Chapter 1 ~ the clumsy accident
Mattheo riddles pov
I see the train arrive and get on the nearest carriage. I have no time to care about where I sit. Draco and blaise enter and see me. They sit down draco next to me and blaise opposite. The window being my rest as I lean agasint it. Silence filling the claustrophobic carriage. "how was your summer?" blaise asks. I resist the urge to roll my eyes as I answer half heartedly "like any other. And you?" I tilt my head to look at blaise not exactly caring about his answer. My thoughts scattering as blaise answers and I pay no attention. We hear laughter erupting the halls as we all turn our heads to see them. Pansy fricken parkinson and yn godamn y/l/n. Me draco and blaise give eachother a knowing look
"so. What are the plans for this year" draco says not taking his eyes off them as they sit in the carriage opposite. blaise scoffs before answering "they are off limits and know their worth. We can't do shit bout that" *I smirk at blaise* "I'm always up for a bet" I say
"which one. Pansy or yn" draco says snarkly. I smirk back "which one wouldn't be so obsessed with me when I give the slightest of attention" almost instantly blaise replies "yn for sure. She's stunning and doesn't pay any attention to us. Not that we notice anyway. I mean look at her. I would choose her over you to any day" I give a half hearted chuckle and eye her up and down before looking at blaise and smirking......
The train comes to a stop and we step out the carriage. We make our way to the slytherin table. Me draco and blaise sat next to eachother with 2 empty seats opposite. Yn and pansy stroll in laughing. Acting like they own the place. Or like they don't care who does own the place. They sit opposite us unwillingly not even glancing at us. I give draco and blaise the same knowing look as before.
Time passes by yn and pansy seem to be enjoying themselves. Me and the others (draco and blaise) talk about what may happen this year. I reach for a drink and my grip slips as I spills over yn. Shit shit and shit. I stand up and look at her "my bad" she stands up and untucks her blouse as she notices the spillage causing it to go see through. Draco and blaise erupt in laughter as pansy bites her lip to conceal hers. "it's fine.." yn says not even looking up. I can tell she don't mean it but there's not much I can do.. I sit back down and raise my eyebrows watching her.
She walks off outside and I'm half tempted to follow. I don't. I just carry on as usual.
The bless rings for class and I make my way as I bump into someone. Yn. Shit shit and shit. Again. "damn you must be clumsy" she says with a half smile as she picks up her dropped items "maybe your just accident prone" I return as I help her. "what class you got next" I ask as I stand up "potions. And you" I nod and tilt my head a random combination I do which apparently makes the girls flutter. "I'll walk you there. I have potions aswell" I stand next to her as we walk. She doesn't make much eye contact but I don't care. "wow such a gentleman riddle. Almost unexpected" she says with a hint of sarcasm. I just scoff and nugde her slightly "yeah well for a y/l/n you seem a bit self absorbed" we make our way into class and I see her roll her eyes. We never got on well but this year started off better than normal.
We sit down a spare seat between us. The same seating plan as last year. I look at her through the corner of my eye as she focuses on the teacher "what now clown" a nickname she's called me since the first year "why are you so focused on a lesson you know you will already fail" I hear her scoff and she shakes her head "unlike you giving up isn't something I do. Ya know. Like how you give up and fail everything" I press my tongue against the inside of my cheek. "I don't fail everything I just simply succeed in doing the worst" she sighs and doesn't respond. I don't think I've ever hold eye contact or a decent conversation with her for a normal time.
The class ends and then soon enough so does the day. There's a party to celebrate the new year at the slytherin common room. Surpringly only slytherins allowed. I wear my usual grey long sleeve with a white t over it and joggers. I'm known for my lack of care in looks. Clear through my messy dark brown hair. My deadly looks and intimidating stares. My scars just proving the fights I get into. Only about me or my dad. No one can get me to fight over anyone else. I won't fight for or about my friends. I didn't even fight for my exes. I don't believe in love. I can't.
I make my way to the party. Everyone looking decent. The girls wearing there normal skirts and dresses and the boys in blouses or jeans. I grab the lack of alcoholic cider in a red cup and sip at it leaning against a wall. My other hand in my pocket as I stare into nothingness and of course me daze transfers to the stunning duo entering. One wearing a red dress the other a black one. The same style. The same shoes. Pansy and yn.
The iconic game of truth or dare commences and we all sit around. Lorenzo draco blaise pansy yn and astoria. The pick me narcassist. The girl in love with all the boys. She's wearing something too revealing it hurts even me to look at.
