Enjoy!
Idiot
...NO! I can't do this. He has a girlfriend! What is he thinking?
"Oliver stop." His face was a little less than an inch away from mine and I could feel his warm breath fluttering across my lips.
"Why?" a small frown was forming on his face. Why? Why?...well why not? said a little voice in my head. NO! I can't think like that!
"Well, come on...why?" he prompted, the frown now fully formed on his face.
I took a minute to really look at him. His hair was messy from practice, cheeks a little pink and his eyes were looking deep into mine, as though searching for an answer to a question. In my opinion, he'd never looked better.
I noticed that his arms were still wrapped around me and I loathed the idea of stepping out of them but I couldn't stay, it was wrong.
I slipped away from him and looked into his eyes, I could see how frustrated he was and I didn't want to turn him away but I didn't want Lexy mad at me for kissing her boyfriend, even if he initiated it.
"Oliver, we can't. It's just not right." I closed my eyes as I finished the sentence not really sure if I wanted to see his response. Damn this was hard.
"Fine, I see how it is. I know when I'm not wanted. I'll c'ya later Belle," he snapped in a voice harsher than I had expected of him. Wait a minute, I didn't mean it like that!
"Oliver wait! It's not like that!" But he had already disappeared. Crap. This bites. I sighed and kicked my locker. OW! Damnit! Wow, that hurt a lot more than I expected.
"Now now deary, don't take your anger out on the lockers or it'll be a detention for you," said an old wrinkly witch that had just walked into a usually empty portrait. She looked amazingly like an ancient McGonagall.
"Umm...ok." That seemed to satisfy her because she walked out of the picture quietly. Well that was really weird, can pictures even give detentions?
Geez, I kicked that locker really hard; I think I twisted my ankle. Oh well, I'll live. After all, I am the famous Katie Belle.
I started pealing off my sweats and muddy padding. I wrapped my towel around me (red with gold embroidery) and grabbed my clean clothes as I went off to the other side of the room to take a nice looong hot shower.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I walked slowly up to Gryffindor tower, carrying my broom over my shoulder. I didn't feel very hungry so I wasn't even going to bother with lunch.
I was assigned tons of homework to do over the weekend so I might as well get started on it now.
Snape assigned us a 4ft essay on love potions, their uses and why they're illegal. I also have a 2ft essay from Flitwick on banishing charms and a conjuring spell to practice for Transfiguration. My life is hell.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I had just finished my homework when Alicia walked into the dorm.
"Hey Kates, where've you been all day?" she said as she started rummaging in her trunk for something.
"Doing homework," I replied, flopping back onto my bed.
"Oh, that's nice." She seemed really preoccupied in finding what ever she was looking for. We sat in silence for a few minutes and my thoughts drifted towards Oliver.
What did he think he was playing at this morning? Is he not satisfied with Lexy? I mean, I can see how she can get annoying after a while but she's not that bad, and she's really pretty, all the guys stare as she walks past. But wh...
"Hello? Earth to Katie, Earth to Katie." I could make out someone's fingers waving around in my face.
"What?" I said, snapping out of my trance.
"What's bugging you?"
"Huh? Oh nothing," I said hoping that she'd be convinced. She wasn't.
"Then why have you been trying to rip off Jimmy's ears for the last 10 minutes?" She replied pointing to favorite stuffed animal, it was in the shape of a shaggy black dog.
"I don't really feel like talking about it right now, ok?" Well I guess there really is a way. She raised an eyebrow and shrugged her shoulders in a gesture of defeat.
"Ok Kates, but if you ever want to talk about anything...just remember that I'm here if you need me."
"Sure Lissy," I said softly then went back to twisting Jimmy's ears, eventually I fell asleep hugging Jimmy tightly.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Hey Kay-tieee!" Ugh, what is it with people and waking me up today?
"Oi, Kates. Get up, it's time for din dins." Hmmm, to go or not to go, that is the question. I heard my tummy rumble and made up my mind: go.
"Ok, I'm moving." I climbed out of bed, fixed my hair and lumbered down the stairs towards the Great Hall with an annoyingly chipper Angelina.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
We walked in and sat on either side of Alicia, who was thankfully sitting far away form Oliver. Angie and I started loading our plates with roast beef and mashed potatoes immediately.
Now I was just doing this because I missed lunch and I was very hungry, whereas Angelina was doing it because she loves food.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
After we finished eating we walked back up to the tower. I was (again) thinking about what had happened in the locker room this morning while fiddling with my ring.
Angie and Lissy were talking about how unfair it was that the teachers were allowed to give us homework over the weekends.
"So what d'ya think Kates?"
"Huh?" Oops, really should've been paying attention.
"You haven't been listening to a word I've been saying have you?" Damn, I've been caught.
"Uh, not really, I was thinking about Ol...I mean other stuff." They both looked at each other with identical 'what can you expect?' looks. We walked in silence until we got to the common room.
