Maybe we should get facts straight before we assume.

After I left Dracos room I went back to my own, and paced the entire room until I forced myself to get dressed. I ran to class, since by the time I finished getting ready I was going to be late.

I tried to avoid Draco as best as I could for the rest of the day. When it came time to go to potions class I planned to ask professor Snape if we really have to go through with this whole studying thing. But Draco was making it harder to ignore him. He was constantly staring at me.

I know that might not be a big deal to a lot of people, but I have had a massive crush on Draco for years. And just knowing his eyes are burning holes in the back or side of your head is not very comforting or settling. I went through the entire class, feeling eyes on me the entire time. As soon as Professor Snape dismissed us I grabbed my stuff and made my way to his desk.

"Excuse me, Professor." I said meekly, clutching my bag and fidgeting my fingers. He looked up from his papers, unimpressed. "Yes, Ms. Bentley."

"I was wondering-"

"When are we supposed to start these studying sessions?" I whip my head around to see Draco, who was only a mere ten feet behind me, in his Slytherin robes that were unbuttoned. I didn't even know he was still in here. "You two havent studied yet?" Snape asks with disbelief.

I stood frozen, not believing that Draco is even here and speaking about this. I thought for sure that he wouldn't want to go through with this. I turn my head slowly to look at him, watching as he shakes his head no to Snape's question.

"Everyday. At least an hour." Snape says, standing up and exiting the classroom.

As soon as he leaves I turn around and make my way to leave, absolutely fuming. I don't want to do this. I just wish I could get over Draco and move on with my life. "Cora wait."

My body betrays me, as soon as I hear his perfect deep voice, my legs stop moving. "Why are you so upset?"

I couldn't believe him. I could not believe his thought process. "Why am I so upset?" I scoff.

I turn fully around now, facing the boy thats made my life a living hell for the past two years. "You don't make sense, Draco! One minute when we're alone, you're completely your old self, but the second that another person is around, you act like a complete- asshole!" I shout at him, slowly inching closely in the process. As I continue to yell, I notice my hands are moving, but my eyes are clouded my anger, I can't see anything other and red.

"I don't get you! I didn't do anything wrong to make you hate me, or make you so disgusted by that fact that you were friends with me! You make me feel like I am a bad person, or that something's wrong with me!" I watch as I get closer and closer, Draco's face noticeably falling.

My eyes start welling up with tears, as a lump forms in my throat at my next words. "And the worst part, Draco, is that as soon as I realized my feelings for you, you just- ditched me!"

His eyes are watering. "W- what feelings, Cora?"

I wipe my eyes, careful not to wipe my makeup off since I have a class soon. "Never mind, Malfoy. Just don't talk to me unless we're studying. Got it?"
