will always shine
(the sun will always, always shine)
And tomorrow we might wake on the other side

We are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, no, no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down, oh, no
So don't you bring me down today

Oh, yeah, don't you bring me down today, yeah, ooh
Don't you bring me down ooh... today

The song ends, and we walk Into school together. All of the classes are boring until 4th period music that I have with Tori again.

I walk In and sit on the risers and talk to Chrissy and Four until Tori walks in. " Hey class so we are having people sing today, and I am choosing who goes first." She looks around the classroom and her eyes land on me. "Tris, Your up!"

I have a stage fright,even though I sing.

I take a guitar and sit in a stool in front of a mic. I am going to sing my song 'over you'
(Originally By Miranda Lambert READ LYRICS!)

Weather man said it's gonna snow
By now I should be used to the cold
Mid-February shouldn't be so scary
It was only December
I still remember the presents, the tree, you and me

But you went away
How dare you?
I miss you
They say I'll be OK
But I'm not going to ever get over you

Living alone here in this place
I think of you, and I'm not afraid
Your favorite records make me feel better
Cause you sing along
With every song
I know you didn't mean to give them to me
