In Love With Him

Chapter Five

Tom's POV:

I woke up to a scream. When I turn around, it was Eleanor who was screaming

"Gosh shut up. Let me sleep." I whined

"What the hell am I doing here!" She yells

Well I guess I won't be sleeping at all today. "You passed out last night. I was going to take you to your dorm but than you passed out. My dorm was the closest."

"PASSED OUT!" She says confused

This girl is so damn annoying. I wish I could punch her across the face. "Yes you passed out. Now please stop yelling."

I went back to doing my work

She stays quiet. I could hear her walking around. "Don't touch anything."

"Sorry."

I continue working. A few minutes passed by. I was already finished. When I turned around. Eleanor was laying on my bed, staring up at the ceiling

I think she was spaced out. I kept glancing at her. I felt like a weird feeling inside of me. A feeling I never felt before

Just by looking at her, made me want to admire her more. She reminded me of the sun. Not because of her hair. She was a bright, open minded woman. Her energy was positive. She brought light into others lives. She is a fearless girl. She's not afraid to say something to you.

That's what I like in a girl. She's confident, intelligent and overall beautiful

What am I thinking. Me getting with her, pfff that's a joke. I can get with anyone I want. I mean after all I am such a good looking guy. Who doesn't want to get with me? Every girl will be on their knees if they found out I wanted a girlfriend

"What are you still doing here? Don't you have class to go to?" I shouted

She flinched. "Oh right. Thanks for helping me last night though." She replied

She put her shoes on, grabbed her robe from the nightstand. "Thanks." She put out and left

This feeling that I said before, was definitely getting bigger. I don't know what it was though. I can't like her. No I can't. She's not my type. I don't think

I need to get my shit together. She's a blood traitor. And plus she's not even in my own house. So there's no possibility that me and her would even catch feelings. It's stupid

I came out of the shower. I stepped on something

When I look, it was a bracelet. It had charms all over. It had the Gryffindor's colors. I held it closer and it had two initials

E + K

She has a boyfriend!? Wow umm that was unexpected. I should return this to her though. She must be looking for this

——————
I went to the library. I wanted to get a new book to read. I really don't have a lot of classes anymore. I had the choice to graduate early but ever since last year I couldn't. It doesn't really matter right now though

I sat in one of the tables next to the window. I started reading my book, minding my own business

"Hey. Have you seen my bracelet? I think it fell on the floor of you dorm."

I looked up from reading and saw that it was Eleanor. "Yeah here." I hand out her bracelet and continue reading

For some reason I felt jealous. Maybe it's nothing

"I also wanted to thank you. I really don't know any other way to thank you. At all."

I kept quiet. All I needed to do was ignore her. I really need to get this girl out of my life

"If there's anything, I'll be here. To return the favor."

I closed my book and looked back at her. "I don't need anything from you. I helped because there was no one around. It was late so your lucky I didn't tell a professor you were out pass curfew. Now stop being fucking annoying and get out of my life. That's how you can return the favor."

I shouldn't have said that. I should've kept my mouth shut. Her face expression changed. My anger just took over me and I can't control that. Now I feel bad

Wait. Me feeling bad? What the fuck. I never feel bad about anything. And I always do this to her and now I feel bad? What is going on with me

What if I do like her? No I can't. Maybe I should just forget about it. Plus I already told her that get out of my life. So maybe this "feeling" will go away. For good

She walked away. I seen someone run after her. Did I really fucked up? This bad!?

It's whatever. I went back to reading

——————
It was already dinner time. I sat where I usually would sit. Since the Gryffindors table was across I wanted to see if Eleanor was there

She wasn't there. Did I really take it too far?

The whole time I was just thinking. I barely even touched my food. I should eat though before someone sees that something's wrong

"Tom?"

I looked beside me. "What happened little Malfoy?" I asked

"I wanted to ask you something." He whispered. I gave him a confused look

"Who was that girl that came out of your room this morning?" He whispers to my ear

Aw shit. I completely forgot that she left this morning. I didn't even think that someone would see her

"It's nothing for you to worry about buddy. Just eat your food." I whisper back

I didn't want anyone to hear me being nice. Draco is just a small, scared little boy. He obviously needs someone older than him to take care of him

He's just like me. Wants to make our fathers proud. Obviously mine isn't in my life right now but Draco does have his. I can tell he would do anything to prove to his father he isn't a failure

But right now, he's little and won't have to deal with that till he's older

Let's just hope my influence won't also affect him.
