~well great~

*Maria*

I was so thankful it wasn't a school day. I never wanted to show my face again after I embarrassed myself practically infront of eveyone. I went back to my dorm took a shower in hopes it helped me feel somewhat better.

I kept thinking about the kiss with draco and I felt disgusted. It could've been anyone and it had to be that blond git.

I changed into some comfortable clothes grabbed a book and read. I hadn't even noticed I dozed off until I heard a knock the door. "It's open" I yelled. Alice came In and took a seat on my bed. "Merlin I feel awful" she tells me as she lays her head in my lap.

We both ended up falling asleep. I hadn't even noticed how much I've missed my bestfriend. I woke up to a letter on the desk with my name on it. Alice was still sleeping so I quietly got up.

I opened the letter, it was from my aunt freya.

Dear maria, I'm glad to hear from you and know you're doing well. I have been staying at the Mikaleson mansion for some time. Your father is very proud of you along with your aunts and uncles and of course me, your favorite aunt. I miss you and alice too much. Stay out of trouble
Xoxo~freya M

I smiled and placed the letter on the nightstand. I could really go for a coffee right now. I woke up Alice who was a bit cranky and convinced her to go with me to get coffee from a small shop near the school.

I hadn't even realized how close the coffee shop was. I should start coming more often. Alice got her a hot tea and I got a latte. On my way out I ran into someone and spilt my latte all over my shirt.

"Merlin, watch where the bloody hell you're going" I say a bit annoyed. "Oh I'm so sorry" the boy tells me

I look up and noticed he looked fimilar. He was that cute hufflepuff boy I seen awhile back "here let me buy you a new one" he offers. "No it's fine I should get going"

"Please I insist" he says with a smile. "A latte was it?" The boy asks. I nod and smile

"I'm sorry for lashing out I just reacted" I say as He hands me the coffee and apologizes again. "I should've watched where I was going. I'm Cedric by the way, Cedric diggory" he says as Alice is gesturing me to go

"Maria" I say politely. "I know" he smiles and looks down to the floor.

"Well I should get going, nice to meet you Cedric" I say with a small smile. He waves as me and Alice walk out the cafe.

I hadn't even noticed I was blushing and smiling the whole way back until Alice pointed it out. "So Cedric huh?" She gives a cheeky smile. I rolled my eyes and took a sip of my coffee.

After we got back I changed my shirt that felt gross and sticky and decided to check my calendar. I went to check my calendar to see when the potions exam was and Marked right on the 18th I seen "the day my life changed" written on the calendar, tomorrow would mark 1 year. 1 year without Stiles one year without someone I love, loved deeply.

All of a sudden I felt my throat close, my palms sweating. I felt like I was just going to collapse.

I went outside to get fresh air on the astronomy tower in hopes to be alone I held back my tears but the knot still in my throat was there .

When I climbed up I noticed I wasn't alone Enzo was right there sitting towards the edge. Right as I was about to turn back he said "where you off to darling"

I sighed and took a seat next to him.
I couldn't respond I would just break down right then and there. It took eveything in me to act like eveything was okay.

When enzo seen a look on my face he immediately knew I wasn't fine."What's wrong love" he says using his index finger to move my face to his. When he said those words I cracked. Tears started streaming quickly down my face and I couldn't help but cry.

"hey hey it's okay everything's fine darling" he pulled me in his embrace and just held me as I sobbed.

I normally don't like being comforted by anyone but being there letting it out to enzo, was comforting and reassuring. I never like anyone to see me in pain but I just couldn't help it.

After I calmed down I laid on enzos lap and i stared at the beautiful view outside. I could tell enzo wanted to ask what was wrong. He just didn't say anything.

It seemed to be getting later so I decided its best for me to get going. I sat up and locked eyes with Enzo who's hair was all ruffled and he looked a bit tired. My cheeks were soaked with tears, Without breaking eye contact he wiped my tears and stared at me with a look that I've never seen.

I looked down at his soft pink lips and before I knew it I crashed my lips into his. He grabbed my face and kissed me even more passionately as I ran my fingers through his hair. His tongue slid in my mouth as he lightly bit my lip.

Eveything felt so right, Enzo was so gentle yet passionate at the same time.
I collected my thoughts and I pulled away and looked down. This wasn't fair, not fair to Enzo. I'm not going to kiss him just to cope with my issues.

"Enzo, I'm sorry I got caught up in the moment I was just hurt and in a vulnerable state i don't know what" he cut me off.

"It was just a kiss no need for apologies" He says looking a bit hurt. I pulled the boy in a hug "thank you" I say with an appreciated smile. Deep down in me i knew that was more than a kiss. It felt like something bigger that I couldn't explain.
