They got away with it yet again, when every Hufflepuff was sleeping -Or at least they were in their beds and not in the common room- Cress helped Thorne to sneak out.

When Cress was walking down the hallway when she saw Thorne. He stood next to Jacin, Jacin was Thorne's only friend in Slytherin. Cress started walking past them.

"Hey Cress! Do you want to do homework in the library together later?" Thorne asked her. She felt butterflies in her stomach. Lately Cress had been having a lot of trouble with acting normal around him, so she mostly tried to avoid him. She stopped, and turned around. Thorne was leaning against the wall, and he had his signature smirk on his face. She felt a blush coming, she scolded herself for blushing so easily.

"Yeah, of course," she answered and managed to look him in the eyes for half a second before turning around and continue walking.

"See you then!" he shouted after her.

"Yeah!" she yelled back. She crushed the giddy smile that was spreading across her face, the smile that felt so wrong! He was her bestfriend! However she couldn't crush the smile or the crush she was having on him, she was spending her whole afternoon with Thorne! In addition to all the chaos these feelings were causing she was panicking, she was panicking because she was falling for Thorne and she was falling hard. Just as hard as when she had tried out for the quidditch team. Thorne had helped training her, so that she could join the Hufflepuff quidditch team. Cress didn't really like the idea, but she did it anyways. What was the worst that could happen? Well, although what happened wasn't really the worst thing that could have happened, it was really bad.

Trying out for the quidditch team had been Thorne's idea. Today was the day when Cress would try out for the Hufflepuff quidditch team. She had to admit that she wasn't really the best at controlling the broom, but she was alright. In addition to that she wasn't really that great at quidditch in general. Despite all of her excuses for not trying out, Thorne had told her it would be fun and had convinced her in the end. She wrapped her fingers around the broomstick and held on to it firmly she pushed her feet off the ground and flew up into the air. The warm wind blew through her hair, it felt amazing. Suddenly the wind grew stronger and she had trouble keeping control over her broomstick, and before she could even let out a scream she was plummeting towards the ground. She hit the ground with a loud thud. Cress felt an awful ache in the back of her head, she lifted her hand carefully up to the injury. It hurt when she touched it, she felt the wetness of blood. Oh stars, she was bleeding. She tried pushing herself into a sitting position, Cress moaned, she felt excruciating pain in her leg and lay down again carefully so she wouldn't hurt her head, and make that worse. She saw people rushing towards her to help including Thorne, who had been watching which wasn't exactly something her classmates had been happy about. She felt tears stinging in her eyes, because of the pain her leg injury was causing.

"Cress are you okay?!" Thorne asked her in a worried tone.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she gasped.

"Stars above! Cress your leg!". Cress looked at her leg, the sight that greeted her was not pleasant. There was a lot of blood and her bone jutted out of her leg. Cress couldn't handle the sight, her vision went black. She fainted.

After the incident that resulted in a minor head injury and a broken leg. Cress didn't make the team, and she hadn't flied on any brooms since then. Cress wasn't sure how much longer she could keep doing this, pretending that everything was completely normal when it obviously wasn't. She knew that she had to tell Thorne how she felt, eventually she would. For the time being Cress didn't have the courage to do so.

Author's note: I'm sorry that this update took a while, but I was abroad and didn't have my laptop with me.. I could have written it faster, but I started watching Miraculous Ladybug. Then I finished it(well at least all the episodes that have been aired so far), and I've just kind of been fangirling and been busy with being Miraculous Ladybug trash the past two days... Sorry :P
