TRIS

Groaning as I drag myself out of bed, I suddenly realize that today is the first day of school. The start of junior year at my new school, Divergent High, in Chicago. I'm ready for a clean slate. Life back in Portland was all I've ever known, and now it's time for something different.

My family is my life. My parents have given me everything, and for that I'm completely grateful. Although they both have to travel a ton for work, they still try to make it home as much as they can. When they're not home, my brother Caleb acts like my third parent. He's only 14 months older than me, although he may as well be 20 years older. But as soon as Mom and Dad walk through the door, Caleb returns to the goofy and slightly obnoxious brother I grew up with.

Walking into my closet, I pick out a pair of black skinny jeans, a grey t-shirt with rolled up sleeves, and a pair of greenish Birkenstocks.

Then I move to the bathroom, where I put in my contacts, wash my face, and apply moisturizer. For makeup, I just do a bit of foundation and concealer, put a light-peachy color on my eyelids, blush, of course, mascara, and I finish it off with a tinted lip balm. Running my fingers through my long, straight hair, I mess around with my part for a few seconds before just throwing it back and calling it good.

"Bea! I'm leaving! You're taking too long!" Caleb calls from downstairs. Rushing back into my room, I grab a gold Kendra Scott necklace and a couple blue Pura Vida bracelets from my mess of a jewelry display on my nightstand. Once I'm downstairs, I see that Caleb actually left, being the super-smartypants he is, wanting to get a head start on his classes.

I grab a blueberry muffin, my phone, and my backpack and head out to my fire sensible, yet fashionable Jeep, one of the perks of having rich parents. Okay, it's mostly fashionable. Once I'm in my car I plug my phone in and turn on one of my favorite songs, Blank Space by Taylor Swift.

Nice to meet you, where you been?
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
Oh my God, look at that face
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?

New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny, rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name
