Chapter 6. So Deal
Ok, you know what? I'm gonna wake up today, and forget every thing. I'm going to regain my dignity. I'm going to get out from under these sheets, smile, and get ready for another day of school.
Not really. I'm going to mope around for the rest of my life. I'm going to have dark circles all week.
NO! I'm going to get up...and be cool. Oh who am I kidding?
Myself of course!
So I got up. I made my bed, opened up my curtain, and looked through the window by my bed. It was a nice enough day outside. I could see the Whomping Willow in the distance, killing and whacking at little birds that teasingly flew by it.
I trudge over to my dresser and gaze into the dirty mirror. Ugh. The same face every day. How boring. OK, so my hair is fantastic. Long, brown, thick, silky, and layered, with eye skimming bangs. Very filmy. But who am I to brag? Well, I am infamous for my locks.
But honestly, if my hair wasn't good, I'd be pretty damn ugly. Because I don't have a face to look at.
My eyes are puffy and red from lack of sleep. Which I don't understand, because it looks like I have been crying, which I have not. I thought when you don't get enough sleep you're supposed to have deep dark bags under you eyes! Where are they?
Oh wait....found them. Ah well, I guess people will be too distracted by my deathly puffiness to notice my green eyes, which I got from my grandmother. That feels so weird to say, 'which I got from my grandmother'. It's like she gave me my eye color as a Christmas present. Which she didn't, of course.
"Oh gosh. Not another day with this hills on my face!" I grumble under my breath. For generations, on my mother's side, EVERY women has had these high cheekbones that just.....JUT out! And especially when I smile. Oh my goodness, lets not go there. Lets just say, it looks like I have jawbreakers stuck up in my cheeks. But, they do strangely give these weird dimples. And well, I've always wanted dimples.
OK, this is lame, stop looking at yourself Santasia! Just because no one else bothers to! Go get ready!
Ladies and gentlemen, you have just witnessed what the medical feild calls, multiple personality disorder.
I grab my robes, and my underclothes, and of course, my little shower caddy with my towel.
My roomies are still sleeping, but whatever, I couldn't sleep last night anyway, so I might as well get up.
And this time, when I take my shower, I'll make sure to read the door sign before I go in.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm sitting at the Gryffindor table with Anni, Susie, and Jenni. Graham is sitting next to me and Benni is on his other side.
I am moping, I'll admit it. I guess it's cos I'm tired from last night. At first I slept like a log....but around 2 in the morining, I woke up, and didn't fall back to sleep since.
I'm glad it's a Saturday. Oh I'm ever so glad! After this torture hour of eating (my friends made me come and eat because they're worried I'll starve. Honestly, it's like having a second mother!) I'll go back up to my dorm. Or better yet, find a comfy excluded table in the library to sleep.
Don't ask me why I'll sleep in the library, cos I don't even know.
I can see 6 macho, tall, studly, Popular guys at the Ravenclawe and Gryffindor table. They keep looking over at me and laughing their deep sexy laughs.
How do I know they're looking at me? They're the same guys that saw me in the hallway last night, in my towel!
And yes, they've told all of their friends. And their friends told their friends. And their friends told....well...you get the picture. Basically, everyone knows. And whoever doesn't, will know by lunchtime.
But I'm really not bothered by it much. You'll learn quickly that I have HIGH self-esteem. Meaning, I don't get too horrified by little (ok last night wasn't little) social bumps. I know last night, I was totally bummed. But who the hell wouldn't be?
And atleast I know why everyone's looking at me and laughing and pointing. It's better then wondering "Do I have a booger hanging out of my damn ear or something?"
Not that it's possible to find a booger in someone's ear. Just that the way people are looking....well.....you'd imagine.
I don't know why I'm so...dead. I think because of Sirius. But I'm putting him aside for a while. No boy thoughts for me this morning.
But Susie and Anni aren't helpful at all. They keep shooting me these furtive glances. I think they think I'm going to get up and shout to the school, "OK you were right! I love Sirius Black!"
As if. Because I don't. And we have here, a kittens chance in a cage full of bulldogs, of me screaming that to the school.
Frankly, I'd rather scream, "I have a wedgie!!!" to the whole student body, staff and faculty then profess a liking for Sirius "I'm hot, I'm sexy, oh kiss me" Black.
"Santasia? Woohoo...Santasia?"
Woah. Back to Hogwarts from my mind ramble.
WOAH! This totally cute guy is standing in front of me. I guess I must have been in a serious daze to not notice him.
He seems familiar. He's the damn captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch Team!
But wait...this can't be good. What hottie in his right mind would come up to me for chit-chat?
My excitement immiediatly drops from the high 70's to the low 20's.
