Oh, Merlin, Riddle

{19: Observer}

I stared at the food on my plate, my mind blank. Completely blank. The dream I had the previous night was a blur. A black and white blur. I know exactly what happened, but it was as if it wasn't supposed to happen as if an attempt to be wiped. From whom?

"Hey."

I looked up to see Alex smiling at me with his perfectly aligned teeth. I smiled back, before looking back down at my lunch. A sandwich.

"She hasn't said a word yet today, Alex," Pansy said, making him nod. "You can try, but we couldn't get her to speak."

He nodded. "So she's muted, today?"

Pansy nodded, looking at me. "Still no words?"

I didn't even look at her. I was still looking at the untouched sandwich.

"Mattheo came to the dorm last night."

Alex's words finally made me look up.

"Didn't say a word, got into the shower, and then got into bed. No word said."

"He's odd," Pansy sighed, looking around the room, until her eyes stopped.

Then, she slapped me on the arm, making me look at her in confusion. Then, my eyes moved to the doors where she had her eyes settled, only to settle my eyes as well.

Then Alex turned to the door, before whispering: "Fuck."

Mattheo Riddle stood with his arm around the one blonde who hasn't shown her face in Hogwarts after being suspended for months; Olivia Brown.

"He's fucking kidding, right?" Pansy said as she looked at me.

I scoffed with a smile, looking at him with the shit ton load of audacity he had.

"Oh He's dead " Alex said, before looking at me. "Ribbons... He's-"

I stood up, grinning. "It was fake anyways," I said, looking at Alex as he frowned. "We dated to get Joe jealous. I'm guessing he wanted her attention as well."

"But she was suspended?" Pansy frowned.

"They never broke up..."

All three of us turned to see Blaise and Theo, looking as guilty as ever.

"He always wanted you, Ribbons. When Olivia got suspended and Joe left you, he tried giving you a shot. Mattheo is a player. Please don't tell me you got attached."

I smiled, even though it was weak. "A blonde just broke that attachment."

I looked at them standing in the doorway, whispering, and she laughed, holding onto his hand that hung over her shoulder.

"Where are you going?" Pansy asked as she saw me walk off.

I didn't answer, but kept walking to the center of attention. I stepped in front of the happy couple, seeing Mattheo looking down at me with a grin.

"Rachel Rogers," Olivia smiled greedily. "What brings you here?"

I smiled, looking at her. "While you were away, your boyfriend had his teeth around my throat. Enjoy with the thought of his hands slipping up my thighs." I then looked at Mattheo's face as it filled with disbelief. "Sorry for not pushing you off me Riddle. Should've remembered about Olivia."

I then walked passed them, before hearing her start yelling at him.

Alright, lying wasn't smart, but what we did was close enough. And if Theo was right, Mattheo had clearly not loved me, because of her. He was a player. Correction- he is a player.

And I just played him his favorite game.
