Into the Rabbit hole

Chapter 4

I outstretch my arm and grab onto his shoulder, I pull him around to face me, and the sudden strength surprises me. I bend over, puffing and panting.

"Ingrid, I, I really, really can't talk. Ingrid meet me same place we met the last time." And with that Draco was off.

I don't bother racing behind him again. Did he just ask me on a date? Or is this just a friend thing? ARGH! Why is life so complicated? But I guess now I know that last night wasn't a dream…

I wrap my arms around my legs as I sit crouched near the lake. The moon wasn't quite as full as yesterdays but it was still beautiful. I check my watch, the time, its 9:25 Draco hasn't shown up yet. I made sure to brush my hair away from my face, last time he said I looked pretty with it like that. I also tried to sneak some make up from one of my roommates, but it ended up going everywhere so I gave up.

I could hear some leaves cracking and twigs breaking underneath my foot from behind me.

"Ingrid?" Questioned a familiar voice.

I turn my head around to face him; he was still in his school uniform and looked quite sick and tired. I give him a warming smile and pat at the ground beside me. As I looked back out to water I realize that I held my breath the whole time. I guess I'm not used to social interactions, exceptionally from the hottest most popular guy in the school. I just didn't want to scare him off.

At the corner of my eye I can see Draco talking a seat next to me. His legs outstretched.

"Draco, are you, are you ok?" I clear my voice and stare at him with helping eyes.

"No." I knew the answer already but the intensity and hurt that he put into the single word, made me second myself on how troubled he might actually be. I want to help, but I don't want to give the wrong advice. A million replies run through my head.

"You wouldn't understand but" He shot at me.

"Then help me understand, I don't judge" I reply steadily, monitoring each word to make sure I don't have another word vomit, where a whole lot of words just jump out of my mouth.

Draco looked at me, he seemed to be wondering weather he could trust me or not. A minute or so past.

"Ok, but we will be back in the castle way after curfew" He warned, maybe he was testing me?

"I don't care" I reply.
