Enemies. That's the first word that comes to mind when you think of Mattheo Riddle and Taylor Ashers, if they even let you think of them both in the same thought, that is. But when forced to fake date, tensions run high and hormones take over.
Will...
Pansy soon came back with a bag of makeup in her hands. I could tell she was stressed about something, but I didn't bring it up in case it made it worse.
"Thanks for doing this, Pansy. You really didn't have to." She smiled and sighed.
"Yeah, I'm pretty great." This made us both crack up as we were sitting on the floor of the empty classroom.
A little while later, she was done. She put her brushes back into her makeup bag and smiled contently at her masterpiece.
"Want me to help you pick out a dress for the party?" I asked her, getting onto my feet with her.
"Oh, shit. I didn't realize I forgot to pick out a dress! The party's in ten minutes." She groaned.
"Don't stress, I'll help you." We walked out of the classroom and to our common room.
"Basilisk," Pansy said, granting us access. We strolled down the steps and into the room where the Slytherins were buzzing about the party. I found myself looking around to see where Mattheo was, and I found him sitting on the ground in front of the fireplace. He had his elbows on his knees and he was just staring into the flames, almost lifelessly. I stopped and stared at him, it took all my willpower not to run to him and kiss him right then and there.
Pansy tugged my arm, causing me to stumble and follow her down another flight of stairs to where the dorms were. We passed three doors on the way to the dorm we shared. We turned the knob to find another girl in our year, Gianna Ryans, taking pictures of Clemence, who was wearing what I would assume to be her party dress. I walked with Pansy over to her small closet, and she started talking about the different dresses she had. But I wasn't paying attention, instead, I found myself listening in on the conversation being held between Gianna and Clemence.
"-When he kissed me, it felt like butterflies going through my stomach! He told me I was the most beautiful girl he'd ever known, he even said I was a way better kisser than his girlfriend!" Clemence swooned, while Gianna was giggling and posting something on her phone.

taylor_ashers: wtf, that's not even green, get your colors right.
nia_ashers: bahaha, exactly. That dress is not it <3
Dray_Malfoy: It's also an ugly dress to begin with, so.
I turned my phone off and scowled at the girl.
"Which dress do you think I should wear?" Pansy asked me, chewing her fingernail. Of course, she knew where my attention had been, and I was grateful she pulled me from my thoughts. I looked long and hard at her dresses. I picked one of the green ones and laid it on her bed. She retreated into the bathroom to put it on.