"Katie, what happened with you and Oliver this morning after practice?" Wow! That was really unexpected.
"What d'ya mean?" Angie rolled her eyes and grabbed my shoulders.
"What...happened...between...you...and...Oliver...this...morning...after...practice?" How did they know?
"I don't know what you guys are talking about," I said nervously.
"Kates, we love ya, and we don't wanna hafta kill ya, so just tell us!" Oh man. Well, what have I got to lose?
"Ok, let's go up to the dorm." So we all trooped upstairs, sat on my bed and I started to tell them.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
By the end of my "story" they were both giggling like mad.
"I don't see what's so funny!" I was starting to get seriously ticked off right now.
"K-K-Katie! You are such a-an IDIOT!" Angie choked out. What? Is she saying that I should've let Oliver kiss me and get totally yelled and screamed at by Lexy?
"How am I an idiot?" I am getting seriously offended here. I had to wait until Alicia got her breath back to receive my answer.
"Lexy broke up with Oliver a couple days ago to go out with some creepy Slytherin." My mouth dropped open. no way! They both started giggling insanely again at the look of surprise on my face.
They finally stopped when Angie fell off of my bed. Where upon I started giggling so hard that it took me twenty minutes to settle down.
"Well," said Alicia breathlessly, "I guess you better go and tell Oliver why you wouldn't kiss him this morning, because I know a whole heap of girls who would've kissed him!"
"Yeah, including yourself," Angie said dryly causing Lissy to burst into another fit of giggles.
Great, now I'm going to look like a complete moron in front of him. I frowned, this was going to be hard to do without looking really stupid.
"Just go and tell him, you won't look stupid," Angie said. Wow! That was weird, can she read minds?
"Go now or you'll get really nervous." Wise Lissy with her predictions...hmm am I nervous? Duh! Of course I am!
Well...I guess I'll go, but there is no way I am going without backup.
"Ok but only if you two come with me for moral support." They both agreed happily. What did I just get myself into?
Before I could change my mind they had linked arms with me and were bouncing down the steps towards the common room.
It was really crowded in there and after we had gone around the room twice I was thoroughly confused.
"Where is he?" I asked with a puzzled expression on my face.
"Um...I dunno, let's go ask George." Well...
"Ok..." This could either go very good or very bad.
"Hey George!" Angie called out (I swear she was being overly loud on purpose). "Where's Oliver?" This better go good, this better go good, this better go...
"Well why do you ask?" George had that evil grin on his face. Let it go good...please?
"Because Katie needs to tell him about a little thing she has on him called a crush," Angie screamed back. I smacked myself on the forehead; I should've expected it to turn out bad.
Note to Self: never trust Angie with anything again, not even a match...no wait, especially not a match.
Alicia had started giggling again. I growled and punched her in the ribs. She started to choke and Angie began zealously hitting her on the back.
I rolled my eyes and sighed, what to do with them?
"Now Katie, we all know that you want to see Oliver but there's no need to be violent, he's up in the dormitory, nobody else is there so just go on up," George commented with a wink.
"Don't you start," I said roughly. Man these people were starting to tick me off. It must be 'bug-Katie-as-much-as-humanly-possible' day today.
"Come on you two," I said, tugging at Lissy and Angie only to realize that they weren't moving. Crap, what now?
"Ummm...Katie?"
"We just realized..."
"...that we have a lot of homework..."
"...and we couldn't think..."
"...of a more perfect time to..."
"...do it then..."
"...now, so bye!" and then they left me extremely confused and thinking that they were spending way too much time around Fred and George. I can't believe my two best friends just abandoned me.
Ahhhh! "Fred! George! Put me down you big lumps!" I screamed. They had just picked me up and unfortunately no amount of struggling was going to get me free.
"What are you doing with me?" I screeched. Oh they are dead! Remind me to kill Fred and George after I figure out exactly how to do it without getting expelled.
"You're going to see Oliver and tell him how you really feel about him," Fred said as I tried to rip out his shocking red hair.
"He told us about this morning by the way," George said as an evil grin spread across his face (or as I prefer to call it "The Weasley Grin").
I wonder if he told them about everything this morning. That rude awakening, the piggy-back, the locker room...I shuddered, maybe I shouldn't think about it.
"He looked really depressed about it too," Fred commented, his face getting serious all of a sudden (A/N: yes, it is possible) I sighed and bit my lip thinking about how utterly irresistible he looked this morning.
"Well, here we are!" announced George as he unceremoniously dumped me onto the floor while Fred knocked on the door, then they were gone.
Damn, I gotta get outta here before Oliver opens the door. I had landed clumsily with my right leg folded underneath me so that I was sitting on my foot and twisting my already hurt ankle. Twins...must...die!
I gasped and winced in pain just as Oliver opened the door.
"Katie!" he said looking surprised.
Haha, another cliffie! Wait nooo. I didn't mean it...ow ow ow stop hurting me! Lol the sooner you review the sooner I update! Bye!
