"Y/n! Stop walking." I stop in my tracks, stressed and I sigh. "What do you want?" I snap, unintentionally harsh.

"Why have you been avoiding me? Have you started to find me boring too? Too loney?"

My heart breaks a little. Okay, a lot. If only he knew that I view this man as the complete opposite.

He's not boring, hes charming and wonderful. We can talk for hours on end about anything and I love it.

I love him. No, not like a really close friend; like something more than that.

"What? Tom, you told me you needed space to study for exams, so I gave you some." I say, half lying.

"Y/n, exams ended a week ago, stop playing with me." I start walking again, biting my lip nervously.

"Stop walking away from me, Y/n." He grabs my wrist and I dont know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm not playing with you."

You're playing with me. I love you so much Tom, but I don't know how you feel when we study together, eat together, walk together- god I could go on for ages. You're playing with me!

"Y/n? Hello?" I'm snapped out of my thoughts and look at Tom with blurry eyes.

His voice is softer when he speaks now. "So give me an explanation because I don't understand."

"Tom, the only explanation is because I'm so tired of... of having to pretend you're my friend when I have deeper feelings for you! Okay? Happy now?"

His hand comes up from my wrist to cup my cheek but I turn my head away and breathe shakily.

"Why didn't you tell me, sweetheart?"

"You weren't looking for a relationship." I say quietly.

"Let's go to my dorm. Please." I nod and let him guide my body to his dorm.

- Fast forward. We are in the best relationship 🤍

"Well, hey Mrs lover girl." Malfoy says as he sits next to me in the library. Well what a way to disturb my peace. A pretty good looking one too.

I raise a brow. "Excuse you?" I say joking with a small smike on my face.

"I saw the love letter in your dorm today. Seems like someone has finally won you over."

'...finally..." No, Draco. Not finally. I've been in love with you since forever. You just haven't realized.

"You went through my stuff?" I question, closing my book. "No... it was on the table and I got curious. I'm sorry."

"It's whatever, you're good." I say, hoping he doesn't know it's about him.

"Don't you want to tell me, your best friend, who it's about?" He teases, nudging my elblow.

"And why would I do that?"

"I could help you get closer to him. You're a very pretty girl, I'm sure he won't reject you."

"What? How?"

"Because it's you." I say, staring into his blue eyes and not believing what I just said.

"Are you serious?"

I don't say anything.

"I should've known when you talked about a blonde guy. Y/n, are you sure?" He blurts out.

"I've been sure." He analizes my face and smiles softly.

He leans closer and kisses the skin next to my lip and I melt right there. "I told you he wasn't going to reject you, and I was right."

I smile so big, chuckling and geabbing his neck, kissing him. We were very happy after that.

"Who is it?" I ask when I hear a knock on my dorm door.

"Enzo." My stomach drops when I hear his voice.

Well, what a surprise. I haven't been going to classes because - honestly - I haven't taken the news of Lorenzo getting a girlfriend very lightly.

He was my best friend. My everything. My studying partner. My hogsmede buddy.

It's not jealousy of his girlfriend, I genuinely want Lorenzo to be happy. But deep down, I know it was meant to be me.

He comes in and I sit up on my bed, leaving space for him. He doesn't sit. Just stays standing and crosses his arms.

"You've missed a few classes. Are you sick?"

"No, I mean... I don't feel well. I'll be back soon though." I force a smile.

"You sure? Don't you want me to get you something?" Ironic.

"Get me something? Do you even have time now since you're always busy with your girlfriend. I thought you'd forgotten about me." I say that last part quietly.

"Forget about you? You're my best friend, y/n."

"Exactly, Lorenzo." He raises a brow.

"What do you mean?"

"I've never had the chance to be more than that. Yet I've always believed in it. In us."

"What are you saying?"

I turn my head away, tears coming at my eyes. "Oh..."

The friendship was never exactly the same. But you were invited to his wedding. Not as the wife.

