“Time to tell me the truth, to burden your mouth for what you say, no pieces of paper in the way. Cause I can’t continue pretending to choose, these opposite sides on which we fall, the loving you laters if at all. No right minds could wrong be this many times...”

 

oOo

“So, when do you plan on telling me the truth?” Hermione asked while pretending to read her book.

Draco stopped his pacing and turned to face her; “Tell you what?” he asked.

Hermione raised her eyes from the pages and stared at the man standing right in front of her; “Do you want me to spell it out?” she asked bitterly.

Draco frowned and moved towards the table; he pulled the chair out and sat. “Spell out what? Spit it out Granger, I don’t like your riddles” he replied snidely.

Hermione closed her book with a loud snap and placed her clasped hands on top; “When do you plan on telling me that you’re shagging her on the side?” she asked bluntly.

Draco’s eyes widen but kept his composure; he sat straighter and arranged his expression. “I don’t know what you’re talking about” he deadpanned.

Hermione laughed sarcastically and pretended to think; “It’s curious you know?” she said.

Draco raised his pale brow and studied her face; “What’s curious?” he asked.

“It’s curious that you deny shagging her when I clearly saw you last night. It’s even more curious that you can look at me like that and lie to my face” Hermione said stonily.

Draco averted his eyes and huffed.

Hermione kept her gaze firm and her voice composed; “What do you take me for Draco? A fool? There you are sitting right in front of me, mocking me because I fail to choose between you and my friends and yet last night you were out shagging someone else’s brains out, isn’t it a little hypocrite of you ey?” she said.

Draco kept silent.

Hermione smiled bitterly and shook her head; she hastily stood up and began gathering her things.

“Where are you going?” Draco asked.

Hermione blatantly ignored him and zipped her satchel close; she moved away from the table and turned her back on him.

Draco stood up and leaned towards the table; effectively grabbing her arm.

Hermione stood still but didn’t turn around.

“Hermione...” Draco said.

“I’m tired of playing blind and stupid Draco, I’ve swallowed my pride to the point that there’s nothing left. I ignored the infidelity jabs that I’m getting from other people because I love you, but there’s only so much that I can take. Please let me pick up my brain from the trash I threw it in when I fell for you” Hermione said slowly; she then shrugged her arm free from his hold and walked away.
