Chapter 1- CrushCrushCrush
Ivy ran hurriedly to the front door, still properly buttoning her shirt. She sighed at her carelessness. How could she fall asleep? She slowly opened the door. Not wanting anyone to know her presence. It was already pass the curfew.
It was so quiet and gave her a bit chill. She looked around and carefully taking step to the dorm. Ivy hoped no one going to patrol tonight. As she walked to the hallway, she heard footsteps behind her. It could be one of her professor or the prefects. Ivy panic and hurried her steps.
Before she knew it, she felt a hand grabbed her and took her into the empty class. She rolled her eyes, surprised to see a boy before her. Both of them standing with her back leaning firmly on the door. The boy still has his right hand on her mouth, preventing her from doing any noise.
Tom Riddle, she whispered but he couldn't hear as he was busy to make sure there was no one out there. Ivy was examined his features. His curly hair, sharp jaws and most handsome face she ever saw. Ivy realized that, his other hand still holding hers. His hand so warm contrast with her chill hand.
After confirming that no one was there, Tom Riddle turned to the girl before him. Still unaware their position, Tom stared blankly on Ivy. Her breathing was heavy and her eyes fixed on him. After heard her cleared her throat, Tom finally aware how close they were. He let go his hand but still pinned her on the door.
"What are you doing?" she asked quietly. "What are you doing at this hour?"
"I could ask you the same question." He replied with the same tone. "I'm prefect after all. It's my duty tonight. What about you, Gordon?" he flashed his famous smirk.
Ivy bit her lips. "Let go of me." She struggled to free herself from his grip. As she tried to open the door, both of them heard another footstep. They heard a voice, which belong to Professor Snape. This is not good! Ivy sighed heavily.
Tom Riddle shushed her. "Be silent Gordon or Snape going to find us." He whispered right to her ears.
"I prefer he find us." She tried to argue which was pointless.
"Do you? With us like this? In empty room? How would he think about us?" He asked her.
"We did not doing any wrong. Beside you dragged me here!"
"You think he is going to believe you?" He questioned her. He was right. Snape was the most pessimist person she ever met. He always assumed that every student has their own agenda.
After few minutes, Tom released her from his grip, distance himself from her. Ivy gave him a cold stare and went out quickly from the room. She can't believe what was just happened to her. Even though she did has crush on Tom Riddle but he was very suspicious. What a weird encounter .
