love triangle

when the triangle began

I slightly open my eyes in an attempt to see who is there. As soon as I do so, I feel a negative presence and immediately close my eyes again. I briefly saw a tall brown curly-haired boy standing in the doorway. The mystery boy had a deep croaky voice, almost like a frog. Their whispers under their breath are so faint, I'm not able to figure out what they're saying. Suddenly, the volume of the room rises as Draco starts to yell.

"Yeah, it's her fault. Bad luck for Blaise because I'll be winning the bet" Draco says bursting out with laughter. I roll over to face the other direction when suddenly the room falls silent. Now all eyes turn to me.

"I should probably go now, it's 2:00 am" the mystery boy whispers under his breath as he scurries towards the door. As soon as the door closes, I hear footsteps coming towards my bed. A few moments later, I felt a cold hand touch my shoulder and roll me over. Shivers run down my spine as I felt his touch.

"Are you awake, love?" Draco asks cupping my cheek with his cold hand. When I don't respond, he kisses me on the forehead. "Sweet dreams pretty" Draco whispers tip-toeing back to his bed. I couldn't sleep because all I was thinking about was how Draco only 'liked' me because of some bet. When I woke up, I got right into the shower, so I was able to talk to Hermione before class started. When I got out of the shower, I met my eyes with Draco. It was the longest few seconds of my life. Staring into his grey eyes and knowing all he was doing but lying to me.

"Morning beautiful," Draco says in his croaky morning voice. I scoff at him and start getting ready. I grab my books and head for the door, but I'm stopped by Draco's arms wrap around me. I squirm my way out of his grip and run to the door. I slam the door behind me, but I soon hear it open again. I start running down the hallway with tears rolling down my cheek. Draco runs after me yelling my name.

"EVIE! EVIE! WHAT'S WRONG?!" Draco screams getting kind of puffed out. "EVIE WAIT UP!" Draco continues but I don't stop until I trip over a tripwire.

"Oh, sorry Evie. That was for Umbridge" Fred and George Weasley sat together. I just look up at them and then look at Draco who was fast approaching. The twins see Draco and scurry off down the hallway.

"What's wrong darling?" Draco says panting for air. I look at him, pick up my books and start walking down the hallway. Until I felt a cold hand spin me around.

"Evie, what is going on with you," Draco says staring straight into my eyes. A tear rolls down my face, Draco notices and wipes it away. I push his hand away from me.

"It's over," I say staring at the ground.

"What?!" Draco says raising his voice a little.

"You really think I didn't hear your little conversation last night with that boy," I say getting a little bit defensive.

"What are you talking about?" Draco says getting bright red.

"Look, I'm a girl, I'm NOT a bet. I'm sick of jerks like you treating women like a game" I say turning and running off. I run straight to the bathrooms and burst out crying. I'm crying into my hands and staring into the mirror and question everything. I hear a knock at the door, and I whip my head around. I see the mystery boy again.
