Friends?

Y/n's POV:

Once again, I feel the bench I were sitting on depress as I settled in to class. I looked over to see Oliver sit next to me. He slides an arm about my shoulder and he catches me looking at him. He starts writing furiously on a piece of parchment paper and then slides it over to me. It reads: Would you like to learn to fly?

I look over at him and see him giving me a hopeful face. I smile and write back: Yes, I would love to. Can I bring Elizabeth too? I slide it over to him and he nods after reading it. He writes something and hands it to me one last time. I read it: Meet me at the field after class. I nod and stuff the note into my robe pocket. Apparently, Oliver and I had the same study hall for two hours allowing me to learn.

Oliver's POV:

I couldn't believe she wanted to fly. I was so excited. I practically flew to the field and got out two Cleansweeps. Y/n came bounding down with Elizabeth. Elizabeth pulls me aside.

"Ya know captain Y/n is afraid of heights so, I'm warning you not to pressure her into this," Elizabeth says. "You needn't be upset if at few inches she doesn't want to continue."

"Thank you for letting me know. I'll be careful with her. Do not worry about me and her. Just be here for Y/n's moral support," I respond. I walk back to Y/n to see her gingerly clamber on to a broom. I mount mine and kick off.

Y/n's POV:

I watch how Oliver kicks off the ground. 'He pushes against the ground like a gazelle. So graceful. I think it's cu-oh my gosh. I can't think like this!' I shake my head to clear my thoughts. I was so lost in my thoughts that I realized I was hundreds of feet off the ground. I grip the broom handle and pray to the gods that I wouldn't fall off. I feel an arm wrap around my shoulders as I see Oliver flying next to me.

"You're doing great, Y/n!" Oliver says excitedly. "Soon enough you'll make the team!" I gulped and quickly shake my head.

"I can't take that role from Elizabeth!" I exclaim

Oliver's POV:

"You're doing great, Y/n!" I say excitedly. "Soon enough you'll make the team!" Y/n gulped. She quickly shook her head.

"I can't take that role from Elizabeth!" She exclaims. 'Why did I say that! Uh I'm horrible!' I thought to myself.

"It's fine! I just got way too excited. I know it is your first time and I know you're afraid of heights and-" I ramble on.

"Who told you that?" Y/n growled.

"Told you what?" I ask.

"I'm fearful of heights?" Y/n says looking scared. I direct both the brooms to the ground and gently land them. She quickly scrambles off the broom and clings my arm. Elizabeth come running up and tries to pry Y/n off my arm.

"Y/n! Are you ok?" Elizabeth asks.

"You told him, didn't you?" Y/n snaps.

"Told him what?" Elizabeth asks.

"My fear of heights. You told him, didn't you?" Y/n asked.

"Yes, I did," Elizabeth looks down. "I only wanted you to be safe. I know, you hate me now."

"I didn't know you cared that much," Y/n said still clinging to me.

"Could you please, uh I don't know, give me some room here?" I asked gingerly. My arm was beginning to loose feeling. Y/n quickly lets go and turns to Elizabeth.

"After all this anger, friends?" Y/n asks.

"Always!" Elizabeth smiled.
