The Girl Who Believed

I Don't Know

Athena's POV

Sunday was our lazy day. We all stayed in bed till around lunchtime. We didn't talk much, just sort of relaxed and stared at nothing. We like to think of it as a recharging day. We knew we will have to get up eventually, so by lunchtime, we got out of our beds and started getting ready for the day.

Caroline was getting slightly more dolled up for a Sunday since she is meeting with Remus after lunch in the library to finish the essay. We reminded her to talk to him and see what the boys are up to exactly and gave her some pep talk to get over her nervousness.

"You are Caroline Lightwood, a beautiful, talented, smart witch that has boys lined up at her feet. Remus is lucky to spend time with you," I said.

"Yes, Carebear, show him how much of an amazing person you are and he will want to spend more and more time with you," Lily said.

"And remember, sweet smile to show your cute dimples, laugh at his jokes, speak in a soft voice especially when you say his name, and for melin's sake try to flirt a bit," Angie said.

"Angie!" Caroline exclaimed.

Ignore her, you are supposed to be studying so it's not a perfect time to flirt. But as she said, keep the lovely smile on your face to highlight your beauty and speaking softly will come naturally because it's a library. So no need to overthink your actions," I told her while massaging her shoulders.

"Okay, okay! I got this," Caroline exclaimed taking a deep breath.

"Okay then, let's go. I'm hungry," I said.

The boys joined us as usual, but Black was unusually quiet. I don't know why I thought anything of it. It's supposed to be a good thing. He was annoying, right? I found myself glancing at him every few minutes. He was playing with his food.

"So, where were you this morning? You all missed breakfast," Potter asked.

"It's our recharge day," Lily said rolling her eyes. Their 'relationship' is improving. She answers him sometimes then goes snappy again. It's amusing really.

"Your what?" he asked.

"Recharge day. Every Sunday we like to sleep in and when we wake up we just lay in bed and do nothing. Just lay there," Caroline said dreamily.

"Sounds relaxing," Remus told her.

"It is. We relax and forget about stress and trouble," she told him smiling.

"Well, I hope you relaxed and recharged for our study session today," he said playfully.

"Hopefully," she said with a blush.

An owl suddenly landed in front of me with a small piece of parchment. I gave it a treat and it flew off. I opened the note and read it. The secret admirer didn't send anything yesterday. I figured that he found out about my date with Theo, but now he sent me one sentence. I felt bad.

I lie awake at night, wishing of things I can change.

"Is it from your admirer? He didn't send anything last night," Angie asked.

"I think he found out about my date with Theo, which is weird because almost no one knows about it. And I don't know whether this letter falls under Lily's theory or Caroline's," I told Angie.

"What theories?" asked Remus.

"Well, after Theo asked Athena on a date and she agreed, we thought about the admirer and his reaction. Lily said that this might make him man up and do something about it, and I said that he might be heartbroken and possibly give up," Caroline answered him, "What does it say though?"
