Chapter 1 It All Begins Here

Tris POV


I am having a wonderful dream about my family and I having a family dinner with my mom, dad, and brother, Caleb. I was awoken by Caleb squirting me with a squirt gun. I jump up out of bed and scream, "What the heck, Caleb?" He looks at me with an innocent face. "It's our first day at Faction High. You don't wanna be late and mom told me to wake you up," he explained. "Well, couldn't you have wake me up without giving me pneumonia?" I yell. Caleb his hand to his chin scratching it, thinking. "Yeah, I guess, but where's the fun in that?" "You have three seconds to get out of my room before..." I threatened, but Caleb was gone before I even finished my sentence.


I go over and shut my door and turn around and sigh. First day at a new school, its the middle of the semester. My dad and mom both worked at Mass. General Hospital, MGH for short, in Boston. They got an offer to come out to Chicago to work here as a Trauma Surgeon and Neurologist, both of their dream jobs. They took the jobs and we moved here, leaving everything we had behind.


I snap out of my daydream and get ready for school. I open up my closet and grab a dress. My only dress, a grey and black stripped, form fitting, maxi dress and some black black slip on shoes. I put them on and move onto my hair. I wear my hair the same way I always have, middle part and down. My flat, lifeless brown hair. I look and the mirror, I guess this is as good as its gonna get.


My mom is already at work and my dad took my baby, a turquoise lamborgini, to the shop, so I decide to walk. Its not too far. I grab my school bag and an apple and walk to school. I see people staring at me because I am the new girl. I quickly walk into school and head towards the office to get my schedule. I see Caleb, he must have driven here, and a lady at the desk. She says, "Oh, you must be Beatrice. Welcome to Faction High. "


A lady in a blue suit with short blonde hair walks into the office. She glances over at Caleb and I and says, " You must be the Priors, Beatrice and Caleb, I am Mrs. Mathews, your new principal. Now you two have a very important decision to make. You need to choose what group or faction to be in here at Faction High. The school is divided into 5 factions, your classes are based on which faction you choose. Your faction also decides your career. There is Candor, the honest, Amity, the kind, Erudite, the smart, Abnegation, the selfless, and Dauntless, the brave." I had heard about the factions before and narrowed it down to three, Erudite, which would mean I would become a teacher, biologist, or doctor, Abnegation, I would be involved with government and be selfless my entire life, or Dauntless, I would become part of the protectors of the city. Im horrible at being selfless and I am not very smart, so I know what I am going to choose. I wonder what Caleb will choose though. He is always so selfless. He is a natural at it.


I am snapped out of my thoughts when I hear, "Beatrice? Your choice, please." "Dauntless," I say. She nods her head and grabs the one if the five schedules in the pile in my folder and a pile of books and hands it to me. She gestures to the door and I walk out and look back at Caleb. He says something that I cannot make out. Mrs. Mathews take him into her office. Hmm I wonder what that what that was all about.


I turn around and turn the corner and bump into a girl with raven black hair and mocha skin. All my books fall onto the ground. I get down to pick them up and start to I'm sorry but I'm cut off by her saying, "Oh no, don't be sorry. It was my fault, I was not looking where I was going. I'm Christina, by the way. " She says as she holds out her hand and I shake it. "Hey, are you new here?" she asks. "Yes, I'm Beatrice. My brother and I just moved here from Boston," I respond. "Thats cool. What faction did you choose?" she says. "Dauntless." She squeals. " OMG! Me too! Where is your schedule? I will show you where your locker is." I hand her my schedule and she examines it and says, "216! Right next to mine! Here follow me." She grabs my hand and pulls me down the hall to my locker. I open it up and put my books inside.


Christina squeals again and I say, "What?" "We have all of our classes together, except art/music, which depends on which day it is, but do not worry my friend Four is in that class," she tells me. I look at my schedule and see what classes I have.


1. Geometry Mr. Hale
2. Art/Music Ms. Wu
3. History Mr. Branch
4. English Mrs. Thomas
5. Lunch
6. Science Mrs. Mathews
7. Dauntless Training Mr. Parody


The school bells rings and Christina says, "Crap, come on. We are gonna be late for Geometry. Oh and after school we are going shopping." Ughhh. I hate shopping! "Why?" I ask. "We need to fix that." I look up and Christina is looking at me and my outfit. Great. Already people trying to change me on first day of school.
