I guess this is awkward

After that chaotic but biggest event last night, I woke up hangover and so sore, my body was completely aching and I feel like I couldn't even move it felt as I was paralyzed from my shoulders down to my feet. I had to forcibly grab my bedside table and make myself get out of bed. Fortunately, I was able to buy myself a my own bedroom in the Slytherin dormitories, usually you only get a single bed your final year and you have to pay extra for it but you know I would only want the best for my school so I had to pay to get what I want.

I got up from my bed and walked over to my dresser and where I got a glimpse of myself in the mirror where I saw this big dark bruise on my back. Holy shit. I didn't think that I was slammed that hard into the rock but maybe my adrenaline was bumping that much it didn't feel as bad, everytime I move my shoulders it feels like needles getting stabbed all over and Damn my back muscles look good all the work really paid off but beside how good my back looked It had took me forever to get dressed because of how much pain I was and when I put my white collar on you could see how dark the bruise was through my shirt and don't, even get me started on putting my tie on.

After forever, I got dressed and slowly went down each long stairs into to the great hall for breakfast where already Lorenzo and Theodore are stuffing their faces with everything on the table, I took a seat on the other side of them and begin putting food on my plate."What a great night last night, huh? Word got around fast everyone is talking about it." Lorenzo said as he took a bite of his cereal, Theodore hit him on his chest making him drop his spoon. "Yeah word spread fast meaning that they informed our parents, you idiot. I'm just waiting for my parents to owl me." The very much advantage of the school mot knowing who to letter, I don't have to be reprimanded at all really besides Snape he overhears the teachers talking about my behavior and talks to me like he is my dad.

"You are waiting for your letter, I got mine right when I woke up this morning. My parents are pissed. Saying that everyone in their office is talking about it and how embarrassing it was for them to be talking about me. Like I wasn't even the one fighting." Lorenzo complained, rolling his eyes, they looked at me while I poked at my food and Lorenzo spoke up, "So, Mattheo were you okay after you know getting thrown to a big rock." They both looked at me awkwardly and I just shook my head. They always feel bad when they mention their parents around me, thinking that it has some sort of affect on me, because on my file there is no address or no one to send an owl too. Just blank.

We kinda sat there quietly before Alex who came out of no where sat down beside me with ice pack on the side of his face. "I mean this in the nicest way but you look disgusting." Theodore said looking Alex up and down with every inch of his face full of disgust. Alex looked at him before staring back at his empty plate. "Well not like you would care Alex, but I overheard your sister and Tristan fighting earlier. Sounded pretty intense." Lorenzo shrugged, he looked at Alex waiting for him to say something. Little Enzo always instigating everything. "Can't I just have a minute of peace without you guys mentioning it!" We all looked at him then at each other with Theodore rolling his eyes. "Geez just trying to help you out man." Lorenzo said as he put a spoonful of cereal in his mouth but Lorenzo gaze followed behind Alex and with a mouth full of food, "speaking of your sister."

Alora walked behind Alex with her hands clenched together, and when I took a look at her you could see her puffy eyes like she was crying and her hair was now curly instead of straight which is unusual because she hated her curly hair. "Alex do you think we can talk..." We all looked at her but Alex, he just sat facing forward with his ice pack on his face staring down at his reflection in the plate. None of us said anything but just watched both of their movements. Alora reached out her hand to tap Alex and once her hand had touched Alex back he immediately jerked up causing Alora to flinch. Many of the kids around us looked at them watching it like it some sort of entertainment, Alex grabbed her wrist while Alora just stood there looking at him.

"Don't fucking touch me." He yelled through gritted teeth, everyone that was around us all looked at Alex and Alora staring. Some whispering to others and others mouth agape. Alora just stared at him ripping her arm away from him, "I don't want you near me..go bother your boyfriend for all I care." Alex had grabbed his ice pack from the table storming off while Alora just stood there letting him get the last word. Never seen Alex so angry, he usually was the type to be calm and collected. He wasn't the one getting into fighting or causing trouble he was just there with us. I'm not sure what caused us to be friends with him. We have nothing in common.

The incident that happened earlier in the great hall obviously spread around school which is no surprise since everyone has loud mouths here and no matter what I went I would hear someone talk about. I had to get away from the noise so I went over to my loner spot. Somewhere I found my second year while just walking around and it's one of the stands on the quidditch field. It was where the teachers and staff used to sit but it was not longer used due to some accident or something. With a couple fixes it made an area where I can be alone.

I just lay there with my new thing i secretly brought into school, a Walkman. I found it at some store back in the muggle world and this shit is life changing. I only bring it out here by myself since I know Lorenzo would break it or Theodore would question my music taste. I just connect the headphones into and let it play. It's better when I'm on a high and feels like everything around me is gone and I'm just there. There is no people yelling in my ear of any drama I was in or why did I do this and blah blah blah. The noise just cancels out and I can finally be free away from this world. I grab the pack from my pocket and of course empty. The one time I actually need it.

I just laid there with the music booming in my ears, eyes closed and laying in the cloudy cold air. Peace finally until noise hit me again where something was thrown on my stomach completely startling me. I jumped with headphones ripping off my head and down underneath of the seats and an unopened pack was laying in my lap. What the fuck? Did it suddenly rain a pack? Then of course when I look up there I see Alora Ivory. How did she find me? No fucking idea. She was standing there with her bag in hand and that curly hair. Oh that curly hair. "Did I scare you?" She asked, "what the hell are you doing here? How did you even find this place firstly?"
"I've been seeing you up here."

She just stood there awkwardly with her little brown briefcase just standing in front of me, completely ruining my peace. "So you are some stalker then, huh? I knew you fancied me, Ivory." She rolled her eyes. "You are the last one I would want to know all about."
"Oh because you are too busy worrying about your boyfriend?" She sighed as she has sucked in her right cheek and bit it, nothing to say. Caught her off guard that's for sure. "Are you just gonna stand there stupidly or are you gonna take a seat." Her eyes went to the bench and without any word she set down her bag and took a seat far away from me. "I need someone to talk to."
