chapter 13

Katherine POV

I was laid in the infirmary bed, staring at the ceiling. I had to stay the night in this bed- which I thought was so stupid. It was put on me that it was for "precaution" I mentally scoffed when I heard that, precaution my ass. I could walk.. I mean I could limp, but we all start somewhere don't we?

It was raining, the sound of rain always seemed to calm me. The droplets of water pouring from the sky to the floor. I always looked at it as if it were a race, what small drop of water would hit the cold ground first?

The fact that I'm thinking and describing about rain shows that I'm just that bored.

Lorenzo left a while ago, he didn't say bye- I don't blame him for it. Although he could have just thrown a quick "bye Katherine" he didn't.

Maybe he was overthinking about this just the same way I am.

Nobody knew I was here.

Not that anyone would care.

But I'll blame that on myself since I've slowly been pushing everyone away.

The more I think about it, the whole thing sounds quite dramatic. All this over a kiss? Come on now. My new goal is to get over it. I'm acting like we broke up. Maybe our friendship did, yes. But we were nothing more. Just friends. You know what as soon as I'm out of here I'm going to talk to him intentionally.

Lorenzos POV

(Should I do Enzos POV more often I feel like I don't do it enough 😅😅)

I didn't need stitches for my newly done injury so I was able to leave.

I rushed out as soon as I got the approval to leave.

I would have said bye to Katherine but the awkwardness awaiting was enough to keep me away.

Although I didn't say a word to her when I left I did ask Mrs. Pomfrey how she was doing. She says she needs to stay the night.

Imagining the look on Katherines face when she hears the news makes me smile. I just know she's going to be quite the angry patient.

Getting back to the common room, preparing for the questions wasn't the most exciting thing to do.

Our group hasn't been the same since Katherine left. The fact that there's been change in only a few days says a lot.

Onyx is pretty mad at me. Lucille is too nice to say what she thinks of me. Draco and Blaise are the same. I take that back Draco hasn't been the same, it's almost as if he's happier?

Walking into the common room there was only a few people. Only the people who decide to study late. And with the few people there, all I saw was their eyes on me.

I've been gossiped about more frequently after Katherine left. How I've gone back to my old self.
Sleeping around. New girls in my dorm every day.

One kiss changed it all.

What a mistake.

I never have thought I would be thinking of a girl like this. Who knew Lorenzo Berkshire would be practically rejected? Not I.

This is my way of getting over it. It's probably not the best but I WILL do as I please and if this is what it takes, I'm doing it.

The Next Day ;)

Katherines POV:

Here I am in the uncomfortable infirmary bed staring awkwardly at the ceiling. It's so quiet. Not that I mind because I love a good moment of silence, but not when I know I can leave.

You could say I woke up in a bad mood but I just refuse to admit it.

But I know I can't wait till Mrs. Pomfrey checks on me and let's me leave.

Speaking of her, I think I can hear her footsteps.

"Well good morning Katherine, up so early?" She says with a soft smile.

When she smiles like that I can't bring myself to have an ounce of hatred for her. Yes, she may be called strict by other students but only what's necessary I like to think.

"Yes, and um do you think I can head out now? I have homework.. and uhm. Stuff to do?" Although I tried my best to think of excuses but I don't think "I need to talk to my ex best friend who kissed me to get over it and become friends with him again so everything can go back to normal" I just don't think that's a very good reason especially for me to tell her.

"Ah yes, your stuff is by the chair next to you, you're free to leave" she said calmly.

"Okay, thank you" I smiled at her and grabbed my stuff and left.

All that's left to do is talk to Lorenzo.
