I did my best to stay away from Ominis as much as I could. It was difficult, but I kept myself distracted with friends. I had not talked to Ominis much at all. He was never one to chase, though. If we argued, he wouldn't owl me over and over like others I had been with before.
Not that Ominis and I had ever been something to consider 'having been with' at all. We were nothing. He made that very clear many times. Perhaps my loyalty was becoming a fault, a reason I was a Hufflepuff. Staying away from him was harder than I needed it to be. Everything reminded me of him.
I was walking through the gardens one afternoon, appreciating the flowers around the area, when I heard a voice call out to me. I turned around, saw the familiar locks of red curls, and smiled.
"Garreth. Surprised to see you out here." I teased as he walked closer. His hands were tucked into his pants pocket. He smiled, nodding his head.
"Herbology assignment but I must admit I'm wasting time. I guess I'm procrastinating heading to my next class." He said as he caught up to me. We started to talk together, side-by-side, as the warmth of the sun beamed on us.
"And why is that?" I asked, curious as to why he would not want to go to class. He shrugged his shoulders while his eyes looked down at his feet as we walked together. I could see a difference in him. He seemed more subdued than usual.
"Nellie is in the next class. And I'm not entirely sure I'm ready to see her just yet." He said with a soft tone. His voice went up at the end of the sentence but it wasn't out of amusement. It was a disguise to hide the true pain.
Garreth and Nellie had broken up recently. Being back at school meant being around her more and remembering that heartache. It was something I knew all too well. I reached over, gently rubbing my hand up and down Garreth's arm.
"I can imagine how difficult that must be," I said in a reassuring tone. I couldn't tell him that I knew exactly how difficult it was. I couldn't tell him that I knew that pain. I couldn't tell him how every fiber of my being felt engulfed in flames by just being in the same room as Ominis. I just had to be quiet and act as if my life was perfectly fine.
"I'm not necessarily still hung up on her. It's just difficult, seeing her. It's a bit hard to explain." Garreth said lightly as the leaves crunched under our shoes. I looked around the gardens, my eyes wandering to each new plant we passed.
