Hey, so this is slightly different to your average Divergent High story. It will be told in Tris' POV unless I say otherwise.

"Hey Chris(tina) can you come over hear and help me with this?" I call to my friend Christina across the room. I am writing a new song and I am struggling with the chorus and need to check if what I have sounds good. "Sure, just let me finish my outline for my painting" she replies. "Damn!" she exclaims. "what?!" she sighs. "I just made another mistake, can you get someone else to help, sorry Tris" I laugh. "Sure, Uri, can you come over here?" Chris is my best friend and a girl so best person to ask for help on songs, but if she's busy I get my boyfriend Uriah to help. "sure!" he calls back. He comes away from the computer, he was creating some new programming thing, and comes over. Now I know what your thinking. Everyone is this room is crazily talented, or at least they seem to be, and we are, we go to Divergent Prodigy High. Clue is in the name, we are all child prodigies. Well 16 year old prodigies. Me for singing/songwriting, Chris for art and Uri for computer stuff. Then there's Lynn- combat, Will-super smarts, Zeke-strength, Marlene-architecture and Shauna-engineering. There are other people of course but we are a big group of friends. Uri sits next to me and I lean on his shoulder. "Sup Tris?" he asks, putting his arm around me. "I just wanted to know if this chorus is okay"
(A/N all songs will be actual songs, but pretend Tris made them up, artists will be mentioned in the note at the end)
He nods. "what song is it?" "Demons" I reply. He already knows the verse so I can just sing him the chorus.
"When you feel my heat,
Look into my eyes,
It's where my demons hide,
It's where my demons hide,
Don't get too close,
It's dark inside,
It's where my demons hide,
It's where my demons hide."
When I finish everyone is looking at me. "That was amazing!" says Uri, before hugging me. I see jealously dash across Marlene's eyes. I really need to talk to Chris about that. "Yeah Tris that was amazing!" exclaims Zeke. I start to blush. "Can you sing the whole thing?" asks Shauna, excited. "okay, but only because I love you guys so much." I walk up to the mini stage set up in the room and go to the mic.
When the days are cold,
and the cards all fold,
and the saints we see,
are all made of gold,
When your dreams all fail,
and the ones we hail,
are the worst of all,
and he blood's run stale
<bridge>
I want to hide the truth,
I want to shelter you,
but with the beast inside,
there's nowhere we can hide,
no matter what we breed,
we still are made of greed,
this is my kingdom come,
this is my kingdom come.
<chorus>
When you feel my heat,
look into my eyes,
its where my demons hide,
its where my demons hide,
don't get too close,
its dark inside,
its where my demons hide,
its where my demons hide
<verse>
when the curtains call
its the last of all,
when the lights fade out,
all the sinners crawl,
So they dug your grave,
and the masquerade,
they come calling out,
at the mess you made,
<bridge>
don't want to let you down,
but I am hell bound,
though it's all for you,
don't want to hide the truth,
no matter what you breed,
we still are made of greed,
this is my kingdom come,
this is my kingdom come,
<chorus>
when you feel my heat,
look in to my eyes,
it's where my demons hide,
it's where my demons hide,
don't get too close,
it's dark inside,
it's where my demons hide,
it's where my demons hide,
<verse>
they say it's what you make,
I say it's up to fate,
it's woven in my soul,
i have you let you go,
Your eyes they shine so bright,
I need to save their light,
I can't escape this now,
unless you show me how
<chorus>
when you feel my heat,
look in to my eyes,
it's where my demons hide,
it's where my demons hide,
don't get too close,
it's dark inside,
it's where my demons hide,
it's where my demons hide.
I finish and everyone is cheering. Then I hear slow, sarcastic clapping, and turn to see a boy our age with dark brown almost black hair and the most hypnotising blue eyes. They look almost kind but it's hard to think that when he is smirking and mocking me. "Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't know who you think you are but there is no need to be rude." He laughs. "I'm Four, I'm a dancer, sorry but I don't do singing and have no respect for singers" Great. A jerk. "Well then, number boy, you had best stay out of my way" with that I walk off stage and go back to where I was sitting before. Chris comes over and hi-fives me. Four shakes his head and walks out of the room. We all burst out laughing, thank god he did leave otherwise we may have exploded into hysterics at an inappropriate moment.

Well there's the first chappie. The song was Demons by Imagine Dragons. Please vote and comment, I love hearing opinions and getting support.
