A/N: Hello, hope you like this chapter, all but the end in in Blaise's P.O.V. the very end is Gabby's, have fun, please review, i live for them!
Today is the day I will start the plan. Draco made sure that everything was in order, my clothes were pressed by the house-elves and my hair was done like always, spiked. My glorious hair had the sheen of a new galleon and as black as night. I put my contacts in, yes I know they are muggle things but I wouldn't be caught dead in glasses in this house, I only wear them at home when I am alone. Yes I know it sounds shallow but get over it, I am who I am, I can't help it and I swear Draco's made me worse. Before I came here I was more carefree; I guess that's the word, then I met Draco. Blonde ferret is what he is, but if I want to do well in this house, I got to stick with the guy who has power right? Yes, that is what I have to do, my eyes with contacts in are bright blue, but without them they are only a dull brown, my mother says they aren't dull, they have many colors in them besides brown, but all I see is brown.
In a way I really don't want to hurt Ericson, but she humiliated me in front of the whole school. From the day I met her she's been on my mind, I've had dreams of the girl, and no one knows. She's pretty, with her dark brown hair, is what you could call mahogany and her eyes are green, but I swear they were gray the first time I saw her. I look around the room and sigh this will be hard. I have never been a true Slytherin, nobody in my family ever has, true Slytherins are power hungry and it's almost as if they don't have feelings. I sure do, Draco has never showed feelings, he has never told me anything other than how he hates Granger, which I doubt I've seen him staring at her across the room sometimes, and Potter and Weasley. Potter and Granger sure do look like they like each other; I've seen the looks she gives him in the Great Hall and how he gives her side glance when she's not watching. Yes I know I'm nosy, leave me alone about that part, I just notice things easily I guess. I definitely know that Finnegan has a crush on Brown, and vise versa, but Weasley I'm not sure, but that isn't the point I'm making. No one knows me for me; they know me as the scumbag that follows in Draco Malfoy's steps.
I'll prove them wrong, and I'll start after I get Ericson or Gabby in my grasp. How odd it is just to think of her as Gabby, well that's something I HAVE to get over. She seems nice when she is around her brother and friends, in fact she even stands up for her friends like family. Gosh she drives me crazy, why for Heaven's sake I don't know. Again I ask why is life such a crap hole?
I flop onto my bed, which is house colors and is very comfortable. I wonder if I can pull off this crazy plan, today I will sing in front of the whole school just to get this girl who HATES me to go on a date... With me, the guy who is her enemy for crying out loud. Well it's time for me to go ahead with the plan, he planned it for 9:00 in the morning, and it's 8:45, oops 8:46, this will be fun.
I head down to the hall, even on Saturdays everyone ends up eating around nine, ten at the latest. Hopefully she hasn't left or is there. Fudge, I just bumped into something! Ow!
"Sorry," muttered a girl who had landed on the floor. I extend my hand to her and she looks up, and I smile, well at least I know we're heading to the same place.
"Oh, it's you," said Gabby with venom seeping into me, gosh she's good, why isn't she in Slytherin?
"Yeah, I'm sorry, are you ok?" I asked I think I surprised her because her jaw hung open for a while.
"Don't do that it's unattractive, it looks like you're trying to catch a fly," I said smiling and closing her mouth with my free hand, she hadn't dropped my other hand yet.
"What is going on here?' she asked looking at me like I was crazy.
"Umm... I think I... Have to go, mind me escorting you to the Great Hall," I asked trying to be as nice as possible. What happened next surprised the h-e-double hockey sticks out of me. She started walking never letting go of my hand it was as if she were dragging me until I realized that she wanted to get to breakfast. I walked steadily with her done the stairs and up the corridors to the Great Hall. Everyone looked and stared, I was thinking the same thing, why was she holding my hand like she didn't care about us being enemies? We walked into the Great Hall and everyone stared, she went to her table I went to mine. Guess what Draco, I don't have to sing, uh-oh here he comes.
"Ah, fine work Zabini. I see you've worked your charm on her already, singing will top that off, be back. I have to introduce you," he said then left to go up front and introduce me, I'm so nervous, I'm shaking and my stomach is all knotted up.
"Ladies and gents! I introduce to you the singing talents of Blaise Zabini, and he dedicates this song to Miss. Ericson," Draco said, everyone looked at Gabby then to me, oh no! I walk up to the front of the Great Hall, people whispering behind my back.
"Hi-i," I stuttered when I got up there. "I'll be singing 'Because You Live by Jesse McCartney," I said shaking all over, everyone including Gabby is looking at me, I'm terrified. Here goes nothing!
(off the Princess Diaries 2 CD, listen to it while you read it, very pretty song!)
"Staring out at the rain with a heavy heart
It's the end of the world in my mind
Then your voice calls me back like a wake-up call
I've been looking for the answer somewhere
I couldn't see that it was right that
But now I know what I didn't know
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
It's alright I survived I'm alive again
Because of you made it through every storm
What is life worth if you're killing time
I'm so glad I found an angel
Someone who was there when my hopes fell
I wanna fly looking in your eyes
Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky
Because you live I live
Because you live there's a reason why I carry on when I lose the fight
I want to give what you've given me always
'Because you live and breathe
Because you make me believe in myself when nobody else can help
Because you live girl
My world has twice as many stars in the sky' (x2)
My world has everything I need to survive
Because you live
I live, I live"
I did it! Oh- no, I just sang about living because she lives, Draco is going to have to sleep with one eye open tonight, because I swear to God I will kill him! She's looking at me, what do I do. Wait a second, what's that sound, they're clapping! For me, wow what does she think, I so wish I didn't do this because now I've dug a hole deeper than I can get out of. She's getting up and now she's leaving, and Boot and Patil and another girl who must be in Gabby's year, there go three other girls following her now. What have I done!
I don't know what happened, I just started running. Where do I go, I don't know my why around, why did he do that! Just keep running, keep running. Up the stairs down the long corridors I go, running so fast just to get away. What am I going to do, my plan is screwed up, I was going to make him miserable. Now my plan is ruined Chloe, Ash, Bon Bon, Fee, and I can up with a wonderful plan, I was going to be super sweet to him, have him love me then break his heart. Now it is ruined, only because... I think I like him.