"Oh uh hey", I yawn helplessly. My friends are all looking at me. Wait, no they're not. Graham is off trying to swoon Christina. Benni and Jenni are probably off making out on the Quidditch feild. Susie and Anni are eating. But both keep one eye on whats going on.
"Hey um, could I borrow you for a sec?" I look back up at the Quidditch Captain Hottie. He didn't make fun of me? He wants to borrow me?
Oooooo. My excitement level went up to the low 50's. I'm still a bit wary.
"Yea sure", I get up. Only to knock over my glass of chocolate milk all over my seat. No, nothing got on my clothes. But I am completly stunned. I showed my horrid clumsiness in front of this sexy beast!!!!
Oh well, I think I'll live. Like I said, high self-esteem. And by now, living my life, I'm experienced in clearing up horrifying moments.
I just laugh a bit, "Ooops", and say a counter curse to clean up my spill.
Hottie grins at me. OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE HAS DIMPLES! I forgot to mention. I melt when a guy has dimples. I love DIMPLES!
Right at the same time as I see those beautiful potholes on his cheeks, I remeber his name.
Topher. Topher..I think Keats. Not to confuse with the great poet Keats. Ahhhhh, Topher Keats, Gryffindor Quidditch Captain, with sexy dimples, is borrowing me to take me to the.......uh where is he taking me?
We reach the outside of the Great Hall, and I follow him when he turns to the left corridor. On the way to the library.
I dunno what to say to him, so theres this breif silence. But the Heaven's open up and say, "Santasia, the world ain't too bad!"
And Graham's constant talk of Quidditch actually comes in handy.
"Hey, are you nervous for the game tomorrow? Against Slytherin right?"
"Nah, we've got a great team. I'm pretty syched. We'll woop Slytherin's slimy, green butt", he grins at me again with those sweet dimples accentuating.
"I don't doubt you!"
"So, does that mean you're coming to the game?" he looks back at me hopefully.
"Of course!", I reply. I'm loosening up and our arms keep bumping. I'm so glad I sprayed my peachey orange perfume this morning.
We finally enter the library and Topher pulls me into an empty row of books so we're not disturbed by the librarian.
"The reason I wanted to talk to you was...um well, you're in all of my classes and....." Somehow, I don't think classes have anything to do with asking me out, so I'm getting very curious about why he brought me here.
"And, well, I'm not doing that great in Herbology. And you know about that tutoring program they're having so students can help students?"
Ah, light dawns. I'm a straight A student. I get this kind of stuff a bunch. Not that it's totally awesome. One thing that can be intimidating to guys about a girl, is intelligence.
"You want me to be your tutor?"
"Yea!" he looks to me again, and once again, just like Sirius, I realise how close we are. Damn I must be like some weird Guy Magnet or something. Hot guy magnet, not to mention. Too bad the guys only want to use me for homework and crap.
"So, you don't mind right? I mean it won't be forever and-"
"Of course I don't mind!" I reply. I playfully slap his arm. I have to admit. This is sorta a turn-off. This hot guy only wants my help in school. Why couldn't it be like lessons on making out or something?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hey Santasia!" Sirius is bounding down the hall towards me.
Oh God what does he want now? Surely he won't say anything about our clashing last night. Or the fact that half of Gryffindor saw me come into the Commons in my towel, including him.
"Hey Sirius! Wutsup?"
"Oh nothin' much", he lowered his voice to a whisper so I had to lean in to hear what he was saying, "A bunch of us are sneaking down to Hogsmeade now, wanna come?"
"Uhh...", do I have any plans for today? No. "Who all is coming?"
"Just some 7th years", he answered vaguely.
"Uh-huh", that answer wasn't good enough for me. "Which 7th years?"
Sirius shifted a little and muttered, "Just some guys from the Quidditch team, and Krysta from Slytherin and her friends, and Heather from Hufflepuff and her friends-"
"Ah, so basically the jocks and sluts. How fun. No, I think I'll pass on that desirable offer", I interrupted him cooly. There was no way in hell I would be hanging with people like that.
"Comon Santasia!" He whined, "It'll be fun and I'll introduce you and-"
"No really Black, it's OK. I'm not in the mood for a make out party in Hogsmeade", why was I being so mean to him?
Sirius looked ruffled and irritated at me, not to mention a bit hurt, "Fine then....Seeya later."
Before I could respond he took off at a jog down the hall towards the old witche's hump (secret passage to Hogsmeade).
Life at Hogwarts was as strange as ever. Just yesterday I was obliviously happy. Then Sirius almost kissed me. I found out I liked him. Hot jocks were being friendly to me. And Sirius wanted to take me to a make out party in Hogsmeade.
WOAH!!!! Rewind 3 sentences dudes. Did I just say I liked Sirius Black?
Life at Hogwarts really was strange as ever.
