The Challenge

Chapter 24

-Skipping to Christmas break-

   "Sapphire, come on. We leave in an hour!" Val threw a pillow at me.

   "It's too much work!" I groan and roll off my bed, onto the floor.

   "Sapphire, get off your lazy ass."

   "You just want to snog Fred." I roll onto my back and looked at her.

   "Do not."

   "Sure you don't." I sit up, "go on. Go snog him while you're still at Hogwarts, where there's no parents."

   Val shoots me a look, "piss off."

   I smile at her, "I love you."

   "What ever." Val rolls her eyes.

   Once we finish packing our things, we go to where the carriages are to meet up with Fred and Tom. Val is going with me to stay with the Weasley's, but for two weeks only. She has to stay with her family for a week, then she's going to the Weasley's, yay. This is going to be great. Why, you may ask. I can embarrass but Val and Fred in front of George and Angelina. They are going to hate me so much. But it's totally worth it.

   On the train, it was just the four of us. Tom is leaning on the the window and his legs up on the seat. I sit down between his legs and lean onto him. Fred and Val did the same thing, but on the opposite wall so that we were facing each other. They are so adorable together. 

   Tom nuzzles his face into my neck and whispers, "I want you."

   I roll my eyes, "piss off, Tom."

   "Just letting you know," Tom chuckles.

   "I want to go outside and play in the snow," Val says.

   "Why can't you stay with us for the whole break?" Fred whines.

   "Because I have to, my parents want me to stay for a while. Then, I'll go." Val says as she intertwines her hands with Fred's.

   "Why can't you stay with me, Sapphire?" Tom asks.

   "I told you, I promised Fred and Rox that I'll spend the holiday with them." I say to Tom. "And, I already said that I'll come over on Christmas."

   Tom starts whining, "that's not long enough."

   "Okay fine, when Fred and Val goes out on a date. I'll come over."

   Tom perks up, "Fred, Valerie, go on a date everyday."

   Fred rolls his eyes, "oh we will."

   Val looks at me, "yeah?"

   I nod in agreement, "defiantly."

   "I don't want to," Val continues.

   I scrunch my face up, "me neither. They're so annoying."

   "Right. At least we don't match." 

   I groan, "I hate when people do that! Like seriously, why."

   "Don't they know that they look like idiots?"

   "No, 'cause they are 'sooo much in love' to care." I mock. 

   "What the hell are you guys talking about?" Fred asks.

   "You're complicated girl language is annoying," says Tom.

   "We were saying that its kinda weird that we're all friends and dating." I tell them, "and couples who match are stupid." Well, I know Fred doesn't like Tom. But he's not showing it when Tom's around, usually he's distracted by his little girlfriend.
