Frankie's POV
'Please
stop!' I screamed.
There was silence. But he kept at it.
'No!
Please get away from me!' I screamed again.
I jolted up. Why do you hate me God? Must you make me repeat that night, every night? I looked at the clock. 5:00. I got out of bed and grabbed my clothes. Shower time! I was too afraid to go back to sleep. So I hopped in the shower.
When I go out I quickly dried myself off and used my wand to once again, dry it and straighten it.
You
should really do something for yourself for once.
Shut
up. I do things for myself all the time. I don't need magic. It just
helps.
Mmhh.
Aha!
Make up! I do that myself!
Whatever.
Hah
you know you were wrong!
I
may have been wrong, but you're still the one talking to yourself.
Damn.
You got me there.
I put on my robes and walked out of the bathroom taking a glace at the clock once again. 5:45. my room mates won't be waking up till 7. This is crappy.
I walked out of the room and down the stairs. I debated on whether to stay in the common room or walk around the halls like a mindless idiot.
Mindless idiot won. I left the common room with my bag
so I wouldn't have to come back. I walked around the halls and
entered the girl's bathroom.
"How come no ones ever in
here?" I asked myself.
"Because of me!" a voice
yelled. I turned around to find a girl. She was a ghost.
"Who
are you?" I asked.
"Myrtle. But they all call me Moaning
Myrtle." She said in a crying voice.
"It's nice to
meet you. I'm Frankie." I smiled.
She smiled back.
"So
how long have you been here for?" I asked attempting to make
conversation.
"Oh I don't know. It's hard to tell when
you're in a bathroom night and day." She said. We talked for a
while. I learned how she died, and how Harry killed the thing that
killed her. Actually, Harry had saved the school from Voldemort,
every year.
Wow.
Quiet little Harry? He stood up to Voldemort?
I
thought you told me you were me.
I
did indeed.
Well
than you should know he did.
You've
really got to stop being so rude.
You've
really got to stop being an idiot.
You
just called yourself an idiot.
You
just called yourself rude.
Shut
up.
Mmhh.
I
left the bathroom after saying goodbye to Myrtle. I walked down the
halls, and just kept going where my feet decided to take me. Until I
realized I had no idea where I was going. I turned around and walked
back hoping I would see something I recognized signaling to my mind
where to go.
I finally recognized where I was. I was soon
going to be at the Great Hall.
I started to sing 'Mr. Brightside'
quietly to myself. But when it came to the part 'But
she's touching his chest. Now, he takes off her dress. Now, let me
go'
I couldn't help but get louder. I actually started dancing too. If
you can picture it, a girl in a black robe, singing and swaying her
hips like a complete and utter idiot while singing out the lyrics to
Mr. Brightside?
After
I finished the song, I had an unbelievable urge to sing 'Somebody
Told Me'.
'Breaking
my back just to know your name. Seventeen tracks and I've had it with
this game. I'm breaking my back just to know your name. But heaven
ain't close in a place like this. Anything goes but don't blink you
might miss. Cause heaven ain't close in a place like this. I said
heaven ain't close in a place like this. Bring it back down, bring it
back down tonight. Never thought I'd let a rumor ruin my moonlight.'
I
can just imagine an outsider's point of view on me right now. I just
continued to sing my little heart away. As I was wiggling my hips
down the hallway, I felt someone put their arms around them. I jumped
and turned around. I looked at his face. He still kept his arms
wrapped around me.
"Why are you awake so early?" he
asked me.
"I just thought I would get ready before I got
trampled on by all the other girls." I lied. He smirked.
"Liar.
Its 6:30. You wouldn't have gotten up that early to wake up before
the others." He said.
"Yes I would have. I
thought getting ready would take longer than 45 minutes." I
said. That was partly true. I was a girl, why did it only take 45
minutes?
"Mmhh." He said not believing me. Then
it hit me. A bludger came and hit me
right in the head. No, I'm kidding. No bludgers. But the thought hit me like that. I was standing in the middle of a hall way wrapped in Draco Malfoy's arms.
"D...Draco." I stuttered. Damn it,
I stuttered!
"Yeah?"
he said looking in my eyes.
"D... do..." I started.
Speak
properly you idiot!
"Frankie,
why are you so nervous?" he said smirking.
"I... I..."
why
can't I speak? I'm never nervous around guys. Especially ones I've
known for a while.
You
like him, more than a friend.
No
I don't. You liar!
Oh
I think you do. You want him to tell you he likes you too.
No
I don't! I don't like him. I used to but not anymore.
Why
are you even trying to lie to me? I'm you. I know what your really
thinking dumbass.
"Frankie,
why are you so scared to talk to me? Are you on drugs? I thought we
discussed that drugs aren't the answer!" he said
smirking.
"You're an idiot." I said.
"Ahh there
we go. Now tell me what you were going to tell me before." He
said still smirking.
"I like to eat smurfs." I said.
WTF
was that?
I
really wish I knew.
Say
something to him! He's going to think we're retarded.
