you're slumped over the cold desk of Mr. Highbottom's class. eyes threatening to shut with your lack of sleep from last night.

suddenly, they're wide as you flinch, Coriolanus slams his books down before slouching in his chair

"Rough night?" he teases, your eyes roll before turning toward the class as Mr.Highbottom strolls in

"Just studying, something you can never say" you whisper with a grin, eyes trailing from your professor to the boy you've been thinking about for ages

Serjanus Plinth.

you're gonna ask him to the winter formal after class. 

you feel giddy as you turn back to your teacher, only to see a solemn Coryo from the corner of your eye.

.

you try and keep up with your feet as you slide in between bystanders,

"Sorry! My bad!" you squeal as people and classmates shoot you dirty looks

your legs impossibly move faster once you see signature white hair on a pretentious body 

"Coryo!" You yelp, hand flailing stupidly. he turns, piercing blue eyes widening before booking it down the hall

"Coriolanus Snow!" you scream, turning a corner to see a closet door shut

you scoff, swinging the door open to see a twisted Coryo trying to fit in the small space

"Hey," he playfully smiles, 

you huff, walking inside the cramped room, making sure to close the door so no one will hear your yelling.

an orange lightbulb limply hangs, separating you two as he looks increasingly nervous

"I talked to Sejanus today" 

"Oh" he scratches his neck

"I asked him to the winter formal"

"...And?" He asks as if he doesn't know

"He said 'Oh, did you break up with Snow?'" You mock, using a deeper voice for Sejanus, making Snow grin slightly. This is nothing to grin about. you hit his chest and he whispers an "ow"

"WHY did you tell him we were together?" you whine, feeling another urge to hit his chest, and you do, repeatedly 

"I- I didn't! He probably just- didn't like you!" he yelps, you stop your abuse and let your arms fall, and you feel your eyes burn with his comment.

"No, Y//n, I didn't mean it like that-" you reach towards the handle as he tries to grab your arm

you twist it, and it doesn't budge.

the closet is locked. and you're trapped with the last person you want to see on earth right now.
