This is a Cornelia/Cedric fic.
I've changed it a bit. Hope you like it!.
What is love?
The lunch bell rang and students rushed into the cafeteria. Will, Irma, Taranee, Cornelia and Hay lin all sat at the bench outside. It was the last day of high school, after this they would all be going to college.
"I can't believe summer holidays are finally here!" cheered Hay lin.
"Well, I can't believe High school went sooo quick" said Irma taking a bite out of her sandwich.
"Yea…we'll be in college soon, with lots of college boys" Cornelia smiled.
"Well I already have a boyfriend and I'm going to keep him" Will replied.
"Ya know we all have boyfriends except for corny…which is kinda weird" Irma looked at Cornelia with a grin.
"For your kind information my name is Cornelia and as for boyfriend, I'm just waiting for the right one".
"You haven't even reached to the 'next level' of any of your relationships, have you?" Hay lin smirked.
Cornelia started to blush, which surprised everyone. Cornelia had always said she will wait until marriage, but they didn't know she was actually serious about it. She was the only one left in their group; even Taranee has reached the 'next level' with Nigel.
"Ok…lets change the subject…so whose looking forward to what they're doing during the holidays?" asked Will.
"I'm gonna be by myself during the whole holidays doing nothing, your all going somewhere" Cornelia moaned.
"Why don't you get a job? Elyon has one" suggested Taranee.
"Working during the holidays…no way and Elyon is only working at the library because she has a crush on that annoying librarian".
"Come to think of it, we haven't seen Elyon much these days have we?" pointed out Taranee. All her friends nodded, as they made their way into the school.
2 hours later, the girls finally came out of school and started walking to the mall as they had planned.
"So when are you guys leaving?" asked Cornelia.
"I'm leaving tomorrow" they all said in unison.
They all looked at each other in surprise.
"What? ...this means this is our last day together…great…just great" Cornelia buried her face in her hands in frustration.
"Cheer up Cornelia it's only the holidays and Elyon is still here" Will smiled at Cornelia.
"Yea I guess you're right, maybe I could plan something with her for tomorrow or something"
"Great, now lets have some fun" Hay lin jumped up and down as the five girls entered the mall.
After hours of shopping, playing at the arcade and eating, all the girls said their goodbyes and left for their homes. As soon as Cornelia reached her house her mobile started ringing.
"Hello?"
"Hey Cornelia it's me Elyon"
"How ya doin?"
"I'm fine; it's just that it's been so long since we hung out together, so you wanna do something tomorrow?"
"Yeh ok great so I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Ok we'll meet at the park at 12, bye"
"See ya"
Cornelia turned off her mobile and went to bed.
The sun shined through Cornelia's bedroom window as she woke up. She got changed and walked down stairs for breakfast. When she had finished, she said good bye to her mum and went out to go to the park. When she got there Elyon was already there sitting on a bench. Cornelia walked over to her.
"Hey"
"Hi Cornelia"
"So…what have you got planned?" asked Cornelia.
"Hm…we could go to the library"
"Elyon, can I ask you something!
"Yea sure"
"What do you see in that librarian, that you spend all your days with him?"
"I don't know it's just he's so nice and understanding… sometimes I feel really lonely and he's always there for me, why'd you ask anyway?"
"Just…are you going out with him?"
"No"
"Have you told him about your feelings towards him?"
"No…Cornelia what's with all these questions, don't you want to do something or do you want to spend all day talking about Cedric" Elyon got up and started walking to the park gates, soon followed by Cornelia.
The next day Elyon had invited her to the library. Even though she didn't want to go because of Cedric, she still agreed since she had nothing better to do. She arrived at the library and looked around for Elyon.
"Hello there how ca…oh it's you…what do you want" Cedric glared at Cornelia.
"You know it's rude to talk to customers like that, you should be kinder and anyway it's none of your business what I'm doing here, so get lost" Cornelia returned the glare.
"Well it's my library so I do have a business here" Cedric replied in a high tone.
Cornelia just ignored the last comment and walked straight past him, but somehow a foot sneaked out in front of her and she fell flat on her face. Cedric burst out laughing when he saw her red nose. Cornelia sat there rubbing her sore nose and giving him an angry stare. Cedric bent down to her level until their faces were inches apart. Cornelia looked at him and could feel his breath on her lips, this made Cornelia really uncomfortable.
"You said to me to be kinder, so I decided why not introduce you to the floor" He smirked.
Fuming Cornelia push Cedric, got up "I'll get you for this" She gave him a death glare before storming out the library.
A minute later Elyon came up to Cedric "Hey Cedric did you see Cornelia come in?"
"Yea, but she just walked out after awhile"
"Weird" Elyon walked outside to phone Cornelia, but there was no answer. So she went back in, hoping she'll come later on.
"How dare he treat me like this" Cornelia sat at the café, taking all her anger out on the poor muffin she had bought.
"How I wish this was Cedric's small brain, so I could squish it in my hand"
She looked at her muffin in a menacing stare as she squashed it in her hands. People started giving her weird looks, but all she did was glare back at them and got up to go home.
For the next few days she spent her time at home. Elyon had called her earlier that day and when Cornelia told her about the library incident, Elyon started to laugh!. Cornelia hasn't spoken to her since that day. She can't understand what Elyon sees in him, he's rude and arrogant and she knows that he's a total playboy. Cornelia had tried to explain to Elyon that he was just using her, but she won't listen.
Anyway, after a few days of cooling down, Cornelia went to the library. She stayed away from Cedric; all she did was sit there and read. She got into this book so much, time seemed to fly by. Cedric didn't know that Cornelia was still in the library so he closed up, but when he switched the lights off he heard a scream. He ran to the direction of the scream and saw a really frightened Cornelia sitting there.
Read and review please!
