All The Lies You Tell - MATTHEO RIDDLE

Chapter 14

Authors note:

Hi everyone. If you were one of the original 610 readers then you may remember this story. It was written in 2021! Like wow that feels like forever ago. But you probably won't remember this because it has been written so long ago and was only 13 chapters at the time. But basically I lost interest in continuing this story and writing all together and before I knew it 2 years had passed. I do remember that there was 1 or 2 people pretty invested in this book and I cannot apologize enough for ending it. I turned into my least favorite type of author! @toriiv03 left me the nicest comments and they always made me feel so nice, so thank you very much. And sorry if I just called you out right there like damn I really tagged you and everything. Please let me know if I need to remove it lol. Anyway back to what I was saying, if you have read this before then I highly suggest re-reading any previous chapters because even I could barely remember what I had written. I have no idea if I will continue updating or if this was a spur of the moment thing. What happened was... I just watched the new Avatar 2 movie and I was thirsting over Neteyam as any normal person would and I was dying for some fanfics about him but the movie has only been out for so long so obviously there's been no time to actually write a good one. Then I thought, maybe I should write one. And then I remembered this story and was like there's no sense in starting a new one let me just finish this one. So I wrote this chapter and I really enjoyed it. I am very very busy all of the time with my classes so who knows if I will even have time. But if I'm feeling up for it and have a free moment I will keep updating this story! I'd like to say my writing has improved and the first half of this chapter was written in 2021 and the second half I wrote just now so let me know if you can see a difference! Again I apologize for ending it in the first place... If this is your first time reading this then this entire paragraph was kind of irrelevant. Anyways let me be quiet.

I woke to a light blaring in my eye and a hundred voices in my ear. I tried to blink away the disturbance, but it never wavered. Opening my eyes completely I looked around with blurred vision. Where am I?

I shot up and the world was spinning. I gripped the back of the couch I was apparently laying on to keep myself steady. The couch! That's when everything came back.

I fell asleep in the common room last night. The Dailey Prophet lay bent up on the floor next to me.

I let out a loud groan.

"Long night?", a familiar voice asked.

I looked to my right to see Loui standing in a Gryffindor uniform. His unexpected presence makes me jump, causing more dizziness. When my vision clears I see he's leaned up against the fireplace. An apple in his hand.

He chuckles. "Sorry Plum, didn't mean to scare ya".

"Plum?", I repeat.

"What? Don't like nicknames?", He says with an innocent expression.

I sort-of scowl. "Not from you".

He mock frowns. "That's a shame. I have a lot of things I could call you", He winks.

I cringe. He's a flirt. I couldn't tell before when his friends were around, but I see it now.

"What time is it?", I questioned ignoring want he said.

"Like ten o'clock?", He says unsurely.

I groan. I've already missed good hours of my Sunday.

"Hey Lindsey! Wait up!", Loui shouts to a passing girl, rushing to the other side of the room.
