rose

Y/N'S POV

Yule ball. The only thing I've been thinking about. Who will ask me? I was pretty popular but that's not what I wanted.

Just the day Yule ball was announced there were ten guys that asked me. But I rejected every single one.

I didn't want to go with them. I wanted one specific boy named Mattheo Riddle. All I wanted was for him to ask me out.

I wrote about that in class. I was waiting. Rejecting anyone that asked. For him. It was all for him. I was waiting for him.

But as weeks passed there was no sign that he even has intentions of asking me. I mean why would he? We were friends sometimes even a bit flirty but certainly not how two crushes act around each other.

But he probably won't ask me. I bought a dress specifically to match his personality. I did my nails. Everything except my hair was done. And my date of course.

Why did I even prepared everything if I won't go. All I wanted was for him to bring me that rose. The specific rose I explained him in smallest details.

But now there were only 3 days untill the ball and I had no date. Currently walking down the hall hoping he will ask me.

I get to my locker and then I turn around bumping in someone chest. I look up hoping it's Mattheo.

Spoiler alert it wasn't. It was Tristan, the most popular guy from Durmstrang. He was more popular then Victor Krum, yeah.

"Hi" he says while smiling. "Hi" I say confused. "Sorry, you might not know me but I thought you're very pretty so I wanted to ask you would you be my date to Yule ball" he asks.

Shit. Yule ball is in 3 days. But I want to go with Mattheo. But like if he didn't ask me yet he probably won't ask me at all. I need to decide.

Fuck it. Mattheo won't ask me so why even try. "Sure" I say giving him slight sad smile.

"Great" he says as he hands me yellow rose. Ew. I always hated that color. "See you at the ball" he says leaving.

Fuck, I shouldn't done that. "See ya" I say as he leaves. Fuck.

MATTHEO'S POV

Here I am. Tristan just asked Y/n to ball and she accepted. Fuck. I crush half black half white rose in my hand.

I should have asked her sooner. Fuck, why didn't I? Because I'm so stupid. Now she's taken.

I glanced at her paper in class. She wrote she wants me to ask her. And I was so stupid to make her wait till last minute.

Just because I didn't have enough courage to ask her. I hate it as much as I love her. I'm so fucking stupid.

I throw the rose on the ground and wipe a tear that fell from my eye. Fuck, I never cried.

What did I do? I run to Theodore. I need to tell him about it. I open the door trying to suppress my tears.

"Hi, how did it go" he asks and I shake my head knowing if I said anything I would broke down.

"What the hell happened?" he asks. "Tristan was 1 minute quicker then me in asking her out and fuck she debated for a few minutes but she accepted. I have no chance now, I was late" I say while another tear falls from my eye.

"Oh, man. It's gonna be okay" he says. "No, it's not. If I only asked her sooner. Why am I so dumb?

You know she even explained me what rose she wants. Tristan brought her a yellow rose. She hates yellow. "I fucked up." I say. Fuck.
