[002] Chapter 15

Makayla

I hate Jamie. Hate is a strong word, and I use it for everyone, but specifically for him.

This man is so abnormally nice for a Slytherin, and a Riddle. Riddles are supposed to be as cold as their father. Which is the opposite of what Jamie Riddle is.

"Hey, Jamie!" Annelise exclaims.

Mattheo and I both roll our eyes. For once, he and I agree.

"What're you guys doing here?" Jamie asks.

I blink once, then twice, "Eating, obviously."

He chuckles awkwardly, "Cool! Can I join you?"

Louis, Mattheo, Theodore, and I all say, "No," but we aren't shocked to hear Annelise's, "Yes!" in the midst of our refusal. She's going to be the death of me one day.

"Why do I have a feeling you guys don't want me here?"

"Because we don't," Louis says.

"Louis!" Annelise shouts in a whisper.

"It's true."

"Well–I'll go then!" Jamie says overdramatically.

"Okay," Louis and I say almost in sync in the most sarcastic way possible.

He rolls his eyes then storms off. Annelise looks mad.

"Did you have to do that?"

"Yes," I say.

Then Louis says, "Yeah."

Mattheo says, "Absolutely."

And Theodore says, "Kind of."

She rolls her eyes, "Don't do that again!"

"Why not? He's annoying!" I defend.

"Listen, I get that you're not used to being in a place where everyone's equal, Makayla, but you're going to have to get used to it, because none of this is going to change. And it looks like neither are you."

"Think of me all you want, I'm just saying that I know Jamie. He's annoying as fuck. All he does is piss Jordyn and I off when–"

"Wait–you and Jordyn? Who is he? Louis?"

"Hey!" Louis interrupts.

"He's Jordyn's brother," I say, "obviously."

"He's the worst," Mattheo says.

"Woah–like actually?" Annelise asks, dumbfounded. Sometimes I think she pretends to be stupid. I roll my eyes, giving up, and continuing to eat my ice cream. "Hello?" she asks once more, awaiting an answer.

"Yes, they are siblings," I say, almost annoyed.

After a long pause, she stupidly says, "Oh."

We all go back to eating our ice creams until a staff member walks up to our table and says, "Store's about to close. Finish up and clear out."

I roll my eyes and eat the last bit of ice cream, stepping out of the seat, and putting the cup in the trash. Louis, Matheo, Theodore, and Annelise all shortly trail behind me, throwing their cups, or wrappers that were once on their cones before they practically swallowed the whole waffle, into the trash.

We walk out the parlour and make our way back to Hogwarts. Theodore, Mattheo, and Louis are laughing about something the whole time. Annelise and I walk behind them. Merlin, they're slow walkers. This is going to take ages.

They burst into laughter once more and I shout out, "Can you guys shut up and walk quicker? You all walk slower than Draco."

This causes Theodore and Mattheo to laugh again, but Louis shuts up. Thank Merlin. Those boys were giving me a headache.
