~~~~~Pain, Pleasure, and Love~~~~~
"Well, what a surprise to see you Miss Rachel." Said Draco as he looked up from the bookshelf.
"Right back at you." I responded.
" Where are your "friends" Weasley and Potter?" said Draco very slyly.
"What's it to you?" I answered offensively.
"No need to be violent Rachel. It was just a simple question. But if questions come with a violent response from you, I might as well keep my mouth shut." Draco just stood there.
"Umm…no, I'm sorry. I've had a rough week. I didn't mean to take my anger out on you." For a moment, I was going to defend Ron and Harry, but then I remembered…..Ron….what he had done to me. So, I thought that if I wasn't going to be friends with Ron, that I was going to befriend Draco. As much as I didn't want to, I agreed to myself.
Draco began to walk around the bookshelf towards me. He placed his hand on my shoulder.
"If it's alright may I ask what's the problem?" said Draco very quietly.
I wanted to tell him what Ron had did to me, but I knew that if I did he would go after him accusing him of being this and that. And even if I was angry at Ron I knew that Draco would make the rest of his Hogwart's days a living inferno.
"No, it's just that, uh, I can't really explain. I just fooled myself into thinking that the people I knew were what I thought they were, but they turned out to be something else. Something I would have never expected. And I refuse to share my friendship with people I will never trust." I said, but what I didn't notice that Draco was staring at me the whole time.
"Does this certain problem contain a certain Weasley I might add?" said Draco.
"Well, I guess you can say that" that was the only response I only had for him.
"Well, I was hoping that Melissa should be the one telling you this. Since she's one of your best friends, but I guess I will tell you. Rachel, Weasley and his gang aren't what most people think. They aren't the perfect example of a good friendship. They are just the opposite. They use people just to get their own way. They are selfish creeps. And in additon to all of their bad characteristics, there violent. Last year, Weasley had a girlfriend and they were going for a while then. But then one day, the girl decides to break up with him. The next day, she has a black eye. He had hit her. Imagine that. The girl had to transfer schools because he wouldn't leave her alone. Poor girl. And it's not just Weasley who's violent, Potter and Granger are exactly the same. Maybe even worse."
I couldn't believe what I heard. So Ron is like that. He is violent. Imagine if I had kissed him back. I have to tell Joanna to get away from Harry. Fast.
"My advice to you Rachel is to get away from them as possible. They are bad news. Soon enough, either Ron or Harry might take a liking in one of you and after that you'll never be able to get out of that one. But just know that I'm here for friendship. I want to be your friends. I really like Melissa and I would love to be part of your friendship." Said Draco.
After that, Draco smiled and turned around and left. Leaving me alone standing there. I thought. I gotta tell Joanna about this. We have to leave them ASAP. Draco will become our new friend. But even though I thought about how much I hated them, I couldn't get Ron out of my mind. As much as I wanted to forget him I couldn't. I wanted to help him. I wanted to ask him why he was like that. But I just couldn't.
~~~~In the Common Room~~~~
I saw Joanna reading a book in the common room. She was smiling so much I thought her cheeks were going to burst.
I walked in and she stood her head up.
"Hi Rachel. Where have you been all week? I hardly ever see you anymore?" she said.
"Just been up in the library, reading. And guess who I saw? Draco Malfoy. He just told me something and I think you should know." I said
"Don't tell me anything that jerk had to say. Harry was telling me what a jerk he is and now I want Melissa to stop hanging out with that jerk. But it's too late now, they look like a couple now." Said Joanna very loudly.
"But how do you know Harry is telling you the truth. You know, I'm starting to believe Draco and I think that WE shouldn't be hanging out with them." I responded.
"WHAT!! Are you kidding. Don't tell me you believe that jerk. How stupid are you? You would actually believe Draco than Ron. By the way, Ron seems to have taking a liking in you. That's all he talks about. You. He's been looking for you everywhere. He thinks your avoiding him. Anyways, don't think I'm actually going to believe that Draco. And you shouldn't either!!" Joanna was furious.
"No, you should listen to me. Just because you like Harry doesn't mean he's telling you the truth!!" I was angry now.
"NO! Don't talk to me anymore. I refuse to listen to lies!!" and then Joanna grabbed her book and stormed out of the room.
I stood there by myself in the common room. Trying to get myself to calm down. Five minutes into the silence, I heard a door open. I turned around to see who was there and just then my heart filled up with fear. It was Ron.
"Rachel, we need to talk." And with that Ron locked the door and put the key inside his pocket.
How am I going to get out this? I thought.
