Addicted - Mattheo Riddle

Chapter 13-Scarlett

My heart is pounding against my chest as I force myself to feign nonchalance and not to sprint into my dorm. I take a shaky breath and walk round a corner, then as soon as I'm out of his view I burst into a run.
My feet slap the floor and my lungs ache as I hurriedly shove open the door and breathe a sigh of relief when I see the room is empty.
Fuck, I'm so stupid. The only reason I managed to land a decent kick to him was because I managed to suprise him. Next time he'll be ready.

I pace around the room, and glance over at the window. Somehow it's already dark out but where's Pansy? I shake my head and walk over to my bed, the beginning of a headache already forming. I just need some rest and I'll be fine by the morning. Maybe I can talk to Harry about Mattheo and what I can do to get him off my back.

I lie in bed staring at the ceiling in silence as my mind recalls today's events. Why was Tom so suspicious? Why does Mattheo seem to hate me? I turn on my side and a small sigh escapes my lips. For some reason I thought I'd fit right in to this school. But it's just another stupid hierarchy of popular assholes and rich idiots.

I shift about in bed, struggling to fall asleep when I hear the door creak open and light spills into the dorm. I sit up, wincing at the harsh light.

"Pansy?" I whisper.

A figure creeps into the room slowly, as if trying to be quiet. At the sound of my voice, the shadow stops abruptly and turns towards me.

"Uhm no it is not Pansy, you are dreaming." A familiar voice rings out and I reach out to turn on the lights.

As the subtle glow fills the room I see Pansy standing in an awkward position in the middle of the room, looking like a criminal being caught.

"Pansy you scared the living shit out of me! And what the hell is this 'you are dreaming' crap?"

I stare, my eyes narrowing as I take in her ruffled appearance. Her short black hair is unruly and wild, her cheeks flushed and a grin on her face. A slow smile spreads across my face as I scramble out of bed.

"Pansy what have you been doing! Or- WHO have you been doing?!" I shriek, shaking her shoulders as she laughs lightly, covering her face with her hands.

"NOBODY! I HAVENT BEEN DOING ANYBODY!"

Pansy bites her lip and lies down on her bed, a big smile plastered on her face. I jump down next to her and point at her.

"I'm not leaving you alone Pans until you tell me who's made you so happy!"

She rolls onto her front and cups her face in her hands.

"Ok! Ok! Fine, clearly I'm not going to get any sleep if I don't tell you," she says, rolling her eyes playfully.

She hums quietly before speaking up, happiness evident in her voice, "I was with Astoria- Scarlett she's amazing! She's beautiful, she's kind, she has these eyes that just- makes me want to look into them forever."

My grin softens into a smile as I tilt my head, examining her. She looks at me, trying to hide her laughter by glaring at me. "Now can I go to sleep?"

I bite my tongue and scowl at her before grabbing a pillow and whacking her, as she laughs. "I can't believe you didn't tell me earlier!" I say emphasising each word with a hit. She bursts into giggles, rolling around on the bed before reaching for a pillow and smacks me with it, as we fall into fits of laughter.

Finally we lie next to each other our breathing heavy and eyelids drooping.

"You know I'm really happy for you Pans," I say  quietly, staring at the ceiling.

She stays silent for so long I start to think she had fallen asleep before she responds in a whisper, "You'll find your person too here. I'm sure of it."
