Disclaimer: I wish I owned everything, especially Draco and Oliver, but I
don't.
A/N: Sorry for such a short chapter. I've got a lot of homework, and a lot of studying to do. So it'll probably be slow with short chapters until next Wednesday. And don't expect any updates this weekend. I won't be home. With that said, read, enjoy, and review.
It had been two days since pansy had kissed him. Two days! He spent all night after she kissed him thinking about her. What did it mean? He knew that it meant that she obviously liked him. Yet what wasn't exactly obvious what how he felt about her. He had always known she was pretty, and funny, and smart. But she was also his friend. His only friend of the female species for that matter. What would happen if they went out? He knew she would say yes, but where could he turn to. He had always gone to her for advice on girls. Who could he turn to then? And what if things just didn't work out and they broke up? Would they still be friends? If they were, it would never be the same, and they would never be very close again.
Still, that night he spent thinking, he had come to the conclusion that he did have feelings for her. Feelings more then a mere crush. So he had decided to ask her out. Then next morning he got up a little earlier, and tried to look his best. As he strolled through the halls seemingly with confidence, which was really just to mask his nervousness, he was disappointed to find she hadn't shown up for any of her classes or meals the last two days.
Draco was ready to give up, but he simply couldn't. Now until he at least gave it a fair shot. This was it. The third day. If she didn't show up, then he would just pretend to forget that any of this had ever happened and continue his life as it had been before. Still, he would be very disappointed, and very depressed for at least a week. Although many people had their own ideas and opinions of what went on in his life, some of it true, no one ever knew about his relationships. There had only been one before, and it sadly only lasted three weeks. Her father found out about them and yanked her out of Hogwarts and off to some other school, and he had never seen or heard from her again. So after that he had given up for a while. Girls were just too much trouble for him, and he had very little experience. So if this didn't work out, he may not find the courage to try anything with any other girl for a long time to come.
Draco walked nervously towards the great hall and walked through the doors. He took his seat at the Slytherin table, and looked around him. No Pansy to be seen. There was a girl named Daisy, and another named Lilly, but none with the particular name of flower he was looking for.
So that was it. It was over. He simply could not bear another day of this. He would waste no more time waiting for her. What had he been thinking? Honestly? Like it really would have worked out anyway. He chuckled bitterly and finished off his plate.
With only a minute left until class he had finally convinced himself for the moment that no girl was worth it. Things would not have lasted, and that he was better off without her anyway. And then it happened. As he approached his first class, with his mind in one place, and his body in another, he slammed into someone. She fell down and yelped.
Draco snapped his eyes open and looked down. Books and papers were scattered along the hallway floor around them. The girl looked down at the ground and sighed. He heard her mutter something under her breath, and he quickly bent down to help her gather her belongings.
"I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking where I was going. I really should pay more attention sometimes. I'm really, truly sorry." Draco apologized as he stacked the books neatly.
"It's fine. I wasn't quite looking either. These past couple of days haven't been the best for me and my mind was off somewhere else at the wrong time. Just like me to zone out at the wrong time." She sighed.
Draco looked up at the wall and stared at the clock. Classes had started two minutes ago. They were both late, and it was entirely his fault. He would simply have walk her to class and make sure the teacher knew it was his fault that she was late. Hopefully the teacher would understand.
"I'll walk you to class and let your teacher know that this was my fault." He informed her as she turned to pick one last piece of paper behind her.
"No, but thank you. You should hurry up to class too. I'll be just fine." She turned to face him, but her long dark hair blocked out her face, and Draco suddenly realized that her voice seemed strangely familiar.
Draco stopped and stared as she organized her papers. He looked at her robes. She was in Slytherin, she was tall, and she had long dark hair. It could only be one person. Pansy. He bent down a bit to see if he could see her face. She looked up and gave him a funny look as if he were acting strange. But he was right, it was her. And immediately her face lit up with recognition, and then reddened with embarrassment.
"Pansy?" Draco smirked.
"Yes." She looked away from him.
"I've been looking for you for the past two days. Where've you been?" He asked.
"You were looking for me?" She seemed surprised.
"Of course. After what happened on Monday I had to see you." He smiled.
"I thought I had scared you off. And I'm really sorry about that too. I don't know what came over me." She sighed.
"Me either, but I hope it comes over you again sometime in the near future. It's not often girls actually get up enough guts to kiss me like that. And it's rare that I actually want to kiss any of them back." He laughed.
"You actually like me? Are you serious?" She tried to hide her happiness.
"Of course! Why do you think I've been looking for you the past two days? I was planning on asking you out, but I thought you were avoiding me, so I was just about to give up." He looked down at his feet.
Pansy smiled and grabbed his hand. Together they walked to class. Draco had never been so happy. Everything was right in the world. Well, at least his little part of it. And as they approached the classroom door Pansy stopped.
"We better not go in together. They will know something's up if we both show up late together." Pansy told him.
"Then you go ahead. I'll come in a few minutes." Draco shrugged.
"Ok, I'll talk to you later then." She smiled.
Pansy walked towards the door, but then she stopped. She turned back and looked up at Draco. She smiled sweetly at him, and leaned up to give him a soft kiss on the lips. Then she hurried into the classroom, leaving Draco stunned, outside and late for class, again.
A/N: So, how was it? I know it could have been better, but I'm under a lot of stress right now. I promise it'll be better once school lets out. So what do you guys want to happen next? No more chapters until I get at least four reviews. So review please.
