Faction High

Chapter 2: Car Ride

Tris POV

        When the plane lands and the pilot tells us we can get out of our seat belts, I breath a sigh of relief. I'm finally allowed to get off of that god-awful plane. Caleb was quiet and courteous, as always. I'm so done with his attitude. Does he realize he's an orphan? Maybe things haven't sunken in yet. I'm still angry at him for the way he's been acting. I'm broken out of my thoughts when Caleb nudges me.

        "What?"

        "I think that's Aunt Jenine." he says pointing to a small woman with short blond hair and is weariing a blue dress. "I remember her from a picture Dad once showed me of her." She walks over to us and say "You're Beatrice and Caleb? I'm your aunt, Jenine. Come with me, my car is waiting outside for us."

        My aunt had a black mercedes that must have cost a fortune. She also had hired a driver. What kind of person needs a personal driver? I thought she was just a principal, who was this woman? "I'm very sorry about your parents. I truly hope that you find it comfortable here. We have a great educational program at Faction High, the high school you'll be transfering to."

        "That's great. Wouldn't want us to grow up uneducated, now, would you?"

        "Beatrice! Be nice." Caleb always expects me to be so kind to each other, even after we became orphans. That thought just hit me. Me and Caleb are orphans. Wow.

        "You're right Caleb. I should be nice. Just like that drunk driver was when he killed mom and dad. So yeah, Caleb, being nice is my top priority to be nice right now." I was seething with anger.

        "That's not Aunt Jenine's fault." I scoff at that. Sure it's not her fault my parents are dead, but it is her fault that I had to leave my childhood home, my best friends, and the only thing that linked my to my parents. I decide not to let it bother me for now, I can't do anything about it now, Aunt Jenine is our legal guardian now.

        "I really am sorry, Bea." she wispered it, probably hoping I didn't actually hear her, but I did hear.

        "Don't call me that. Only my father called me that." She said nothing now and neither did Caleb. I guess they didn't want to poke the troll.
