ataraxia, lorenzo berkshire

"seventeen"

"oh, shit! of course you like watermelon! you were eating it at breakfast this morning." onyx scolded herself for her lack of observance, as i was quite literally wolfing down slice after slice of watermelon at breakfast.

i let out a nervous chuckle, before glancing over at lorenzo, who looked highly satisfied with what he'd just witnessed.

he probably finds it funny that i freaked out.

of course he does.

because someone like him wouldn't hesitate to tell their entire friendship group that he made out with the girl who'd done nothing but despise him and treat him like a child since fourth year.

me and lorenzo berkshire have completely different ideas when it comes to amusement.

"hey, me and magnora are going to head out." theo began to sit up, magnora following suit. they sent each-other a knowing look before slipping away from the entrance of the dorm and padding down the corridor, most likely back to magnora and saskia's dormitory.

"they're definitely going to fuck." draco muttered, huffing out of expectancy.

it was now me, onyx, lorenzo, saskia, blaise, mattheo, and draco in the circle, and the game had to recommence, otherwise the playful atmosphere that was slowly built up once we'd all had a few drinks would crumble down in mere seconds, and everyone would end up sitting and smoking in silence.

zero out of ten experience, do not recommend.

"okay, back to the game," onyx began, whilst adjusting her earring, "except, me and blaise have decided to change the rules slightly." she looked rather proud after this statement, sending me a cheeky wink before beginning to explain what the new adaptions were to the drinking game.

"instead of drinking a shot when you're wrong, you have to kiss someone of the person's choice." onyx explained plainly, an innocent smile adorning her face as mattheo let out a scoff.

"i should've seen this coming." mattheo mumbled, grinning out of the sudden change of events that everyone was internally expecting, all of us knowing this would make the entire evening more interesting.

"okay, nobody got my questions right, so i suppose i get to choose who goes next?" i ask, tilting my head as i waited for onyx's answer, for she was the dictator of the game.

she nodded at me assuringly, and i began to make my decision.

"mattheo, you go." i smiled warmly at him, and he rolled his eyes at me, before sitting up from his slouched position with a half-full shot glass in his hand, his ebony hair falling in messy curls across his forehead.

"fine," he agreed, letting out a low chuckle as he began to think of what he was going to confess to the group, who sat anxiously awaiting for the challenge, knowing it will be somewhat tricky under mattheo's reign.

"you done?" saskia asked, raising an eyebrow impatiently at mattheo, who was on the verge of making his final decisions.

"fuck off." mattheo muttered, "yes, i am."

the anticipation was killing me.

"i slept with hermione granger, i fucked over five people in a single night, and my favourite alcohol is firewhiskey."

lorenzo's head tilted to the side as he'd heard, his face now puzzled with confusion.

"hermione fucking granger? you're fucking with me." he announced, "she's like a female version of you! why would you ever date a female version of you." his brows collided, something didn't add up.
