The school day started off with a bang. Daphne stormed up to Pansy who was standing beside Astoria and I. "Pansy." Daphne lets out. Pansy looks at Daphne unbothered, "What is it?" She says tiredly. I watch Daphne, she looks furious.

Her hands our shaking as she is stuttering trying to make up her words into sentences. Astoria scoffs, "Well let out Daphne, you sound like a stuttering goon." 

Daphne glared at her younger sister. I slightly raised my eyebrow at Daphne, waiting for it. And then it came out. "I'm dropping you!" She blurts out. Pansy's posture stiffened as she slowly uncrossed her arms. "What-"
"I'm dropping you, I'm tired of your shit and your drama, in fact I'm tired of everything about you. Stop inflicting your problems on me, or anyone else. It's tiring, it's boring, deal with them on your own or go and talk to my baby sister who you hate on the inside." She rants.

The hallway goes a little quiet as people start snickering at Pansy. Daphne is fanning she self as she tried to catch her breath. People are laughing to Pansy, and Astoria is glaring at Pansy.

Pansy pushes Daphne, "Drop me then! But who will you go to?" She laughs in her face. Daphne stumbles as she's pushed hard. But as she regains hee balance she scoffs, "First of all, don't touch me. And secondly, Serene and Sophia seem nice. Wayy better than whatever you have going on with my sister." She pushed Pansy back.

Pansy goes to lunge at her but I grab her, "That's enough." I cut in. Pansy is triggered as she starts yelling at people staring and laughing.
I watch as Serene runs up to Daphne and gives her a big hug, alone with Sophia.

Astoria scoffs, "Well?" She says to Pansy. Pansy rants as she denies everything Daphne said. Astoria knows it's true, buts he needs at least one friend whose a girl. So she ignores it.
"Hey, I've got to go check on Serene." I say trying to break from Astorias grip on my arm.
She looks at me quickly, "What? Why?" She snaps at me.

I jerk my head back, "Because I can." I spat at her rudely. She glared at Serene, "I'll come." She says, "Astoria, fuck off will you? Give me my space." I spat at her again. She looks at me belittled by my words. I storm away from her feeling the energy change by Serenes bubbly personality.

"I'm so proud of you Daphne." She says still hugging her. I watch Serene smile as she laughs. It made me feel warm on the inside. She then sees me, "Draco, how amazing was that?" She laughs as she comes up to me. I nod my head, "It was pretty cool to see Pansy getting humbled." I say.
"Oh, you're next." She teased me.

I went to say something back but James came around. My smile slowly faded as I watched him be around Serene. James then smiles at me, "Draco, how've been?" He says. My eyes are on him hard. He has his hand out waiting for me to shake it. I take it roughly and squeeze it hard, "I've been good." I quietly.

James looks down at our hands before taking his away from mine with a forced laugh, "You've got good grip." She shakes his hand. I laugh sarcastically, "Comes in handy." I smirk at him.

I look over his shoulder to Xavier, "Xav, let's have a smoke." I call after him. He looks up from Sophia and nods his head, "We'll come." Serene says quickly. I look at her and scoff, "No you won't." I say.
"Yes I will." She fights back.

I quirk an eyebrow at hee smirking slightly, and then I look at James. "Go get your girl Cross." I tell him. She narrows her eyes on me as she reaches into my pocket quickly snatching something from me.
"You'll have to get your lighter then." She says waving it around.

"Serene!" I yell at hee as I go to grab it but she's fast. She runs towards the court yard and I sprint after her. She's laughing as she stops, "Come get it." She chortles.
I lunge at her but she swiftly dodges me and laughs.
But she made one wrong move and I caught her as she's squealing kicking her legs trying to slip away. "Hand it here." I say. I'm puffed out and I'm grinning. She doesn't hand it to me, so I forced it out of her hands. Her hand on mine.

I grabbed the lighter and she lets out a breath, "You're slow." She yells at me as she walks over to where our group was. "I'm slow?" I yell back.
"That's what I said!" She laughs back.
"I was being easy on you," I scoff. "Right." She says sarcastically.

We walk back to the group tired and out of breath. "Got the lighter back?" Xavier asks. "It took him a while, he's slow." Serene laughs as she goes up to James.
"Don't listen to her, I was going easy on her." I snap back. Xavier laughs, "Whatever, hand it." He tells me.

We all light out cigarettes and have our session. Serenes ontop of James smoking as Sophia and Xavier are eating each others faces.
I look at Daphne, I blow the smoke out as I hand her the cigarette. She takes it hesitantly. "You've never smoked before huh?" I say.

She looks at me sheepishly, "Hardly. I'm not good at it." She says. "Just inhale, and exhale." I tell her. She looks at me before putting the cigarette inbetween her lips. She inhaled it and then blew the smoke out.

"Nice." I tell her. She smiles at me, "You're nicer when you're not being a dick." She tells me. I pressed my lips together before taking the cigarette back, "I was only a dick to you because you were a clone of Pansy. But you're actually bearable." I say.

She laughs. I turn my head and Serene is smiling at me before looking away. How long was she looking at me for? Why was she looking at me? I then stiffen as James whispered something into her ear. She giggled slightly as she stood up, "Were off. We'll see you guys later." She says, hand in hand with James. I watch them leave, I didn't realise it but my teeth were gritting.

"I've got to go too." I push myself off the ground as I walk away. I make my way to the room of requirements to tend to the cabinet I've been needed to finish, but it's just been impossible to fix. I flip on the dusty old couch as I just shut my eyes trying to forget her, but I can't.

I can't forget her hand in mine, her laugh. Her smell, she had the most beautiful scent ever. Vanilla and Lemon. It smelt like heaven and I just wished I could smell it everyday.

But she's probably James dorm fucking him. I mean, she's never wanted me and she never will. I should just give up on her. But I can't.
