After the last class I was walking around outside while snowing.

I always loved the snow. I hate that it's so cold but it's still so nice and beautiful. It's crazy how a green garden turns all white.

"What are you doing out here?" I hear a voice asking from behind me.

I turn around and see Mattheo standing there.

"I like it. The snow is nice." I say.

"It's freezing out here." he says.

He's got a point.

"Yeah, a bit." I say.

We went into an awkward silence and stood there quietly.

"So, how are you doing?" I ask after a few minutes.

"Fine I guess." he says.

"Okay. Nice." she says.

"I hate this. It's awkward as fuck." he says after a while of silence, making me chuckle.

"Yeah, let's go in?" I ask.

"Thank God, I'm freezing out here." he says, starting to walk away to go inside.

I follow him and we start walking inside.

"What's your favourite color?" I ask, trying to get a subject to talk about.

"Huh?" he asks, looking at me confused.

"Your favourite color. I want to know you better." I say.

"Uh I don't know. Does black count?" he asks.

"Black? There's plenty of colors and you chose black?" I ask laughing a bit.

"Yeah. What's yours?" he asks smiling.

Smiling. It was an actual smile, not a fake one nor a smirk. That's actually new.

"I like lilac. It's a pretty color." I say.

"Nice." he says nodding.

"How old are you again?" I ask.

"Eighteen." he says.

"Oh. Your mom had you right after having Tom? Damn." I say, making him laugh. "What?" I ask.

"It was just unexpected." he says.

"Who's your mom?" I ask curious.

"You probably heard of her or met her already." he says.

"Wait really? Who?" I ask.

"Bellatrix. Narcissa's sister." he says.

Oh I know her damn well.

I hate that woman. Crazy bitch.

"How do you know her?" he asks.

"What?" I ask.

"Uh, sorry." he quickly says.

"You were reading my mind? I hate when you do that." I say.

"Yeah, sorry." he says.

"She used to go to my house sometimes to meet up with my parents. She'd stare at me like I was an animal from another dimension." I say.

"She stares at everyone like that, if it makes you feel better." he shrugs.

"Wow, I feel so much better." I say sarcastically.