He
just stood there looking at me in utter confusion.
"Smurfs
eh?" he said smirking when he saw my cheeks turn pink.
"That
came out wrong." I said quickly.
"So I wasn't suppose to
hear about your secret love of eating smurfs?" he said
smirking.
"No. That was meant to be kept a secret." I
said smirking back.
"Frankie, would you just tell me now?"
he said. Why
did he want to know so badly?
"Can
we go get some breakfast? I'm starving!" I said pulling away,
hoping he would drop it.
He nodded and we walked into the Great
Hall. It was like half full when we got there. I sat down next to
him, and across from Blaise, and Flint.
"Hey guys." I
said while grabbing some waffles.
"Hey, Frankie. Where did
Draco and you come from?" Blaise asked smirking.
"The
hallway?" I said, putting on syrup.
"I see... so what
classes do you guys have?" he asked.
"Potions, DADA,
Herbology, Transfiguration, and Divination." I said.
"Eww.
I have every class with you"
Draco said sneering.
"Uhh! Damn!" I said sarcastically.
Draco and I burst out laughing. Blaise and Flint just sat there
looking at us like we were 'special'.
"Well I guess we
should get to class" I said getting up.
"You sure you
don't want to get some smurfs before we go?" Draco said
smirking.
"It was an accident!" I said trying not to
laugh.
"I think they're on drugs." Blaise said to
Flint. Flint just nodded. He didn't talk much.
Draco and I walked into class and sat down in the back. There were a few people in there already.
I pulled out my binder and a pencil. I started drawing on my binder mindlessly. I wasn't even looking I was just staring out the window that was on the opposite side of the class room.
"Why are you writing my name on your binder?"
Draco asked, pulling me out of the trance I was in.
"Sorry,
what?" I asked.
"You were drawing my name on your
binder" he said pointing to it.
Oh
my god. I was.
I
told you! You LOVE him!
Shut
your face.
Shut
my face?
SHUT
UP!
I..."
Dear old Snape walking into the room cut me off.
"Open your
books." Was all he said.
"And what would the page number
be? We're not all psychic." I said to Snape. The entire class
looked at me shocked I had said that. The he turned around and looked
at me.
"Ahh… Miss. Patricks. I see you've come to disturb
my class." He said.
"No, just to disturb you." I
said smiling. I heard people getting shocked again. But then... he
did a Malfoy. He smirked at me.
"382. I'll see you after
class Miss. Patricks." He said still smirking and walking to his
desk.
Draco looked at me in shock.
"What?" I
asked only loud enough for him to hear.
"He likes you."
He said.
"Why?" I asked.
"You stood up to him.
No one other than me has done that." He said smirking.
I
smirked back.
The bell rang and class was over. I went to leave but then I remembered Snape wanted to see me. I told Draco to go on without me because I might be a while.
I walked over to
his desk.
"You rang sir?" I said
"Don't do that
ever again." He said
"I'm not following." I
said.
"Don't talk back to me. Or you will have detention for
the rest of the month." He said.
"Yeah, yeah. I get it.
Anything else?" I said.
"Yes. Tell Mr. Malfoy, that I
finally approve of his new girlfriend." He said.
"What?
He has a girlfriend? Who?" I asked wanting to know.
"That
will be all Miss. Patricks." He said.
"Oh come on you
can't leave me hanging like this!" I said pleading to know.
"I
said that will be all." He said in an angry tone.
"Fine.
But I need a note saying why I'm late." I said smiling.
He
nodded and handed me the note, and I walked out. I smiled as I saw
Draco leaned against a wall.
"I told you not to wait for
me!" I said
"I
know. But I figured you would get lost." He said simply.
"Who's
your new girlfriend?" I asked.
"What? I don't have one."
he said.
"Well Snape seems to think you do." I
said.
"Why? What did he say?" he asked and stopped
walking so he could hear my answer clearly.
"He said ' Tell
Mr. Malfoy, that I finally approve of his new girlfriend' and that's
a direct quote." I said. Then Draco smirked then started
laughing.
"He was talking about you. Dumbass." He said
walking away still laughing.
"What?! Why does he think we are
going out?" I called and ran after him.
"Because you
were sitting next to me. Only the girls that I like are allowed to
sit beside me, my rule not his." He said smirking still
walking.
"Oh that's disgusting. Pansy has sat there? I
don't think I can sit with you anymore Draco." I said acting as
if I really was disgusted.
"I wouldn't let Pansy sit there.
Are you nuts?" he asked.
"Draco..." I said looking
around me.
"Yeah?" he asked
"Where are we?"
I asked.
"Oh. Shit. I took the wrong hall." He said. He
grabbed my hand and pulled me as we ran to Defense against the Dark
Arts.
We finally got there and walked in the class. The entire
class was watching us. I'm guessing they noticed the fact that we
were both out of breath, and the fact that he was holding my hand. I
looked around. Oh god they really did think that.
"Oh
god no! We were not just doing what you think we were!" I said
to the entire class, as they snickered.
