the sink hole of loving you //mattheo riddle

Chapter 2

" you made it!"  Oliver says as I walk into the Gryffindor common room. The teachers discourage us from going into other houses, dormitories and common rooms, and they assume that we listen. Their assumption is wrong. Somebody turns up the music and everyone begins dancing. I dance with Oliver for a while and then go  get a drink while he dances with Katie Bell. "Hey!" Harry says, coming up to me. I cringe. While he is a good seeker, he is extremely  cocky and self centered. When he speaks to you he acts like you are so lucky that "the chosen one" is speaking to you. Obviously, he isn't my favorite person at this school. "Hi Harry," I say , turning away from the drink table to face him. "So what'd you think about the game today?" he asks. Translation: what'd you think about how I caught the snitch and won the game today? I resist the urge to roll my eyes. "It was great! Everyone played really well!" I say, smiling a little too wide. "Yes, for sure. For a second I wasn't sure I was going to be able to keep my balance and be able to catch the snitch but........'' I tune Harry out, look across the room and see Mattheo on the other side of the room. What is he doing here? And what is he wearing?  I've never seen him wear that before!! And why does he look that good!! He's not even supposed to be here!! Who is he even dressing up for? I get my answer to that question very quickly, when he leans forward to tuck a piece of hair behind a blonde girl's ear. He whispers something in the girl's ear, and she laughs. I feel a pang of jealousy. ".......and then malfoy was on my tail, and-" "harry" i say interrupting him. "Who is that girl that mattheo is talking to?" "Uh, her name is colbie. She's in Gryffindor '''' Is she dating anyone?" I ask , still looking at Mattheo and the blonde girl, colbie." "No. I don't think so... why?" he asks, looking at me weirdly. "Oh uh, I turn my attention to harry. "No reason." I glance back at mattheo. "Okay , well I'm gonna go but uh it was  fun talking to you and stuff" Harry says awkwardly walking backwards. "Yeah" I answer, distractedly watching mattheo. "Okay......" he says, disappearing into the crowd of people. I turn back to Harry but he is gone. I guess he must've said bye while I was watching mattheo. I look over at where Mattheo is, but he isn't there anymore. I walk over to where he was, but he disappeared. "Hey!" Oliver says. "Hey! I think I'm gonna head out, ''I answer. ''Okay. Thanks for coming!" He walks me to the door. "Of course! It was fun!! And nice job on the game today, really, it was great" he smiles. "Thanks" he leans down to give me a hug, and then opens the door for me. I smile at him over my shoulder as I am walking out, and head for Matteo's dorm. Should I mention that I saw him at the party? Should I ask about the girl? Why wouldn't he tell me that he was coming to the party? And why am I feeling so protective and jealous? I mean I know how I feel about him, but I thought that I had sorta moved on from that?  My head is starting to hurt. Should I knock? I wonder when I get to his dorm. Why am I making this so complicated?  Geez he's your best friend this shouldn't be weird. How very wrong I was. I walk in to see many things. One of which is the blonde girl, Colbie, on top of Mattheo. He is running his hands all over her, and kissing her desperately. I open the door a little wider, unsure of what to do. The door creaks, and they break apart to look at me. Matteo's eyes widen. "Claire," he says out of breath. "What are you doing here?" he asks, running a hand through his hair. "uh we were gonna watch a movie...?" I say. "Oh shoot, yeah. sorry i totally forgot...." ouch. "No worries , it's okay. we can just.....do it another time" i force a smile. "thanks. you're the best" he answers smiling. I feel tears prick my eyes. "yeah, so i'll just see you tomorrow then" i force a wider smile and look back at him one more time, before i make myself close the door. I hear Colbie giggle from inside Matteo's dorm. I sigh, and then put a smile back on my face. I take a shaky breath and make my way back to my dorm. "claire!" I turn to see Fred running to catch up with me. "i have a new prank idea and i just thought i should probably consult with you before i go through with it because sometimes my judgment is a little wonky and-" "i would really love to hear about your prank idea but i'm kinda tired right now, and really just want to go to bed, so could we maybe talk about this tomorrow?" I ask, smiling yet another forced smile.
"oh. uh yeah of course."
"Thank you. sorry"
"No, it's okay. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"yup. see you tomorrow" i turn on my heel and begin walking again. I take a deep breath and tell myself I'm almost there. Once I reach my dorm I shut the door and lock it, then slide down the back of the door. Only then, do I let the tears finally fall.
