Tabitha wakes up the next morning feeling oddly good about herself, and had another odd thought that even though this year she has many classes with Draco, they may be a lot nicer than usual. While on her way down to breakfast she runs into Isaac.

"I have so much to tell you!" she says pulling him over into a corner. This however, gives Isaac so much false hope, it already ruins his day. "So, last night Draco said he wanted to talk to me… and he kissed me! Well, on the cheek, but it still counts! It still counts doesn't it?" Tabitha tells him with the biggest grin he has ever seen on her face.

"Of course it still counts," Isaac says with no enthusiasm in his voice. "But, what about Jack?"

"Oh, Jack, I mean he really likes Carly, and have you seen her? I'm nothing compared to her! So, why should I even try?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I've got to go," Isaac said going out to look for Jack, because if he couldn't date Tabitha, then he wanted it to be Jack.

"Jack, have you talked to Tabitha recently?" he asked him after breakfast when they were on their way to their first class of the year, which was Potions.

"Nope, why?"

"She kissed Draco last night…"

"She what? Why would she do that?" Jack asked showing so much hurt in his voice that it was scary.

"Because she thinks that she has no chance with you and is tired of waiting for a guy like you!" now the hurt has moved from Jack to Isaac.

"She has so much chance with me, it's not even funny! Isaac, what am I going to do about this? She obviously likes Draco now and I'm yesterday's news."

When Isaac and Jack sit down they see that Tabitha is sitting by herself obviously waiting for Draco to show up and plop down next to her. Only, when he comes in he glances at Tabitha, blushes the tiniest bit, and goes to sit next to Pansy. Tabitha, being heart broken, just sits there in shock, because she honestly thought that he cared about her, she couldn't have been more wrong.

On the other hand, it took everything in Draco's power to just walk past her and leave her alone and go sit next to Pansy. Oh, how he hates Pansy, he finds her to be the most annoying girl on the planet, and she is still obsessed with him. Draco just wants to go over and sit with Tabitha, but he could never do that, he could never risk his social status.

"I'm going to go and make my move," Jack tells Isaac as he slides out of his seat.

"Wouldn't it be a good idea to first break up with Carly?" Isaac asks trying to save him as much time as possible to try and get Tabitha to like him.

"Oh, right, good idea," Jack responds and goes to sit next to Carly. Isaac takes this as his one and only chance and he's not going to blow it.

"Hey, is this seat taken?" he asks the green eyed girl that he was dying to snog.

"Nope, not anymore," Tabitha responds looking at Draco awkwardly laugh at something Pansy said which she can tell wasn't funny even in the slightest bit.

"Okay, great. So, I've been thinking…"

"About?" Tab asks him when his voice trails off.

"About you, I was wondering if you'd like to meet me down by the lake later tonight. We haven't had a one on one conversation in ages," this was Isaacs's way of asking her out when it really wasn't going to be a date.

"I'd love to," she responds, not making eye contact with him though. She was still looking off at Draco and Pansy.

"Hey, Carly, I think we need to talk," Jack says once he reaches the table where Carly is at. She was by herself too, only she knew that someone would come and sit next to her.

"Sure, babe, what's on your mind?" she asks him trying to kiss him, but he moves his head so she only kisses his cheek.

"I'm just going to come right out and say it, Carly. I think we need to break up."

"What? You're breaking up with me?" she screams as she stands up and draws the attention of everyone in the room. "I cannot believe you! I'm not letting you do this to me! I'm the one who breaks up with you! Not the other way around! I've never been broken up with before!"

"Well, Carly, there's a first time for everything," Jack says nonchalantly and turns to face the front of the class. Carly lets out a scream and runs out of the room with make up running down her cheeks.

The rest of the day goes about with nothing out of the ordinary happening, and soon enough classes for the day have ended and it's now up to the students to decide what they would like to do with their free time. Many go and do their homework and study, but Tabitha has never been one to do that, she always get through her homework extremely fast and it makes life nice because she then gets to relax. It also helps that she is very good in all of her classes and understands everything that is going on in them.

With evening approaching, Tabitha remembers that she said she was going to meet Isaac by the lake, there was no set time, but sun set seemed to be a pretty decent guess. She was right, too. When she had gotten to the lake she saw the back of Isaac's head and it made her happy to see him so calm.

"Hey stranger," someone said behind Tabitha as she walked up to Isaac. She turned around only to find Draco Malfoy with his arms folded across his chest and leaning up against a tree.

"Excuse me?" she asked him while running up to him. "What makes you think that you can kiss me on the cheek and then totally ignore me all day?" she asked him with fury in her voice.

"This does," he tells her right before he kisses her. Much to his surprise she actually kissed him back.

"You… you have a girlfriend. I mean, I know I hate her, but I would never do this to anyone." Tabitha told Draco as she slowly started to walk away.

"I broke up with her, you know?" Draco yells to her. "I did during lunch. I've been trying to find you since then. Looks like you just got away from me until now."

"Promise to me that you broke up with her?" Tabitha calls to Draco who is at the bottom of the hill she is standing on.

"Promise."

"Well then, get up here! I'm sure there's something to do in this school!" she tells him and he starts to walk up the hill. They go into the school together, not realizing that Isaac was there to watch the whole thing.
