Chapter 2: Glittering Emeralds
"Harry, are you alright?" she asked. If she weren't looking at the door for a sign of the git's slimy blonde head the whole time, I would have almost believed that she cared.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said as she helped me up.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm sure." I took one last look at her distracted eyes before I sighed and said, "You should go after him."
She turned and stared at me in surprise. I stared back until she finally looked down.
"I know." I stared at her as her tortured eyes betrayed the struggle she was losing in her mind. She finally closed them in surrender.
"Damn it," she muttered under her breath. And then she ran.
