i woke up and i got dressed and ready for the day.
i went down to the great hall to get some breakfast and all my friends were down there. emma and jo had come sit with us.
"anything with diggory this morning?" george asked.
"no? why is it your business anyway?" i asked
"because our sister had her first kiss" fred said
"and when did you have your first kiss?" i ask them
"last year" they both said
"who was it?" i ask
"emma" fred says
"NO WAY" i say "SHE NEVER TOLD ME SHE KISSED YOU"
"well..um..yeah" he says
"WHAT THE HELL EMMA" i say to her walking over to her table
"YOU KISSED FRED LAST YEAR AND DIDN'T TELL ME?!" i yell "AND YOUR FIRST KISS?!"
"SORRY I DIDN'T WANNA MAKE YOU MAD" she says.
i turn around to head back to my table and run into a boy with brown eyes and brown hair.
"oh i'm so sorry" i say not looking up at him because i was too embarrassed.
"it's fine love" i hear him say, helping me up
i look up and see that the boy was cedric. out of all the guys it had to be cedric.
"oh erm—hi, i-i'm gonna go" i say running
"RENEE!" he says running up to me
"what cedric?" i ask
"w-would you meet me at the tree by the black lake after classes?" he asks
"sure" i say walking to potions with him.
we enter the classroom and sit down at our seats. we were brewing a potion again and were the first ones to finish.
"renee, can we talk about las-"
"not right now" i interrupt him
class finally ended and i hurried out of there to not see cedric. it now felt embarrassing to be by him.
"RENEE" i hear "NEE PLEASE COME HERE"
i stopped because the only people who called me nee were my family and friends. not ced. i see emma running towards me.
"you know, i would've told you that i kissed fred. but i was afraid because i felt bad you hadn't had yours yet. i'm so sorry" she said
"oh i forgot about it it's not a big deal" i say
"promise?"
"promise"
it was the end of the day and i had to go down to the black lake to meet cedric.
"hey! why'd you want to meet me here?" i ask
"i want to talk about last night" he said
"ced, it's not big deal" i say
"but it is to me." he says "it was basically both of our first kisses and it was great, i kissed you because the moment felt right. i don't have feelings for you, i'm sorry"
i felt tears starting to form in my eyes but i blinked them back.
"oh, cedric it's not a big deal. i don't have feelings either." i said lying "it was a great day. thank you for the date.
my heart felt as if it were shattered. i didn't know what to do.
"oh, well of course, renee." he said "i thought it would be a good way to get away from your brothers, i could tell you were getting annoyed by them." he said as we both laughed.
"well, we should head back to the castle now." i say and we both walked up into the great hall. we didn't realize we'd been out there for a while and it was getting dark.
"here, i want to walk you up to your common room. it's getting dark and you never know, creeps" he says
we both walked up to the gryffindor common room and saw my brothers and friends there waiting there for me.
"thanks ced, see you tomorrow" i say
i wave him goodbye and then walk in to sit on the couch in between cosette and george.
"sooooo? did you guys kiss again?" george asked
"umm, no? he just said he doesn't have feelings for me and i don't have feelings for him either so it's fine" i say
"you have feelings for him" jo said "you've liked him since you were a kid"
he is such an idiot. he's in front of my siblings!
"you have?!" percy, george and fred all said
"i hate you jo" i said as i pinned him to ground with my elbow. i kept hitting his arms until fred and george had to pull me off of him.
"okay fine! yes i have, but why is that any of your guys business? but he wants to stay friends and i respect his opinion. now, if you all don't mind, i'm going to bed." i say
i started walking up to my dorm and as soon as i shut the door, i started crying so hard.
i tried falling asleep but i couldn't. i felt too dreadful to sleep and i couldn't think straight.
i heard the door open and expected it to be hermione or cosette. but it was george.
"nee...i hate seeing you cry" he said coming over to my bed "you don't have to stop crying, keep it coming. i don't care if you cry, i just want you to be okay."
i was now wrapped tightly in his embrace and just kept crying. he started playing with my hair to try to get me to calm down.
i finally fell asleep.
