Stuck With In A Book 2 |OC|Fanfic| Second Book

Cranky

I woke up that morning to Tom using me as a pillow. I'm not a pillow! However this is oddly comfortable. Tom is just sleeping with his head on my chest.

"Riddle, wake up." I nudged Tom trying to wake him up. He grumbled and buried his face in my chest. Boy! I let out a sigh and just start maneuvering my way out of bed. I flop onto the floor with a painful thud. "Ow." I get up and start gathering my uniform.

Tom is still sleeping on my bed so like the pest I am I grab my pillow, and start smacking him with it. He grabs the pillow and throws it to the other side of the room.

"Tom heaven forsaken Riddle get up!" I shout I see him smirk before he buries his face in my sheets. I start trying to drag him out of bed, but I fail. I sit on the edge of my bed defeated. I start looking around for some way for me change without risking Tom seeing. I could maybe move stuff around to make a barrier. I felt Tom wrap his arm around my waist.

"I...don't wanna get up yet." He mumbled sleepily.

"Can't you sleep in your diary then."

"It's not the same."

"Yes well I need to get changed."

"I won't look, shrimp."

"That was incredibly rude, take it back."

"What so you want be to look?"

"No the calling me shrimp."

"Well what would be better than."

"My name maybe, just a thought." I replied I heard him hum for a moment.

"Mint."

"Yes." I turned to him Tom sits up

"I don't wanna go the book." His face looks almost pained. It was then I notice that back home he had been given so much freedom to run about. I didn't have to ask for him to go into the book because he just left the room. He can't do that here, it's been no secret that he prefers being free to do as he pleases. I guess I hadn't really thought about it, after all my freedom hasn't been reduced at any point.

"Fine, don't look." I mumbled getting up. Tom lays back down closing his eyes. I quickly start getting dressed trying hard not to think about him. Which is stupidly hard. I felt a chill run up my spine. I quickly whipped and around but Tom's eyes were still closed. So it couldn't have been from that. Must've just been a draft or something. I finished changing and turned to Tom. I stood next to my bed.

"Already I'm done, now we should probably get going." I poked at Tom cheek trying to irritate him into moving. He smiled and sat up.

"And if I don't wanna?"

"Not an option." I said crossing my arms. Tom wrapped his arms tightly around my torso and dragged me back into bed. He sat me down between his legs with my back to his chest. He's being weird. Fantastic, what a joy. I turn around placing my hands on his shoulders. While there was no force behind my hands, however it was like I was pushing him down. Within seconds Tom was laying down again with my hands still placed firmly on his shoulders. I felt my face change as I let out a laugh. How dumb is this?

"What kind weird power trip are you on?" He asked with grin.

"Just cause I'm on top of doesn't mean I'm on a power trip." I said crossing my arms.

"Sure you aren't." Tom said sitting up placing a hand on my lower back.

"Why would I be on a power trip from something this small?"

"I'm the dark lord."

"I don't see your point."

"Mint, look at our positions."

"...oh." looking outside looking in this probably looks rather intimate. I could feel Tom's other hand rest on my thigh. "Riddle."

"Yes?" He said with a soft smile

"Classes." I said shifting in my spot. Tom let out a loud groan and flopped back down on his back. "You can moan and groan about classes when we're in them now come on."

"I'm not coming on anything."

"Fine you'll be here by yourself then."

"You missed my joke."

"No it was just so funny that I forgot to laugh." I said lightly hitting his chest before getting up. I gathered my things and headed to breakfast then class without him.

After my first class I ran into Alex in the hallway. Victor and Alex were talking with someone else from their school. I quietly wondered my way up to the three of them. Victor Krum nodded in my direction making Alex turn around. His face lit up and voice became softer in tone. He pulled me into a tight embrace.

"Hi Minty!" I said enthusiastically "just gimme a minute to finish strategizing with Bal and Vic."

"Wow not even gonna introduce us, how rude I thought that me and Victor meant something special to you." Bal said pretending to be wounded.

"Right sorry, this is Mint she's the one I've told you guys about." Alex explained

"I'm Balthazar Grayshar, a pleasure to finally meet you." Balthazar said taking my hand and kissing it.

"As you can probably guess he is very much maidenless." Alex said making Victor chuckle.

"So are you and Krum." Balthazar countered.

"That's cause we have standards not cause we can't get any." Alex explained

"Yeah uh huh okay whatever your say." Balt said sounding unconvinced.

"This as you know is Victor Krum, or Vic as I call him." Alex said smiling towards Victor.

"It's good to have finally meet you." Victor said "Now Balthazar and I should go, we'll talk more later." Victor then started dragging away a protesting Balthazar.

"Not really sure what that was about." Alex said when the two finally turned the corner "well anyway where's your next class, I'll walk you there." I smiled and the two of us talked as we walked to my next class. It wasn't until I sat that I noticed that my face hurt from to much smiling.
