"The Great Switch Up" Chapter 7: What Am I Supposed To Do?
**************************************************************************** **
"What?" Cindy exclaimed quietly, looking at Tara in disbelief. "Yeah, I think I'm falling for Keith, & nothing I do is stopping it from happening!" Tara cried, getting frustrated. Trying to calm her down, Cindy said, "Alright Tara, quiet down. Now, how has this been happening?" "Man, I don't even know. I mean, I was fine back at home, but now, everything's different; nothing's the same. I mean, I know I'm not falling for Harry, since Keith is Harry, but remember that day we went to Diagon Alley?" Cindy nodded, motioning for her to continue. "Well, I think that's when I realized it. I don't want this to happen, but every time I'm near him, I start to feel light-headed, I feel a jolt every time we touch, & everything else that happens when you feel this way. I can't even start explaining how I feel!" "But this has nothing to do with you walking out of our compartment." Tara looked down, whispering, "Yeah, I know." Cindy bent down to look Tara in the eye & asked, "Then why did you walk out?" "I...I don't know."
Meanwhile, back at the compartment, Harry was close to having a mental breakdown. Ron, thinking smart, shut the door & put on some Silencing Charms, then asked, "Keith, what's wrong?" "What's wrong?! I'll tell you what's wrong! I just caused Tara to run out of here & there's nothing I can do about it!" "Look Keith, she probably just got-." "Got what, Sam? Scared? Oh, that makes me feel so much better!" Sam walked over to Keith & placed a hand on his shoulder. "Keith, calm down; it's not your fault." Keith pushed her hand off of his shoulder & turned around to face her. "Look, I know you're trying to help, but this is something I've got to do on my own. Now, I'm going to go find her, & see what's wrong. I can't loose her this early in the school year. I just can't." Then, he swiftly walked out of the compartment in the direction she headed in while Sam was left to except the fact that she knew Keith only cared for her as a friend now, & nothing could change that.
Before Cindy could say more, there was a knock at the door. "I know you guys are in there. Please, let me in; I've got to speak to Tara." "Should I?" Tara nodded her head yes, & Cindy opened the door to a frustrated- looking Keith. As soon as he walked in, Cindy closed the door & turned around to see him hugging Tara. "I'm so sorry I made you run off, Tara. I promise that won't happen again." Tara smiled slightly & responded, "Keith, it wasn't your fault. I was just shocked & left without a word." Keith let her go & looked at her face. It looked like she was crying, but he was just happy to see her smile. "Alright, let's head back." As Cindy followed them out & back to their compartment, she thought, 'I knew it would happen sooner or later. Hopefully they'll admit it to one another soon enough.'
*A/N: Alright, another short chapter, but I didn't have many ideas. If you guys have any ideas for me on this story or my other HP stories, read, review, & tell me in your review. I could use all of the help I can get! Haha =) Well, I'm out!*
