A Troublesome Pair

Saturday

~your POV~

Ugh...only one more day before classes start. I know we had a whole week to do what ever we wanted and have fun with friends. But ever since Tuesday night I've kept to myself and stayed in the dormitory most the time. After I kissed Fred that night I don't want to go outside. He's probably told everyone by now.
The last thing I want is for everyone pestering me about it. I wasn't thinking it was a mistake. I'd take it bake if I could. But, would I? Yes-no-maybe? I don't know...
The only times I leave Ravenclaw boundaries are to eat meals, go to the library, and to visit some of my friends from other houses. I keep a close watch out for Fred though. I can't imagine the awkwardness of seeing him after avoiding him for so long. So far I've been lucky, I haven't seen him yet.
"(Y/n) do you wanna come with me to the owl tower place thing? I have a letter to send."
I look up from my book,"To whom? We haven't even been gone a full week. I'm sure your parents don't miss you that badly."
"No silly! It's not to my parents. It's to my cousin that lives in America. She wants to know how school is going." She jumps up and down as she says it.
" Oh alrighty then, let's go. But I don't want to take too long. I'm at a really good part in this book." I say. "Okay! I'll go grab my shoes!"
"You ask me to go with you and you're not even ready yourself?!" I face palm. That girl is a whirlwind.
~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~
"Can we hurry please? The wind is starting to pick up." I say as my friend gives her letter to her owl.
" Oh never you mind! I'll take as long as I want to!" She turns back around and starts talking to the owl. I just snicker at how much she loves that thing. She's going to marry that owl.
"Alright, but I'm going to go down stairs where the wind isn't as bad."
"Okay, I'll meet you down there." She confirms.
I run down the stairs, my feet making tap noises as I run down the the steps. I keep a good pace till I feel myself slam into a body knocking me on my bottom.
"We have got to stop meeting like this!" I hear Fred's voice as he laughs. I look up to see him holding out his hand. I don't take it I just stand. "Ohoho! No physical contact for you mate!" George laughs at his twin. I see Fred's face drop,"Hey George, why don't you go up there without me, I'll catch up." George gives him a mischievous grin, "Oh, okay..." we hear him laugh as he runs up the stairs.
"What did you tell him?"
"Are you avoiding me?"
"I asked you first!"
"Nothing! All I told him is that I might like you, that's all..."
"Did you tell him about the kiss...?"
"You call that a kiss? More like an enjoyable torture considering you have been avoiding me since it happened!" He looked hurt as he said that. I now regret doing that to him.
I try to answer but no words come out of my mouth.
"Was that your plan? To kiss me and leave me hopeful then avoid me hoping I move on?"
"No! That's not what I was doing at all...I was scared you told people about well...the kiss. So I was too scared to face you. As for the thought of you and me, I don't know what I want. I'm scared that I'll end up doing something stupid and it'll ruin everything."
"But I will be there for when things go wrong. If you'll just give me a chance."
"What I am saying is, I am not scared of hurting myself...I'm scared of hurting you as well. So for now, just give me some space...please."
He looks like someone just smacked him, "Oh, alright. Yeah sure...space. Sounds good, yeah no problem!"
"Okay, thanks. See you."
~Fred's POV~
"Bye..." I say as I wave bye. I don't know what to do. I feel empty. Broken...wait. I have an idea. I hear footsteps coming down. I can only imagine that it is (y/f). My first thought is to pull out a piece of paper and scribble a note on it. I fold the note and keep it in my hand.
I see (y/f) coming down and I bump into her. Slipping the note in her jacket pocket.
"Oh! Sorry, I really need to stop bumping into people or that will be part of my unforgettable reputation!" I laugh
"Oh it's quite alright. I didn't see you so let's just call it equal." She says back. Then runs off.
I myself walk up to the tower to find George.
"So, what did the lady have to say..?" He questions while giving me an uncomfortably sly look. "Nothing much. She just wants some space. What did the other one say to you?"
"Nothing much, took one look at me and muttered something under her breath, sounded a bit like Gary, but I think I heard wrong."
I gave a short chuckle,"Alright then. Hey did you send the letter to Ron?" I ask. We are prank owling him. That's why we are using a random owl. I can't wait to see his face when he gets that letter.
" yeah I did."
"Okay then I guess we can go."
We leave then and go back to the common room. Lunch will be served soon but why wait around? We have some prank planning to do. I laugh on the outside. But inside I am scared to how things with (y/n) are going to play out...

~your POV~

"Going today was a mistake!" I whine to (y/f) as she enters the room.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have made you go."
"No it's okay, I needed the air. I just am a little upset I needed space! I'm so confused with myself. I like him, but I don't want to. But at the same time I do! But I don't really want him to leave me alone! Do you know what I'm saying?"
She glances at me and shakes her head, smiling slightly,"Oh (y/n), obviously you're just nervous. Just give him a chance it'll be fine."
"Easier said than done. I just told him to leave me alone."
She takes off her jacket and sets it on the bed thinking for a solution. When a small piece of paper falls out from the right pocket.
She opens it and reads it,"Maybe...there's another way." She grins handing me the note.
I suddenly am filled with happiness and delight after I read it. Hopefully this time I won't mess things up.
