Chapter five
"STOP! PLEASE GO AWAY!" I shout as tears run down my face. "YOU DON'T LOVE ME SO PLEASE STOP!" I keep yelling I can't control myself " THINK OF OUR AGE DIFFERENCE JEANINE HOW COULD SOMEONE AS SPECIAL AND AMAZING AS YOU LIKE A TEENAGER? THIS IS SO WRONG YOU KNOW IT, THIS HAS MOVED WAY TO FAST HOW DO YOU KNOW YOUR FEELINGS FOR ME IN ONLY LIKE A MONTH AND A HALF, WHY WOULD YOU TELL ME AFTER A WEEK, THIS DOESN'T MAKE SENSE JEANINE!" I stop yelling and just fall to the ground and cry.
"Beatrice, come out of the cubical so we can talk about this."
"There isn't anything to talk about"
"Of course there is…I care about you and I want you to be ok."
"This is insane, you're my teacher."
"Do you want to know what's so special about you Beatrice?"
I don't reply waiting for her to continue.
"It's crazy because I don't even know when you became so important to me and I want to kiss you every minute, every hour every day for the rest of my life, I couldn't imagine my life without you and trust me I have thought that maybe its some stupid crush but its not only because your gorgeous but also because you are so intelligent you could rule the world, you have a kindness that I don't have, you are the perfect person and I would never want to scare you or hurt you and above all things I never want you out of my life, ever."
I slowly walk out of the cubical to see Jeanine leaning on the basin, she looks concerned and I go and stand at the sink next to her and wash my face.
"I'm sorry Jeanine, I'm just so confused I'm not even sure if I really like you or maybe I like the thought of you liking me I'm just not sure."
"That is fine if your unsure, I just want you to know how I feel about you."
She leant over towards me and gave me a soft kiss on my cheek and started to walk out.
"Wait"
She turned back around
"Maybe we just need to spend more time alone together, so I can sort out my feelings."
"What do you suggest?"
"You could tutor me?"
She turns to leave and smirks at me, moved her shoulder sensually and walked out.
I Waited 10 minutes or so before entering back in to the auditorium. Jeanine was on stage.
She was lecturing about divergents.
"The factions system is a living being composed of cells; all of you. And the only way it can survive and thrive is for each of you to claim your rightful place. The future belongs to those who know where they belong. The brilliance of the faction system is the conformity of the faction removes the threat of anyone exercising their independent will. Divergents threaten that system.
I didn't think she hated Divergents so much I could never tell her that I'm one or she would kill me.
