A/N: First of all I want to thank all of my reviewers. BTW I got the idear from "Sixteen Candles" I saw it on a Saturday and it was so cute. Loved it. Lol. So now back to my progress, I am so speechless that you all like my story. I personally didn't think it was that good, so you made one girl very, very happy. What a nice birthday present. Lol. So I'll be able to update more frequently because SATs are over! Yay! Lol. So thanks again and I hope you like this chapter…you're not going to really like Bill in this chapter BTW, so sorry. I kind of made him like Percy, but not really…well you'll see as the story goes on.
Leila woke up the next day, to see Bex applying her makeup (as usual) and Katie getting dressed. She turned to the clock that lay on her dresser and saw that class started in 15 minutes. 'Great' she thought. She quickly tumbled out of bed and threw on her uniform, while running a brush through her long straight hair. She smiled at herself in the mirror, proud to see that she could look great without waking up so early.
"I know what you're thinking." Bex said as she watched Leila check herself in the floor length mirror. "And it's not nice." She smiled and went back to her mascara.
After another 10 minutes of waiting for her friends to get ready, they walked down to the common room, and was shocked to see that almost everyone in Gryffindor was down there.
"Did we miss something?" Leila whispered to Bex. She only shrugged, which was a surprise because there was nothing in this school that Bex Author didn't know of.
"Here let's go see what this is all about." Katie said and the two girls followed her down. She marched right up to Otis, who turned red when he saw them walking towards him.
"Yo Oat boat!" Bex said in a loud tone, "What's going on?" she put her hands on her hips, and just looked around the room, ignoring the fact that everyone was staring and pointing at Leila.
"Bex, they're all looking at me." Leila whispered to Bex. Bex turned around and her mouth twitched.
"Hey!" she yelled, "Listen people there is no show here! So excuse us for being late! That makes no excuse for all of you to be staring at us!" she let out a soft hiss, and rolled her eyes.
"That's not why were looking at you three." Someone said from the crowd. It was a girl from 6th year, who went by the name of Abby. She walked up to Leila and just smiled at her. "Here I think this belongs to you." She handed Leila a small note. The same note Leila got from Bex, and wrote all of her personal information on. "So why'd ya write it? Thought he'd ask you out once he saw it?" she smirked at Leila and turned to her laughing friends.
Leila not being able to handle it was thankful when Bex snatched it out of Abby's hand. "What on Earth are you doing with this!" she said loudly. Leila watched as she shoved it in her cloak pocket, and shake her head.
"Excuse me, you little 5th year." Abby said and walked up to Bex, while towering over her. "But I think I asked your friend a question." She glared down at Bex who just snarled at her. "So spill it, I think we'd all like to know what you were thinking, writing that about the head boy." She turned to the laughing crowd and smiled, "Did you actually think he'd enjoy reading it?"
Leila felt a tear roll down her cheek, how did she get it? The only person it was suppose to go to was Katie, and since she didn't get it, Bill must have picked it up.
"Um…I…" Leila said and felt her face blush as everyone began to point and laugh at her. How could this have happened?
"Um…I…" Abby mimicked her. "No, I want to know why you wrote that! Was it because you thought you would have a chance of what was it again?" she snatched the letter out of Bex's pocket and scanned it. "Oh yeah, get kissed by him on your birthday, just as the clock strikes midnight? That would be so romantic!" she rolled her eyes as she pretended to look flattered. "Your pathetic! Go back home you little mudblood." She threw the letter at Leila and narrowed her eyes at her.
"You leave my friend alone! If anyone is to blame it's me! Yes me! I gave her that note and with me being so 'annoying' I made her answer it! How was I suppose to know that that…idiot!" she pointed at the stairs where Bill now stood, "Was to pick it up!" Bex said while pushing Leila behind her to where Otis was standing. "If anyone has problems its that guy!" She tossed her hair over her shoulders and Leila saw that her cheeks had turned red with anger.
"Bill Weasley has no problems! He's head boy for Gods sake!" Abby yelled. She smiled at the now ashamed Bill.
"Yeah well news Fl-ash, lots of head people have 'problems' look at you for example." Bex said. Everyone knew that Abby was a prefect, and only on her way to be a head girl.
"How dare you!" Abby yelled and attempted to slap her when Otis pulled her back towards him.
"Let's get out of here." He said and held Bex by her waist, and Leila's hand. Katie was following them from behind.
"You better watch your back Abby Martin! Cause Bex Author is after you!" Bex called as Otis pulled her out of the portrait hole.
"Ooo…how dare she!" Bex yelled through the corridors. She was livid, her hair was a mess, and cheeks red.
"Come, on Bex, let's just get through potions." Otis said to calm her down.
"Oh my gosh!" Leila said and felt a tear roll down her cheek, "I totally forgot about potions! How can I stand to even see him?" she began to let lose her emotions as tears found their way down to her chin.
Just as she was about to say something about maybe skipping class, she bumped into someone, head first, and landed on a soft, but hard body. Leila opened her eyes and there under her was Bill Weasley himself. He smiled at her and she pushed herself up.
"Er…sorry." She said and kept walking, well aware that Bill was following her.
"Lola we need to talk." He said. She turned around and saw that he was smiling.
"Her name's Leila." Bex corrected him. "And no she doesn't need to talk to you." She looked him up and down as though he was the giant squid himself.
"Listen Lisa, I need to talk with you." He said and pouted.
"Oh, fine." Leila said and followed him into an empty classroom.
She watched as he closed the door and turned to face her. His smile seemed to have faded, and his back stiffened up.
"So…" she began but was cut off by Bill
"Listen, Lissie, I know that you like me and all, but that note wasn't necessary." He said.
"That note wasn't for you though." She said and turned her head down, not bearing to look him in his beautiful eyes.
"I know, but I got hold of it. And I'm sorry, I really have no idea how Abby got it." He said and he did truly look sorry. "And Leah, you're the same age as my brother, I would feel weird about dating you, I know that I can be leading, but I feel that the truth is that you have to find someone your own age, and not just the head boy." He dropped his head to look at her straight in the eye.
Leila felt her heart break. There he was her prince charming, telling her to move on. That she wasn't good enough for him. And she couldn't help it but tears made their way down her cheeks once again.
"Oh Linda, I'm so sorry." He said and brushed away a couple of her tears.
Leila felt as though every emotion she felt about him was over, not only did he never notice her, but also he didn't even know her name.
"My name's Leila." She said and pushed his hand away. "Not Lisa, or Lola, or even Myrtle!" Anger built up inside of her. "Why did you take that note!" she looked him up and down. "You know what? Your not at all like I pictured you were, your rude, and spoony, and put on such an act to make everyone like you!"
"Leila…" he said and put an arm on hers.
Just as he was about to comfort her, the door flung open, revealing a class of 7th and 6th years.
"Ooo, so the rumors are true!" one of them called out.
Leila not being able to bear it all ran out of the door, tears running down her once picture perfect face, and down the hall. This was by far the worst day of her entire life, and she had no where to go…where ever she went people seemed to follow, just to make fun of her. And to make matters worse, Bill wasn't the hero she though he was.
Just as Leila turned the corner at full speed she came knocking into yet another person of the day, only this time, it wasn't Bill, but another Weasley…Charlie.
"Sorry." She said and scrambled to her feet, ready to take off again. Charlie however held her arm back.
"Leila, let's go to the library." He said and smiled at her.
Leila only looked at him. There he was Charlie Weasley, helping she…Leila. She nodded and followed him, hand in hand to the library. All of a sudden she just felt a whole lot better.
A/N: So how was it? Your gunna love the next chapter!
