When You Were Mine | Falice

Jealous

2 days later and he still hasn't called and neither had she.

Both of them were too damn stubborn for their own good and both of them are waiting for the other to break first.

FP hardly even looked at her during English class and she returned the favour, listening intently to whatever the teacher was talking about and ignoring his existence entirely.

She knows it's going to take more than just ignoring him to get him to crack, she just needs to find the perfect way to get him to break.

"Has he called yet?" Hermione asks as they walk to the cafeteria.

"Not yet."

"I can try and talk to him if you want? I'm sure I can get him to call you." Mary suggests.

"Don't worry about it. He'll call, I know he will. We can't stay away from each other for long, it's just a matter of time until he caves." She turns and sees him down the hall, he turns at the same time and they lock eyes. She raises an eyebrow at him before turning back to Mary and Hermione. "Don't worry, we'll be good as new soon."

They make their way to the cafeteria and FP and Fred sit a take ahead of them, FP on the opposite side of the booth where Alice has a perfect view of him.

They aren't sitting long when Hal comes up to her.

"Hey Alice."

"Hal, hey." She can't stand Hal but she has a good feeling this might actually get FP's attention, and she's right. She catches FP's glance and grins to herself, knowing he's watching her every move.

"I heard about you and that Jones kid. I'm sorry."

"Don't be. We're just taking a break."

"A break?"

"Yeah, he's pissed at me and wouldn't be reasonable, so we're taking a break until he can get over himself."

"Why is he so pissed?"

"I'm sure we both know the reason why he's so pissed."

"Ah, so he saw."

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry, it's partly my fault that this happened."

"Actually it's completely your fault. But don't worry about it now." She glances back over to FP who, like she expected, is still watching her. She turns back to Hal with a plan in mind. "Now we both know you had a reason for coming over here so why don't you just ask?"

"Well, alright then. Wanna grab something to eat. Say Pop's, 6 o'clock?"

"I'll be there."

"Great, see you then." He walks away and Mary and Hermione give her a confused look.

"Hello?" Hermione asks, waving a hand in her face. "What the hell was that?"

"Yeah, what about FP?" Adds, a just as confused as Mary.

"Don't worry, I have FP exactly where I want him." She looks over at him and flashes a cocky smile before returning to her conversation with her friends.
