Chapter One: New Thoughts for a New Year
The last and final one. On the way towards a final year. This year would be the one to surpass them all, and I had everything. Top of the class, best friends, practically perfect in every way. All I was missing was the boy. After all, what could a princess be without her prince?
I'm not be snotty or self obsessed. Just stating it how it is. And unfortunately, they all believe me to be some self-righteous prudential virgin. How wrong they are. But will they ever see it? Highly unlikely. Maybe that is why I am treated as I am. Maybe Harry isn't the reason why. It is believed me and Harry are actually an item. Another rumor gone awry. Not to say we didn't try, but honestly, it was like dating your brother. The kisses were sloppy and greedily pressed upon my lips. I don't want that. If I wanted that, I'd have stuck with Ron. I want the passion, the fire! I want to feel how badly they need me through a simple touch. Not even a long kiss, but a simple stroke a of a lip upon my own. Sucks to be me though. Boys will never kiss like that. Their brains are too full of lustful thoughts, not the love and tenderness I wish to possess. Not to say a good romp in the sac isn't delicious, because it can be. Just, some days you need more than lustful sex. You need a connection. This is where he came in.
He waltzed into my compartment like he owned the damn place. That signature grin plastered along his pretty little face. I could have jumped him there. I think he knew it too. In all the years I had known him, a spark had always been there. But alas, what would people say if they heard about us? But in truth, would we really care? It makes sense right, fits all the cliches. Supposed "good girl" falls for the delirious "bad boy." How great, just what I need, my life to be some cheesy love story. How about not? He just sat down and stared. His eyes staring into my own made me feel as if he could read my every thought, divulge into every crevice of my mind. Not something I would like to have him do at the moment.
"And why pry tell has you thinking so deeply before the hell has even started?" He smiles, not smirked, but actually smiled at me. How would I answer that? Thinking about how cliche it would be for us to hook up, or should I say how hard I wish to fuck him? Or maybe ask if he could make my heart melt with one simple kiss. I just sat and looked back at him. Maybe if I don't answer he'll go back to where he came from. A girl can wish, can't she?
"I asked you a question, it would look daft of you not to answer the bloody thing." He snapped. Okay, what do I say?
"Sorry, just thinking about some things. I would love to tell you, really, but I have a feeling none of it concerns you. And, when pertaining to a conversation with you, your on a need to know basis. And face it, you really don't need to know." Okay, maybe I said the wrong thing, but he didn't have to look at me like I had grown another head while sitting next to him!
"You do know you are an odd one, right? I mean honestly, I asked a simple question. I know we aren't friends or even civil to each other most times, but it's not like I asked you how you plan to defeat the Dark Lord." His answer was bluntly put, so I decided to respond back.
"Maybe your right. I don't know. I guess I know you don't care. More than likely whatever I say can and will be used as some sort of torture in the future, and I guess I'd prefer not to insinuate anything new. You seem to be a semi-smart person, so I figure you can create your own insults and not quote me on anything." With that I stood up and walked away. Maybe this year would bring along something new after all. Maybe not the love of my life, maybe not There will always be a time to find my prince, if he even exists.
I decided to find Harry and Ron before we were finally back to school. The golden trio united, whoop-ti-do. In my opinion, we all lost touch years ago. I think we more or less stick around each other because its what we have always done. After I dated them both, things changed. I guess that's why you leave your friends alone when choosing a boyfriend. Too bad I learned a little too late. Either way they were there. i figured I might start a new with something old.
A/N: For those of you reading my other story 'Can She Fall for Me', it is one a temporary hiatus. I bought a new computer, so this one doesn't have my story on it yet. When I transfer the copy over, I will continue with it. Fir now, I will be posting to this story. Hope you enjoy.
