Tryst -Tom Riddle

TOM'S POV

It's Saturday evening and I've spent the entire day by myself in my room. I've been thinking about horcruxes, about the time when I'll finally be immortal, my future plans and also about Y/N. I don't know if she and Malfoy went to Hogsmeade today. He is clearly trying to impress her!
Exhausted and tired of being in the same room since morning, I took a book to read and went down in the common room.
There's a chair in the common room near the black leather couch, that's where I usually sit and read. But, someone is already sitting there. I walked closer and recognised the person, Katherine Holmes. She's in my year and Merlin she never stops flirting with me.

"Holmes" I called out. She turned around and noticed me and as I expected, she smirked.
"Hello Riddle." She said in her annoying tone.
"Get up."
"Huh?"
"Are you deaf? I said get up!"
"Tch, no need to be mean Riddle. By the way, I heard that since you're a Prefect now, you have your own dorm room, is that correct?"
"How is that any of your business?"
"Well, I was wondering if you and I could spend some time in your room alone?" She said playing with her hair. When will she stop?

"No, I don't have time to waste, I'm busy." I said irritated.
"Come on, I know deep down you want to be with someone, spice things up,you know?"
How do I shut her up?
"No, I don't know. Now I'd appreciate if you would stop blabbering about things I'm not interested in and get up from my seat." I said confidently. She always ruins my mood.
She rolled her eyes and finally got up. "Fine."she said angrily.

I sat down and peacefully started reading my book. Around 30 minutes later, two people entered the common room. I looked up and I saw Mackanzie and Malfoy coming back from their little trip to Hogsmeade. She was laughing at some weird joke he said. They both looked at me but my eyes were fixed on her. Our eyes met. "Hello Tom." She said in her sweet voice, smiling.
"Evening. Had fun with him?"

"Yes! I definitely needed a break. How was your day?"
"Nothing special. Just finishing my homework."

She was about to say something when someone interrupted her.
"Evening!." Avery, Lestrange and Nott.
"Where are you guys heading to?" Malfoy asked them.
"Great Hall. It's almost dinner time. Want to join us?" Avery said.
"Sure." Malfoy said getting up. "What about the two of you?" Lestrange asked us.
"I'll be there in some time." She replied.
"They all looked at me and I said "Me too."
"If you say so." Nott said and they left.

She sat down on the couch and I got up and sat down beside herself.

"You seem really happy today." I said.
"I am. I had a great day today. It's been so long since I've spent a day like this."
"Can I ask you something?'
"Sure, what is it?"
"Do you like Malfoy?"
"What? No! He's just a good friend of mine. Thanks to you, without you we would have never been so good friends. Why did you ask anyway?"
"Nothing, just out of curiousity." I dryly replied.
I regret introducing her to my followers and especially Malfoy!
"I'll see you tomorrow Y/N." I said and left.

MACKANZIE'S POV

I was a little nervous to talk to Tom after what happened last night
He was behaving odd today. When I entered the common room, I looked at him and the first things that came to my mind was the kiss we shared last night. It was so heavenly. I just wanted to feel his lips against mine again. We didn't talk much today. He just suddenly left the common room and went back to his dorm and soon after that, I returned to my dorm as well.

I was getting ready for bed when my roommates came back from dinner. I saw Aimee. We didn't talk the entire day today.
"Hello Aimee." I said. Without even looking at me she said "Hi."
"How was you-"
" I'm really very tired. We'll talk later. Good night." She said.
Aimee and I have never had a dry conversation like this before. I laid down and tried to sleep but I can't stop thinking about what Tom asked me. What if I do like Abraxas? But I like Tom. What if I like both of them?
