The Girl Who Believed

Forgiveness

Athena's POV

You
You are all the best days in life
You are the rare realization of happiness
You are frosty winter mornings
You are late nights in empty cities
You are warmth flooding through veins
You are night skies in polaroids
You are long poems about feelings
You are tears and emotions
You are mountains and snow
You are street lamps
You are coming home from concerts
You are night sky embracing the universe

I was reading my morning letter at breakfast with a smile plastered wide on my face. This is by far the longest one he had sent and it's beautiful. I can't believe that someone really thinks about me that way. That I mean so much to someone. Romantically I mean. In the beginning, I thought it was just a crush and a few cute sentences and compliments, but each letter is getting more and more beautiful. Expressing what can only be love.

Someone is in love with me.

Everyone around me was eating quickly so we won't be late for class while I smiled and reread the letter, not noticing the gray-eyed boy staring at me.

The food disappeared and the bell rang signalling that we should head to class.

The rest of the day passed by in a blur and soon, classes were over. Which means I will be tutoring Black soon.

"So, where do you want to study? I was thinking the Black Lake," asked Black as we got out of class.

"Let me catch a break first before having to deal with you," I said and he rolled his eyes.

"Fine, what do you want to do during your break?" he asked.

"It's MY break, therefore, none of your business. Now go do whatever then meet me in the library in an hour," I told him.

"I already have my things with me, so I'm going with you wherever you're going," he said walking beside me.

"No, go hang out with your friends," I said. He ignored me and kept walking beside me. I rolled my eyes and kept walking. I decided to ignore his presence since it's obvious that I can't get rid of him.

We met with the girls in front of the kitchen and they gave me questioning looks when they saw him right behind me.

"I couldn't get rid of him, so just ignore him," I said and tickled the pear.

"But Ay, it's our thing. Now he will tell the others and they will come and annoy us," Angie whined.

"He won't if he knows what's good for him," I said and turned to him and glared, "Listen, if I ever see you or any of the boys in the kitchen after classes on Fridays, you can kiss tutoring sessions good-bye."

"Wouldn't dream of it," he said with a wink.

We sat around a table after we asked a house-elf for some sweets.

"So, what's the latest gossip?" Black asked. We all looked at him weird, "What? Isn't this what you girls talk about here? Catch up on the latest gossip?"

"Yes. I'm pretty sure it will bore you, though. So feel free to leave any minute now," I said.

"No, I'm good. I'm curious what has been going on this week," he said. I rolled my eyes and turned away from him, crossing my arms like a child.

"Did you know that Zita has two twin brothers? They're triplets," Caroline started to break the tension.

"Zita? The blonde girl in Ravenclaw that puts weird make-up?" asked Angie.

"Yup," she answered.

"How do you know? Are they in Hogwarts?" Lily asked.

"Scratch that, are they hot?" asked Angie.
