The Dark Souls •H.S•

•- S.E.V.E.N.T.E.E.N -•

It's been a week since I started practicing and stealing secret glances of Harry whenever he wasn't noticing. Even staring at his fingers made me feel at peace. Sometimes I wonder if I am being creepy or just observant. The thought itself sometimes makes me chuckle.

"What are you smiling at?" I heard Meg address me while the boys just poke me at my sides, my laughter echoing in the almost empty hallway as I struggle to balance my feet before I tumble on the floor.

"Nothing, y'all don't worry about it." I said still smiling.

"Well, something has to be the matter." Joe smirks and I hit him on his shoulder in reply.

"Wait a minute!" Ryan shouted, making us stop and looking at him with a wild expression.

"You are not in..." He stops mid-sentence as I became frustrated waiting for him to complete,

"I am not in what? Complete fast you tortoise!" I said and smacked the back of his head, while he just rubs and pouts at me.

"You are not in love, are you?" the question made my heart sink like how the titanic did. I turn my head to him in slow mo with my wide eyes.

"What-" I gulp hard before completing the question, "What did you say?" I ask him.

"Emily, are you in love? Are you dating someone? Or do you have a crush on someone?" weird questions like these came out from my best friends' mouths.

"What- No! Obviously not! That's just so absurd of you all!" I say and scoff at the end of the sentence. I immediately started walking in the almost empty hallway, leaving them behind.

"Then why were you smiling?" Meg asks, I turn back to respond as the three of them are already looking at me intently with their suspicious look.

"Smiling? Me? How was I smiling?" I ask,

"Like this." She imitates my smile and I start laughing,

"Pfft no, I don't smile like that!" I exclaimed,

"You did!" the three of them shouted at the same time making me step back a little.

"C'mon, I can't even smile at a memory?" I say sadly,

"Memory? What kind of memory?" Ryan asks,

"I was remembering a joke you said!" I exclaimed in frustration.

"What was the joke?" Joe then asks, eyeing me suspiciously.

"Oh my God, you people are being ridiculous right now. I swear I don't love anyone. I don't even think of the word LOVE." I say and immediately they release a sigh of relief. I then look at them with a glare.

"Even if I did, what would've been the problem?" I ask them with a glare. The three of them share a look and then smile wickedly.

"Because we are the singles club!" They screamed all together while I cover my ears.

"You guys are such kids!" I shouted back while they just laugh making me smile at the sight.

It's also been a week since the dream I saw the last time except for my name ringing in my ears at random times. The last dream still sends chills in my spine. Call me paranoid or not, I always check on my mum after each class, to make sure she is fine.

"Wait, you asking this question means you are seeing someone?" Meg asked out of blue.

The four of us exchange looks and then they started bombarding me with questions. I literally covered my ears and ran away from them. I look back to see if they were catching up to me, but surprisingly I lost them. So I just stop and take in deep breaths before taking out my water bottle from my back. I proceed walking with my chest high, the feeling of proudness starts shining inside me. Suddenly, I heard footsteps hurrying, I turn to look at the street on the right and see the three of them running towards. I groan in frustration and started running again.
