(Aurelia's Pov)
September 29th
Todays the day of the trip.
Hagrid told the class to meet at 5:00pm
"In a few moments the other blocks will be joining for the combined trip." Said Hagrid.
The door opened, and the other classes started piling in. Suddenly Draco, Theodore, and Mattheo walked in. We made eye contact, and looked away.
Of course they're coming.
Trailing a few people behind them was Enzo.
"At the front desks are name tags. Please find yours, and place it somewhere visible on your shirt." Said Hagrid.
Everyone went to get their names but I stayed back. Suddenly, someone tapped on my shoulder.
"Here's your name tag. Sorry for tapping you." Said Enzo.
"That's okay." I said grabbing it.
The bus arrived, and we hopped in. Enzo went to sit next to me when someone called him.
"Sit with us back here." Said Theodore.
"No. If you guys paid attention you'd know that long drives make me sick. I sit in the front so it's not bumpy." Said Enzo.
Enzo sat next to me, and Theodore walked away.
"The drives three hours, are you gonna be alright Enzo?"
"I'll be fine, I try to nap."
"Want the window seat so you can rest your head?"
"No looking out the window makes my motion sickness worse."
The bus started driving, and Enzo rested his head back.
"If you need water let me know." I said.
My mom got motion sickness, so my dad always had water. Water helped my mom, and my dad was always there for her.
My parents were head over heels for each other. In fact they still are.
That's why they hate me. I ruined their life, their freedom, I took up space.
I wasn't planned, but my parents had no choice but to have me. If the media found out they aborted a child, it couldn't been a bad look for their business.
And my parents always reminded me of that.
"Aurelia we wish you were never born"
"Aurelia before you we were living the life"
"Life was perfect without you"
I heard shuffling and looked at Enzo.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine, just can't get comfortable."
I grabbed his head, and placed it on my shoulder.
"There." I said.
"Are you sure?"
"Mmhm."
Enzo's body relaxed, and he rested his hand on my thigh.
"Shit." He said yanking it away.
Enzo never forgets.
I grabbed his hand, and placed it back on me.
"Get comfortable."
Enzo's touch on my thigh was light, and I was okay with it. I know Enzo wouldn't pull anything.
"Alright sleep. It's only been ten minutes."
Enzo groaned, and I giggled.
Ew, I fucking giggled.
I cleared my throat, and rested my hand on Enzo's face. I gently rubbed his cheek, and Enzo let out a sigh.
"For someone who hates touch, you're quite good at it." He said.
"Sorry?" I said raising my eyebrows.
