GIGI POV

"That is all for today pack up your things and get going to next class" Snape plainly stated

I packed my books back on the shelves and went to leave the classroom
"What class have you got next?" I called out to Nova and Milan

"I have to go meet the study group in the library" Nova scrunched here face suggesting she didn't want to go

"And I have Astronomy, aren't you in my class?" Milan answered

"I've got a free period I already completed the topic and handed it in" I shrugged my shoulders

"Of corse you did" Milan rolled her eyes playfully

"I've always been at the top of my classes and I'm not going to stop now" I laughed at her

I looked towards the classroom door and saw Nott standing there looking and waiting for me. This is so not what I need today but the sooner it's done the better.

"Okay so I'll meet yous in the hall for break?" I said to both Milan and Nova as we all parted

"See you then" Milan blew a kiss and she walked in the opposite direction

"Yeah okay" Nova waved goodbye

I took a deep breath and made my way over to Nott.

"Ok so what do you want to say?" I blurted

"Is there somewhere more private we can go?" He asked looking around

"I have a free period so anywhere is fine with me but you need to get to class" I sassily said "also don't forget you only have 5 minutes"

"I know I know. Can we go sit on the bench in the courtyard it will be empty. I'll miss my next class?" He desperately asked

"Yeah fine" I started speed walking to the direction of the courtyard when I was interrupted by two 1st years

"Oh my there she is!!!!" One of them shouted as they ran over to me

"Your Gigi Astra!!!"  The other one screamed in my face "your all over the front page" she held up the daily profit news paper she was holding to see the picture of my manor from the party last night with the pure blood boys that couldn't get in. 

In the corner a photo of me took through the window as I'm sipping champagne talking to Noah James.

"Oh for fuck sake" I breathed.

I was always on the front of that stupid paper mostly good but sometimes trying to get the scoop on me making me look bad.

"Trouble in paradise for Malfoy?" Nott read out loud the massive headline covering the top of the front page rolling he's eyes and looking away.

I grabbed the paper of the 1st year to read the article

'Miss Gigi Astra's parents hosted a dinner party for the Pureblood community last night at the Astra Manor for miss Gigi to potentially find a suitor to have an understanding with by the end of her school years.

While it has always been clear to the public that Gigi and Malfoy was most likely going to come together, it seems like the young Astra has given Malfoy the boot.

There was no sign of Young Theodore Nott who was rumoured to have romantic connections with our Princess before he moved away. Gigi was seen getting cosy with Pureblood Noah James. I wonder what Mr & Mrs Malfoy have to say about this.

After all this time it looks like there isn't going to be a Malfoy/Astra heir. See page 4 for more Gigi Astra outfits and scandals.'

I threw the paper back to the 1st year I didn't want to read anymore. I was so done with this stupid paper and Rita.

"So is it true? You and Malfoy have broken up?" The 1st year said

"We wasn't together" I growled as I continued to walk away with Nott following behind me.

I stormed to the courtyard and sat down on the bench next to the tree. The sun was shining and the birds was whistling it was beautiful out here but that couldn't rid my anger from reading that article.

Nott came walking from behind me and sat next to me on the bench. He looked nervous. He took a few moments breathing in and out trying to get he's words out.

"You have 5 minutes" I stated to him looking at my nails trying to control my inpatient personality.

We sat in silence for a long moment. The only sounds was the tree's rattling and the birds whistling.

"I'm sorry" he whispered

"It's fine just get on with it" I sighed

"No I meant I am sorry" he looked right into my soul "I'm sorry for everything Gigi"

I was confused. I was expecting him to beg for another chance. I expected him to be arrogant.

"Theo you don't have t-"

"No you have to know. I'm sorry for kissing you without warning but I'm not sorry it happened. I'm sorry for moving away and not coming back for you to make it work. I'm sorry for sleeping around and not proving I could be what you want." He blurted "I'm sorry for not trying hard enough for you"

I was unable to answer him I felt like I was frozen still

"And most of all I'm sorry for not fighting hard enough for you years ago when everyone said you would end up with Malfoy. Because the moment I met you I was hooked but I thought I would never have a chance with you so I turned to partying, drugs, alcohol and fucking random girls" he cried "I see now that I was wrong I should have fought for you from the start"

He put he's hand on top of mine that was rested on my knee.

This was a sincere apology. I have never seen him like this he really did mean everything he was saying.

"I wish you would have, it would of made everything so much easier" I whispered

"I know what you think of me, but if you gave me a chance I wouldn't mess it up this time. I'm done"  he claimed

The only problem I had with giving Theo a chance was that I would look like an idiot if he fucked me over. I have never been rejected and for the whole School knowing that would be embarrassing. It would make it out of school and be plastered all over the press. That is something I was not willing to happen.

"Theo you can have some time to prove yourself" I stated. He shot he's head up getting a little too excited. "This doesn't mean I'm giving you a chance or your going to get one it just means if you act the right way, within time I could think about it" I stated

"I promise I'll do everything right" he eagerly spat.

"You keep this to yourself you don't tell anyone what your doing, it's to be kept quiet and between us. You do not tell anyone. Not Blaise, not Luca, not.."

"Draco" he sighed rubbing the back of he's neck. Awkward.

"Not anyone" I replied "your 5 minutes is up" I left him sat there as I returned inside.
