Clementines pov:

"Clementine?" i heard.
someone tapping on my shoulder, i groaned, opened my eyes and looking around.
Harry's face looking down at me.
i sat up and rubbed my eyes.

"did we fall asleep?"
"i guess so" said Harry. he wasn't wearing his glasses and his hair was messy.
i looked around. the room was dark, the curtains still open and rain was pounding on the window, loud thunder crashing and strikes of lightning making the window light up.

i rubbed my eyes, trying to wake myself up.
Harry had already gotten out of bed, walking over to the bathroom.
i fell back into my sheets and covers, wrapping myself in the warmth.

"are you just going to lay in bed all day" Harry spoke, walking out with his toothbrush still in his mouth.
"why not" i yawned.
he rolled his eyes jokingly and went back into the bathroom.
i turned to my other side and stretched out my arms, preparing myself to get out of bed.

i was with Harry as we walked around together, it was rainy out which meant we couldnt really go outside to spend our spare time so we ended up in the library.

i feel like every worst possible thing has happened to me in this library.
including meeting Darius which speaking of the worst person i have ever met.

i was searching for a certain book when i heard a cocky voice behind me.
"you move on quickly" i heard that fimliar voice, i could tell he was smirking just by his annoying tone.
i chose to ignore him, mainly because i would prefer not to get in trouble for smacking my ex in the face.
"so you've decided to just ignore me then huh?" He spat, leaning himself agaisnt the shelf.

i reached up to put a book up and he grabbed it from my hands, reading the title.
"i think ill read this one" he smiled, i slowly turned to look at him. i could say ugly face but he isnt ugly at all, and yes maybe most girls swoon over him, but most definitely not me.
"good for you" i said, turning back around and plaining to walk away.
"sassy" he muttered, i stopped and turned to look at him.

"im not afraid to punt you" i said, glaring at him, he scoffed.
"really?"
"yes"
"you know Clementine" he said, his voice turning softer as he slowly approached me, i backed myself into a wall.
"you can act like i was the horrible person in our relationship but you know damn well that you have issues you need to sort out with yourself.."
i exhaled heavily.
"oh so... cheating isnt bad to you in your book?"
"i never even liked you, i just felt bad that a decent looking girl was in love with me"
"in love!? thats what you think" i laughed in his face, pushing him out of my way, making him stumble back into the bookshelf.
"you can make up lies about our relatonship but you and me both know you were a dick head the whole entire time" i said, a finger pointed in his face.
i turned around and went to exit the library but he continued to nag at me.
"grow up Clementine, the earth doesnt revolve around you"
i bit the inside of my cheek and continued to walk away, pulling Harry to come with me so Darius wouldnt harass him as well.

Sages pov:

i was hanging out with Hallie when she decided she wanted to apologize to Fred about the whole entire hitting him with a book.

since we were now dating it felt appropriate.

"Fred" she called out, running over to the twins.
i saw him embrace himself for either more attacks from the gremlin or a giant hug.
but she stopped herself in front of him.

"i would like apologize for hitting you in the head with that book... and well everywhere else" Hallie spoke.
"i couldn't read for a month after that" Fred said, rubbing his head probably remembering the trauma.
"you couldn't read before that idiot" George said, popping around the corner.
we all toppled over into a pit of laughter.
Fred forgave Hallie meanwhile George and I were still containing ourselves

Karl ended up finding us and hanging out for a while, then eventually  stole Hallie from our group.

-

"i'm going to find Angelina" George spoke, getting up and walking off, Fred and I looked at each other then shrugged, deciding we would go along with him.

Angelina made me want to slap her all the time, it's like she doesn't even like George, she just wants to be all over Fred, George can't see how toxic she is... but i guess whatever makes him the happiest is best.

"Angelina!" George called out, rushing over to her, she smiled and pulled him into a kiss, i awkwardly turned to Fred, who averted his eyes.

they came rushing up to us.
"hi Fred" cooed Angelina, she was hanging on to Georges arm for dear life, just like a sucking annoying leach.
she gave these innocent eyes up at Fred.
"uh.. hi" Fred awkwardly stood with his hands in his trouser pockets.

Angelina turned towards me, her facial expression immediately dropping.
"hello" she said, monotoned with her teeth gritted.
"come on let's go have some fun Georgie" she smiled, turning on her heels to face George, he nodded happily and she skipped down the hall with George trying to keep up with her.

i wanted to punch her in the face so badly.
Fred took ahold of my hand, intertwining our fingers.

"are you alright love?" he asked, turning his head, i nodded slowly, not exactly the truth, but we both ended up following the cheery couple.

-

as i was forced to hang around George and his snobby girlfriend i noticed the way she would search for Fred's validation, or how she would look at Fred with needy eyes.

i had my eyes locked on her all night, every time she made eye contact with me she looked a little scared, as she should be.

i was not going to let her get anywhere near Fred with those grubby hands of hers.

George was to love blind to notice her behavior.
so i was stuck with them.

I think Fred began to notice how uncomfortable i became so he just expressed to the two that we were both pretty tired.
Angelina of course begged for us to stay, it looks like she was going to become a leech for
Fred as well, so we quickly ran off together.

we spent some time together in his dorm, until George came back and i decided it was time for me to go back to my dorm, and i was actually quite tired this time.
