"Dauntless High School"

Chapter 1

A/N:Okay so this is my first fanfiction ever. After reading the Divergent series, I fell in love with the Fourtris dynamic so this is a Fourtris story. I've been reading various fanfics for a while now but would find that a lot of AU were unrealistic and the characters were completely different so I have finally talked myself into writing my own. Since this takes place in high school I don't see it being a very long fanfic but if this story goes well I have other ideas for down the road so enough of me and I hope you enjoy the story!

Tris POV

"Sooo what are you wearing to school tomorrow?" Christina asks while I finish getting together my backpack.

"Um I don't know. Probably jeans and a t-shirt. Nothing fancy" I respond casually.

"Jeans and a t-shirt? Seriously?" Christina looks at me with a shocked face. "You can't wear 'jeans and a t-shirt' to your first day of high school Tris! This is a big day and you only get one time for a first impression." Christina continues.

"Why not? They're comfy and it's just high school." I answer still wondering why Christina is looking at me like I'm crazy. It's just high school right?

"No, it isn't just high school!" Christina says almost reading my mind. "You're going to be at this school for four years with a bunch of new people and everything. This is your time to shine and it's supposed to be the time of our lives! Going to parties on weekends and meeting cute boys. Are you not excited?" Christina rants.

"Not really I mean its still school just with different annoying teachers, more homework, with even more slutty girls and horny guys. I'm going to do my time (almost like a jail sentence), graduate, and get out." I reply firmly.

"Fine whatever Tris, but I am not letting you wear jeans and a t-shirt tomorrow. Let's see what's in your closet." Christina announces while getting up from my blue bean bag chair and making her way over to my closet.

"Okay, okay I can work with this" Christina said to herself almost analyzing the contents of my small closet. "Wait where's that gray dress I made you buy in the beginning of summer?" Christina questioned

"That dress is NOT school appropriate Christina! It's so short and I only bought it because it was your birthday and you were going to get upset if I didn't!" I state thinking about the dress.

"Are you kidding Tris? That dress was beautiful on you and I know you didn't just buy it to please me!" She declares. The dress was really pretty and for once I thought I found something that looked nice on me. But I push the thought aside and continue my argument with my very pushy best friend.

"It still wouldn't be appropriate for the first day of school. I don't want my first impression of others be that I'm a slut." I state still staring at Christina.

"Fine. Let me see what else you have. And seriously we are going shopping this weekend. You have no clothes" Christina exaggerates.

I watch her look through my clothes for another few minutes wondering what possibly she is going to find and force me to wear. She is right, I mean I don't have a lot of what she would call 'hot damn' clothes. My style is more of blue denim jeans and a jean shirt or V-neck with converse or vans. I am not fashionable to say the least.

"Okay here's a compromise." Christina announces pulling me out of my thoughts. I look up at what she's holding and see a flowy blue tribal skirt it one hand and a white V-neck in the other. I examine the outfit she has picked out and am surprised to find that I like it. I had never thought about pairing the two articles of clothing together. Maybe that was the cause of me not knowing I owned that skirt. Oh well.

"Okay, okay. I give up. That is cute, you win." I reply with a defeated tone.

"Eekkk! Yay okay! You're going to look so cute" Christina yells with a very excited expression across her face. She hangs the outfit on my door and moves to the bottom of my closet. Probably looking for matching shoes to 'complete' the outfit like she had said before to me many times while shoe shopping. She scurries underneath my hanging clothes desperately trying to find a pair of shoes. She finally pulls out a pair of light brown tie-up pair of combats boots and holds them up in my direction. I give her a slight nod mentally confirming her choice of foot-wear. She sets the boots down by my closet door where my outfit she recently picked out hangs.

"Well now that we have that figured out I think I'm done here." Christina states walking towards my room door. "Remember you're picking me up at 7:50am sharp." She says whilst gathering her jacket. I give her a complaining look. "I know that school doesn't start till 8:30am but I want to have enough time to get there and get our schedules and see everyone that we haven't seen since last year. Maybe meet a few guys!" Christina says with a wink then walks out of my room and leaves. I don't bother walking her out. She's here as much as I am and I swear she knows my house better than I do. I glance over at the outfit hanging on my door once more and feel a weird pan of excitement go through me. Okay maybe I was a little excited about high school. Not the parties or hot boys aspect that Christina was excited about, but more of the new surrounding and people. Who knows maybe this will be my year where I find myself completely.

After contemplating my 'hopes and dreams' for my first year of high school I glance over at my alarm clock and see it's 9:53. I decide to get up and change into my favorite pajama set. I go into my bathroom that's attached to my room, brush my teeth and wash my face. I look into the mirror one last time and then turn the lights off. I head downstairs for my nightly class of water and then head back to my room. I turn my lamp on, turn off my overhead lights and decide to turn on my alarm to 7:00am before I fall asleep. A few minutes later I'm in my own dreams.

_A/N: Okay well that was the first chapter. I hope you liked it. Please review if possible and I'll try to post the next chapter soon with my crazy schedule.
