[10] L.L.

i woke up blinking in the sunlight.

"Good morning sleeping beauty!" i heard someone say, loudly.

"Oh morning Lena... you ready for breakfast already?" i asked.

"Well, i was gonna go meet up with Laiken, but i- i can wait for you."

"No, it's okay. Go, get lost."

"You sure you'll be fine?" she asked with a concerned look on her face.

"Yes. I'll be fine. I swear!" Even though my gut was wrapping itself tighter and tighter. i put a smile on my face. Luckily she bought my lie and with a smile she left. i fell back into my pillow. Finally after wallowing in self pity for about three minutes, i got up and put on my Hufflepuff robe and left the room. As i approached the common room i heard the unmistakeable laughs of Lena and Laiken.

"Crap! If they see me i'm toast." i thought. i grabbed a random cloak and put it up with the hood up and sneaked past them. They were too busy snogging to notice me. i started walking down the corridor. My head was flooded with thoughts: Why did the fight happen? Why does Cassi seem distant? Why me? Why is Blaize suddenly acting nice to me?

i was so deep in thought that i didn't hear the person calling my name. i was tapped on the shoulder and screamed. i turned around to see who it was.

"Why in Merlin's name did you do that? You scared the living daylights out of me!"

"Sorry i tried to call you..."

"i didn't hear you... i was busy. What do you want?" i tried my best to scowl at him.

"i wanted to apologize for last night for whatever i did to offend you..."

"For whatever you did to offend me? Why apologize if aren't even sorry." i started walking, leaving him behind.

"Wait Lilli! Please tell me what i did."

i turned around to face him.

"You fought with Draco! You pulled your wand on him!"

His face was frozen in shock.

"i... did... that?"

"Yes! You! You ruined the party and you lied to me!"

"Why would i lie to you? That would be the one thing i would not do."

"And yet you did!"

"Lilli please i'm telling you the truth."

"Ah cut the bull shit Seamus!" i walked up to him and slapped him, hard. He just stood there with a shocked expression on his face.

"You know something Seamus... right now i'd rather be snogging Blaize than be anywhere near you!"

i saw a tear fall from his eye. i made ego obsessed Seamus cry. With one last glance, i ran off to the great hall ignoring the looks i was recieving.
