Lost in the Truth

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

I made my way to class after seeing the way pansy looked at me, and i saw no good intention in her. Old me would've slapped her the second she looked at me like that, but this is new me and I will remain calm no matter what.

Pansy avoided sitting next to me in class.

"Seriously whats her problem?" i ask as i turn to look at blaise and draco for a response, Draco simply looks another direction and blaise gives me an apologetic look.

"Today you'll be working on a paper, on a potion of your choice, you will turn it in, in three days time... so begin." professor snape says as the students scramble around finding their seats, in the scramble Mattheo winds up next to me while pansy sits in his old seat.

"Hey" mattheo says as he settles in his seat.

"Hey, to you too." i say as i place my head on my hands perched on the table in front of me.

"Pansy is being more prissy than usual." mattheo says

"Tell me about it." i say as i giggle slightly, making him laugh slightly back.

"Ms. Gaumount, Mr.Riddle care to share what's so amusing to the rest of the class?" professor snape asks

"Sorry" me and mattheo say in unison trying to hold back our laughter.

-

Potions was rather fun with mattheo, he would make the wittiest jokes yet would be able to hold a conversation.

We walked out of the class together talking about how snape kept his eye on us during class, we found it so amusing.

Ambrose and avery joined us as draco and the rest of the boys lingered not far behind, i didn't even realize me and mattheo were walking together to our next class until Ambrose pointed it out.

"Ouu, mattheo." ambrose whispers in my ear making me shove him off playfully, but my slightly positive mood now shifted when pansy shoved past between me and mattheo making sure she bumped into me, as she muttered the word 'bitch' under her breath as she walked by.

"Hey pansy, watch it." i say with a slight smile trying to keep in my anger.

"Sorry, did you not hear me? I said move bitch."pansy says louder this time and with confidence as daphne and tracey push past me in the same manner she did. Which drove me over the edge.

fury ignited in my eyes as I began walking towards her wanting to slap the shit out of her, "listen here you little bowl cut bitch, you don't talk to me like that, ever." i say cutting the distance between us, now nose to nose, ambrose and avery keep their distance very close to me making sure i didn't lash out.

"What are you going to do Bella? Hit me?" she says as her eyes pierce daggers into me.

"You know what i wasn't but since you're asking yeah sure why not." i say as i swing my arm back and slap her across the face making her lash out and grab onto my hair causing a full on cat fight, which only made me laugh as pansy desperately tried to get a hold of my hair and get a punch in. which only made me actually punch her. So i did, right in the centre of her face.

Ambrose and avery finally pulled me off of her, she was screaming and crying and cursing all she could at me, but all i did was laugh as i was pulled away barely being restrained by my two best friends.

Avery and ambrose didn't release their hold on me until we were locked in ambrose's dorm.

"Really Bella?"avery says rolling her eyes

"You heard what she said to me, what did you expect that i just stand there and let her say what she did?" i say

"You've been told worse, Bella, this was something else. You wanted to hit her regardless of what she said. She could've said you looked beautiful and you would've still punched her." ambrose says shoving me down onto his bed.

"And what's wrong with that?" i say pushing his arms off of me

"Your impulse control is no good bella, now you're going to have pansy and her photocopies after you, as if we didn't already have enough problems." avery says as she paces the room 

"Control yourself or you're going to be sent off again." ambrose says as he braces my shoulders shaking me into reality

"Yeah, yeah i know." i say rolling my eyes.

"We mean it bella." avery says taking a pause in her pacing to glare at me.

"And i mean it when i say, i don't regret hitting her." i say honestly

"Well you will... dumbledore is looking for you" blaise says from the door, we all look over in shock. Great.

-

I sat in dumbledore's office waiting for him to grace me with his presence and lecture me and threaten to call my parents.

"I expect more from you Arabella" dumbledore says as he enters his office.

"I really doubt that, this is pretty much my brand." i say sarcastically as i track him walking through his office from my seat infront of his desk

"Arabella, there is no need for me to send for your parents if you just learn to walk away from all of life's lessons." he says 

"You do know im like 16, i have no idea what you mean by that, and besides she started it." i say defensively

"You are a child, arabella, and you have been cursed with problems beyond your years, yet they cannot be simply passed on to anyone. Life doesn't give you more than what you can handle." he says

"But I don't want it... respectfully." i say as i sit back in my seat.

"Yet you have it and you can't get rid of it, so in other words arabella. Suck it up." he says with a slight smile like he's been waiting to say that to me.

"Fine but im not going to be nice to pansy if that's what your asking, i just won't punch her anymore." i say as i stand from my seat not leaving time for discussion and walking right out of his office.

-

"Are you in trouble?" avery asks

"What? No. i just have to refrain from punching pansy." i say waving my hands in sarcastic surprise

Avery simply rolls her eyes as we head towards divination with the rest of the group. Ambrose hadn't bothered to continue going to class today and decided to stay in his dorm, and well pansy was stuck in the hospital wing.

Murmurs. Thats all i heard during divination. Everyone already heard of me and pansy's 'fight'.

"So what's the verdict?" theo asks from one table over.

"What?" i ask as i turn to him in annoyance.

"Geez, I was just wondering what your punishment was." theo says putting his hands up defensively giving you a devilish smirk, i couldn't help but let a smirk break through as i rolled my eyes

"Nothing, i'm not in trouble." i say as i turn back to the crazy rantings of professor trelawney.

"Well shit's going to be awkward now." theo whispers to mattheo who was sitting next to him. Making mattheo laugh slightly

-

Class today was very similar to the rest, murmurs, the occasional "what happened?" from other students and avery never leaving my side when she was around.

And well for me, well today was just great. Draco not only is avoiding talking to me but when we are the only ones around he doesn't even acknowledge my existence, much like pansy was, which only puts me on edge. Is he going to pull a pansy?

Today honestly couldn't get any worse, i decided to skip my last two classes and just get my mind off of all of this.

Avery and i snuck up to my dorm, and as soon as i entered the room, two of my father's guards were standing in my presence with their arms crossed.

One of the guards handed me a letter, waiting for me to take it from his hand. I hesitantly did, knowing it could only be from my father.

And I was right, it was a letter from none other than my wretched father.
