The missing chapter

'Finally! After all of that wasted time those two are finally together!' Cherie mused to herself as she surveyed the people leaving the room of requirements. Glancing at two of the participants leaving the room a wave of guilt and self loathing washed upon her. Stepping out of the door and turning to close it Cherie silently hopped that they would both leave her alone for a while to sort out her feelings.

"hey." Came a serious male voice from behind her as the door clicked shut. 'no such luck…' Cheries sighed and steeled herself for one of her classsic mess ups when it comes to guys. Unfortunately despite al of her natural talent for seeing possible romance between others Cherie FAILED at her own love life. Already in her short life time she had had a crush on her best friend player cousin who barely knew she existed, dated one of her guy friends because she thought she liked him just because he told her he liked her first, and alienated a sweet asian boy because he told her that he thought she was perfect. Cherie really didn't want to repeat any of that but could see the train wreak already happening.

Blaise stood there and looked, just looked at Cherie. Cherie shivered whether it was because his staring was creeping her out or flattering she wasn't quite sure. "so about what I said before.. you don't have to marry me, but will you date me?" panic arose in Cheries mind 'NO!!!! say NO!!! run away! Hide!' but instead "um, sure… let's just keep it quite for a while though, okay?" Blaise grinned, "ya sure, I get it you don't want to hurt old Leif, right?" grasping at straws Cherie took the proffered out, "ya, kinda. I'm really tired I'll see you latter. Bye."

Unfazed by her lack of enthusiasm Blaise gathered her up in his arms and gave her a great big bear hug. "You're not going to regret this! I'm going to be the best boyfriend you've ever had!" As he let her go and waved good bye Cherie wondered if that was even possible.
