I've had the worst week of my life. Well maybe not the worst but this is making top 3. It started on the 4th, my alarm didn't go off and my roommate didn't wake me up so i was late to my second period and I got detention for a week, then i totally forgot i had a test in Transfiguration and bombed that shit. Then on the 5th my friends were all mad at me and i have no idea why. None of them have reached out or tried to talk to me since and it's the 26th. My grades have been slipping, i've been skipping class, my parents keep calling and yelling at me and my wand broke. I can't get it replaced till the 2nd of next month because i have to go to Diagon Alley but i have detention. I don't even know what to do anymore.

I walk into the Great Hall for breakfast. I haven't had much of an appetite lately. I feel like everything i eat will just come right back up. I walk in and see my old friend group snicker. I look away. But there's someone else looking at me too. Mattheo Riddle. All of my old friends had a crush on him "oh isn't he the cutest?" "Did u see him? he looked at me for a second!". i found that weird but didn't think anything of it. I sat down at the end of the table (closest to the door) and grabbed a plate.

I ate a couple of strawberries and a slice of bread.

"Why were we even friends with her? She was so boring and thought she was better than us." Astoria says

"Hey can we not talk about her? she was our friend." Pansy said

"Maybe you were hers but we all hated her." Astoria said

I stood up suddenly and they all turned their heads. I got up and walked out. As I was walking it i heard:

"oops. I guess she heard us" they all laughed

I made a B-line for the bathroom. I walked into the bathroom, got into a stall and slammed the door. I sat down in my stall and tried to stop myself from crying. I couldn't stop thinking though. My mind kept running in circles and i couldn't get it to stop. I kept thinking "is this what people think of me?" "Did they all hate me" "Why were they pretending to be my friends?". I couldn't breathe.

Once I finally gained control of my breathing. I stood up, wiped my skirt, opened the stall and went to wash my hands. I dried them. On my way out of the bathroom I bumped into someone.

"I'm so sorry." i said.

I had my head down and was looking at their shoes. I look up and see mattheo riddle. He doesn't say anything and just looks at me.

"What are you doing? This is the Girls bathroom." i say confused

He doesn't say anything he just stands there and stares. In one swift movement, he hugs me. I didn't know what to do. He didn't seem like someone who liked physical touch. but he made me feel safe and calm. The safest i've ever felt. I couldn't help but cry.

"it's okay get it all out" i heard mattheo say

I felt bad because none of this had to do with mattheo but i couldn't hold it in. I exploded and everything just came flowing out.

"It's okay you're safe with me"

A/N- i hope you liked this. i took a big break and ik this isn't the best but it's been a while. okay bye✌🏻
