Charlie Mendez, her real name is Charlene Mendez, but prefers to be called Charlie. Half blooded wizard and she was proud of it, even with the bad names, she was never phased by it. She was indeed attractive, but reserved about it, very reserved about it. Charlie doesn't make an effort to look good, makeup is a nightmare to her, a brush, which she uses once in a while, since her hair is always in a bun, light hazel eyes with a vicious look if she wanted to give. If she could she would rather wear pants, rather than skirt, the shirt and tie she could do without; so she's your basic tomboy.

Being in the 7th year, she's trying to have a ball. Faye, who is her best friend puts up with her and has been since the beginning of the 1st year. How she met up with Cedric was a bit different, she hated him. She hated his guts because he was too good in quidditch, in her opinion he was another Oliver Wood. Only he was a blond version. Until she actually talked to him and found out that he was just humble, humble and funny. They met in the 3rd year, when they had Herbology, accidentally spilling a goop on her she yelled at him, then later touched the goop, "Oh, cool!" she said.

Then like they said, the rest is history. As they grew Cedric turned into the usual 'I-am-popular-with-the-girls-but-feeling-humble-about-it' and Charlie became the 'I-just-look-innocent-but-I-make-a-lot-of-trouble' angel face. They were total opposites, yet, they managed to keep a good friendship. Talking to each other about what bugs them and what they need, they were in good terms with each other. But never in terms of love. When it came to a significant other, they usually kept that to themselves. Charlie would feel very uncomfortable if she talked to him about it boys and he would feel just the same, only with girls.

Charlie knew he always had girls following him, they adored him to the fullest. Charlie knew what kind of a guy he was, so only she understood him. Constantly they would ask her for advice or juicy things about him, but she won't say anything.

Cedric knows that there are a few boys that like her, but they seem rather scared of her. He can't seem to understand why they are afraid of her, he's not afraid of her. It's just a thing that he can handle and to him, she's not a burden. Though he wonders why no one asks her out. She is attractive and he could admit to that, but why?

It's been a week already and she still hasn't spoken to Cedric, she was still steamed about him yelling at her. Cedric too was steamed, he wouldn't say anything to her. Except for Ann, who happened to reminder her every day that she had detention with Professor McGonagall, with a smile and Cedric at her side. Looking at each other, he looked rather sad but she looked rather mad. Turning around and walking away, she ignored them.

Now it's Monday, a new week and she has two weeks of detention. Waking up to the thought as she rolled over, yelling in her pillow. Faye who was next to her, pulled her pillow out of her face.

"Wake up Charlie!"

"No! I don't want to."

"Get up! Or else your going to miss breakfast,"

"That's the idea!"

"No, get up now! You're going to get sick if you don't get something in your system"

"Good! So I don't have to go to detention and see that stupid Gibbles girl. Burn in he-" before she continued she was pulled down on the floor by Faye, jinxing her mattress she fell. "Awwww, what was that for?" rubbing her head, "Get up now!" she yelled at her and jinxed her again. "Aw, okay Sergeant Vicious. I'm up! Now stop it." yelling at her and grabbing her stuff.

The bump on her head was still there, rubbing it down she ate her toast slowly. "Aw damn Faye! Was that really necessary?" telling her in a tired tone with toast in her mouth, "Yes, because you almost missed class yesterday and you can't screw up! Not anymore." grabbing food and putting it on her plate, "Now eat up." commanding her. Still chewing the toast with her mouth full, the bell rang and it was time to go to class. Faye was quick to get up and grab her stuff and go, unlike Charlie, who took her sweet time with the toast in her mouth. Grabbing her messenger bag and humming a tune, she hauled on to her class.

It was a happy day for most, but for her it felt like a bore. She was feeling already crappy, due to the part that she was mad at Cedric and that he wasn't talking to her; also detention on top of it. Chewing what was left of her toast, she was stopped abruptly by Cedric when he stood in front of her, "Geeph, you thin you coul gibe me a warmimg sign?" she said with the toast in her mouth, Cedric gave a little smile.

"Sorry,"

"What's up? Came to remind me that I have detention again?"

"No. Not that?"

"Then what? Because I'm going to get busted if I don't get to class."

"When did you care about going to class on time?"

"When did you care about going to class on time?" mimicking his British accent, "Well it's my last year and I have to make the best of it. So if you don't mind, I have to take myself 'seriously' so I don't screw up." you retorted to him and walked away, but he kept following you. "Hey what's that suppose to mean?" Cedric sounded rather offended, "I'm just sayin that I need to pay attention to my school work, since you think that I don't take myself seriously enough." she told him in a matter-a-fact-tone.

"Now hold on just one minute there, you're still brining up that subject?"

"I don't know, that seems to be the only thing we can talk about since, Mr. Diggory, here doesn't know the meaning of fun!"

"What? If it wasn't for you and that stupid dung bomb none of this would of happened!"

"Rephrase that, if I was correct you were my partner in crime Mr. Diggory-"

"Stop calling me that!"

"What, 'Mr. Diggory?'"

"Yes, stop that! It's annoyin-"

"Why is annoying to you? Don't you like to take yourself serious, Mr. Diggory?"

"Stop it-Charlene!" he yelled at her, which made her gasp. He said her real name and he only calls her that when he's really annoyed and she hates it.

"You just when about and messed this up." she told him an acid tone.

"You're damn right I did?"

"Is that a challenge?"

"Maybe, maybe not?"

"Ooh, that's it! I can't bear this any longer, I'll see you in detention." telling him a final tone, then he walked up to her. Standing so close to her that she was unprepared and she took a step back, "Don't even come near me. I'm about ready to throw something at you." but he challenged it, "I dare you." they stood there in silence. For some reason she was ready to cry, her eye began to water up. Cedric looked furious and she wasn't expecting it, she had never seen him like this. Then his face suddenly changed, into calm and concerned look when he saw her eyes.

Charlie felt a single tear fall from her face; slowly she turned around, walking away from him. Cedric never seen her like this before, he felt rather shocked and disappointed within himself and with her.

I have more. Just give me sometime. Tell me what you guys think about this story.
