If it means a lot to you : a divergent high story

Chapter 1: once a jerk always a jerk

TRIS

"Good morning Chicagoans it's 6:30 in the morning the weather outside is a bri-"

I slam my hand down the alarm the only thing more annoying then waking up to beeping is someones voice who sounds like they're happy to be up this time. I push the blanket off and swing my legs off the Bed and onto the ground, trudge over to the bathroom still half asleep. Then across the hall I see Caleb up as well he looks at the bathroom the same distance between both are rooms. He looks back at me then I bolt to the bathroom he does the same.

We get there same time and start shoving each others with shoulders "Caleb I need the bathroom" "so do I all you do is do hair for a half -hour" I scowl at him and stomp on his foot "oow" I stick my tongue out and slam the door in his face. I take a shower letting the warm water soothe my aching muscles from my sorry excuse for a bed. I dry off brush my teeth, get dressed and go back to room to do my hair "it's yours Caleb" I here him mutters something under his breath.

I put on a flowy sleeveless shirt, black jeans and black converse. When my hair dried straitened it and put on my makeup; eyeliner and mascara. Then went downstairs to eat breakfast "hi mom" I said when sat on one of the stools by the island."hi honey excited for school" "as excited one could bed for sitting in 7 different cold rooms for 6 hours while teachers lecture" "well that's good" she said but hopefully that was sarcasm. I finished my breakfast grabed my keys and my messenger back and drove my truck to school while listening to violence by a day to remember on loud.

I pull into the school parking lot shut off my music and grab my bag. "Tris!" I here a voice in the distance. I turn around and see Christina, she runs up to me and gives me a bone crushing hug "Christina....can't ....breath" I say between breathes "oh sorry just missed you"

"you realize I saw you last week"

"Yeah but still I missed having school with you"

We walked in into when someone shoulder bumped me "you could say excuse me four"

"And you could stop being bitch but I don't think that's gonna happen anytime soon" I shake my head and continue down the hall " you know you think being a senior he would mature some" Christina whispers to me "once a a jerk always a jerk" I mutter. I've hated four since the 6th grade he always made fun of me calling me a nerd or like one time in art putting glue in my hair, why? I'm not totally sure maybe because he's just an ass that's always been my assumption. And he only gotten worse constantly hooking up with girls getting in trouble and etcetera.

"Hey did you get schedule?" I nod my head and hand her my schedule

hr: ms wu

1: AP: ligature Mr.kang

2: symphonic band Mrs. Rehenes

3: music theory

4ab: lunch

4: pre calc Mr. Fisher

5: AP chemistry Ms. Mathews

6: AP phyc Mrs. Anderson

7: German 4 Mr. James

(A/N: I just used my own schedule also 'hr' mean homeroom in my school it's doesn't count as a full since it's only 30 min)

"We have lunch,AP lit and pre calc together" Christina says. When get to my locker I see Lynn, Marlene and shauna waiting for us. "Hey" they wave and give me hugs. I grab my books and head to homeroom with Christina and Marlene, then Will comes towards us and puts his arm around Christina

"Hey will"

"Hey"

We enter homeroom I sit next to Christina. Then four comes in with Zeke and Uriah. "Thank you for joining us for" said Ms wu and of course he sits next to me. I look out of the corner of my eye to see four pointing his thumb at me or at least that's what it looks like and laughing. he notices me looking and I quickly focus my eyes back to the front of room. "You know tris if you want me you could just ask you seem good enough for a one night stand" I scowl at him

"fuck you four"

"Like I said you could just ask"

I just roll my eyes and turn my attention back to Marlene and Christina once homeroom is over it's I walk with Christina to AP lit.

TOBIAS

I'm in forensics science when I get called down to my counselor's office. I collect my things and go to room 220 and knock on the door. "Hello four would you please take a seat" she says and I do and start bouncing my knee up and down waiting to get get this over with.

"So four I was looking at your credits and it seem like you don't have enough to graduate" I furrow my eyebrows I can't graduate?

"So I can't graduate?" I ask with disappointment in my voice

"Not necessarily, there's one thing that will give you enough elective credits"

"What is it?"

"An intern ship working after school from 4 to 6 on mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays and 10 to 4 on weekends we have some select places in mind" she hands me a piece of paper with a list of businesses. One being an automotive repair shop which sounds like to much work, the library sounds something so boring I might want to shoot myself. But the last one a music shop

"The last uncle Bob's music shop"

"Ok you start tomorrow at 4:00 don't be late"

TRIS

I remember in middle school I loved the end of school, and I still do but not as much as I did before I got a job. Some people get them to teach them responsibility maybe to look good on a college application but I just got it for the sheer purpose of money, 9.50 an hour to be exact. I grab my books from my locker and walk to my car and drive to work.

I've worked at uncle Bob's music shop since the beginning of junior year. It has it's ups and downs but I'm lucky I got it, some people are rude others are stupid but it's the only job I could find where I get to work with instruments and listen to music all day.

"Hi tris" Alex says as I walk in. she is only 21 so only four years older then me. She has has black chin length hair thats bangs pretty much cover both her eyes, and has a nose ring and tattoos that peak out of her collar.

"Hi is there any repairs or can I take my break early" I say giving her puppy dog eyes

"There's two guitars that got dropped off so get started" she says while typing on the computer.

For the next hour I have re-stringed and fix the back and acoustic and electric, while listening to of mice and men. One thing I love is in the back there's a room where repairs are done and usually it's just me so I can listen to music on loud and just forget about the worlds problems. Then someone knocks on the door

"Hey tris I got Mcdonalds thought you might be hungry" Alex says holding up the bag

"I'm famished thanks" me and Alex sit, talk and eat. Alex is like the older sister I've always wanted. She's helped me with so much and I can trust her with everything basically. After I finish my shift I get my bag say bye to Alex and go home.

A/N: this is just and intro so I'll get more specific and actually have things happen I just wanted to get it started so plz comment if sucks or not and what I can do to make it better thnx
