Okay, this is a oneshot, unless of course you guys want more. If you do, then I will write a full fic for this. But I have had a few people ask for Nikki to be in Dauntless so here it is! I hope you all enjoy! This is my special gift to you all for being such amazing readers and friends, everyone is so sweet and nice and I really hope you guys like this!

This is an AU of Divergent, no war, Nikki's life in Dauntless. Here we are. Review because that will determine if I want to make this an entire story.

I don't own Divergent or it's characters...except these OC are mine.

So keep in mind that they never knew that Tobias wasn't an actual Divergent since they don't discover that until Allegiant.

Nicola POV

Age: 15

I turn the corner and walk to class with Willow, who is currently screaming loudly in my ear about the fight she had with her mother yesterday. I push past a few Erudite who slam into me with their shoulders, I fight the urge to make their eye match those ugly blue shirts. Willow snickers, "don't they know that you could easily knock them out, Nikki?"

I shrug, "I swear those Erudite know-it-alls are going to get me in trouble." Willow pulls me in a direction opposite of my class, "Willow, we have to get to class. You and I are going to get into serious trouble if we are late to class, again."

"Fine, we will go at lunch. I saw a boy staring at you last period. Stop being a pansycake and talk to him!"

"First of all, stop trying to make pansycake work. Uncle Uriah will not convince me to say it, I don't even know how he got you to start saying it, and you're his daughter. And, I'm not interested, Willow. Besides, if he found out my father was Four I bet he would never even glance at me anyway. Daddy is scary, people find out that Four and Tris are my parents and immediately show caution around me. Plus, I don't like anyone." I walk into class and set my things down on the table.

Willow bites her nails, "well you have to like someone, Nikki."

I sigh, and sit in my seat, Cam sits behind me, "good morning, Nicola. Is my girlfriend bothering you?"

"No, just being her usual self." I try to balance my pencil on the edge of my book and it falls down onto the floor. I reach over and grab it at the same time as someone else, a hand passes me my pencil, "thank..." I stare into a pair of chocolate brown eyes, "you." I manage to finish.

"Don't mention it." He smiles and shakes his head slightly, brushing the hair out of his eyes.

"What is your name?" I ask. Why am I asking? He has been in class with me for the past month since school started, and yet I have no idea what his name is.

"Jax, what is yours?"

"Nicola, but my friends call me Nikki."

"I like Nicola."

I blush and bite my lip, looking down. How come I didn't notice him before? I look over to see him still staring at me, I look him over and my heart stops.

Jax is Amity.

His shirt, while not the usual blinding yellow, it's dull red screams Amity. I sink into my seat and watch the teacher begin class. The whole time I steal quick glances at this boy, wondering how a girl of courage is supposed to be friends with a boy of peace. Let alone us having anything more.

Wait? What am I doing? All I did was say hello and get his name. He was just being Amity, kind and peaceful. There wasn't anything more to it. I bite my lip and pretend to pay attention to the teacher, which gets increasingly harder because I can feel those warm brown eyes staring at me. Finally, I give in and turn my head to see Jax's broad grin at me, I shyly look down and smile. A boy hasn't ever really caught my attention before, because all the boys in Dauntless are either much to humorous, it's as if they can't be serious. Or the boys are like Eric, they are too serious. Sadistic at some points, I just want a boy that is funny when it's the right time, but serious when things get hard. One who is sweet and kind, but strong and brave. Gentle and loving, yet concerned and honest. Someone like Daddy.

The bell rings and I take my time packing up, secretly hoping Jax will say something to me. Willow stands waiting for me, "hurry up. You are taking forever."

I look up, "just go to lunch with Cam and save me a seat, I need to take care of something."

Willow contemplates this, "okay, but if you aren't there in five I am dragging you to lunch." She turns without a second thought her blonde hair a blur. I kind of deliberately 'drop' my book. Jax picks it up and hands it to me again, "thank you, again." His hand brushes mine, and I feel my heartbeat in my whole body. Was this what it felt like when my parents met?

Just friends, I remind myself. Just friends.

"Don't mention it, Nicola."

I glance around to make sure no one is watching this exchange, it's kind of a taboo to speak to someone outside your faction, unless it's name calling. Which I don't do, mainly because my parents were from Abnegation and my Uncle is in Erudite. Although, those Erudites push my patience more often than not. Jax frowns, "you have beautiful eyes."

I blink a few times, "thank you." What is he doing? Flirting with me, knowing that I am Dauntless? I'm sure there is some kind of rule against this very conversation. Although, the gesture was sweet. "I should head to lunch, I don't want my friends to get worried."

"As do I. It was nice meeting you Nicola."

"It was nice to meet you too, Jax."

