Prompt: Apprehensive / A face lost in the crowd
Pairing: Fred/Katie
A/N: Forgive me, it isn't beta'd since I'm so impatient so if you see any mistakes please let me know. Jeez it's been awhile since I wrote. Apprehensive was the first word the 26 Prompt Challenge for I'll try to get this updated pretty often but seeing as how I'm doing a million other things at the mo' I make no promises.
Apprehensive
Everybody knew him. He was the school jokester, alongside his brother. He was the dreams of many of the girls here, with his fiery-orange hair and oh-so-perfect smile he always wore; it was a wonder why on Earth he'd pick you. No doubt he could have practically anybody.
But then there's you. You're awkward and shy. You're the one whose shoulder people cry on after he's turned them down. There's someone else he's always say. And even though you know you shouldn't, you can't help but hope. Wish. But he could be talking about anybody. There were plenty of girls prettier and bolder than you. You're just a face lost in the crowd. There was nothing special about you.
You're apprehensive; you imagine all the things that could go wrong. He could've changed his mind about you, he could've moved on and found someone else, God knows he's the dream guys of many around here. He could have just given up because he got fed up waiting on you because you're so damn careful.
When he asked you to Hogsmead, you're heart felt as if it was about to burst with happiness. But just as quickly, you think about the all the what-if's. This was what you wanted, wasn't it?
Why couldn't you just be happy?
