The Man Who Couldn't Love ~Tom Riddle Love Story~

part 11

I arrive in class with a minute to spare. I sit down quickly.

"Good morning," says a sweet voice

it's Harry "Good morning"

"Did you study?" he says

"I fell asleep last night but I got 20 minutes before I came to class," I say.

"that's good," he says

I start the test and I'm really nervous. if I fail this test my parents will kill me. My palms become sweaty and I'm literally about to burst into tears but then I felt a slight tug behind me.

"Don't worry Sarah bear you got this." someone whispers in my ear I realized it was Tom as soon as I heard Sarah bear.

"Thank you I really needed that," I say quietly.

he smiles and I smile then I head back to my test. I look at Harry and he put thumbs up and I smile. a couple of minutes later I finish my test and hand it to my teacher then I leave class really nervous because I don't know if I failed or not I head to my dorm and start pacing back and forth with so many thoughts running in my mind. "did I fail? Do I like Tom? Should I tell Harry? what happens if I fail?" then I hear a knock at my door and I go to answer it.

"Hey, are you ok?" Harry says.

"I don't know I'm kinda nervous what happens if I fail? Would I have to leave Hogwarts?" I say trying not to cry.

"You're not gonna fail," he says as he goes in for a hug.

"You don't know that," I say hugging him.

"Yes I do, your brilliant," he says kindly

"Are you sure?" I say

"a hundred percent," he says

"thank you I really needed that," I say. "Harry there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" He says

"You might want to sit for this," I say nervously

he sits down "What is it?" he says confused.

"Promise me you won't get mad?"

"What are you tal-" I cut him off

"Just promise," I say

"Ok I promise I won't get mad," he says still confused.

"Ummm how do I say this," I say nervously

"Just tell me," he says softly

"ok um, I kissed Tom. I'm sorry I didn't mean to I was studying and he was there and he was helping me and then I just happened" I say

"You kissed him..." he says

"Harry I'm sorry," I say apologetically

"Are you, are you sorry?" he says his voice getting a little louder

"Yes I am Harry I really am," I say

"Well, thanks Sarah I feel so much better because 'sorry' fixes everything," he says kind of yelling now.

"Harry please calm down," I say

he calms down a little "Whatever you deserve him anyways"

"Harry please..." I say while tears fall down my cheeks

"We are over." He says as he gets up and leaves.

I sit down on my bed with tears running down my cheeks "why did I tell him." I say to myself. I cry into my pillow until I hear a knock but decided not to answer so no one will see me crying. after like 2 minutes I finally hear footsteps leaving my dorm door and I cry myself to sleep.

~the next morning~

I wake up and don't even bother getting ready for class all I could think about was how much I hurt Harry it meant nothing. the kiss I mean. it was just an accident that's all it was. Tom doesn't even like me. I lay in bed and start watching TV. "should I be skipping class?" I say to myself. "I'll just tell them I wasn't feeling well." "Shit isn't the test results coming in today?!" I check the date and take a sigh of relief. "thank god it's tomorrow" I lay back down and start my show again. a couple of minutes later I hear the bell ring. I ignore it. a couple more minutes later I hear a knock at my door. I quickly put away the popcorn and turn off my TV so no one knows I skipped. I go over to the door and answer it.

"Hey."

I look up and realize it's Tom. "Hey what's up?"

"why weren't you in class today?" he says kindly like he knows what happened

I automatically remember me and Harry's fight "Nothing I just didn't feel good," I say trying not to cry.

"Are you ok?" he says kindly.

"No I'm not but it doesn't matter," I say with tears fillings my eyes so I look down.

He hugs me and runs my back "Shhh it's gonna be ok. what happened?" he says softly.

I don't say anything and just cry on his shoulder.

he hugs me for multiple minutes.

"You know you don't have to go this," I say wiping my tears and letting him go.

"Who hurt you?" He says softly

"It doesn't matter," I say.

"It obviously does if you're crying about it," he says.

"I told me and Harry me about our kiss and he got mad and broke up with me," I say holding back tears.

"Well he's being stupid to let you go," he says with his teeth clenched.

I smile slightly. "If you want you can go back to your dorm," I say kindly.

"No it's ok I'll stay." "what do you do when you're sad?" he says.

"I normally watch a movie or something," I say

"ok then I guess we are watching a movie," he says

"Ok fine I'll get the popcorn and you choose a movie," I say.

"Ok," He says as he goes for my bed and sits.

I go make the popcorn and come back. "Wow, a horror movie out of all movies," I say smiling.

"Yes, a horror movie," he says laughing.

"ok fine," I say as I sit down.
