If only...

Chapter 7- what confusion

POV of Cecilia Black

"I said I'm not interested." I said bluntly to Eva. It was breakfast time of Sunday and I could not get my clingy big sister away from me.
"You can't stay mad at me forever Cece." She said stirring her porridge half Heartedly.
"Don't call me that." I snapped. "Only my friends can call me that, and all you are is a pimple that won't go away." I said standing up with my bird on my shoulder not even paying attention to Theo who had just sat down looking confused. I had definitely upset her with my last comment. Good. She deserved to be upset. I strode up the stairs still in my mood when I bumped into someone.
"What the hell is your problem." I said as I fell to the ground. I looked up to see. Uh oh Draco malfoy. " oh right you have an endless list of those." I said grabbing my stuff off the ground and purposely bumped into his shoulder. For once in his miserable life Draco didn't say a word to me. He just looked sadly after me. Just like my sister he deserved to be miserable and I couldn't care less. It was a Sunday and I wanted the world to burn in hell. I marched up to my he astronomy tower to find some peace. As I slammed open I saw cho and Harry together talking.
"Oh sorry, I didn't mean to intrude, I'll go." I said turning bright red.
"Don't worry Cecilia, we are done anyways." Said Cho. I was surprised she knew my name, I had hardly ever talked to her in my life. "Hey why don't we chill for a bit together?" She asked. I was taken aback. We had talked once last year. And that was when I was consoling her about Cedric. Huh I guess she remembered me.
"Yeah sure why not." I said kinda smiling. It was the first smile since my sister found me the night before . Cho was in the same year as me,  but a Ravenclaw, and she was interested in talking to a Slytherin. It kinda made me feel happy. She said bye to Harry and I smiled slightly. He returned the small smile.

Cho showed me around the Ravenclaw common room with pride as I gazed out the towers window.
"We don't have a window in our common room." I said amazed at the view.
" it is pretty stunning." she admitted joining me at the window. We stood there for a moment in silence before I asked,
"Would you be interested in seeing my common room?" I knew I wouldn't run into anyone there as they would all be making out with someone somewhere in the school.
"Sure I would love that." She said smiling. I brought her down to the dungeons and to the secret passageway and opened my common room up. She gasped with pleasure as she looked around the room. " this place is amazing! The green!!! The sliver!!! It's beautiful!" She said walking around and sitting on one of the velvet couches. Yeah I thought I guess it was pretty.
"Oh! Look at the time! I need to run Cece, how about we hang tomorrow?" Cho said looking at her watch. Cece. I had found someone who could call me that without me actually getting upset. I smiled and agreed. I showed her out and closed the door behind her. I had a real friend. A real friend. I smiled and jumped onto the velvet couch. Click. Swish. I would recognize that sound anywhere. The slytherin door had just been opened and someone had just walked in. I turned around to see Theo walking towards me.
"Hey can we talk?"

P.O.V Eva Black
I'm so done with her treating me like this. Who does she think she is? A pimple that won't go away? She couldn't even come up with good insults. It didn't even hurt my feelings... That much.

All I wanted was some help to prep for my date with Matteo, I was nervous, I didn't know what to wear, and to top it all off I felt like I was cheating on George. Which by the way we weren't even together, so that was ridiculous.

While I slowly pieced together my outfit for today's date, I could feel myself getting worked up and stressed. Should I just cancel it? It would definitely make my life easier.

Just then there was a knock at my dorm room door. I launched myself from the bed to the door, flinging open the door in hopes it was Cecelia. It was not. Instead it was a gangly blonde girl who I recognized from 4th year. Man they were getting tall.

"That guy Matteo wants me to bring you down. You guys have got a date right?" She said, not looking into my eyes but anywhere else it seemed. "Oh yeah, I'm just going to grab my jacket. I'll be down in a minute." She nodded before leaving, not giving me a second glance.

I toddled down to meet Matteo, but was greeted with the friendly face of George. Which to be honest, was the lady face I wanted to see right now.

"Eva! Fancy seeing you here! Ha just kidding, I came here to see you." I snorted, letting myself forget I was supposed to be on a date with Matteo. Where was he anyways? "What are you doing here George? I'm sorry I can't stay with you longer but I have plans." He grabbed my shoulders. "You're still doing that? I thought your sister was mad at you?" He looked at me seriously, not breaking eye contact.

"Not with her anymore. I'm meeting up with another friend. I'm sorry. I'd love to hang out with you, I really would." He gave me a confused look. "Why wouldn't you tell me? I actually asked you to go out today." I dipped my head. "Yeah I know. But uh, Matteo asked me the day before."

His jaw clenched. He looked on the verge of angry and jealous. He was kinda hot like this...

"Matteo? What are you doing with him?" He took a step closer to me, giving me the impression he hadn't heard the term personal Space before. "Hanging out. I'm sorry if this is an inconvenience for you but I really have to go." I tried to push past him, but he pulled my into him and planted a hard kiss on my lips. It was long, and angry.

"What was that for?" I asked, regaining my posture. "Just making sure you don't forget." And with that he left, leaving me to my date.
