FORBIDDEN FEELINGS part 2

Chapter 36- Lengel and Mo's Secret Conversation

It's Monday 5th June and it's very hot. All the boys are wearing shirts and I am not complaining whatsoever. I'm in my shirt too as I'm literally going to sweat my tits off. After DADA second period, I realise that I left my book in the classroom and I need it for homework. I make my way to the classroom to get the book. As I approach the door, I can hear Lengel's voice from outside. I place my ear against the door to hear her say "He needs to get him, maybe he could pretend to be his friend or something."

I then hear Mo reply back "Hmmm... I'll talk to him, but I highly doubt that he'll do it."

"Well we'll make him wont we, Mo?"

"Okay we will, but I'll only do this for you if I get something in return."

What are they on about? Who are they talking about?

There's a giggle from Lengel, "It'll be worth it."

I have to get my book now otherwise it'll be too late! My knuckle knocks loudly on the door as I tremble into the cold, dim classroom. They stare at me with guilt on their faces as they separate from each other.

"Oh, hello Miss Carter. Did hear any of that?" Lengel asks, worriedly.

I shake my head. I have to lie. This could be serious, and I should keep this to myself for now.

"Good. Lengel and I were just discussing... lesson plans. Why are you here?" Mo questions.

"I left my book here and I have homework. I'll just get it and leave you guys to it" I reply as I walk to my desk and grab the book.

"Very well then. You're a good student, Carter" Lengel compliments me.

I smile and as I'm leaving, I ask Mo "Is your brother okay?"

Mo looks confused "Um, I guess so. Why?"

"Well, he has a black eye, and I was just wondering if you knew how he got it."

"Umm... I think he... walked into a wall."

"Oh really? He wasn't lying?" I ask as I'm confused. Malfoy was right.

"Nope" Mo smiles "Now run along Jessa."

I nod and I head out of the room. As I am walking, I bump into the one and only Draco Malfoy. When he processes it, he looks puzzled why I was in the classroom.

"What are you doing Carter?" he queries.

"I was just getting my book. Why are you here?" I ask back.

"Doesn't matter."

"Yes, it does. Why are you always with them? You don't seem happy at all."

"Stop worrying about me Carter. You don't own me so just leave me alone and let me do what I want." He pushes past me, but I grab his arm before he enters.

"But this is not what you want."

"How would you know what I want and what I don't? You don't know me."

"Sure. I don't know you at all, do I Malfoy?" I say sarcastically.

"You don't though. You think you do but there's so much you don't know about me, and I'm pretty sure you've never actually seen me happy. So, there's no difference with the way I'm feeling now and all the time. Maybe I do want to be here, so if you'll excuse me, then I have to be in there now."

"Okay, maybe I haven't seen you happy, but I've seen you normal and now, and I see a difference. I actually hate you right now, but I can't stand to see you like this."

"Like what Carter? I'm fine. I don't understand you; you know. One minute you're shouting at me, saying that you never want to talk to me again and then the next minute you care about me. Just leave me the fuck alone and stop messing with my head because I'm tired of you thinking you can tell me what to do. You're not my mother so just leave before I get really mad."

"But Malfoy- "

"GO!" He screams and I just accept it.

Then all of a sudden I remember that it's his birthday!

"Wait!" I shout and he turns around with anger all over his face. "Happy Birthday" I smile and he rolls his eyes as he walks into the room without even a thank you.

As much as I hate his guts, I'm scared for him being with Mo and Lengel. I mean they're really suspicious right now and I feel like Malfoy is either getting dragged into this or is the leader of this all. Wait what am I talking about? The leader of what? I need to sleep.

I get back to the common room and I look for Harry. Oh shit. I keep forgetting that he's in self isolation for a while. It's been weird without him though, but he's been revising in his room, so he'll probably get a good grade. Hermione and I are revising in the dorm and it's so boring, however I really want a good grade so I'm just going to have to deal with the fact that I am bored out of my mind and just do my work.