"The pleasure was all mine." He gives me this soft sweet smile, turns, and walks away.

I stand there, replaying what just happened, until Willow finds me and drags me to lunch.

Jax and Nicola. Nicola and Jax, I toss his name around my head as I sit at lunch with my friends. Willow shakes me, "huh?"

"What is up with you? You have been spaced out since last period."

"Nothing, just tired."

"That's impossible, you were fine this morning."

"Willow just let it go," I snap.

Willow stares at me, "you have never, ever, snapped at me. What's going on?"

"Willow..." I warn and take a bite into my muffin.

"Nicola Beatrice, you are going to tell me what is going on. You are always nice, you are always calm. You just lost your cool, and I have known you since we were bouncing around in our mother's tummies."

I pull her to me and cover her ear so no one can try to decipher my words, "I met a boy."

Willow begins to let out a scream and I cover her mouth. She pries my hand free, "when? I have been with you since we got on the trains to get to school this morning."

"You know the boy who sat next to me?" I ask.

Willow closes her eyes, trying to recall who was next to me, "oh boy in red?"

"Jax, his name is Jax."

"Nikki, I don't think that's allowed."

"What?" I cross my arms, "I just said I met him. Not I like him."

Willow's jaw drops, "oh my, you like him!"

"If you don't keep it down, I will sew your lips shut myself."

Willow murmurs a sorry and looks across the tables to find where the Amity are usually singing and strumming a banjo or whatever it is they do over there, "that one?" She points to Jax.

I nod, Willow smiles, "he is cute."

"Willow, don't tell anyone."

"I would never tell anyone, Nikki. We are best friends."

I stay quiet for the rest of lunch, taking glances at Jax through out the time. As I walk through the halls to class, I try to remember if I have any other classes with Jax. I sit down on top of my desk and watch everyone fill in the classroom. I watch every Amity that steps through the door, after a few minutes I give up and rest my chin in my hand and kick my feet back and forth staring out the window.

"I hate this class."

I whip my head around to see Jax sitting down at the desk next to me, I smile, "yeah, it's awful."

Class begins, I slide into my desk and communicate with Jax through a serious of almost silent remarks in response to our teacher's lectures. My teacher appears out of nowhere, literally I have no idea where he came from. "If the two of you want to talk during class, you won't mind staying after school?"

"No sir," I frown. I am in so much trouble, Mom is going to be angry, Daddy won't be happy either. I slink further into my seat, everyone's eyes on me. Everyone is probably wondering what a girl from Dauntless is doing talking to a boy from Amity.

There goes my attempt and not breaking any social rules against fraternizing with other factions.

I stay silent for the rest of class.

Willow begins to drag me to the trains, "I have to stay after school."

"Why, Nikki?"

"I have to stay for talking during class."

"With who?"

"Jax."

Willow smiles, "I will tell your parents you had something to take care of after school. No details, so you can deal with them asking about why you had to stay. Have fun." She hugs me and heads towards the tracks. I walk up the stairs and into class, where my teacher advises me to take a seat while he takes care of some business for a few minutes. I find Jax sitting there, with an open book.

"Hey, Jax."

"Hello, Nicola."

I put my feet up on the desk in front of me, "sorry, about getting us in trouble."

"It's fine, it's more interesting than being at home."

"What do you do in Amity anyway?"

Jax smiles, "we sing the whole way home, which is embarrassing because I don't sing very well. Then we hang out in the orchards, do our homework outside, go in for dinner, and just spend the evening doing anything from picking apples to playing games outside."

"Sounds boring." I wince as the words fly out my mouth, "sorry, that was offensive."

"No, it is fairly boring. What do you do in Dauntless?"

I break into a huge grin, "well, I go home, tell my parents about my day, then my friends and I go to the Pit and walk around, which is fun in itself. Sometimes we go zip-lining, and occasionally my Uncle Zeke and Uriah will let us into the training room, where the initiates usually are, and we shoot the guns in there."

"That sounds...exciting."

"It is fun and exciting."

Jax smiles at me but stays quiet for a while. "Wouldn't it be nice if we could have this conversation during school?"

"Yes, but that is a big 'if', I think that we might get into some type of trouble for speaking between factions."

Jax winks at me, "well you strike me as a rule breaker, Nicola."

I hardly ever break rules, especially big rules like this. The door opens and our teacher walks inside. I fight off a smile, did he just ask me to have a friendship regardless of our differences?

I look over and Jax gives me one last soul melting smile.

Maybe, it's okay for me to break a few rules.

Review, tell me if you guys want more. I hope this is a good oneshot, I haven't ever written one before. So if you want more, I have more chapters written if, not then it's okay. I still hope you enjoyed it.
