TOM POV:
Me and Alex haven't talked since that night. Was it something I did wrong? I was walking back to the chamber from Potions, when I saw a note on my door that read
"Meet me in the Great Hall in seat 4D at dinner. -A"
Alex's handwriting matched the note. I crumbled it into my pocket as I ran back to my room to complete my homework. I couldn't concentrate. Does Alex want to apologize for something? Is he mad at me? Does he have a question? I was genuinely curious. To calm down, I created an extra tab on my computer and typed in the words "Songs that make you feel powerful". I truly felt like a badass, and completed my homework in a flash. I mean, imagining yourself in edits always has an impact on you!
"Ah, we meet again." I don't even have to turn around to recognize the voice of Draco.
"What do you want," I say, "I thought you were still pissed at me and Alex?"
"Well, yes I am. But I want to ask you a qu-" Draco says, later being cut off.
"You get nothing. Just go away, please." I cut off Draco.
"Fine." Draco replies as he slouches and exits the room. I hear a sudden stop in his footsteps, and I quickly remember that I forgot to meet Alex! I run to the front of the chamber, with sweat rolling down my cheeks. I noticed Draco has exited, but a new figure has stayed.
"It's a repeating matter, at this point really." The figure says, slowly creeping towards me. "I expected this to be your cause of forgetting to see me, quite honestly. It's always Draco though, right?"
"Who are you, and what are you saying?" I reply
"Guess!" It was Alex.
"What are you saying about Draco? I despise him and you know that." I reply
"Are you quite sure? You were hanging out with him just a minute ago." Alex says, pointing behind him.
"He just stopped in for a second, but I pushed him out." I remark. My jaw clenches. If i'm being honest, I am quite nervous, if i'm being honest.
"Are you quite sure about that? This diary says otherwise." Alex says, pulling out my diary.
"Oh my goodness, thank you so much for finding that." I say reaching for the book, but I stop in my path.
"Um, not yet!" Alex says, pulling back the book. I step back away as Alex turns the pages to find some specific pages that I didn't write. "I miss DRACO!? What is this?" Alex yells, as I notice his sarcastic smile slowly form into a disappointed frown.
"No, that's not me. Where are you-" I get cut off by Alex.
"Well, is this you then?" Alex begins to make a sarcastic toddler voice. "I want to relive that night with Draco!"
"Alex, you know that's not me. I wouldn-"
"Oh, but you would. Hanging out with Draco, now notes about him? We ca-" I can hear Alex's voice breaking. "C-cant be, whatever we have." Alex shoves the book into my chest, and we stand in silence. The "Songs that make you feel powerful" playlist was over, so I had other songs on. I kinda forgot to turn off my speaker, so we just stand in silence as "Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy" plays in the back. Alex leaves, and I just stand in shock.
"Well, wasn't that exciting!" Draco says, dancing to the song, after Alex leaves. "Alex really did believe my notes I wrote as you!"
"Draco-" I say, checking back for Alex. Draco says nothing, but winks at the ending beat of the song. Kinda badass ngl, but I was still filled with rage.
