Hello everyone! Well, I'm back from camping. It was fun but I'm glad to be home. So here is chapter 8. Hope you enjoy it!
Chapter 8:
This Guy really knows how to make me Angry
The next day I was feeling much better. Cedric and I had taken seat in the back of the Defense against the Darks Arts class and I had kept my mouth shut. I didn't need another text book flying in my direction. I really hoped the Moody had gotten an earful yesterday. He deserved it. Throwing textbooks at students, who does this guy think he is? Oh well, I could only hope he got in trouble.
Cedric and I had split after the second last class of the day. The learning part of the day was over and I was just looking for Cedric. We had decided to study together tonight, something that had been going on since that day he put his name in the goblet. But that wasn't the only reason I had for looking for him, oh no. As I was walking around the school during the day I saw people-mostly Slytherin and Hufflepuff students-wearing support Cedric/Potter stinks buttons. I wanted to talk to Cedric about it.
I was making my to the courtyard when I saw him, lounging around on one of the stone benches, his friends surrounding him like he was a god or something. That just made it worse. I glared before snatching one of the buttons from a passing first year Slytherin student. Okay Chloe, keep calm. I told myself before marching towards his highness.
"Chloe," Cedric sat up once he saw me heading towards him.
"What's this?" I asked, holding up the button.
"Uh…"
"Did you make this?"
"No, I didn't," I ignored that, blinded by my anger.
"You guys are representing the same school, for Pete's sake!"
"I know, Chloe won't you just listen?"
"And another thing, we were supposed to study tonight and you weren't even looking for me! You're lounging around like a king or an emperor!"
"Just listen to me,"
"No! Why should I?"
"Because-" I didn't let him finish.
"As far as I'm concerned you're just a self-centered showoff who craves attention." He stood up so fast that I had to jump back a little. He looked furious. I had never seen him like that. It scared me, quite honestly. I gulped while trying to keep my furious look on my face.
"At least I'm not some anti-social goody two shoes." Okay, that hurt. The hurt must have shown because realization and regret flooded into his features.
"Chloe, I'm so-" I cut him off.
"Save your breath," I said before dropping the button and stomping off.
"Chloe, wait please,"
"Leave me alone." I yelled back. My eyes stung and I could hear his footsteps behind me. I took off as fast as I could as the tears started to pour.
A few hours later:
I was sitting in the common room doing the homework that I was supposed to do with Cedric. Cedric, that low life, self centered jerk! Whatever relationship we did have had been ruined in one little conversation. I realize that the things I said weren't exactly that nice either but he really didn't have to say what he did. I had just changed my mind about him to.
A group of people walked into the common room.
"Come on, Ced, are you still sulking about her?" Okay, I think I know Cedric well enough to know that his friends call him Ced for short. I quickly gathered my stuff and got up from my seat, high tailing it towards the girl's dormitory before he noticed me. Not fast enough though. He noticed me.
"Chloe, please wait." He begged, walking up to me.
"I don't want to talk to you, just leave me alone!" I demanded, picking up the pace.
"Chloe, please just listen." He pleaded, grabbing my hand. There was that tingly feeling again. What was the deal with that?
"No! I don't want to talk to you ever again!" I yelled. Everyone in the common room stared at us. I glared at everyone before pulling my hand free and running to the girl's dormitory, leaving Cedric standing there, dumbfounded. I risked a look back. He was just standing there, like his feet were nailed to the ground or something. I bit my lip. There was a part of me that wanted to embrace him and tell him that I was sorry and that I shouldn't have lost my temper like that. It was silly thing to get mad about. But there was also a part of me that said 'forget about him, he shouldn't have said that to you. Let him wallow in his grief.' I looked between him and the girl's dormitory. Maybe I just needed some fresh air. Yeah, that was it! I'll dump the books and go for a little walk around the school grounds. So I left the books on my bed and walked out into the common room. Cedric's friends were trying to cheer him up, he did look pretty blue. I ignored it and walked out. I passed the Slytherin Quidditch team captain, Marcus Flint on my way out of the school.
"Lumos," I whispered once I was outside. It was dark out so I would probably need a light to see where I'm going. I started my walk, unaware of the footsteps behind me.
