I'm Just Me
Chapter 3
I'm not a bad person; I'm not a bad person. I AM NOT A BAD PERSON. Ok maybe I was. but only a little bit - that was what I was telling myself as I walked up the corridor and mumbled the password (Nymphean Niblick) and entered the common room. Karla, Alicia and Angelina were all sitting in the best chairs by the fire but tonight after meeting Cedric I just didn't want to talk to any of them. I passed by the chairs ducking under hoping they wouldn't notice me. and they didn't!
I let myself into the dorm and settled down on my bed pulling the curtains all the way round. Karla had left on her music on and from the background there was churchy type music. It made me feel depressed. And so I sat there staring up at my curtains and wondering about my life. I was going to the library tomorrow to meet my best friend's boyfriend AND the guy who was the key to my plans and I felt happy. I knew exactly what I was doing to Alicia behind her back and I wasn't even feeling that remorseful. I was a bad person, but somehow the thought of Oliver made it all better.
I was in the great hall for breakfast when my owl (Sunriya) dropped me a small note; on the front it said Katie. I opened it up and written there was:
Dear Katie, I said I wanted to meet you tonight in the library and you're probably wondering why. Well its time I told you, I really like you. More than a friend and its more than like. I love you Katie Bell and I always have. I'm dating Alicia because I didn't have the courage to face you, I was afraid you would turn me down but I can't pretend anymore. I love you and I want you. Please don't turn me away
Yours Forever
Oliver
I gasped and Karla and Alicia looked up at me "Are you ok Kit?" they clamoured and I nodded. "I've forgotten a book; I'll meet you in transfiguration!" I told Alicia and Karla and I ran off. I barely made it out of the hall when I heard my name being called "Katie! Katie! Over here!" I turned around
Oliver!
He came up to me "Did you read my letter?" he asked and I nodded, I couldn't talk "Good" he replied. He lifted his hand to my cheek and caressed the side of it, looking deep into my eyes he gave me a small smile and leaned in to kiss me.
"Kat! Kat! KATIE!" I jumped up "What?" I asked. Where was I? This didn't look like Oliver's arms; in fact it looked just like my bedroom. Figures. Karla pulled open my curtains "Katie, are you alright?" she asked. I looked up at her deciding to myself that Karla was definitely expendable as a friend, I didn't need her. She woke me up in the most beautiful dream I ever had. "I'm fine" I replied testily to her "Grumpy? Oh sorry did I wake you up?" she asked sweetly, I just looked at her. "Fine, I'm sorry, I'm sorry but you snuck past so I figured your tryst went rather well. Care to spill the beans before the target returns?" she said lightly. I sighed, Damn Karla didn't miss a trick - not wanting to answer her I tried to take her off the topic "Karla, what is this music playing? It sounds like church music or something equally classical?" "I guess we'll talk Cedric later but in answer to your question it's Bach. I want to hear what it actually sounds like before I attempt my exam" she answered. I nodded, Karla wasn't that good at classes but what God didn't give her in class he more than made up for in her looks and musical talent - she was a violinist and a very talented one at that about to try for her 7th Grade Music Exam. "Can I practice on you?" she asked "Shoot" I told her.
She grabber her violin and bow and began to play, the music was slow and very sad and she played with such grace that I was soon entrapped. Alicia walked through the door and Karla snapped to a halt. "Oh gawd, I'm sorry Karla I had no idea you were practicing, please continue!" Alicia cried out, Karla smiled and shook her head "Don't worry about it, but I do need to practice especially my arpeggios so I'll go to another room - trust me its easier I need to be alone." Grabbing some music she left me and Alicia in the dorm.
Alicia stared at me "Oh Katie, as much as I love her I'm glad she's gone. I need to talk to you. What's wrong? You've hardly said two words since we came to Hogwarts and Darly" she used her special name (a short accented way of saying darling) "I'm worried. Talk to me, we're best friends or.at least we used to be." Again she looked at me her eyes starting to fill with tears. "Oh Leishy we are best friends, I just." I groped for a suitable reason ".I just thought you wanted more time with Oliver, coz you complained about not seeing him in the hols" I offered oh and by the way I love Oliver I added silently, hearing those words she gave me an enormous smile "I'm so glad that's it Katie. I love Oliver but I also love you too. We'll have a huge D&M tomorrow ok? But tonight I gotta sleep I am so tired. Night Bella" "Night Leish." Alicia pulled her curtains shut and I pulled mine once more, her words kept flashing through my brain 'I love Oliver.' Maybe Cedric could help "cure" that!
