This is a short chapter, I found it recently and need to get back into it. Will hopefully be updating more regularly.
I walked up the front steps, tears blurring my eyes. I raced to my dormitory as soon as I could and flung myself on my bed. It was all such a mess. My feelings were in utter turmoil and I felt sick.
Suddenly the door flew open, I looked up in shock. Teddy was standing there looking absolutely furious.
"What the hell Vic?"
I hiccupped and sat up, wiping my eyes
"What do you mean?"
"Come on, all this is so stupid, I hate not talking to you, please can we make this better? I'm sorry about Cynthia, I thought you knew."
The silence was deafening, roaring in my ears
"Knew what?"
Teddy's eyes widened,
"At Christmas, Cynthia and I were...already...you know" He faltered.
At this point it clicked, it all made sense, why it had been so damn awkward.
"How could I possibly know Teddy? Who tells me that sort o this if not you. I didn't kiss you to win you back, I don't know what happened and I'm sorry. This has all got to confusing but I assure you I did not know at Christmas"
I saw a light of understanding in his eyes as he processed what I'd said. He came over and sat by the bed gently.
"I understand it now, but Vic I just want to be friends with you"
I laughed and smiled right into his face
"Teddy that's all I want to"
He leaned over and hugged me and I felt what had been lacking or me, his touch, his body close to mine. He stood up and smiled and left, leaving me on my own.
I no longer felt sick and although I knew Teddy and I had had exactly the same conversation before I felt kind of happy.
I washed my face and came downstairs to the common room, it was filling up again. I sat down and buried my head in my revision to distract me.
