Okay, as promised here it is. I'll work on the next chapter and have it up as fast as I can.

I own nothing related to Divergent or anything. I only own my own characters.

The sway of her hips had her mesmerized. There was no way that she could look away. Ramona gripped the edge of the table in a last ditch effort to control her emotions. It was as if she knew the effect she had on Ramona and only did it to get a rise out of her.

Jeanine Matthews slowly made her rounds around the classroom aisles as the transfers worked on their latest assignment. She rarely interrupted classes but when she had peered into the room she had caught the eye of a certain transfer that had made quite an impression.

She made sure to make as much noise as possible as she entered the room and all of the transfers looked at her with a certain awe and respect. All except one. Ramona's mismatched eyes had averted Jeanine's gaze.

Jeanine stopped behind Ramona's chair, she could see the slight tremor in the young girl's hands. She thought about getting closer to see her reaction but the hand tremors had been enough. Jeanine smirked knowingly and left the classroom without a word.

Ramona was staring at the office door debating to knock or just leave. She had time to change her mind if she wanted.

Before she had the chance to scurry away the door swung open to reveal Jeanine Matthews on the other side.

"You've been standing there far too long." A smirk filled her face. "Come in Miss Mason."

Ramona stood there gawking for a few moments before following Jeanine into the office. She took the seat offered to her.

"I must admit I was convinced you had decided to not show up. I'm very glad you proved me wrong." She sat along the edge of her desk giving Ramona a small glimpse of her toned thigh.

"I would never disappoint Miss Matthews." Her voice came out shakily.

Jeanine smiled lightly as she reached for a wrapped package. "This is for you."

With shaking hands Ramona took the package and carefully unwrapped it. A leather bound book lay in her hands.

"I heard you have a certain love for literature and calligraphy. I thought you could use a nice journal to write everything you desire." The sincerity in Jeanine's voice made Ramona look her in the eyes.

Gray eyes met blue-brown eyes. A barely noticeable gasp was heard but neither knew who had been the culprit.

"Miss Matthews, thank you so much. You really didn't have to." Ramona watched as she straightened up and went to pour them refreshments.

"But I did. Anyways, it was the only way to get you to come to my office." A tall glass of water was handed to her. "I didn't want to push you but it seems every time we cross paths you make it your mission to hide behind others or completely disappear. Now, why is that?"

Ramona grasped her cup tightly. "I'm sorry if I offended you in any way Miss Matthews, it wasn't my intention. But I assure you that I never hid or disappeared."

"Two years."

"I'm sorry?"

"You've been in Erudite for two years and today is the only time we've had a conversation. I've talked to each and every one of the transfers from your year. Are you trying to tell me that you haven't been avoiding me?" Jeanine got a thrill out of watching Ramona squirm in her seat.

"Of course not-"

"So you were avoiding me?" Ramona's eyes widened at the question.

"No! I must have had some important matters to tend to, that's it."

"More important than meeting with the leader of Erudite?" Jeanine let the question sink in. "I find that hard to believe."

Ramona shook her head nervously. "I'm sorry Miss Matthews."

"Fine. Come work with me." She almost laughed at the way Ramona's head snapped up to look at her. "By my personal assistant and I'll forget about you avoiding me."

The tension in the room was palpable. As Ramona grasped the glass cup tighter it instantly shattered in her hand. The sound caused both of them to jump. She let the broken pieces fall to the ground. A small jagged piece slicing her hand open.

"Ouch." It came out as a whisper. The pain hadn't even registered until Jeanine pulled her up and led her into her personal bathroom.

Their close proximity pulled Ramona out of her haze. From here she could see the light freckles sprinkled over her nose, barely noticeable, the way her lips opened slightly as she concentrated on Ramona's injured hand.

"You're staring." Ramona quickly averted her eyes as Jeanine smirked. "Does this hurt?" Ramona shook her head furiously.

She watched as the greatly respected and feared Erudite leader cleaned the wound trying hard to not cause her pain.

"It looks pretty deep, you'll need some sutures. I have a medical kit if you would like for me to take care of that for you?" She gave her a questioning look.

"Oh, yes. Thank you." Jeanine motioned for her to sit on the marble counter as she laid out her materials. "I'm sorry for breaking your cup. And I'm sorry for dripping blood around your office."

Jeanine let out a sincere laugh. "You're fine. Although, if you didn't want to take the job you could have just told me."

"It's not-" Ramona stopped and gulped as Jeanine positioned herself in between her legs so casually. "It's not that. I would be honored Miss Matthews but I'm sure there are other people who are far more qualified-"

"There are. They're also very eager to take the position. But I want you." Jeanine carefully applied a numbing agent and started her sutures.

They fell into a comfortable silence. Ramona's hand cradled in Jeanine's left as she stitched with her right.

Before they knew it she was snipping the last part and covering the wound.

"You'll need to keep it clean. Come see me in ten days and I'll take them out." Something sparked inside of Jeanine and she inched closer to Ramona. She placed her hands on either side of Ramona's thighs, trapping her. "Unless, of course, you're planning to avoid me for another two years. Then I would suggest having someone else do it for you."

Ramona looked away shyly. "I'm sorry, really." She straightened her posture, their faces inches from each other. "I accept your job offer Miss Matthews."

Jeanine backed away quickly, a big smile on her face. "Good. Then I'll see you here tomorrow morning. 7 am, don't be late."

She followed her back to the office and picked up her journal. "Thank you again for the gift, Miss Matthews. I loved it."

"It was my pleasure. Have a nice night Ramona, enjoy the rest of your birthday." The way her name rolled off her tongue nearly made Ramona explode.

"Thank you. I'm looking forward to working with you. Goodnight, Jeanine." As the door closed Ramona let out a loud sigh.

On the other side Jeanine sat in her chair and pulled out a file. Mismatched eyes stared back at her. The young girl's aptitude test results had looked normal firsthand but the way she had reacted to further tests had left doubts.

If she was divergent it would be better to keep her close by. She wasn't naive, she knew the girl was hiding something from her. The only thing she needed was to find out what.

Okay, well, I should apologize if it was bad. Sorry. There. Now I don't know when the next will be up but just know that I am working on it. So, hopefully soon it'll be up.
