chapter fourteen

omg, i just realized it's been a month! sorry guys, had a bit of a writers block and lots of school work. hope you like this one <3

It happened. He actually wanted to give me extra work and we were going to spend a lot of time together, alone. I tried to walk calmly to the library to spend some time there before my first class, even if I just wanted to run and jump and dance. 

Chill, this doesn't mean he likes you or anything. He would've probably done the same if anyone would have asked him. But he had been staring at me the first week we met each other, in his office... Still, that had been a month ago. 

The Nina woman popped in my head. She obviously liked him, and they both knew each other from before. Maybe they used to date? I mean, she was beautiful, and looked so regal. Stop Eve, you're not going to be jealous of her, right? i mean, she is his age, beautiful, not a student, knows Alex for a very long time, a Slytherin like him, probably in her early 20s, but that doesn't make her have more options with him, right?

Okay, I really need to distract myself from all of this. And thankfully, it looks like my transfiguration homework was going to help with that.

Thursday

picture this: me, wrapped in a towel, sitting on my bed, having an existential crisis about what to wear

Ok, so am i panicking right now? definitely, and i have the best reasons to do so. Today was the first session I was going to have with Alex, and the nerves were pretty much eating me alive

how would it go? what should i wear? should i tell the twins?

actually, Fred and George had been pestering me about who i had a crush on, because apparently it was obvious i liked someone, which would sound pretty ridiculous if it weren't for the fact that i do like someone.

Someone who won't like me back.

Ok Eve, stop being so negative. Everything's going to be just fine, if you trust in karma and life or whatever you want to believe in. Come on, take deep breaths, that's it, we don't need a fashion crisis now on top of everything.

At that moment Lavender came in my room, looked at my meditative position and the clothes thrown on the floor, and left again. I huffed and went back to choosing my outfit. If she was going to interrupt me, she could at least give me some feedback. Not that Lavender had the best fashion taste, but still.

I had already seen Alex twice, in our classes, and I had tried to not stare at him when he talked, instead I focused on my notes, or on the wall behind him. Really smooth there Eve.

I finally chose some flared jeans with a white crop top and a thin grey sweater and put on some light makeup. October had started, and it was slightly chilly around here, so I put on some boots and prayed I wouldn't catch a cold.

I grabbed my wand (even though I still practised wandless magic, just because I was already used to it) and ran down the stairs. I made my way to the library and arrived precisely at 18.00. I went inside, wondering if Alex had arrived yet, and looked around.
