Divergent High

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

~Tris POV~

I wake up with the annoying sound of my alarm. I groan and turn it off. 6am.... 6AM?!?! I groan. I can't believe this! Caleb changed the alarm clock half hour earlier just to bother me. I hear a light chuckle and Turn to the other side of my bed to see Caleb. When he sees my glare, he starts laughing louder and says "Morning Beatrice". I roll my eyes and cover my face with the pillow.

"I hate you..." I mumble.

"Awwww that's so sweet. I love you too" he answers mockingly. I take the pillow off my face and I throw it at him. He dodges easily and puts a hand on his heart acting like he is hurt. "That was so mean of you".

"Go away, Caleb! I want to get changed!" I say while getting up.

"Fine" he turns around and leaves shutting the door.

I make my bed and go to take a long shower since now I have more time for myself. I step out of the bathroom, dry my hair, wash my teeth and walk to my closet. I put on my underwear and pick a pair of jeans, a grey shirt and simple shoes. I close the closet to look at myself at my small mirrow of my bedroom and comb my hair to a ponytail. I don't put any make up on because I don't think I will look pretty on it. I don't really consider myself pretty anyways; not ugly but obviously not pretty. I sigh tiredly and walk out of my room slamming the door, still mad that my brother woke me up. I go down the stairs and I start smelling crambled eggs and bacon. I go to the kitchen and see my brother. My jaw drops. My brother cooking; unbelievable.

He looks at me and frowns. "What?"

"Since when do you cook?" I ask

"Pft...please.... I know how to cook, I just don't want to. Besides, it's the best I can do now for making that joke."

"You really didn't have to....but thanks anyway." I smile at him.

He finishes cooking and I hand him two plates. He divides the food placing some eggs and bacon in each plate and hands one to me. I thank him and I sit down. We start eating. Mmmm this is great. I think.

When we finish our plates, I start washing the dishes and he starts speaking. "I can't believe we are going to change from school"

"Yea... Divergent High. New friends, new memories...."

"So what faction are you going to choose, Beatrice?"

"Mm?" I frown.

"You know.....the sectors in the school. It's divided into five."

Oh damn.... I totally forgot to read the leaflet of the school when our parents signed us up. Why couldn't we go to a more normal school?!?!

I hear my brother chuckle. "I really don't know"

"I was thinking out loud, wasn't I?"

"Mmhm" he nods and continues. "Don't worry, it's easy. The school is divided in five buildings acording to the personality you fit in the most. There's Abnegation the selfless, Amity the kind, Candor the honest, Erudite the smart and finally Dauntless the brave.....which I won't choose cause I saw one of them yesterday and he creeped me out" He jokes and I laugh a bit at his comment.

"I really don't know what to choose....I don't think I can fit in one." I mean really.... I'm not any of them.

"Relax, it's just a school. And only two years. Just choose the one you like the most" he says and I nod.

Right in that second, Mom and Dad walk in and when they see us, they open their eyes widely.

"Oh my! Look at this, dear! The two of them already up! They must love school" dad tries to mock us and I playfully stick out my toungue at him.

"Blame him!" I point at my brother "He made me wake up at 6"

He throws his arms defensively "Hey! I made you breakfast to compensate and that's how you thank me?"

"You cooked?!? Unbelievable!" Dad says

"See?! That's what I was thinking!" I say and Caleb punches me playfully in the arm.

"Alright you two. Time to talk about a few things" mom says and they sit down. Once we are all silent she begins talking again "so we decided to change you to this school because back in our childhood, your dad and I went there and we had really good experiences....experiences we want you to have." Caleb and I nod. "Before we couldn't afford this school but now that your dad earned a new and very high position at the government, it is now posible."

I get it. Before we barely handle our type of economy. Dad worked hard and very late everyday and Mom worked at the Community and Service so she couldn't earn much money. Last year, my dad got a new offer of work and he took it. Thanks to that, we are kind of rich but we don't show off cause they consider it self indulgent. So we donate part of the money and live with what it's necesary. I think that.....

"So you were abnegation in the school right?"

"How did you know, Beatrice?" Dad asks

"Your selfless way of thinking.... I guess you got that from the school." I say

"No dips, Sherlock" Caleb says and I elbow him slightly while chuckling.

"But going back to the point" Mom interrupts "we just want to say that you have to choose one of those factions and when you do, please choose it because you want to, okay?" Caleb and I nod "Choose wisely" she finishes and my dad smiles and says "Good luck. I think you should go know. You're going to be late."

Caleb and I stand up, hug our parents goodbye and we walk out of our house.

"I drive!" My brother says and jumps onto the driver's seat of the car.

"No fair!" I pout "you drove last time"

"I know! But i'm fifteen minutes and forty three seconds earlier than you and i'm a guy"

"That's a sexist comment!" I remark and I get inside the passenger's seat.

He starts the car and we drive to Divergent High.
