a dauntless love

chapter 7

Tris POV:

Why is Jeanine Mathews in my apartment? What could she possibly want? What if she's found out Im divergent? No, there isn't any proof. "can I help you?" I say raising my eyebrows at Jeanine, "I just want to have a little chat with you, and since you've brought along Four, he can join us" she says menacingly, a calculative look in her eyes as though she is playing a game of chess, working out our next move. Hesitantly I nod, motioning for her to follow me into the living room. We sit down and she instantly gets to the point, "I came here looking for you, with some ... friends ..." as she says 'friends' thee tall, muscular body guards emerge from the front door. "is that why you trashed my apartment" I ask a little more annoyed than I meant to let on, she sighs, "my apologies for the rudeness of my body guards, but it has come to my attention that you have been keeping something from me", "and what might that be?" I ask as calmly as possible, I notice Tobias shifting in his seat, he doesn't know Im divergent, but he must have his suspicions because he seems just as tense or even more tense than I am. Jeanine simply replies with "I think you know what I'm talking about" a little voice in my head yells to me 'PLAY DUMB' so out of pure instinct, I do; "no actually I don't, what are you referring to?" I State blankly, "You aptitude results, what were they again?" She asks sarcastically, I know exactly what she means, she knows Im divergent but she cant do anything about it right now though and I don't know why. "abnegation" again plainly saying it like its fact, "well, then why did you chose dauntless if you knew that you were meant for abnegation?" did she really just ask that? The audacity! Im now furious and its taking all my will power not to punch her in the face. "because, is it not our chose on choosing day to make our own decision? And if thats so, I shouldn't have to choose what the test tells me. I didn't and still don't believe I belong in abnegation, dauntless is my home now and I don't see why that is a problem." I reply, I can feel my face getting hot. "I see" she says calmly and stands up, and walks out the door, and just before she leaves she adds "I can send someone to clean up your apartment" "that wont be necessary" I say coldly, I don't want any help from her, and besides theres no way that she would ever do something out of the kindness of her hart, she was probably looking for something and didn't find it. With that she's gone, with her body guards trailing off behind her. I walk back into the living room, and see Tobias staring at the ground, I almost forgot he was here he had been so quiet. Why did Jeanine want him to hear that conversation? I have so meany questions. "what was her problem" he says still staring blankly at the floor, "she knows..." I trail off, should I tell him? Would he dob me into dauntless leadership? Is this a good idea? "I can tell that, but what doe she want with you?" He adds "how do you..." I get cut off by him looking me deep in the eyes and says "I'm not an idiot Tris" now Im looking at the ground, but I can still feel him staring at me. "she's going to come back, isn't she?" I say, not so much asking. "probably" is all he can say. I look over to the clock that is still intact, my lunch break was over five minutes ago! "look, we can talk about this later, but right now Im late for work and I don't want to give the wrong impression on my first day" he nods and we walk out in silence. He goes off to the control room and I go back to the tattoo parlour. The rest of the day is a blur, and all I can think about it what happened today. This morning I sore jeanine talking to Eric, she then turned up at my apartment and everything was Brocken and throne around the rooms. She knows. Tobias knows. And if jeanine knows then Eric probably knows. I am doomed
