The Confessions of an Unloved Quidditch Star
Chapter 4: Mistake is my Middle Name
I looked over at my clock on my bedside table. It was 4:30 on a Saturday. I put my sheets over my head and tried to go back to sleep. I had to get up and go to practice in 2 hours. I wasn't ready to face George but Ange would never let me skip practice. I left out a sigh and sat up. I couldn't sleep I was freaking out too much. I closed my eyes. I remember reading in a book about how a girl could make time go faster with her mind. I concentrated really hard trying to make time go all the way to lunch so I could miss practice. I opened my eyes and glanced at my clock. 4:35. I laid down too hard and didn't aim right. So I smacked my head against the wall behind me. "Oww." I whined laying my head down on my pillow.
A half hour later I decided that I was going to get breakfast. I quietly got up trying not to wake my roommates and grabbed my clothes. I slipped into the bathroom and turned on the shower. As I waited for the water to warm up I look at my self in the mirror. My plain mousey brown hair was a little bit more messy than usual but still straight all the same. My hazel eyes more green just stared at me with sleep still in them. My nose was too pointy. I was the complete opposite as Jessica, small skinny frame, long raven black hair her sparkling green eyes and her perfect laugh. I sighed as I stepped into the shower.
At 5:00 I walked towards the Great Hall. I had my whole day planed out and how I would avoid George. I would eat breakfast quickly and leave before he got down here. I would change before he finished breakfast. Then I will get up on my broom so that I can keep an eye on him while he gets ready for practice so I can stay away from him.
As I stepped inside the Great Hall my heart dropped. Sitting alone at the Gryffindor table was George Weasley was about to turn around and run out of there when Angelina turned up beside my.
"Kates, what are you doing up so early." She said a little bit too loud. I felt his eyes on my back. My face was going red. "Well come on practice is soon let's eat." She grinned and pulled me over to the table. "Hey George, what are you doing up this early. You usually pull yourself out of bed 5 minutes before practice." She sat down across from him and pulled me down in the sit next to her.
"I'm just thinking." He said ruffling his hair and smiling at Angelina. I was trying to look anywhere but at him.
"Where is Fred" Angelina asked, "Still sleeping." I was currently pushing my food around my plate. I didn't hear George answer so I figured that he nodded. Angelina and George talked for a while until the rest off the team came down. I excused my self and a left for the dressing room.
I quickly changed into my Quidditch robes and walked out of the changing room. I let the breeze blow against my face as I walked out to the field. I jumped on my broom and took off. I did a couple of laps around the pitch. I felt so relaxed as my hair flew in the wind all around my face. I was brought back to reality when a familiar voice called my name. I rolled my eyes as I saw George waving at me.
I flew down to the ground. "Yes George." I said trying to act normal.
"Katie, can we forget about what happened yesterday? I want us to stay friends. Okay?" I just nodded and jumped back on my broom.
After practice I went straight up to my room. I laid down on my bed to think. Many thought ran through my mind. Then something my mother always tells me came to me. "When confused write a note to a friend. Writing will help you put things in perspective." I sighed and took at parchment and a quill. Soon I was done with my letter.
Dear Alicia,
I was a fool. I fell for a Weasley. I should have learned from when you fell for Fred, I was in year 3 you in year 4, and he broke your heart. As you always say "Any guy that makes you cry isn't worth it and the one that is won't make you cry." I never really got that until now. I thought George was worth it but I guess I was acting like a little girl with a stupid crush. All these years I have hated it when I was treated like I was younger than you guys but I guess I have been acting like it. Never again, I repeat never. I will not let a guy lead my life like this. Never again. No I don't hate George, I could never hate him. But he is just a friend. Not even a friend, he is a teammate. I am done obsessing. Jessica can have him. Thanks for everything Licc. See you later.
Love,
Katie
I sighed as a folded up the note and put it in my backpack. I looked at the time and slipped into bed. Soon I fell asleep.
The next day I forgot all about the note. I went on with my day just hanging out with Alicia and trying to avoid George. After lunch I remembered the note and a stopped to get it out of my bag. "Shoot where is it?" I said looking through my bag.
"Are you sure you put it in your bag." Alicia said
"Yes. Maybe it fell out of my bag." I said looking at her with fear on my face.
"Come on lets look for it." We spent the rest of the day looking for my note but we didn't find. When it turned dark we gave up and went up to bed exhausted.
"I am really sorry Katie."
"I just hope that no one found it."
"Yeah it would be bad if George found it."
"Oh no" I moaned and ran up to my bed room. I turned off my light but I just tossed and turned all night worrying about my note.
