Messing with your head chapter 2 A/N: I'm actually really enjoying writing this fic, and I hope you are enjoying reading it! Love you!
DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything you recognise.
"Rosie! Don't wanna be late to brekkie on your first day!" yelled Amelia happily.
"Ok, Am, OK. I quickly brushed my hair in the mirror, smiling as I caught a glimpse of my new necklace and earrings on me, slipped into a tight fitting t-shirt and 3-quarter-length jeans and applied a light coat of mascara.
We left the common room with our other dorm-mates, Claire and Steph, chattering all the way down to the great hall where we ran straight into Scorp.
"Ow, watch it, freaks! Oh, hey Rose! Sorry about that! I see you like the jewellery, good, good. Sorry, gotta run, see you soon babe!" he said.
We walked on, in silence now. We sat down and I grabbed some toast, the warm melting butter instantly making me feel better about him calling us freaks. He hadn't meant it, I told myself. I knew he was prejudiced about Gryffindors, but he had smiled when he had seen me, so it was ok, I guessed.
After a long day of boring classes, I retired to my dorm with the intention of curling up with a book. On my bed was a box of chocolate cauldrons and a note, it read:
Rose, meet me at the whomping willow at 8:30 tonight. Scorp x
I checked my watch, it was 8:00, I had half an hour to get ready.
I checked my watch again, I was 5 minutes late so hurried out of the dorm as quickly as possible and knocked over some first-year with a ton of books in his arms.
"sorry about that, I'm in a real rush. Here I'll help pick these up." I said, bending down to lift his books that had fallen.
"oh it's alright, you don't have to. I'm sure you're off to meet some lucky boyfriend or something. Don't worry about it." he said
"what do you mean by 'some lucky boyfriend'?" I asked
"oh, well it's just that you look like you've put some effort into your outfit, hair etc. and that effort wouldn't be just for the library. Oh and the 'lucky' was saying that whoever you are dating is lucky to have a girlfriend like you." he replied.
"oh, uh thanks. Sorry, err...what's your name?" I said
"Alex. I know yours. Don't ask why, I just do." he said
"ok. Well, sorry, Alex, but I really am late now. And yes, it is to meet my boyfriend. It was...nice...meeting you." I said.
"ok, bye then Rose." he said and I hurried off down the corridor and out through the front doors towards the whomping willow.
I looked around to see if I could find a blonde head of hair anywhere but Scorp was nowhere to be seen. I checked my watch. 8:40. Maybe he's given up waiting on me, I thought, or maybe he's late. I sat down on the grass and waited for another 10 minutes then got up and returned to my dorm with tears pricking in the corners of my eyes.
A/N: well, what did ya think? What do you think of Alex, and why do you think Scorpius stood her up?
Answer in a review plz!
