"no we are just friends "

The air deliberately turned cool. All y/n can see outside is the color white, y/n saw kids outside playing around and throwing snowballs at each other.

Y/N

Taking a step outside really was a relief, my nostrils filled up with the essence of winter, not really sure there is a specific smell for it but who cares.

After a solid minute of acknowledging my thoughts, something had to ruin it. I screeched. A snowball hit my ear, thankfully, I had it covered with a scarf. I instantly turned around, brushing the snow off me, Ginny who was next to me laughed, she hit me with a fucking snowball. I wasn't going to let her get away with that so easily. I clenched a big amount of snow and formed it into a ball, I directly pointed it at Ginny and shot it, but Ginny immediately moved out the way. Next thing I know, it hit the tall, charming, dark figure. Riddle.

Straight away I ran towards him. "I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hit you." I spoke to him. Ginny just giggled in the back.

"are you daft? wait till your parents hear that you have been playing around, hitting people with snow during a school day." He rolled his eyes.

"I told you that I was sorry, It was accidental, please do not tell my parents." I begged. Tom gave a soft laughter and walked away. He always walks away.

That was the first time he talked to me in weeks, it's like this constantly. He socializes with me for less than 5 minutes, more like argue, then ignores me for weeks and repeats.

Winter break is less than 2 days, when I came back to my common room after my exhausting classes, I started packing my things. Ginny is going to spend it with her family, which reminds me that Christmas is going to happen during the break. Christmas with Tom Riddle.

not how I expected my year to go.

The day finally came and everyone was saying goodbye to each other, I was trying to find Tom around the school, I did see Cedric though. We don't talk to each other at all anymore, and I was completely okay with it. Good to see I didn't need him in my life.

I jump when I felt sudden hands tap me on my shoulder. Ah there he was. I saw his hand vibrate a little, Tom was mad at me for that.

"ready to go?" I asked with a straight face. He nodded and headed to the train. We sat down next each other since we kind of had to, Ginny also sat next to us along with her brother Ron, her twin brothers were on another seat.

Tom was looking directly at the window, I looked at him, his long lashes on his eyes blinked as he scanned what was outside, he licked his lips a bit, I know I thought this many times, but I'm right.

He is really attractive. But he is also an ass.

Ron looked up at me, then to Tom. I raised my eyebrow at him. "Are you two dating?" He asked. Tom quickly glanced at the Weasley, I did too. "no we are just friends, my parents invited him to spend the break with us." I hesitated. Tom scoffed when I said the word friends.

What actually were we? He doesn't think of me as a friend.

I'm just money to him.

I couldn't care less
