***

We were both standing behind the Quidditch pitch. I had asked Tristan to meet me there after Quidditch practice. Why? Cause I was going to confess. I've been having a crush on him for a few months. And today was the day I was going to let it all out and tell him how I feel.

All right now ,don't panic Emmie, you can do this.

"So, why did you tell me to come here?" Tristan asked me.

"I-I just wanted to tell you something. Something important."

"Well then, spit it out. The next class is going to start soon you know."

Okay Emmie, take a deep breath and...

"Tristan, I like you, a lot, will you go out with me?"

Tristan gaped at me. Something incomprehensive in his eyes. However, in a fraction of a second, that was replaced with something cold and dark.

"Go out with you?", he scoffed. "I'd rather go out with a pig than you, at least a pig would look prettier. You know, I might've actually gone out with you if you weren't so boring and old-schooled. Just look at you, your bad sense of dressing and everything. The day I go out with you is the day Grindelwald is back."

He spun around and started walking towards the castle. Leaving me there, alone. And that's when the tears started to fall.

I sat up suddenly to find myself in my bed. I put my face in my hands. I've been thinking about Tristan for days now. That rejection was even in my dreams now. Why can't I get that thing out of my head?! I need to move on. no, I have to. Yeah... there are plenty of guys out there.

*Alarm rings*

I almost jump out of my skin. It's 6:00. I should get ready. I look at Lily sleeping happily holding her pillow to her tummy. God, I envy her at times, being able to sleep so peacefully. I nudged her.

"Come on Lily! Wake up! It's time to go!"

"Five more minutes...", She mumbles.

"Arrgh!! Lily wake up now!!" I catch hold of her feet and yank her off the bed. Unfortunately, she hit her head on the floor, leaving a big bruise on her head.

"Ow! What the hell Em?!"

"That is the consequence for not waking up." I said with a big smile. Yeah, I won't let her know about my heartache. ill make sure she doesn't know.

"Now come on sleepyhead, get up."

LILY'S POV

Hmm...

Something's wrong with Emmie. She's acting way too cheerful for my liking.(Plus she gave me this super big bruise today morning.) Its way too irrational for her to be this happy, and she's the most rational person I know.

This is weird, very weird indeed.

I'll have to ask her about this.

EMMIE'S POV

(In Transfiguration)

Lily has a look on her face like she's thinking about something.

Uh-Oh.

Did she find out? Was I acting too happy? Crap, she's so going to ask me about it. She's so going to throw a note at me now.

Yeah, any second now.
