Third Person

Holly sat in English class, something normally very easy for her but today for some reason she couldn't do the simplest thing. The teacher had given them a book to read, something Holly loves to be assigned to do, and yet this was the most infuriating book she's ever encountered. The text was small, but not terribly small. The main problem is that the text was blurry to her. She acted like she was reading until the bell rang. She angrily shut the book and threw it in her bag and stormed off to her dorm. She hates not being able to do something, mainly because she doesn't come across something she can't do often.

Holly threw the door to Harry and hers shared dorm and slammed the door behind her, shaking the room a little at her aggressiveness. She threw her bag with the book in it across the room and went over to her mirror, of course, her eyes were glowing blue in anger,

"Out of all the things you can fucking do, you cant read small fucking print?"

She angrily whispered to herself staring right at her own reflection, as if it were her own fault that she can't see the words. She ripped herself away from the mirror and basically flew to her bag, ripping it open and tearing the book out. She opened it up to the first chapter, that's right she hadn't gotten even a few words in and sat down at her desk.

 Holly focused and squinted as much as she could and nothing changed except her anger level as it only rose. She slowly looked up from the book, seconds away from setting the damn thing on fire. Holly gripped onto the book so hard it started to bend the book and tear some of the pages a little when the door opened,

"Hey love how are ya-"

Harry spoke, but he abruptly paused when he saw her hair lightly glowing and her eyes blue, not to mention the look of being upset and angry at the same time. He dropped his bag and quickly walked over to her,

"Darlin' what's got ya upset?"

He calmly spoke. She didn't even look at him, all she did was force the book in his direction,

"Can you read that?"

She said blandly. Harry furrowed a brow and took the book and opened it,

"I mean yeh, why do ya ask?"

"It's not blurry to you?"

He paused and looked back at the text, he was thoroughly confused,

"Uhm it's not, is it blurry to you?"

She bit the inside of her cheek and slowly crossed her arms and looked away from him to nod,

"This is stupid"

She said in a very frustrated tone. He slowly shut the book as he came to the realization of why Holly was so upset. She's a very confident person, finding something that seems so easy to everyone else difficult is frustrating to anyone, but it's absolutely infuriating to her,

"Aw darlin' it's not stupid, there are easy fixes for things like this"

He said as he gently put his hand on her forearm and crouched down,

"I shouldn't need a fucking fix"

She murmured,

"Holly darlin' can ya do me a favor and look at me?"
