A Troublesome Pair

A date...?!

    I look at the note again and again. Still wondering how he can still be so cheerful even after I was a jerk to him. I read it a final time before getting up to go to lunch:
       I know you told me to give you some space but that is something I cannot do. If you change your mind meet me by Myrtles bathroom again after dinner. I hope you'll show up, I hope I can make it worth your while.        -F.W.

     I get a feeling that I'll regret doing whatever I pick, but I guess I still better pick wisely.
Why are boys so...so...complicated?! Ugh.
"So are you gonna go?" (Y/n) asks. I forgot she was still here to be honest. "Oh um, I don't know. I might regret going if I do."
" Oh come on, it would be fun. It kinda like he's asking you out on a date!"
"A date..?!"
" Ah no! It's not bad. Chill out, it'll be fun. I think you should go." I so strongly want to agree with her right now. But I don't know what I should do! "I can see you are having a civil war with yourself right now, so I'll leave you to your thoughts. But if it were me, I would go." She said.
   I wave her bye and she's gone. She's probably right. It may just be fun. Ugh, what am I saying? Why am I doing this? Dang, I might as well just go jump out the window now. Less to worry about. So with the result of all that mental fighting I've decided just to go...

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

     "You're here!" He half shouts. I can tell he's excited. "Yeah, I am. Decided to come see what you wanted to talk about."
"Okay, great! Are you okay with going outside again?"
"Yeah I guess. But is your brother okay with you coming with me instead of him tonight?"
He nods his head yeah,"Oh yeah. He's got something else in mind he's doing." He seemed like he was laughing while he said that. It only made me wonder more what he was doing.
     "What is is that he's doing,"
"Oh you'll find out later, I know you will." This made me nervous. "I swear if he's setting up a prank for me later I'll-"
"Cut off his hands? Haha don't worry that's not what he's doing." I feel slightly better now
     "Okay, let's go I had something fun in mind that we could do." He holds out his arm for me to take so I link it with mine.  We start to walk outside again but this time not to the forest. Thank goodness. I think to myself. Instead we go farther. Down by the entrance. "Um...were not leaving the school are we..?" I ask a bit scared."Oh yeah! I'm kidnapping you, hope you said your goodbyes early!" He jokes.
      "No that's not what I meant," I smile back,"I am just confused to why we are getting so close to the front entrance."
"Now if you'd stop questioning me you'd see in a minute."  I shut my mouth and keep walking.
It's an awkward silence now. He's probably laughing at me on the inside seeing how long he can keep it up till I scream.
    He pulls his arm from mine and runs over to a rock. I can't see him anymore so I jog over.
"Alright, get in!" I see him motioning to a boat on the ground next to the water? "You brought me out here to put me in a boat?!" I try to scream it but my voice cracks.
     "Yeah, get in." He says still pointing to the small boat.
"Uhm...I should have told you about this before, but I am terribly scared of open water like this."
"Why is that?"
"Sharks or shark-like fish or squids or something!" I explain.
"Haha, well for your information, there are no sharks or squids in there waters. So you'll be perfectly fine. I'll make sure of it."
    After he says that I feel a little bit better. I'll do it for him. Yeah, for him. Gosh I hate myself sometimes...I'm such a push over...
    I get inside the boat and sit down as he starts to push off a little bit. "No sharks?" I say. "No sharks." He repeats as he gets in himself and starts rowing. "Just some mermaids that could kill you if they got angry enough."
"WHAT?!"
"I am kidding! They barely ever come up any higher than the bottom. Nothing will hurt you."
"Fred that's not funny!" I say punching him in the arm. "You better pray nothing will hurt you." I add. He just laughs.
     I sit there tense scared of falling in. I hold my arms in my lap trying not to show how scared I am. There better not be any crabs ready to sing a song to influence any "kissing" ugh. I can't believe I actually got in the boat.
     
~Fred's POV~
    She tries to hold in how scared she is. I find it cute that she thinks she has to hold in all her fears. But she is really bad at it. I can tell she's freaking out inside. But that doesn't keep me from wanting to mess around a bit...

~your POV~

       "Hey ( y/n), I think I see something in the water right there! Look!" I turn to look at where's he pointing,"Should I be scared? Will it hurt us?"
"Nah, it just looks a little bit like a-" he leans over the water so far he falls in. "Fred!!" I scream. I don't know what to do, i can't jump in after him! Can he swim?! Oh this is my fault! If I hadn't gotten into the boat this wouldn't have happened! How do I explain to his family?! How do I explain to George?! "Fred!" Please don't be dead, please please please don't be dead...it's been almost a minute. I begin to tear up, but I don't know why.

~Fred's POV~

    I can just barely make out (y/n) screaming out of the water. I'm holding onto the bottom of the boat so she won't see me. But I can't hold my breath for much longer, I have to get out now.
     I gasp for air as I reach the surface, choking on some water I inhaled. "Fred! Oh my gosh! Here grab my hand!" She said extending her arm to me. I grab it and she helps pull me back into the boat. I lean back onto the back of the boat for a while.
     I open my eyes to see (y/n) wiping away tears from her face. She obviously didn't want me to see. "Are you okay?!" She practically screamed at me.
" Better now, seeing that you care." I laugh.
"You dirty little-! That all was a prank?! Are you kidding me?! I thought you were dead! I didn't know what to do!" She rambles on and on but I don't hear a word she's saying.
      She continues to yell at me beginning to tear up again. "-you can't do that to me! You scared me..." she finally ended. She started wiping tears again with her sleeve. I couldn't contain myself anymore, I lean in lifting her face to mine and kiss her right then and there. 
      I pull away slightly just so I can see her face. "You are dripping all over me, you're getting me all wet..." is all she says, we both laugh. Then head back for shore.

~your POV~
 
     I hang up my wet clothes for them to dry after I wash them. Exhausted, I plop down onto my bed. I'm too tired to read so I just lay there staring at the ceiling.
    (Y/f) enters the room, but she's not quite like herself. She has cat ears and a tail. "Um, (y/n) why do you have-"
"I have been asked that so many times in the past hour! It was George, he thought it'd be funny to prank me by making me half cat.  This guy isn't being fair!" I laugh at what she just said. Classic Weasley twin, always ready to pull a prank.
    "Well what about you! You're smiling like a crazed elf!" She sneers.
"I am? Oh I didn't notice. I just am a good mood." I reply. She shakes her head smiling,"Told you you'd have fun." After that she leaves and goes back to the common room. Probably to ask (popular male you know) if he made the quidditch team.
     As for me, I remain on my bed. Reliving the past few hours in my head. "This is definitely going to be an interesting year." I say to myself, afterwards falling fast asleep.
