"promise"

Tom wouldn't talk to me a few days later, it's normal.

But why is this time different?

Tom was being very dramatic and asked permission for him to move seats so he couldn't sit by me anymore at potions, Snape was completely okay with it and I ended up sitting next to a girl from Ravenclaw, Luna lovegood.

This isn't fair? I was supposed to be the one mad at him, not the other way around.

Seeing him less made me think a lot, It was almost like I missed him.

miss Tom Riddle?

was I developing feelings for him?

were the feelings always there but I never noticed?

No

No

I cant think thoughts like this. He is completely mad, I cant have a crush on him.

After all the thoughts and thinking I decided I need to get rid of what i'm feeling.

"let me hear this right, you and Draco Malfoy are dating now?" Ginny squealed.

"can you say that any louder?" I groaned. "yes, I started to like the boy and he asked me out. of course I cant miss an opportunity with draco malfoy."

"almost every girl in school is in line to be you, how does that feel?" she smirked at me.

I laughed, hitting her on the shoulder. "you're being loud, remind you that we are inside a library."

"fine fine" Ginny lowered her voice. " I just never actually expected you guys to date, what happened to that Riddle kid?"

My face dropped. "nothing happened between me and him." I cleared my throat.

"you both looked into each other though, you never shagged him once??" The ginger head raised her eyebrow at me.

"No" I quickly replied.

"whatever you say y/n"

-

Oddly, Y/n wasn't the only one who was thinking about her feelings and relationship.

Tom constantly kept dabbing his quill in ink, trying to finish something for class. He knew about y/n and Draco and he wasn't so happy about it, not quite.

The countless amount of times he ignored her presence, Riddle couldn't care less. The day she quit doing tasks for him, he had enough. Tom always thought he hated her. He thought if he'd change seats and never talk to her again she'd simply forget everything he told her, everything he regret telling her. Why was he so naive?

Seeing her with the ugly blonde Malfoy made him fume. He didn't like it, not one bit. The anger Tom felt, seeing them in the hallways, acting like the perfect couple. Y/n's face lit up whenever Malfoy was around her, Malfoy would always surprise y/n by grabbing her waist from behind, she always chuckled and pulls him in for a kiss.

they were perfect

he sometimes thought about how it would feel to be in Malfoy's place

tom absolutely hated it, how Draco made her smile, how he touches her and how y/n allows him to be with her.

what should he do? was the first thing he thought of. He sure couldn't just tell y/n to break up with him, she won't listen. He wanted to make things right, something he'd never thought he'd do.

"y/n!" He yelled at her after potions was over.

Y/n definitely hesitated before turning around to meet his cold eyes again.
"yes?" She answered softly.

Tom cleared his throat. "I"

"I?" She questioned. "Well, I don't want to speak with to you."

It was weird, for once in his life Tom was stuttering.
"look, let's not talk about our past reputation and start over? Let's stop hating each other"

"what?"

"seriously? Riddle first of all, I don't hate you, I despise you. And second, you think i'd forgive you this quick? after everything you've done?" She argued, lowering into a whisper. "You're a bloody killer for gods sake"

"i'll stop. I'll stop everything involving dark magic, just to be friends." Tom ran after her.

"why do you want to be friends so bad? You're the one always ignoring me"

He actually didn't know the answer to that, Tom spoke the first thing that came to mind.
"Hating you started to get boring."

"Oh" Her angelic voice hitched out.

It took her a minute to think about it.

"promise..promise you will stop the dark magic things and..not hurt anyone?"

Riddle clenched his jaw, knowing the words that are going to come out his mouth next are going to be lies.
"promise" He smiled

"okay" Her teeth grinned on her lip, looking down at the floor and stepping a few steps back.
"it's official then."

"we are official friends" She replied in more of a question tone.

"it's official" he mumbled back.

'i despise you' Tom mocked y/n's words before leaving.
