Sorry for the LOOOONG delay in chapters. -__-; I've been so busy lately, but here it is! Chapter four of Trust Me. I'm thinking of changing the title, but I don't know yet. Oh well.

Enjoy! Review please!

The next morning, Jade woke up groggily. Her eyes refused to open were her alarm rang loud and clear in the room, making her groan. She slammed the alarm with her palm and the loud screeching came to a halt. She didn't make any attempt to get out of her bed; she was still tired and angry from the night before. The Slytherin was awake, but her eyes remained closed as she hugged her blanket closely.

It was stupid, get over it. She thought to herself, recalling why she even got into a spat with Pansy. It was pretty dumb, but she couldn't stand it when people talked to her rudely.

As she was lost in a train of thoughts of ideas to hurt Pansy and breakfast, a felt a pillow slam at her head. Jade groaned and rolled over to see who her attacker was. "Ugh, ow…" she moaned and rolled over to see Mikki standing with her own pillow in her hands. "What was that for?" She questioned, her voice tired.

"Wake up," she said without any sense of expression in the tone of her voice. "You're going to be late, plus Malfoy's probably waiting for you in the common room. You've become like some sort of horse to him," she remarked with a small smirk. She grabbed her cloak and walked out of the door, leaving no time for Jade to retaliate.

It seemed to Jade that she was right; she had turned into Draco's horse, carrying him around everywhere because he refused a wheel chair and crutches. Jade just sighed and rolled out of bed, heading for the showers. She took a quick one at got dressed, tying her black hair into a messy bun. She applied a bit of mascara and cover up to hide her dreadful dark circles she seemed to be getting ever since she's gotten to Hogwarts.

The tired Slytherin dragged her feet all the way to the common room, only to find it empty of Draco. She cocked her brow, wondering where he could be and why he wasn't waiting for her that day. Jade shrugged it off; less work for her today.

"I'm so hungry…" she mumbled to herself, walking to the Great Hall to grab some breakfast. She didn't get lost on the way there this time; lugging Draco around helped her remember which way to go even if the staircases move. She reached it in no time with little problems, entering the hall with and empty and roaring stomach.

Her emerald orbs wandered to the Slytherin table, her feet automatically taking her there. She spotted Pansy sitting next to an annoyed looking Draco, seeing the seat across from him was empty. Jade walked over and took the unoccupied seat as if it were reserved for her. Pansy glared daggers at her, but she ignored it and smiled with false joy.

"I see you didn't need my help this morning," she said to Draco, grabbing a piece of buttered toast. "Does that mean I'm off the hook for the rest of the day?" Jade somehow knew that Draco wouldn't let her go that easily.

The Slytherin Prince scoffed, "Yeah right. I have a whole pile of books that are waiting to be lugged around with your name on it," he joked. The blonde brushed a lock of his hair out of his eyes and set his fork down, signaling that he was done eating. "Hurry up and eat," he crossed his arms over his chest. "I want to get to class early today."

"I think I'll take my time then," Jade smiled sweetly and piled on eggs and bacon onto her plate. "Yum."

Draco only glared in response, so did Pansy.

She had been quiet since Jade sat down, giving her the 'I'm going to kill you' look every five minutes. She picked at the eggs on her plate, breaking them into tiny bits and pieces out of irritation. Jade noticed it and felt a little silly about what they were fighting about yesterday. It was stupid and Jade was the type of person to let it go, but she knew the pug-faced Slytherin wasn't that type.

Jade looked at her with a face full of false sincerity. "Sorry for about yesterday," she apologized. It wasn't her fault and she shouldn't be the one saying sorry, but Jade was a pro at being the bigger person.

Her apology seemed to surprise Pansy, even Draco. Pansy didn't even look sorry; she rolled her eyes and set her fork down. "You should be," she mumbled, looking away from Jade.

That even set Jade off; how as she not going to apologize? She didn't even say 'it's okay.' Jade glared at her and angrily stabbed her fork into the piece of half-eaten toast that was on her plate. She got up and looked at Draco, "Ready to go?" She just lost her appetite. Pansy was really starting to bring out the worse in her.

Draco was a little startled at seeing this side of her and nodded his head with a bit of intimidation. He grabbed his things and waited for her to walk around the table to help him up. "You're kind of crazy…" he mumbled as she turned to walk around for him.

"Let's go," she said and helped Draco up. He was able to limp around now, but the load of his books created a lot of pressure for him so it was Jade's job to lug them around along with her own books. She waited for him to limp in front of her and they set off to their first class.

When they exited the Great Hall, Draco looked down and the small Slytherin next to him. He cocked a brow, a small smirk on his pale lips. "You get angry pretty easily, you know?" He said out of nowhere as they walked to Transfiguration.

Jade knitted her eyebrows together, avoiding eye contact with the Slytherin Prince. "I'm usually not like this," she sighed. "It's just that damn Pansy really pushes my buttons. What the hell is wrong with her?" Jade turned her head to look at him, her eyes filled with irritation. She shifted the books into a more comfortable position in her arms and groaned. "I'm really starting to hate her…"

"She's a little…too attached to me. She gets jealous with any girl I talk to," Draco sighed as he limped along her side. "I don't know why, though. I thought by now she'd get the point that I'd never want to be with her, but she still keeps following me everywhere." He groaned, realizing that she's been by his side more after he told her that they would never be an 'item.'