"I swear! We were
talking to Snape! Here's the note to prove it!" I said handing
it to the teacher.
"Alright. This note does excuse you both.
Sit down and stop disturbing the class!" the teacher yelled. We
sat down and I turned to Draco.
"It excused us both?" I
whispered to him.
"I guess he figured I would be waiting
outside." He said shrugging.
The rest of the day went by rather quickly. Even though half the school now thought that I was Draco's new 'Flavor of the Week'.
Draco and I walked to The Great Hall for dinner. We were both laughing about something stupid that had happened earlier. I was still getting glares from all of the girls. But I didn't care any more. I was used to it.
We sat down and I grabbed some Fettuccine Alfredo. It just tastes so good. Yum! I thought as I hungrily dug into it. I was stuffing my face like a bulimic girl
right
before she was about to purge. I put great thoughts into your head
eh?
"Frankie,
its okay to chew you know." Draco said smirking at me.
"It's
so good Draco!" I said smiling when I wiped my mouth so I look a
bit more presentable.
"You know most girls when they are
eating with guys, choose a salad." He said still smirking.
"Well
I'm not most girls now am I?" I said smiling.
"No.
You're not. That's what I love about you." He said smirking.
I smiled back. I turned to Flint. Time
to crack that shell he is in!
"So
Flint, what's up?" I asked.
"Umm nothing. How are you?"
he said looking at me like I was the first person to ever talk to
him.
"I'm okay. It's not the best thing to be thought of as
Draco's new slut, when they haven't even seen me kiss him, not that I
would. But other than that wonderful!" I said smiling. He
laughed.
"So do you like-" Flint was cut off. By Draco.
Stupid ass.
"Frankie come on. Let's go" he said.
"I'm
talking Draco. Flint was asking me something. Wait like 5 minutes
okay?" I said trying to be as nice as possible. Even though it
was so fake.
"Whatever. I'll be in the common room." he
said. I turned back to Flint. He had a look of shock and happiness on
his face.
"Thanks. But you could have gone. I was only going
to ask you if you liked Hogwarts." He said still smiling. He had
the worst teeth I had ever seen. But he was sweet, so I made an
attempt at ignoring them.
"Yeah I know. I like Hogwarts
actually. It's great. So much more different than my old school."
I said smiling. He leaned close to me to tell me something quietly. I
leaned forward to hear it.
"Thanks for talking to me. I know
you're just being nice. But I like talking once and a while." He
said.
"Anytime. And no I wasn't trying to be nice. I like
talking to you!" I said smiling. We both leaned back to how we
normally sit.
"Well I'm off to see Draco. I'll see you
later!" I start getting up and walking out of the Great Hall. I
walked into the common room and saw Draco sitting on the
couch.
"What's up?" I said sitting down next to
him.
"Frankie, I hate you." He said.
Did
he just say what I think he did?
No
I just put that image into your head. He's really in his room.
Are
you serious! Why would you do that?
You're
an idiot. I was being sarcastic.
"What?
Why?" I asked still shocked.
"Because you're making me
fall in love with you again. And I know I can't be with you. So
you're leaving me here depressed all the time, because I always get
what I want. This, I must say is a first." He said looking
down.
"I thought you said you just wanted to be friends."
I said with an eyebrow raised.
"What did you expect me to
say? You told me that's all you wanted. There was nothing I could
have said to make you change your mind." He said.
"Peanut
butter and fried pickles!" I yelled out.
Seriously,
what's wrong with you?
I
scream out random things when I'm nervous.
Tell
him that then. Before he goes for Pansy instead!
You're
stupid.
"I'm
sorry. I yell out random things when I'm..." I stopped. I
shouldn't have said anything. I should have just run up to my room. I
would have looked like an idiot, yes. But I wouldn't be sitting here
awkwardly.
"Frankie,
do you..." he stopped when he saw everyone piling in to the
common room. I guess dinner was over. The room got crowded quickly,
and I got up.
"I'm going to bed." I said.
"But...
Yeah me too. I'll see you tomorrow. And if you wake up early, take me
with you." He said smirking.
"Alright. See you
tomorrow." I said when he pulled me into a hug. He hugged me in
front of everyone in Slytherin. This was very... unDraco of him. I
hugged him back nonetheless. And pulled away and went upstairs to my
room. I sat on my bed for about 30 seconds when Lilly, Carrie and
Rachel ran into the room.
"Frankie! He hugged you! Now
you can't tell us that your still just friends!" Carrie screamed
with joy.
"Sorry girls. But it was a friendly hug. No
shagging going on here." I said.
"Are you serious?
Because the entire school thinks you're dating!" Lilly
said.
"Eww. They do? Why? Where's the proof?" I asked
quickly and angrily.
"Yes. And to your other questions, I
don't know." Rachel said.
"Well girlies, I'm off to
sleep now. Nighty night!" I said switching my light off making
the room pitch black. They all sighed and got up and left. I slowly
drifted off into a sweet slumber.
