Pick and Choose

Tension

"Well That makes sense, Draco has never been turned down." Blaise says.

"Ok but he doesn't need to be a absolute dick to me because of it." I snap.

"Just figure it out because my two best friends are arguing and it's making my life harder." He says. I rolls my eyes.

Draco storms back into the room and rolls his eyes at me.

"Ah I gotta head out and find Emily." Blaise says standing up. 

I get up and follow him out. "No, just stay here." Blaise says closing the door.

I sigh and turn around.

"Oh fuck off." Draco snaps.

"What's your problem?" I ask

He stands up and walks towards me.  "Your my problem obviously."

"Ok but you don't need to be rude I didn't even do anything to you." I roll my eyes

He laughs. "Did nothing, ya right."

He was standing over me, staring at me.

"I just- I Uh." I stuttered. I stepped back and took a breath.  He looked down at his feet. 

"If you want an apology your not gonna get one." He says.

"It's not like I was expecting one." I mumble. 

He laughs and walks towards his bed and sits down with his elbows into his legs, palm to his face. 

"I need to go." I say and I walk out of the room, speed walking down the halls.

After walking back I made it to the common room. I saw Cedric sitting in the couch with some other Alyssa, a fellow Hufflepuff.  I took a seat by Cedric and they slowly included me in the conversation. 

Within a couple minutes Louis came down from his dorm and joined us on the couch. Then Alyssa left, leaving us 3. 

"Mum said they will still be in America so looks like I'm with you guys again." Louis says.

"Are any of us surprised Loui?" Cedric laughs.

"I thought they would be home this year.  It's my 4th year in a row with you guys."  Louis sighs.

"Well at least you have us, if your parents came it would only be you 3.  Sounds boring to me." I smile trying to lighten the mood. 

"Yeah I guess." He sits back. 

"What about Bella? When is she gonna meet Mum and Dad?" I ask.

"She's going to Germany with her parents for break."  Cedric says getting a book from his bag to read. 

"What about you Cami? Are they gonna meet Blaise?" Louis asks.  The way he asked confused me. Like he sounded frustrated with me that I was friends with Blaise.

"Oh maybe another time. It's not like we're dating he's just a good friend." I say.

"Oh and Draco?" Louis asks. Now Cedrics eyes were on me as well. 

"Same as blaise, maybe another time." I snap back. 

Cedric looked back at his book and I think Louis rolled his eyes at me.  There was definitely a tension between me and Louis whenever Draco was mentioned. I could never figure it out but I clearly knew Louis did not like Draco.

~~~~~~

"It's not a big deal Ced." Isabella laughs.

"Bella yes it is, your parents said if you start failing classes we can't be together." Cedric says back.

"It was one bad test grade, I have a A in that class already.  It's really not going to affect me." She replies back to him. 

Cedric, Isabella, Louis, and I were all sitting in the Library off in a corner with two couches. They were studying for a test and even though we are in different grades they always include me.

"Fine But next test we're studying harder, I did better than you on that last one." Cedric says back to her.

She playfully rolled her eyes and snuggled next to him. His hand was placed on her thigh as she held a book over it. They were an adorable and couple and it makes me happy to see him happy.

I haven't talked to Draco on a couple of days. I often find myself looking for him in the great hall or during classes. Our fight didn't even make sense but neither of us are mature enough to apologize.

Louis seemed happier that I wasn't with Blaise and Draco as much considering I have been spending ire time with them but sometimes it's awkward. Cedric and Isabella are very happy and they clearly have a lot of feelings towards each other but sometimes they show it a little too much and me and Louis just have to sit and observe.

I laid my head down in Louis's legs and propped my feel up. I noticed he uncomfortably arranged his position but he didn't say anything for me to move so I didn't.

After all he was like my brother.

Right?

With a couple more hours of them three studying for a test I finished my Herbology and Potions notes. We all packed up and headed to dinner.

Cedric and Bella said their goodbyes with a quick peck and we went different ways. I sat with Lulu and Piper and a couple other girls.

"I heard Blaise and Emily are done for good." Lulu whispered to me. "Is it true?" She asked.

"I haven't talked to him all day." I say looking over at the Slytherin table. Blaise was sitting next to Draco. He didn't look happy nor sad. He looked bored and tired like he did not want to be there. I decided after dinner to find him in his dorm or common room.

After dinner ended I watched Blaise quickly get up and leave. I tried to follow but lost him in the crowd. I made my way towards their common room. After standing by the painting Draco walked up with Adrian, another Slytherin.

"Draco where's Blaise?" I ask.

Draco rolls his eyes and ignores me. "Awe do you want to be his next little hook up?" Adrian asks.

"Probably, shes known to kiss and leave." Draco laughs.

"You see Adrian, Draco is a little upset that for once in his life he got turned down because not everyone wants to be a quick fuck." I say to Adrian avoiding eye contact with Draco.

Adrian awkwardly laughs sensing the tension between us two. He says the password and we all walk in.

I head straight to their dorm, thank goodness Draco stayed in the common room.

I made it to their room and knocked on the door. I wasn't in the mood to wait so I opened it and looked inside. Blaise was sitting at his desk. His lamp was turned on and he was writing on a piece of Parchment.

"Blaise?" I ask quietly closing the door behind me.

"Hi Cami." He says. 

"I heard about Emily." I said.

"Ya. She moved on, found a Gryffindor she liked better. I've been so bloody mad. Probably fucking Potter." He seethed.

"That just shows she wasn't the one." I responded as I sat on his bed.

"It's just frustrating." He said. "I don't know if I'm just sexually frustrated or frustrated but I'm definitely mad." He said closing his book.

"Oh god Blaise." I rolled my eyes.

He let out a little laugh. "Oh right, virgin."

"Yeah, virgin." I sighed.
