In Love With Him

Chapter Four

Tom's POV:

In the great hall, the Gryffindor table was in front of the Slytherins. Eleanor sat facing me but at her table

All I could do is look at her. She kept looking down and then looking straight at me

I hate her but I have to admit she's beautiful. She always looked beautiful. Ew. What the fuck am I thinking. She's a slut. And so ugly

I see her leave the great hall. At first I didn't care but the curiosity in me took over

"Tom. Are you okay?" Draco asks

"Yeah. I'm fine. Don't worry about me little Malfoy." I pat his head.

I wanted to go after Eleanor but I couldn't leave though. I'm a Prefect. I have to stay and show the new students of Slytherins their dorms and rules

Sometimes I wish I wasn't a Prefect. But I was chosen. It's my job now. That's what happens when your a good, perfect student

——————

After taking the students to the dorms, I went on hallway duty. I have to make sure no one isn't in the halls after curfew hours

I could hear someone. I didn't know from where though. Since it's quiet in the halls, there's a lot of echoes

I started following the footsteps. It sounded like they were running. I kept following the footsteps until they stopped. I turn the corner and see someone on the floor. The closer I got, I realized who it was

It was Eleanor. Something was wrong though. She didn't look okay. Wait, why do I even care. I am a prefect, it's my job to see what's wrong

I walked in front of her. She didn't notice me. Great. Now I have to speak to her

"Looks like someone isn't okay." I say

She looks up to me. Her face was red. Her eyes weren't blue, they were red. It looks like she's been crying

"Go away Riddle." She expressed

"I can tell you're not doing okay. You're having a panic attack. Is it your first time having one?" I asked

"Yes. Now go away you asshole!"

I was getting annoyed at this point. Who the hell does she think she is talking to me like that

"Just let me help you. We may hate each other but clearly you need help."

"Just go away Riddle!" She yelled

I was getting more annoyed. I was hiding it though

She took off her robe. Her whole face was red. I swear if this girl doesn't let me help her, then she'll have to spend the night here

"Just let me help you. You clearly need help." I requested

She didn't say anything. But deep down she knows I'm right

I grabbed her arm and pull her up. I grabbed her by the waist to help her stand and walk. "Can you try and walk?" I asked. She just nodded

The Gryffindor dorms were at the other side of the school. She's obviously isn't gonna make it. She could passed out or something

"I don't feel good at all right now.." She whines

"Just try and continue walking. We're almost there."

I'm taking her to my dorm. It's the closest one and the only option

Eleanor stopped walking and fell. Shit. This bitch passed out

"Eleanor. Wake up." I tap her cheek to try and wake her up. But instead I was burned. Her skin was burning. She's probably has a fever, I don't know

I put her up and continue walking to the Slytherin dorms

I got there. Luckily no one was in the common area. I took her upstairs to my dorm. I pushed open the door. I walked over to my bed and lay her down

I walked over to the window and opened it. It was a bit windy but it could help her cool off

I took her shoes off and placed the covers over her. I went over to my desk and sat down. I already had some work to do, since I'm a prefect

                                    ——————

It was already getting really late. I walked over to the bed to check on how Eleanor was doing

She cooled off. She wasn't burning anymore. She was sleeping so peacefully

She looked so beautiful. Wait what am I thinking. I need to snap out of it

I went back to the desk and continue working. But I couldn't work. She was in my mind. What is going on. I can't catch feelings for this loser. That's impossible

Maybe I'm just tired. After all, it's been a really long day. I've been doing a lot. Maybe I should get rest

I'm such a dumbass. I can't. She's in my bed. Well I barely even sleep there either way. I'm always sleeping at the desk. Or sometime I don't even sleep

But maybe I should sleep. Tomorrow is gonna be a long day..
