Since being back at school things have been...interesting, I mean nothings changed...and yet everything was different.

James and I were closer than ever, we're together all the time, either with the boys or alone, he even came to the library with me whenever Lily and I met up to get some homework done.

It was... Great.

I love it, I have his undivided attention.

But he hasn't made any steps to actually make 'us' anything more than...what ever we were.

I wished he would.

But I wasn't gonna look a gift horse in the mouth.

I was gonna ride the wave we were on and see what happens.

Which was why I was happy enough to be walking down hall with him beside me, my hand in his and his body close to mine.

People seemed to be used to James and I's closeness as no one really paid attention to us any more than usual. A few girls had come over to try and speak with James, but he sort of just brushed them off and continued to just pull me close.

For the last week this was how it had been and like I had already said, today was no different, James had met me down in the common room and walked me to breakfast, after breakfast he walked me to class and had met me out of every class all day.

I had two classes left and when James walked me to the second to last one, I couldn't keep the smile off my face and James seemed pretty content too.

"You wanna get together after class? Maybe go for a walk?"

"I'd love too, but I was gonna see if Lily wanted to meet up later after dinner." I smiled.

"Don't worry Princess, I'll have you at that library in time to study." He chuckled, releasing my hand and wrapping his arm around my shoulder.

"You're too kind." I chuckled as he lent over and kissed my temple again.

We stopped outside of the classroom and he quickly said his good bye before fhe ran on.

But not before yelling out to me,

"I'll be waiting outside the classroom!"

As promised when class finished he was there, waiting, leaning against the wall, a smirk on his lips that I want nothing more than to kiss it away.

But I couldn't do that, not while this are so confusing with us.

So I settled for being wrapped in his arms as he chatted away in my ear about his last class and before I knew it, we were outside my last class of the day, this time he placed a kiss on my cheek before he left, leaving me a blushing mess as I walked into the classroom and sat down beside Mary.

"Wow, what happened to you? You're all red?" She chuckled, picking my cheek playfully which I swatted away.

"Nothing."

Thankfully before she could make any more comments the professor wandered and in class began.

It was a fairly easy lesson, mostly it was spent listening to the proffesor so Mary could ask anymore questions.

Class soon ended and finally it was time to go, which meant it was time to hang out again. So I hurriedly packed away my things and skipped out of class, expecting to see James stood waiting, looking as handsome and gorgeous as ever.

But he wasn't there.

So I wanted for him.

And waited.
