Collision Course

Chapter Twenty one

I sat back into the couch in the Slytherin common room. With my new knowledge, I looked at everything, and everyone differently. I *hint hint* may *hint hint* have been nice(r) to the Gryffindors that had slammed me against a wall in Diagon Alley.

It had been a long day, that led into a long week. And that week had turned into a long month. I rested my head, and felt a wave of drowsy-ness come over me. Maybe it was time to go to sleep.

I stood up, dusted off my pants, and slowly walked to my dorm room. Sitting down on my bed, I stared at the wall. What a month.

Wow, that sounded so cheesy.

But it was true. So much had happened.

I had even forgotten about that Nico kid. It felt like so long ago since he had dropped us off at the castle. The castle from my dreams. It was as beautiful in person as it had been in my sleep.

Mr. Brunner has been a good teacher, and I have learned good a number of potions. And Astoria's classes were also too. I have been able to run even faster through the course, quickly shaving the time down to a minute and thirty seconds, and I have excelled in the fencing, wrestling, and weight lifting. But I've already gave you teacher reviews.

I have been starting to feel so refreshed in the morning, after dreamless nights. The dreams have disappeared, or at least vanished into the back of my mind in the morning, leaving the night to feel more relaxing. It truly felt amazing.

Well, that has been true so far. I loved not having nightmares plaguing my subconscious, and restless thoughts over power my dreams.

I felt a vibration from my pocket, and pulled out my phone.

I had gotten a text from Cole. Huh. I kinda forgot about texting him. At least he didn't forget about texting me.

C: TIRA, I NEED ADVICE - HELP !

I frowned. He never normally asked for advice. And definitely not from me. I was only good- surprisingly- at clothing and love advice, nothing he'd want help with- I had thought. Yeah, I thought wrong, and that is possible. Hopefully I could help, I had thought in my head.

T: what's wrong?

C: MAX IS BACK! X.X

I gulped. And laughed. At the same time. It was really weird. And the weird thing kind of hurt my throat.

T: And that's a problem?

C: ya! I don't- no, I do- ... I still like her.

T: you do! That's so sweet. Tell her!

C: she has a boy friend.

T: at least let her know.

C: she has a big boyfriend.

I laughed out loud.

T: scaredy cat.

C: YES! The kid is six' eight", and I can see the six (maybe eight) pack from outside his sweatshirt. And his eyes are really menacing. Ur unnaturally good with love advice- HELP!

I laughed. Poor Cole.

T: uh... Stay away for now?

C: I CAN'T STAY AWAY!

T: y?

C: cuz she's kinda.... Living in my guest room. With her like... entraouge.

T: entraouge? I think you spelt that wrong... Badly. And what did you mean by that?

C: she's staying at my house with her boyfriend, a red head, a really pretty African American, and two little kids- one looking about nine, and the other seven.
