CHAPTER 11

SAME DAY.

"What?" I said as he towered over me. Mattheo stared at me and then at my lips. I stared at him with disbelief not believing the sentence that just spilled from his mouth.

"I said what I said. You heard me Y/n," he whispered in my ear as he pushed my hair back behind my ear. My cheeks went pink as I processed his words. "So princess do you want this or not?"

"You aren't joking?"

"No."

"Certain."

"Completely."

"So you like me?"

"Possibly?"

"Mattheo!!"

"Yes fine I do."

As those words came out his mouth I pulled his tie and kissed him. He kissed me back as his hands trailed down to my lower back. He pressed his body against mine and my hands moved up to the back of his neck. He pulled away and looked at me.

"Y/n keep this between me and you. I don't want anyone finding out about us," he said and I looked up at him.

"Us??" I said and Mattheo's face went blank. "So are we a thing now??" I asked and he fell silent. "I'll take that as a yes, yes?"

"Sure," he said as he kissed me further.

———————————————————

After a while me and Mattheo made it to the great hall and we parted ways. I walked up to see Fred sitting down and talking to Harry. They both turned to me and their eyes darted to my chest.

"Y/n," said Harry and I raised my eyebrow, "Hickeys? Who gave you hickeys?" My face went red and I shook my head.

"I burnt myself with my hair straighteners," I said with a laugh. Fred crossed his arms.

"Your hair is curly today," Fred said as Harry had a furious look. I rolled my eyes and turned away. As Harry yapped about how whoever it is will be killed, I decided to block him out. All I cared about was me and Mattheo had a thing. We weren't dating but it wasn't just friends. I guess you could say friends with benefits.

The realisation hit when I remembered who I just gotten involved with. The son of the man who killed my parents, murdered them. I tried to shrug it off thinking to myself he's different he's not like him.m, I hope. As the bell rang I stood up but someone held my hand back, it was Fred.

"Y/n who did that to your neck?" He asked in a serious tone. I turned to him as I watched people leave. Mattheo waited at the door in front of us.

"No one Fred," I said as I looked towards Mattheo. Fred turned around and looked at him, then turned back to me with anger in his eyes.

"Him? Y/n he did that to you? After what his dad did to your parents? After what he did and said to you? Remember when he punched me? Y/n you can't be serious," Fred said angrily as I looked at him. I fell silent not knowing what to say and Mattheo leaned against the door. "Nah fuck this. Y/n you are with the boy who is known to be a killer just like his shitty father. He's laid his fingers on you! Multiple fucking times. You really must be a slut," he said coldly as he turned away.

My face dropped as I watched him walk away. Mattheo watched him pass by and it was just him and I in the room. Tears formed in my eyes and I sat back down. Mattheo walked up to me and sat next to me.

"You're better off without him," he said as we both heard the door slam shut. Tears rolled down my face and turned back to Mattheo with anger.

"If I didn't kiss you this would have never happened. Fuck what was I thinking? I lost my best friend over a boy I'm not even dating," I sobbed and covered my face with my hands. Mattheo put his arm around me and pulled me into a hug.

"Listen he'll get over it eventually. It's not like we are dating so it's not serious," he said as I sobbed in his arms. We stayed there for a few minutes before Mattheo stood up and held his hand out. I put my hand on top of his and he walked me out. As soon as we left the hall he let go and I followed him to our next lesson.

The whole day I was silent, even when teachers tried to talk to me I said nothing, Mattheo just told them I was in a really bad mood so they let me go. The bell rang for lunch and Mattheo walked in with me.

I looked at Fred who was sitting next to someone else I had nowhere to go. Harry was with all his friends and well Fred was sitting around a bunch of people.

Mattheo grabbed my arm and dragged me over to the Slytherin table. "Don't ask, she's sitting here," he said as he made me sit down next to him. I was sat with Theo, Lorenzo, Blaise, Pansy and Draco.

"Good with me," said Theo and I laughed. Mattheo gave him that look again but didn't say anything as he talked to Lorenzo. "So why aren't you sat with Fred?"

"We fell out. Nothing big Theo just a little fallout," I said quietly and Mattheo looked at me as I pushed the plate away from me.

"You aren't going to eat?" Mattheo asked and I shook my head. "C'mon eat a little Y/n." He placed an apple in front of me as I took a bite of it and he gave me a small smile before turning away. He was being nice and it made me happy.

After a while of chatting, I turned around to see Fred staring at me with disgust. I gave him a small smile hoping he would return it but he turned away. I sighed and turned back around. Theo gave me a reassuring smile and he climbed over the table to hug me. I hugged him back but I felt Mattheo's eyes staring at me as I did so.

The bell rang a final time but me, Mattheo, Theo and Lorenzo stayed.
"Y/n you still throwing a party?" Lorenzo asked and I nodded.

"Yes, tomorrow!! You better come. No first years or second years allowed by the way," I said and he laughed.

"Of course not. I've told everyone who's in 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th year," Enzo said and Theo laughed. "It's a dressing-up one, right? I told people it was." I nodded and he grinned. "I have a great outfit," he said excitedly and I smiled.

"Me too!!" I said. Enzo and I talked about our outfits as Mattheo and Theo listened. Tomorrow is going to be fun, I know it.

SORRY ITS SHORT!! HOPE YOU ARE ENJOYING SO FAR.
