Suddenly it doesn't feel so peaceful out here. The air is filled with him and his god damn cologne that smells like evry fictional men people dream about. Lucky me having him in my school!
So fun!

"How did you find me?" I ask, ignoring his previous remark.

"I just know you come here often", He says matter of factly.

I laugh at his words. It almost sound like a pick up line, the only difference is that this isn't a bar filled with drunkards and I'm not the type people would want to pick up.

"How did you know?", I ask breathing in every speck of the cold air and every hint of him swaying in the air.

The wind picks up and whistles in my ears as it picks up the cold air and plants it on my bare skin.
A silent hiss escapes my lips.

"Are you cold?",He asks with a hint of concern, his pride stripped of him for a sudden moment.

It doesn't matter because I will not be falling for this. I'm to invisible for someone that shines brighter than the spotlight to care about.

"It doesn't matter", I detach myself from the pillar,"I'm going inside anyway. Don't want to miss class and all that right," I day distinctly as I disappear between the pillars.

In Ravenclaw I stood first in every class. The professors plaster our names on the walls like some kind of trophies. I walk into my first class and before I seat myself at the furthest, darkest corner, I notice that I'm first in this class too, tied with Draco.

That's perfect.
Very wonderful.
I could just light on fire and burn alive. No really I wouldn't mind if that were to happen because contrary to popular belief, this is not perfect. Not at all. Now I just know he'll loathe me. It's like every fucking step I take, hints of him is plastered like posters or chewed gum stuck under a table or portraits hanging in the halls.

Before Draco enters the classroom I can hear his laugh. It's the kind of laugh that's born from something dark. Diffrent from the one this morning. He enters the classroom, still laughing with his friends and he goes to take his seat. He doesn't see the names plastered on the wall!
Good.
No, wait, save the parade because Draco stops mid step and stares at the chart on the wall.

I'd like to become one with the earth now, thank you very much.

I watch his face for a reaction but I can't detach a real emotion from the thick layer of pride slicked over him. A slight tension is visible but it disappears the moment it appeared.

"Looks like you've got some competition Malfoy", One of his friends jokes.

"Shut up", Draco says his voice filled with anger.

His friends takes this as an invitation to go away.

In every single class we enter, the results are the same. Draco and I tied first. How does that even happen?!

Right before lunch, Draco brushes past me" I'll catch up to you l/n"