Oh dear God, I am such a bad person.
*** Would make up be too much? I thought to myself after dinner that night. Once again I had excused myself from the group and had gone up to the dorms to get ready for Oliver and Cedric. I looked at myself in the mirror and my reflection looked back and said 'No make up Katie, you don't wanna be a try hard. but do put a little bit of mascara on. Those lashes aint as thick as they used to be. Oh oh and the clear lip-gloss, the one from Andromeda's Cave!' I took my reflections advice and applied the make up. There perfect!
I got down to the library just before 8:30 and sat down at one of the smaller tables at the back, habitually I started biting at my nails because I was nervous - I was in mid bite and Oliver came and sat down next to me!
"Hi" I said almost shyly to him, he grinned and said "Hey Bell, how are things?" "Fine. so what's up?" I replied "Like to get down to business don't you Bell? I knew there was a reason why I picked you for the team" Oliver teased me; I rolled my eyes up at him "You need me on the team Wood. I'm the best and you need all the help you can get. So nyeah!" I said poking my tongue at him; he laughed "Oh god Katie you're so funny! You're the best you know that?" I smiled up at him, oh he is soo cute and he just complemented me, stop blushing Katie! "So really what brings you to these parts stranger?" I asked in mock Texan drawl. Oliver nodded and said "Firstly, you know that its Alicia's birthday coming up, well I want to get her something really special. And you're her best friend so you could help me. I mean I guess I'm asking you to come shopping with me. I'm not good at the gift thing. so you and me next Hogsmede weekend. we go shopping, what do you say?" I was overwhelmed by conflicting emotional overload. For one I did not want to go shopping and help him pick out something that would make Alicia love him more but spend time with him alone. how could I refuse?" "Sure Oliver, I'll go shopping with you, no problem." His face broke into a grin "I told you that you were the best Bell. And as you're so agreeing, would you mind helping me in Potions? Snape is on my back and I know that you're doing really well in Potions - Alicia told me." Well now that was unexpected, but good, very very good! "Yeah I could do that for you Oliver, but only coz I'm nice. Say I meet you in here every Wednesday night at 8 ok?" "Cool, thanks Katie. Well I'd better go but I'll see you tomorrow for our Potions lesson. Bye Bell." Oliver got up from the table and started to walk away "Bye Wood!" I called out after him.
I heaved a major sigh and looked down at my watch - only 5 minutes till Cedric came. I sat thinking about what Oliver had asked me. Potion lessons with him, one on one. And he came to me! Not to Alicia (who is basically at the same level as me) that was exciting. what I needed was Karla, she'd be able to help me sort out tonight.
I sat there so deeply in thought that Cedric came up and sat down and I didn't even realise straight away, "Katie, Katie.oi Katie?" Cedric called out to me, I looked up flustered. "Sorry Cedric, I was thinking." He grinned "you're always thinking. So what's the plan?" it was my turn to grin "Ok, well if we start going out maybe - doing the nauseating couple thing and double date heaps, I think Alicia will get jealous. Plus throw in some incidents with her and Oliver and they might become a little wary of each other. But I reckon for now we just start being heaps lovey-dovey ya know? I mean do you mind because we would actually have to act physical and well you know. well you know, um, get together and stuff." I blushed. "Yeah I know Katie, we are gonna have to get with each other and stuff and spend time. So it looks like you're going to be my new best friend! Who knows we might enjoy it!" Cedric told me and winked, I blushed again. "Well girlfriend of mine, I have to get back to the dorms but how bout we rendezvous tomorrow early for breakfast? Maybe come in together - holding hands? Meet me outside the hall at 10 to ok?" "Yup, it's a date. See you tomorrow Cedric." "Bye Katie." And just like that, I too, had a boyfriend. Well not a real one, but soon I would. Oliver. Getting up from the desk I moved in the general direction of the common room. It was time to tell everyone about my new boyfriend!
I'm such a bad person!
