the sink hole of loving you //mattheo riddle

Chapter 5

Mattheo goes back to his dorm to change and grab some snacks, while I get the movie ready at my dorm. 15 minutes later I hear a knock at my door, and then Mattheo walks in without getting an answer. "What if I had been naked?" I ask him as he sets the candy and snacks he brought onto my bed. "I wouldn't be complaining," he says, smirking. I blush. "Gross'' I walk over to the TV and pretend to do something while my cheeks cool down. Mattheo plops down on my bed and makes himself comfortable. I grab the remote and sit down next to him. I snatch the bowl of popcorn, so I can get the most buttery part (the top). Mattheo laughs and starts the movie. 13 going on 30. I have seen this movie 20 billion times, and I make mattheo watch it with me most times, so he has seen it a ton as well. He thinks its dumb, and that the girl is beyond stupid and immature when she first becomes 30, which is true, i'll give him that, but that is prett much the only bad thing he can come up wth about this movie. We end up arguing about the movie every time, but I always win. This is my favorite movie because of the childhood friends to lovers romance story. I relate to the part when Jenna is hurting because her best friend who she is in love with, Matt, is with someone else. It sucks, and it hurts, but my favorite part is the ending. How even through everything they end up together, and all is well. It sorta gives me hope for Mattheo and I, but I've never told him this. My argument is that I ask him the same question every time. How mature were you at 13? He shuts up after that. My eyelids start to droop as the movie ends. I hear Mattheo moving around. "You can stay here tonight." I say without opening my eyes. "Are you sure?" he asks. I nod. "Just don't bug me '' I answer through a yawn. He laughs. "I would never" and turns off the lights, then lays back down on top of the covers. I wake up to the sun streaming through my window right on my face. I was so tired last night that I forgot to close my shutters. "Why is it so sunny?" Mattheo groans, putting a pillow over his face. I laugh. I get up and open the shutters even more. "You suck" his voice is muffled from the pillow. "We have class," I say walking into my bathroom. I brush my teeth, put on my uniform, and pull my hair back into a low ponytail with a ribbon. I put on some mascara and blush, and decide to call it a day. When I come out of the bathroom, Mattheo is ready in his uniform sitting on my bed. "Ready?" he asks, standing up. "yep '' I grab my books and we make our way down to the great hall. "Well I'll see you in herbology, '' he says once we got there. "bye'' I walk to the gryffindor table and he walks over to the slytherin table. Mattheo sits with his slytherin friends most of the time, but occasionally he sits with us. Our table includes Oliver Wood, Fred and George Weasley, Cho Chang, and Dean thomas. Cho and I have a slightly strained relationship, even though she's the only one in our friend group who is on ravenclaw with me. Muggles have a perfect word for our friendship;Frenemies. Basically, we are friends, but I'm pretty sure we both trash each other behind the other person's back, but we are in the same house, so we stick together. We became friends at the beginning of the first year. We were both sorted into ravenclaw, and we've kinda just stuck all these years. I didn't become friends with Fred and George until our 3rd year. They were playing a prank on Mattheo, and I helped get him out of his dorm and into the right spot. I don't think mattheo has ever been so annoyed with me. I'd had classes with Fred and George in the past, but we hadn't ever really spoken to each other, so after we had pulled a successful prank together, we became better friends. Oliver and I became friends from our mutual love of quidditch. I asked him to teach me how to play, but we very quickly found out that it was much safer for me to just watch the games from the stands. He joined our little friend group, and brought Dean Thomas with him. Dean doesn't hang with us as much. He's got a thing for ginny weasley, so he's with that group sucking up a lot. Doesn't seem fun or worth it, but he's only got eyes for her so we all support him. "Hey guys!'' I sit down next to fred. "Claire,'' Fred says urgently. "Fred" "about that prank idea" "oh yeah. Hit me with it. What's the idea?" Fred turns so he is facing me completely. "So basically we get professor Flitwick out of the classroom, with a distraction. I'm not sure what the distraction would be yet, but it could be like harmless fireworks