Jade looked at him, her face with confusion soon bursting into sheer hilarity. She giggled wildly, hardly keeping composure at the thought of Pansy getting rejected by the Slytherin Prince and still pitifully following him around like a dog. "Oh…my…" she managed to breathe a little.

Draco's face heated with embarrassment for two reasons: One, she was laughing like an idiot and causing much attention to the couple and two, he found himself thinking of how cute she was when she laughed and made a fool of herself. The Slytherin shook the odd thought out of his head and continued to limp as she laughed.

After a while, Jade was still giggling quietly to herself. "You broke her ugly heart," she said when she finally caught her breath. "Don't you feel bad in the least?" She looked at him, knowing completely well he didn't give a damn. All she could do was smile her goofy little smile.

"Honestly, I did before she started to follow me around and stalk me," he shivered slightly. "Ugh."

"Hah!" Jade laughed, "She's pathetic. I shouldn't have apologized to her."

Draco cocked his brow. "Why did you apologize to her anyway? In my opinion, it she should've been the one to apologize." The Slytherin Prince looked down at the tiny figure next to him in curiosity. They both neared the Transfiguration class room.

Jade sighed, "I don't know." She wanted to tell him that she felt slightly sorry about what had happened, but she really didn't want to apologize to the pug-faced Slytherin. It'd just make her seem sillier after the sudden outburst she had which made it seem like she wasn't sorry at all.

"Well, you should calm yourself down around her. You're pretty scary when you're angry; I think you'll give me a nightmare tonight." Draco joked hoping to lift her spirits up.

Success.

Jade laughed and nudged him lightly in the arm, careful not to tip him over. "Shut up," she said and looked up at him. "You know, you're not as bad as I thought you were." A playful smile tugged at her lips.

The Slytherin Prince felt a slight cringe at his heart; what was this feeling? "You thought I was bad?"

"Well, you know you didn't actually come off nicely." She said as she recalled the incident where they first met. Now that she looked back on it, she found it pretty funny. If she told Draco that, he'd probably scold her and make her day worse that it was already becoming.

"You did drop your books on my feet," he retorted.

"True…but still, making me carrying all your books around, including mine is pretty harsh."

Draco scoffed, a smirk playing his lips. "Did you think I was going to let you off easy?" He was the Slytherin Prince, the big bully. Of course he wasn't going to let a girl who's injured him off so easily. She's lucky she only has to carry his books around and walk – sometimes 'carry' – him around everywhere.

Jade's eye twitched, shifting the books in her arms again. "It would've been nice…" She said half jokingly.

The Slytherin Prince only ruffled her hair and chuckled. "Don't expect it next time," he said as the approached the entrance of their Transfiguration class. Jade only ignored him.

The two sat down in their usual seats, Jade placing their books in front of them. The bell hadn't rung yet and Draco turned to Jade, his ice blue eyes locked onto the side profile of the female Slytherin. He observed her features and smirked once his eyes roamed to her chest. He looked away before he roamed any lower and before she caught him.

"Hey," he called out to her as she handed him his Transfiguration book.

Jade looked at him with knitted brows, "What?"

"It's Friday; would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me today?"

"Hogsmeade?" Jade cocked her head to the side; why Hogsmeade?

Draco only smirked. "I mean, if you're not busy. We can go some other time."

What's this? Draco was actually having a sweet side to him which Jade found rather awkward. The female Slytherin only shook her head. "No, I'm not busy, but why Hogsmeade?" She asked out of curiosity. She'd rather much go to Diagon Alley to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor and have him treat her for making her lug his books around all day for the past two days. She needed a break.

"Have you ever been to Honeyduke's Sweetshop?" He asked her with an innocent-like expression plastered on his face.

Jade's emerald eyes widened, her sweet tooth tingling at the sound of the mentioning of sweets. As much as Jade was a healthy eater, sweets was something she absolutely could not resist. The Slytherin morphed into some sort of child when she was around chocolates and jelly beans; sweetshops were like pure heaven to her.

"I haven't," she said, her excitement rising. "Are you going to buy me a million pounds of chocolates?!" She questioned him as she grabbed his arm and slowly rose from her seat, acting as if she was possessed or something.

Draco cocked his brow; what was wrong with her? He rolled his eyes, a small chuckle escaping his pale lips. "Sure, whatever."

Jade grinned and let go of his arm, squealing like a little girl. "Yaaaay!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands together as she sat back in her seat. Students were looking at her as if she were crazy. "Oh, I'm so excited!" She squealed again and gave Draco her happiest smile of the day.

At the sight of her smile, Draco's heart quickened in pace. What was this feeling he was having? It's been three days since they've met and she's already working magic over the Slytherin Prince. No, he thought. I will not let her effect me. But…she's so cute. Draco shook his head, his eyes in shock. Did he really just think that?

Jade noticed his expression, her happiness quickly fading to a worrisome expression. "Draco, are you okay?"

The blonde came back to reality at the sound of her voice and his eyes twitched slightly. "Y-yeah, I'm okay."

"You're pretty weird…" She said with a smile.

The bell rang signaling the start of class and the teacher came in, giving him no time to come up with a smart remark.

So, how was it? Next chapter, I'm going to bring Pansy in more since she is a main character. ___;

Well, thanks for reading! Review please!

Love,
