y/n pov
i was sitting on my couch minding my own business, eating dry cereal out of a cup, when a knock echoed through the empty house. Me being me, a socially awkward 16 year old girl who hates social interaction, tried the old "NOBODY IS HOME" trick you see in those muggle movies.
it didn't work.
"Open the door Y/n/n!!!!!" (your nick name)
i ran to the door, tripping on my feet a little bit due to the excitement.
when i opened the door, i saw him. i saw my best friend, Tom Riddle, standing in my doorway with his famous Riddle smirk.
i jumped onto him knocking him on the ground, but we both laughed about it. we spent around a good five minutes on the ground hugging before i got up and then brought my hand down to help him.
"Tommy~ come in!!!"
he chuckled and made his way through the door, slipping his shoes off at the stairs.
he instantly walked to the kitchen and looked through my fridge. i went and laid down on the couch again, resuming my movie.
"whatcha watchin'?"
Tom asked, and he sat criss-cross in front of my chest.
"Some muggle movie; 'Beetlejuice' i think it's called."
i replied, combing my hand through his raven curls. i felt him jump slightly at the sudden touch, and couldn't help smile to myself. i remembered the first day we met.
~flashback to the kindergarten ~
(3rd person pov)
it was a chilly day in London, England
then again, when is it not?
y/n's mom was driving her child to kindergarten, where she hopped out of her car with her infant and toddler, walking to the schools entrance.
"Good morning, Ms. Ketcher."
"Good morning, miss l/n"
"Hi miss Ketcher!!" y/n yelled, as they was exited to see their favorite teacher.
"Haha, hello Y/n, how are you?"
"I'm good miss ketcher."
"good, now go play with your friends!"
and with that, y/n ran away to join Stacey, Riley, and Joeseph. their not-so-close friends.
~time skip to when class starts~
"Hey class! Today we have a new student joining us today! Tom, please say hi to the class and tell us about you."
They shy boy looked up slightly, with a crimson blush laying on his cheeks.
"Uhm-uh... hi. i'm Tom, and uh i'm an only child."
"Thank you, Tom. You may sit next to y/n."
The boy, Tom, sat next to y/n and suddenly became very comfortable and talkative around her.
~time skip to after school~
"Mommy!!!" Y/n yelled, as they ran to her mother in delight. "I made a new friend!!" (a/n that's something i don't do often) "He's over there! TOM!!!!"
The young boy looked over at her surprisingly, but then almost immediately smiled, grabbed his mother by the wrist, and pulled her in y/n's direction.
The moms quickly clicked, ended up talking for half an hour. While the moms were doing mom stuff, however, y/n and Tom were playing on the playground.
"I wanna be friends with you forever, y/n." Tom said, grinning gigantically.
"Me too Tommy." Y/n said.
••flashback over••
"Y/N!!!!!!!!!!" Tom screamed at the top of his lungs.
"OHMYGOSH WHAT TOM"
"you were staring at me for five
minutes, i know i'm gorgeous but calm yourself, becky." (becky is an inside joke between the two)
I am going to kill this bitch. He wanna fight.
"Ohhh yeh, my bad Mr. Riddle. I somehow forgot that a bunch of people are literally in love with you and that i am too but in a different way and i just really wanna date you but you probably don't want to date me and--"
shit. i didn't mean for that to slip out, oh god.
"W-wait.... you want to date me, y/n?" Tom said as he looked like he just shit his pants.
"Ye-Yeah. i do want to date you, Tom. but it wouldn't work, you're busy at hogwarts all the time and my mom won't let me go; you know this." they said with a frown
"Y/n, Don't ever say that unless you know it's true."
"But it is tr--"
Tom cut me off my smashing his lips onto mine. At first i was taken back but i soon gave in and returned the kiss. His lips tasted like cherry, did he put on chapstick? i don't know, i just knew i never wanted this kiss to end.
"Tom...." i choked out after pulling away from the kiss.
"Yes, y/n?"
"I love you, Tom Riddle. I always have."
"And i've loved you way longer and much more than you ever have, Y/n
L/n."