in the hall or something like that. Then when he is in the hall George will use our weasley sticks putty and lock him out of the classroom. It should take him a good 2 hours to get through the door, unless he breaks it, and then we won't have to do any work for 2 hours.'' I nod. "So what'd you think?" he asks. "Yeah, I think it's a pretty flawless plan. His classroom doesn't have any windows so he wouldn't be able to go through those to get back in, so yeah. I approve ''Fred smiles excitedly. "Sweet!! Okay well I'm gonna go and get everything ready. See ya later!" He salutes and then he and George leave the table. I laugh, shaking my head. "Claire" I turn to see Sophie looking pissed behind me. "Hi" I say , turning around so I'm facing her. "I need to talk to you" she turns and starts walking out of the great hall. I grab my stuff, say my goodbyes to everyone at the table, and run to catch up with her. "What's wrong?" I ask once I've caught up to her. "I broke up with draco" "what?!" "shhh" she says. "Why did you break up with him?" I whisper. "I kissed someone else" I look at her with wide eyes. We reach my dorm and go inside. I put my books down and take off my shoes, then look at sophie. "What?" she asks. "Um, would you like to elaborate on the statement that I kissed someone else. Like maybe uh..WHO WAS IT?" "So Draco and I have been on the outs for a little while-" "What do you mean on the outs?" "we never talked. Never had a good conversation. All we did was make out, and that was great and fun in the beginning, but I want more. I want someone to lay with me without having to have his hands all over me, and I want someone who understands me. All Draco and I did was fight and then make up, make out, and then start the cycle all over again. It was exhausting." "So did you kiss the other person while you guys were dating or......." she looks at me with a guilty look on her face. "Just tell me how it happened. And who it was. That's a good thing to start with." "it was blaise zabini." She closes her eyes tightly. "Draco's best friend?" I ask cautiously. She nods with her eyes still shut. I nod. "Nice" I say taking in the information. "So what happened?" "well draco has been super busy lately, doing who knows what, so i didn't see him that often. I mean he would come over every night, but he'd stopped staying the night because we would be making out and whatever, and then we would get into a fight, surprise surprise," she says sarcastically, " and then he would storm out of the room, give me the cold shoulder for like 3 days, and then we would make up, make out, fight again, you know, the cycle kept on going. Anyways, while Draco was busy with what he was doing, or giving me the cold shoulder I would hang out with blaise. Draco and I used to do our homework together, but we just stopped all of a sudden, so me and Blaise would study and do our homework together. Then one night I kinda broke down about Draco, and how I was so sick of everything, and he comforted me. Then he told me I deserve way better than Draco, then I kissed him. Then we kissed more and more and more. And uh draco came by my dorm the next morning, and so uh blaise had to hide in the closet while draco sat there waiting for me to apologize for our latest fight that was his fault, but i broke up with him instead." "So you really like him?" I ask her. "Blaise? Yeah ''''and you're happy?" she smiles "yeah ''''then i support you. But I still think you're crazy" she laughs. "So now are you with blaise or......." "I don't know," she sighs. "It's kinda complicated considering he's Draco's best friend, but he said he wants to be with me, and that he's aware that this will probably ruin his relationship with Draco, and he's okay with that. Draco isn't his favorite person right now either, so I don't know. Is it selfish to break up their friendship so we can be together?" "yes, but also no. I don't think that Draco is that great of a friend so I don't think that Blaise is going to be missing out on anything. In other words, does Blaise actually like Draco?" she laughs. "I don't think so. I mean he's never hinted that he values their friendship at all ''''then I don't think it's selfish at all. Go for it. He makes you happy, and it sounds like you make him happy too." she blushes. "Okay" "now tell me all about Blaise and that kiss, that was more than just one kiss" she laughs. "Okay okay, how much do you want to know" "um all of it!! Duh." she laughs again. "Geez okay" then she's laughing again. Then I start laughing. Then we're both laughing until we're crying for no apparent reason, but it feels good.
