We enter the classroom, McGonagall walks over and asks us why we are late. "Care to explain yourselves, youngladies?" She says in a kind but stern tone. I hold Beatrice's shoulder. "Can we explain after class? It's private." I suggest, luckily McGonagall nods and tells us to sit down. In class I see Theodore looking at me with curious eyes. I smile at him with a small frown, he waits until McGonagall isn't looking and throws me a paper. I catch it with one hand and wait for McGonagall to be gone to open it.

I open the paper;

Made up with Tris I see, how come?

P. S. What about mattheo?

I chuckle and write at the back of the paper. "I did, I was over exaggerating. Plus who cares about Matt? Hes a moron anyway :')"

I crumble the paper and throw it hard, it hits his head and i cover my mouth with my hand. He chuckles and picks up the paper from the floor. I can see his necklace dangling while he is bending over to grab it. He opens the paper and smiles. "He is." He chuckles to me. I smile and chuckle.

When class ended I started gathering my books along with Tris, when Theodore, Mattheo, Lorenzo and Draco walked over. I roll my eyes, and look at Mattheo with annoyed eyes. "What." I say annoyed. "How's your friend?" He says. "Watch it." Tris says angrily. I can see that Mattheo was taken aback by that, hes not used to people talking back at him.

"What are you gonna do? Turn me into a butterly?" He says laughing, the rest of them laughing aswell. "I'll do worse." Tris says with a bitter tone in her voice. "Ladies? A word?" McGonagall says kindly. "Bye boys." I say sarcastically. Tris and I approach McGonagall and the boys walk away casually.

"So, why were you late?" McGonagall asks. We were still a bit distracted by the group of boys but quickly got our focus back. "Oh right, so for me I was at dumbledore's office and he asked me to apologise to Beatrice. I did, but when I found her.." I look over a Tris. "I was crying in the bathroom, but it's solved now. That was the reason we were late though." Tris continued.

McGonagall thinks for a second or two, and then responds. "Fair enough, you're dismissed." She says as she dismisses us. "Thank you professor." Tris says and I nod in agreement. We grab our bags and leave the classroom.

"Let's meet up with the rest in the courtyard, hm?" Tris suggests. I am looking around the halls, distracted as usual. "Bells? Hello?" She nudges me. "Hm, what?" I say, now back to reality. "Lets go to the courtyard. I nod and follow her.

When we arrive at the courtyard, we greet Pansy, Venessa, and Blaise. As distracted as I usually am, I spot Theodore, Mattheo, Draco and Lorenzo. My eyes gaze at Theodore, for what feels like an eternity. I suddenly notice him moving, I was still staring at him until I noticed he was moving towards.. me. "Shit." I thought to myself.

I look away and try to avoid him actually approaching me. He taps on my shoulder. "Fuck me..." I turn around and look him in the eyes. He says in a low, almost whispering tone. "If you keep undressing me with your eyes, I'm gonna catch a cold." I look at him with a stoic face, trying to hide my blush of embarrassment. "I wasn't looking at you, and I certainly wasn't undressing you!" I say offended. I look behind me and I see my friends walking away and laughing.

"Looks like your friends left you here all alone." He says. "So what?" I say annoyed, trying to get rid of him. I see Mattheo looking at us suspiciously from afar. "Matt is looking." I say. "So what?" He mocks me. I put my hand on his chest and softly push him backwards. "How about you go acompany him." He looks at me with this certain look in his eyes, that literally scream "I have an idea." He then speaks. "How about we acompany him?" He grabs my shoulder, and takes me with him.

I roll my eyes as I put myself to halt once we arrive at the group of boys. "Hello, sis." Mattheo says, you can see that hes bothered by something. "What's bothering you?" I ask him politely. I feel Theodore's hand shifting over to my waist, making a shiver go up my spine. "How come ur friends with Beatrice again, so suddenly?" He asks, his eyes looking at theodore's hand, than at Theodore, Than at me. "Dumbledore made me apologise, and I don't know what came over me honestly."

Mattheo chuckles. "Really? So I was mean to her for nothing?" He says. "Wait you were mean to her for me?" I say suprised. "Mhm." He mumbles admittingly. I laugh. "Awhh, so you do care about me!" I tease him. "Don't make me change my mind." He says already annoyed. "Okay, Okay, fine." I feel Theodore's hand tighten around my waist, again sending a shiver up my spine.

"I've gotta go." I say quickly. "To where?" Theodore asks. "Uhm- Common room." I come up with an excuse as quickly as possible. "Then im coming with you." He says. "Sure, whatever." I mumble.

We walk to the common room. "I saw you freeze when I put my hand around your waist, why? I've done it before and you never minded it." I freeze again at him calling me out like that. "I don't know what you're talking about." I say while opening the common room door. "I think you do." He puts his arm in front of the door to stop me from walking away.

"Theres nothing different between us." I say, he steps closer and looks down at me. "Are you sure? Because you're blushing right now." I push his arm away and walk away. "I guess I have my answer." He says. I just walk to my dorm and lock the door. "Merlin's! How am I seriously falling for this- Moron!" I say annoyed.

I put my bag on my bed and let myself fall down next to the bag. I didn't realise it but apparently I was so tired, I fell asleep.
