Hey everyone! Sorry it's taken me so long to post! I've thought of a
number of things that could happen, but I wasn't sure which ones to use. So
I finally figure it out! Well, here it goes!
Hermione didn't answer the phone all day. Matt had called once. "Hey Hermione! It's Matt. I just wanted to—um... see how things went with you and Ron. Hey, want to go to dinner tonight? Call me back! See you!" And then twice... "Hey! Well I guess you're still out with Ron. Give me a call, ok?" He was trying to be casual and figure out where she was.
Well, she did not want to talk to him at the moment. Ok, she did want to know what he had said to Toni, but she was also afraid to find out. What if Matt had feelings for her? What would Ron do? Could she and Matt still be friends? Gosh it would complicate things...
Ok, so how was she going to ask Matt about it? Should just casually bring it up in conversation? She couldn't do that! All of the possibilities were clouding her mind and if she ever wanted to see the sun again she'd have to ask him about it. "Or maybe it will just rain..."
For a while she debated back and forth with herself about calling him. She came as close as dialing the first three numbers, but then she'd always hang up. "Why can't things ever work out?" She turned on the TV to try to distract herself, but it didn't work. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
The next morning Hermione walked into Starbucks silently that thought of what she was about to ask lingered on her mind. "Hey!" said Matt as she walked behind the counter.
"Hey." She replied.
"Wow, you don't sound too cheerful today. How'd things go with Ron
yesterday?"
"Oh, we had fun actually, a really nice time. It's just—um... can I ask you
something?"
"Yeah, shoot." He said as he took a seat on the counter.
"Well um, well as I said we went to the café you took me to and Toni was
there and—um—what did you tell him?"
"What?"
"Hermione sighed. "Toni saw Ron and I together and he questioned me because he thought you and I were dating partly because of something you told him and what was it?"
"Oh," said Matt standing up. "Listen, Toni always assumes I'm dating every girl I take there."
"Well, were you?"
"All but you, yes."
"Then why did you bring me there? What did you tell him? You didn't tell
him that you and I—did you?"
"Hermione, relax! Calm down and I'll explain." He held her right hand in between his during his whole speech, and had her take a seat. Matt sighed. "Ok, you're right. I do take my girlfriends there, and that's why Toni assumes I'm dating every girl I bring there. And he takes every little thing I say and uses it to back up his assumption, but that's just how Toni is. What I told him is that I think... that I think you're beautiful, and you are. There's no denying it. Anyone can see it! And, that you're just as beautiful inside. I've never met anyone I get along with so well in my life! And as for why I took you there," Hermione held her breath. "You're my best friend, and I thought you might like the café. And, I'm sorry if this screwed up your date with Ron."
Hermione exhaled, smiling. It was such a relief, and gosh Matt was so sweet! "Thank you." She said softy. She threw her arms around Matt, who put his around her in return. "I'm going to miss you when the summer is over."
And that would be when an awful thought occurred to Matt. After summer was over, he wouldn't see Hermione everyday. Would he even see her at all? "Just don't tell Ron what I said. I wouldn't want him to curse me or anything."
Hermione's jaw dropped for a second. "S-Sorry, what did you just say? You wouldn't want him to curse you?"
Matt gave her a weird sort of look. "Yeah, relax Hermione. I'm only joking."
"Oh, right." She said. For a second there she thought he might have been a... no that was crazy. Muggles say things like that once in a while. She smiled to herself.
"Come on, I'll show you how to make a Tazoberry."
Hey! I was so tempted to cut off the chapter when Matt said he wouldn't want Ron to curse him to leave it as a cliffhanger, but it wouldn't work well with the next chapter. Well, I hope you liked it! It's getting pretty close to the end, only a few chapters left! Ok, maybe more like five? Four? I'm not sure. It depends on how I break up a few events. Review and I'll post soon!
