Frozen Heart*Eric/Divergent*

25. Saraphine

I let out a quiet gasp as I opened my eyes, glad to be back to reality

I sat up and glanced at Four who was sitting on the chair in front of me

He gave me a questioning look and started to talk, but the door suddenly opened 

Eric walked in, not even looking in my direction, and stood in front of Four

"Max told me that he wants to discuss something with you."

Four glanced at me and then back at Eric

"I am not done with the initiates"

"He said it doesn't matter. It is important that you go talk with him"

Four sighed and turned to look at me

"You did good." was all he said before leaving

I stood up, and put on my jacket

"Your simulation lasted only three minutes" 

I bit my lip and turned to look at Eric

He was on the computer

I stayed silent

"Five fears."

I scratched the back of my neck, and turned my back at him, reaching for the door knob, in need to be out of that room

I heard him start to say something, but not actually saying it

With a sigh, I opened the door and headed to the dorm

//////////

"Where did you sleep last night?" Lisa asked as she plopped next to me on my bed

"What do you mean?"

She rolled her eyes

"I mean, you never came in here to sleep. So, where were you?"

"I was here." I mumbled

"Look, I know that in Amity we weren't exactly best friends, but admit it, I am the closest person you have here. I know when you're lying to me"

I chuckled "I just couldn't sleep."

"Okay. But I want to tell you this. Someone said they saw you getting into Eric's room last night." she mumbled

"What?"

"Yeah. I don't know who said it, but we all heard it at breakfast. People are saying.." 

I rolled my eyes

"Is something going on between you two?"

"No." I snapped quickly

She sighed "Fine. I think he's really intimidating."

"Yeah"

"I overcame some fears. I have ten now."

I smiled "Good job, flower"

She raised an eyebrow

"Get it? Amity,...flower? No?... Okay" I mumbled as she started laughing

I walked in the old gym and started training on my own since Eric hadn't shown up yet

I took off my jacket and put my hair up in a ponytail

Honestly, I didn't even know if he would come