• 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐳𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐢 •

Tourture. That was the only word to describe what I was going through right now as Blaise asked for me for advice.

Advice about his love life.

"So, how do you recognize girls who like you for who you really are. Because sometimes I feel like girls want me for something else."

I felt a pinch in my heart.

I don't like him for who he is. I love him for who he is. For who he was when we were kids. And I'll love him for whoever he'll be in the future - no doubt.

"Well, I don't know. She needs to show you that she loves you for who you are. It's the little things - supporting you in your decisions and helping you when you need it."

I'm right here.

"Well, I've never met a girl like that."

Are you fucking kidding me?

"Exept for you." He says, chuckling and brushing away the idea. "That's probably it. I need to find a girl like you!"

"Why are you even looking, Blaise?" I say quietly, tilting my head.

"Huh?"

"You keep looking for the right girl when I'm right fucking here." I say, letting out a breathless chuckle.

"Y/n... I didn't know..."

I didn't look at him in the hallways anymore, didn't give him the card in mt chocolate frog anymore, didn't go with him for Christmas, didn't matter to him anymore.

"You were right, Y/n." Theodore says, inviting himself into my dorm.

"I always am. But about what this time?" I spin my chair around to face him sitting on the bed and smiling.

Oh, baby.

"Your advice. I went to talk to Jasmine and she complemented my eyes." He says, smiling.

"Oh... I'm really happy for you." I say, forcing emotion into my voice.

Complemented his eyes? He could cut me open and I'd stitch the wound back up with thread the colour of those beautiful blue eyes.

"She said she loved my hair and she touched it." A light pink spread through his cheeks.

"That's it?" I said, harsher than intended.

"Huh? What did you want her to say?"

"If I were her, I'd say that my heart beats so fast when you walk into a room that I can barely look into your eyes. Fuck- those eyes they're so beautiful. That you haven't left my mind since I've met you and... and..." My voice breaks.

Why isn't it me?

He sits up straight. "Y/n..."

"Those are the words a guy like you deserves, Theodore."

"Don't... Y/n... Why didn't you tell me?"

"I really hope you'll be happy with her. You deserve the best. Just leave now."

He never gave up on me. Maybe someday.

"You will never believe." I lightly jump, laughing as Mattheo sneaks up on me and sits down next to me in the astronomy tower.

"What happened?" I say, observing every inch of his perfect face. My favorite thing was his smile lines.

Proof that wherever he goes, he has a smile on his face and brings sunshine everywhere.

"You know Lisa in my class?" He asks.

"Mhm. What about her?"

"I asked her out on a date and she finally said yes!"

My smile falters and I hesitate, my heart cracking. Lisa? A girl he's known for about 3 months over a girl who's loved him his whole life.

Me. There through thick and thin. Through his problems and through the good times. Ever since the age of 8, there was not one moment where me and Mattheo weren't together.

Maybe I'm just a fool.

"I've been trying to get her attention for weeks, and, gosh. She is not easy."

Well, guess who is easy, Mattheo? Me. In one snap of your fingers I would be the girl walking down the altar. Your girl.

"That's great. Happy for you." I purse my lips, he doesn't get the hint... ironic. He hasn't got the hint that I love him for like 7 years.

"I thought no one would ever want me."

"Really? Well there's someone who has been, not wanting, but needing and hoping for you to love her back."

I turn my head away.

"What do you mean?" He budges. Daft, daft boy.

"Think, Mattheo, think."

"I'm so confus... oh."

I getting up but he beats me to it, towering over me. I blush, but forget it.

"You wanna talk about this?"

"What is there to talk about, Mattheo?"

"I- I'm sorry." I instantly feel bad, subconsciously running my hands down his chest.

"Do you really like Lisa. Genuinely?"

He thinks for a small moment.

"You're the one I want. It's you. I'm so fucking stupid... I love you. Is it too late?"

I'm shocked.

"I love you too. Too much, Mattheo."

- Fast forward : We are in a surreal relationship. And he proves his love to me every night. Without fail.
