Chapter 2:
We finally arrived at erudite headquarters, I'm surprised my heart is still working its beating so fast. Every time I look over at Jeanine who is sitting next to me she quickly turns her head away, concluding my thoughts that she was staring at me.
"The guided tour is probably over so I'll show you around."
Of course.
To be honest I really wanted my own space to soak in all that has happened today, but she won't leave me alone. Does that mean she feels the same way?
When Jeanine finishes the tour she turns to me, pauses and just stares right at me.
Make conversation you fool.
" Are you alright Mrs. Mathews?"
"Ms. Mathews" She corrected "But call me Jeanine"
She smirks, her eyes full of lust.
Am I just imagining that she has lust in her eyes, or is she flirting with me?
She continued the conversation with small talk and then I headed to my room, feeling like I could breathe normally again. Fuck. What is happening to me?
When I was in the quiet of my crystal blue and pure white room I decided to way out my pros and cons of what the hell is going on.
Pros:
She is beautiful
She seems to be flirting with me
I have all the symptoms of love around her
I really want to kiss her…(this can be debated)
Cons:
She is so much older than me
She probably isn't interested
She is my leader and authority figure
If anyone found out we would both be screwed
I'm probably making this all up in my head
She probably doesn't love me like I love her
What if I freak out if something sexual happens
Am I even a lesbian? Or is it just her?
Ok defiantly more cons than pros so ill just leave it until she does something… if she even does anything that is.
Caleb walks into my room.
"I saw you walking around with Jeanine Mathews is everything alright?"
" Yeah don't worry "
"Well come on its dinner we have to go to the cafeteria."
The cafeteria looks unusually clean, but then again so does all of erudite. I sit down with Caleb and some of his new friends. I look around the big area full of buzzing teenagers as I look up I notice a room that has full length windows instead of walls looking over the cafeteria. As I stare in wonder I hear a voice that breaks me out of a trance.
" That's Jeanine's office " This was Caleb's friend Alex.
"Oh" I brush off the topic smoothly as I don't want to think about it at the moment.
I eat my pancakes and blueberries for dessert and sit in silence as others talk around me. I feel someone grab my shoulder I assume its Caleb as he just went to the bathroom. It wasn't. It was Jeanine. Everyone goes silent, my heart starts to race and I feel sick.
" I hope everyone is enjoying dessert, after you have finished you are all to attend your first class, with me" as she says this she looks down at me and smirks, she is mocking me I know it.
