The Lighter Side of the Sex God
Chapter 8
Michelle's POV
"So, do you think Ricky will be in Slytherin?" My friend Jacque says to me.
"I'm not sure; he's definitely evil enough, though." I laugh, but inside I'm serious.
Jacque and I, along with our group, walk to Potions class we all have that first. So I guess if he is in Slytherin, he'll be in there.
"Well, how are things with Draco?" asks Sarah. She strolls behind Jacque and I and interrupts my thoughts.
"Erm.. Alright I guess, you were right about that rumor, though." I say to her.
She gasps and covers her mouth with her hand. She stands there for a moment. She slowly removes her hand from her mouth.
"Really?" She finally asks, "So are you guys still together, is he really going to marry her? Tell me!" She grabs hold of my jumper in anticipation.
"Yes, we are still together and yes he's still going to marry her." I say calmly.
She stares at me, either too stupid to say anything right now or too stunned.
"But, how can that be? When are they getting married?" She asks still wondering.
"After seventh year." I say sadly.
"Oh," She hangs her head; "Well at least you'll still have that time with him." We continue walking to Potions class.
We enter class and I see Draco sitting next to Blaise so Jacque and I sit a few rows in front of them; since they were the only two open.
"Class, this year each pair of students will be doing a different potion, you will each have a journal and take notes of the effects for one week. At the end of that week you will then find out what potion you have taken." Professor Snape says in his usual cynical tone.
Just then, you-know-who calmly walks in. Professor better yell at him for being late.
"Why are you late?" Snape asks Ricky.
"Over slept." He responds with no emotion. He obviously hasn't heard of Snape's reputation.
"Well, take that seat behind Ms. Gentile, I'm sure she can fill you in on how we run things here." Why did Snape have to put him behind me?
Why isn't Snape grilling him for being late? He would even scream at Draco if he was late, and Draco's his favorite!
Ricky sadistically smiles at me, and then takes his seat.
"Oh and Mr. Eliv?" Snape says to Ricky.
"Yea?" There he goes with that bad American language again.
"Don't ever be late to my class again!" Snape threatens. All right, there's my favorite professor; I knew he wouldn't get off that easily.
"Sure." Ricky says obviously not caring what Snape said.
"So as I was saying," Snape started to ramble; I drifted off. I was sleeping pretty hard.
"Michelle!" Jacque whispers and nudges me, trying to wake me up.
"What, what?" I almost yell; she scared me so bad I forgot we were in class.
"Shh, here." She hands me a note, "It's from him." She nods her head towards Ricky.
"Oh, thanks." I whisper back to her, sarcastically.
I open the note.
Baby doll, (that's what he used to call me)
Don't you just look delicious squirming in your seat like that? You're thinking about me aren't you? Meet me later in the closet near the astronomy tower.
Always,
Your big daddy (a name he gave himself)
I look up from the note and look back at him. I roll my eyes and write back.
"Big daddy", (don't get used to that)
Are you that thick to think that I would actually think of you! I despise you with every fiber in my body. Just hearing your name makes me vomit. You are nothing to me. You're lucky if I even think about looking at you again. If you actually think that I would meet you anywhere, you are highly mistaken.
I'm not yours anymore. You can no longer call me Baby Doll. You can't even call me Michelle. If you absolutely must refer to me as anything you are given permission to call me Ms. Gentile.
Signed,
Ms. Gentile. Asshole!
I could feel his eyes burning into me as I wrote the note. I send it back to him without looking at him.
He didn't send me another note but I could still feel him staring at my back.
Draco's POV
"Did you see that?" I whisper to my mate Blaise.
"See what?" He answers disinterestedly
"Michelle," I say.
"What about her?" He asks.
"Her and Ricky are sending notes back to each other." I respond a little annoyed. I crane my neck trying to see what's happening.
"Oh, it's probably nothing." He says not really interested.
"You're probably right." I go back to pretending to pay attention. I can't stand it! "But what if its not." I say worriedly.
Okay, so I'm jealous, sue me. She's my girlfriend not his, I should know what she's talking about to her ex-boyfriend.
He drops his pen heavily on the table, "Look, mate, she's crazy about you, there's no way that she would let anything happen." He says reassuringly.
"Yes." I say a bit more relaxed.
"Thank you." Blaise says under his breath.
I try to pay attention again; just so I'm not completely in the dark about the assignment.
"So here are the partners for this project: Harry and Ron, Hermione and Sarah, Blaise and Jacque, Draco and Pansy, Michelle and Ricky-" Groans erupt from the class. I can't believe I have to work with pug face.
Snape continues reading off partners. Michelle has to work with Ricky, this is not good!
