Born to Make Mistakes, Not Fake Perfection ( Oliver Wood )

Chapter 5

The rest of the week passed as slow as ever.

I avoided Oliver as much as I could after the whole pebble incident. I'm sure he's planning my demise as we speak. Cassius kept trying to convince me to not go out with Cedric, even stooping as low as teaming up with my brother - who is a Gryffindor, might I add, to follow me around the school to make sure Cedric doesn't pop out and snog me. But, on the bright side I've devised atleast fourty new plays for the team to try and the boys are in shape.

"Jessica! Where were you? You have to meet Cedric at 11!" Daphne fussed, dragging me up to the girls dormitories

"I was working out.." I said, trying to free myself from her vise grip on my arms, "It's only 8."

I broke free and ran for the bathroom. Quickly showering, I strolled over to my closet.

Since it was a warm day, I decided on a coral colored high waisted skirt that came a few inches above my knee, over a ribbed white tank top with thick straps.

"Hmm.." Shoes or sandals? tough decisions, these are. A moment into chewing on my bottom lip in thought, my eyes landed on a pair of gladiator sandals with gold studs lining each strap.

I slid them on and strapped them up and finished off the look with a tan faux-leather purse and a gold ring with a coral colored gemstone that I placed on my right ring finger.

"Who knew the tomboy had a fashion sense?" Daphne smirked. *Scoff* Excuse me? I AM still a girl. It also helps that I had stylists over the past two years for interviews and such, but let's not give them all the credit.

Cue the sarcastic laugh, "Shut up!"

Taking my make up bag from my top drawer, I slipped into the bathroom.

After concealer, blush, eyeliner and mascara, I was pleased with myself.

"Can we ATLEAST do your hair?" Kara whined, "Pleasee?"

I nodded, rolling my eyes. They squealed in delight and pulled out all types of contraptions

Twenty minutes later, my long hair was in a loose fishtail braid that hung over my left shoulder.

A few pieces of wavy hair fell around my face where my bangs would usually be. I don't want to toot my own horn or anything, buut..

"Beautiful!" Daph smiled, holding out her arm. "Shall we?"

I placed some money and other necessities in my bag then linked arms with the girls.

"What time is it?" I asked as we basically skipped down the halls. Well, I had too! These girls were tall! Both were atleast four or five inches inches taller than me.

"You're early, don't worry." Kara giggled

Uhh, I wasn't asking because of him..

"I'm hungry!" I whined, pulling the pair toward the Great Hall.

It would be just my luck that Cassius and my brother were seated on either side of Cedric at the Hufflepuff table, huh?

"I'll be right back." I groaned, stalking over to the guys and slapping the culprits on the back of their necks

"Leave." I growled, earning a grateful look from Cedric

"Sister,-" Stevie started, but Cass cut him off.

"We were just talking. Giving him a little pre-date advice."

I glared at the two smirking idiots and squeezed in between Cassius and my date.

I pulled Cass's plate infront of me and piled it with sausages and waffles.

"You know we have to leave in less than ten minutes?" Cedric raised a brow, sipping from his goblet.
