CH 1: Almost Encounters

Alyssa Zhu, there she was again slowly ruffling up his hair. She was always touching his hair and pushing him around like he was nothing. But he wasn't and isn't nothing. He's someone - someone special. Just then he dropped his pencil. Mark bent over slowly for fear of bringing attention to himself and picked up his pencil.

Snape stopped the lecture and glared at Mark. "Disturbing the class again, Mr. Zhu?"

Mark looked up confused and squinted his eyes at Snape. "Wha? Huh? Oh yea. I mean NO!" He shook his head furiously.

"Well then sit down so that the rest of us may continue the class." Snape tapped his wand on the podium and the projector continued. "As we see here before we were rudely interrupted, the werewolf..."

'I hate him. I really hate him. He always picks on me. I hate hate hate him.' Mark shook his head and tousled his fluffy hair

"Cindi, could I borrow a bit of parchment?" Draco tapped her lightly on the shoulder.

"Huh, what?" said Cindi with a half-dazed look. Draco noticed that she was staring at Mark. When Draco didn't say anything further, Cindi directed her attention back to Mark. He was sitting in his desk hunched over and scribbling as fast as he could. Occasionally his fluffy hair would dangle over his eyes and he would brush it away.

ding-ding-dong

"Oh, is class over? What a pity" said Snape in a deep monotone.

Mark sped out of the room as quickly as he could. 'OMG, he's going away.' Cindi looked as Mark came closer to her and even closer to the door. 'Should I say hi or something?' She raised her hand in a waving gesture but it was too late, Mark was already out the door. As he had left, Mark dropped a piece of crumpled paper. Cindi eyed it like a hawk.

"What do you see in him anyways?" Draco said with a scowl.

"Huh, what are you talking about? WHO?" Cindi tried to evade the question. It was just too awkward to talk about. Who would ever believe that she liked Mark Zhu, of all people, and most importantly why would he like her back?

"Yeah, that's what I thought." smirked Draco. "You shouldn't concern yourself with such a wussy and a loser."

"But you lost to Harry in Quidditch though."

Draco's mouth dropped. "That was just a movie! I was supposed to lose!"

"You mean it was a book right?"

"Wait, does that make me a character in a kids' book?" said Draco scratching his head.

"Um yes, but let's pretend you're not okay?" smiled Cindi eagerly.

"Sure" Draco put his books in his bag. When he looked up Cindi was gone also.

"Mr. Malfoy, do you love being in this classroom?" Snape was standing very close to Draco and breathing down his neck which made the tiny invisible hairs on this neck stand on end.

"No, sir" said Draco so nervously that you could barely hear him.

Snape stood back a little and folded his arms, "Then I suggest you leave now. I need to lock up the classroom. I have an important date and don't intend to miss it." With that Draco scampered out of the classroom.

'OMG I can't believe this is his and I'm holding it in my very hands.' Cindi clutched the paper in her hands and smiled so much she couldn't see out of her eyes. She'd almost bumped into Kevin, her wife.

"Gosh Cindi" he stretched the last vowel and pretended to be offended, "watch where you're going." Cindi didn't seem very interesting in what he'd said. Then Kevin noticed the piece of paper in her hands and snatched it.

"Hey fucker, give that back!" Cindi tried to get the paper back but Kevin raised it high above her head. He taunted her waving the paper back and forth.

"Gee, I wonder what THIS is, haha" Kevin took the paper and began reading it.

"OMG Imma kill you so bad. Give it back now or- " Tears began streaming down Cindi's face. "Give it back"

"Gosh, fine then. I was only kidding you know." Kevin handed the paper back, but Cindi didn't take it. She was too busy crying.

"Aw c'mon Cindi, I was just kidding." He tried to cheer her up, but she refused to smile. Kevin patted her on the shoulder. He was beginning to worry that he really did hurt Cindi's feelings.

Just then Mark walked by and he was walking very fast. Cindi stopped crying instantly. She followed him to see where he was going.

Kevin was confused. "Uh, Cindi? Are you okay?" but she wasn't listening.

As Cindi turned the corner, she and Mangala ran into each otherh ead on. Mangala screamed and Cindi cursed as the both lost balance and fell the ground.

"Cindi Keeewok, what is the meaning of this madness?" said Mangala in a humorous Indian accent.

"I was trying to see where Number3 was going" Cindi helped Mangala get up.

"What! Then what are you doing standing around here woman!" Mangala got up and pushed Cindi away. "Go and follow him you crazy stalker."

Cindi eyed Mangala with great annoyance, but since time should not be wasted she left to continue her pursuit of Mark.

"That silly girl" chuckled Mangala to herself.

Meanwhile, Kevin noticed that Harrison was walking by also.

"Hey Harrison, where'r you going?" Kevin started walking towawrds him, but it seemed as if Harrison didn't hear him and kept walking. Kevin was having trouble catching up with Harrison. By the time he caught up he was out of breathe and couldn't clearly talk without taking quick deep breaths.

"Uh.." said Harrison not looking at Kevin. He did that a lot. Since Kevin didn't say anything Harrison walked away.

When Kevin finally did think of something clever to say, Harrison was no where to be seen.

'Dammit, I'm such a loser' Kevin kicked the wall next to him.

"Hey, watch it there boy!" the painting shouted at him.

"Gosh, sorry" Kevin stretched out the last vowel in an irritated voice.

Next Chapter: Cindi is such a loser. Can she ever get enough courage to talk to Mark? What about Draco? His attempts seem futile; she doesn't even notice him! Who does Snape have an important date with? And why is Harrison always leaving? We shall find out next chapter AND meet some new/other characters.
