Bad Romance

Page 598 and 599

-From your POV-

Now that I'm finally done the book, I can give it to Tom. But before I do, I'm going to rip out pages 598 and 599, I think to myself. I reach under my pillow and flip to the pages and yank them out, leaving a clean tear. Satisfied, I nod and fold the two pages and put them into my robe pocket and slide the book into my bag and get ready to head to class. I need those two pages for my horcruxes. Plus, I don't trust Tom as far as I can throw him and I don't want him getting any ideas. Nobody can stop me. I grin to myself thinking of the great discovery I've just made. I walk into Dumbledore's classroom and find my seat next to Riddle himself. I reach into my bag and pull out the book before handing it over under the table. He looks at me then down to where my hand is and grabs it.

"You finished it already?" he asks, flipping through the pages quickly.

"Yup. I read fast." I tell him before getting out the supplies I needed for that class. I can feel his eyes on me so I turn back to him. With an annoyed tone and expression, I pause what I'm doing and ask him: "Is there something on my face?". His emotionless face changes as he squints his eyes at me.

"I think you secretly enjoy my company, Y/n." I widen my eyes and pout my lip.

"Yes I am so madly in love with you that I just cannot help myself." I say in an exaggerated voice. I turn back to my books and Tom rolls his eyes before his typical sociopathic stare returns. "By the way," I start. "You called me by my name instead of Sorcier. Weird." I see his eyes start to widen before I turn back to my books once more.

Classes the rest of the day go by normal until we got to Slughorn's. We were learning this weird spell (that I don't think he was supposed to even be teaching) that changed eye colors. He decided to test us on it the following day, meaning we had to practice it tonight for a passing grade tomorrow. When the class finally ended, I got my stuff and made my way with Aria down to the Great Hall to meet Cierra and Victoria.

We sat down at our usual table but this time, I was sitting on the opposite side. Meaning I could see Tom's table perfectly. I pulled out the diary that I had written down Slughorn's little spell down in and started studying it while my friends starting chatting up a storm. "What do you think Y/n?" Victoria asks me, getting my attention. I look up from my studies and look to the three of them all looking back at me.

"What do I think about what?" I ask. Victoria rolls her eyes and chuckles.

"Edward Cullen wants Cierra to study with him tomorrow after classes." Victoria informs me. Cierra giggles and puts her head in her palms while Aria starts poking and teasing.

"I think that if she wants to go study with Edward Cullen then she should go." I say flatly.

"Boo! Obviously it's not studying, he likes her." Victoria responds. I sit up straight and set my diary that was in my hands flat on the table. Before turning to Cierra.

"Cierra, if you like him then go for it. If not, then don't." I lean back and look at Victoria and Aria before raising an eyebrow. "If she doesn't like him then there's no point in going. Men aren't necessary, remember?" I say. Cierra looks up and smiles and nods.

"She has a point." Cierra chimes in.

"Ughhh when are you going to stop being a man eater?" Victoria asks.

"When they stop being so dumb." I respond.

"There has to be some guy that you don't hate." Aria insists.

"You're right." I see Aria and Victoria's eyes widen as they tense up. "I love Elton John." I say flatly before they both sigh and fall back in their seats. I laugh at the reaction. I was laughing so hard I was leaning forward and had one hand over my stomach with my eyes shut tight. When I open my eyes, they're met with a familiar pair of brown ones from across the room. I sit back up in my seat, not breaking eye contact with him. He has that same dull expression on his face. He then turns to the girl that was sitting next to him, blabbing her mouth off and pretends to be interested in what she was saying. I feel my face start to wince as I watch in disgust. He then leans forward and tells her something that makes her giggle and blush before looking back to me. I scrunch my face even more and open my mouth and point with my finger, mocking a gag. I sit back even more and return my face to normal before looking back at my friends. Aria is staring at me and then looks over her shoulder. She just so happened to see that encounter with him.
