"because your just a man, it's just what you do."

it's been two days since I've seen mattheo, I've been avoiding him and from time to time I see him in the hallways but I quickly go the different direction

"helloo, y/n" hermione waves her hand in my face trying to get my attention

"huh, oh um I'm sorry hermione." I say as I look down

"Y/n can you please tell me what's wrong you've been zoning out none stop"

"I don't feel like talking about it, but I'm fine please don't worry." I say as I give her a light reassuring smile

***

"so I've been thinking, how about this Christmas break we all go to rons house!" hermione says

I nod as I look at my feet walking over the lines on the floor

"hello y/n" a girl says

"oh, hello luna!" I say as I smile

"you look unwell" she says

I look down, hermione clears her throat "luna! do you want to walk with us?"

she smiles, "I would but I have somewhere to be, I just wanted to let you know y/n that Thomas and Mattheo Riddle are looking for you"

My heart drops to my stomach

"um do you know why?" I say

"no sorry"

"it's okay, well we'll see you later luna!" I give her a warm smile as she walks away

"talk about the devil" hermione whispers to me as she nudges me

I look in front of us and see Thomas, I quickly look away "can we go the different direction" I whisper, hermione looks at me worried "sure" she whispers

we walk the different direction only to hear

"y/n!"

I close my eyes tightly turning around slowly as hermione turns around as well

"yes Thomas?"

he walks to us with his hands in his pockets frowning, I frown as well not liking the feeling of this "Can I talk to you?" I nod, he looks at hermione

"alone"

hermione looks at me with that 'no way' face, I give her a reassuring smile, a crease forms between her eyebrows, she looks at Thomas then me but before she says something she stops her self and walks away

I clear my throat "so?"

"there's a meeting in an hour."

"a meeting for what?"

he comes closer to me and leans down to my ear

"death eaters meeting" he whispers as he smirks at my facial expression

I turn pale, my stomach twisting

"not for your mark tho, just a simple meeting" he says as he puts his hands in his pocket looking down at me

I felt like I could breathe again but then I panic, why do they need me?

"okay." I say then walk away

my thoughts take over as I walk down the corridor not even realizing that there was someone in front of me, I bump into them

"sorry" I say as my head is still down and attempting to walk away, they grab my wrist and out of no where I punch them as a form of self defense, then I realize it's just theodore.

"omg" I say, I bend down to theo "I'm so so sorry, I-"

"it's okay y/n" theodore says as he laughs

I sigh as I get up giving him my hand to help him up

"are you okay you look pale" he says

"huh, oh yeah I'm fine don't worry about me, are you okay I hit you pretty hard"

he scoffs "felt like a tickle" I roll my eyes then smile gently, he has that worried look on his face, "tell me what's wrong y/n"

I sigh, he looks around making sure no one is watching then pulls me into a classroom I walk in and sit on the professors desk and he sits next to me

"there's a meeting in an hour" I say as I look at my thighs, he stays silent "I'm sorry y/n"

"what for?"

"that this is all happening to you."

I look at him and gently smile, he looks back at me smiling. I started noticing how beautiful he really is, his smooth skin, his freckles and perfectly shaped nose that I am so jealous of, his brown fluffy hair that looks so soft and his sharp jawline as well, and.....and his lips. gosh what am I thinking right now!

I didn't realize but our faces were much closer then they were 1 minute ago, I look away quickly and he clears his throat

"I- I need to go, I'll uh see you later?" I say as I get up

he looks up "yeah, yeah! I'll see you later" he gives me a smile and I give one back as I leave the classroom

fuck, I'm so stupid I cant believe I tried kissing her, when she left the classroom the door opened again, I thought it was her but instead it was mattheo

"Nott." he says as his hands go into his pockets

"why is y/n ignoring me?" he asks

I try to hide my smirk, I clear my throat "I don't know, ask her."

he walks to me "what were you guys doing in here?"

I look down as I smile then get up "you make it soo obvious riddle."

he clenches his jaw grabbing the collar of my shirt and pinning me against the wall

"tell me what the fuck you guys were doing right now."

I smirk "talking."

he punches me "don't give me that bullshit"

I laugh as I roll my tongue in the inside of my cheek "well we would've done more but-" he punches me again and I fall to the floor, he grabs me by my shirt punching me again and again

***

I got distracted, I'm such an idiot for trying to kiss one of my bestfriends, gosh how stupid can I be, "idiot" I mumble under my breath looking down as I walk too fast, I don't notice but I bump into a tall figure, again?

I look up and see cedric diggory, the hufflepuff boy

"y/n" he says as he smiles but the smile doesn't last as he frowns looking behind me, a crease forms between my eyebrows as I hear cedric gulp, "who's behind me cedric." I whisper

he looks at me sucking in a deep breath, "riddle."

my stomach twists, well I failed on avoiding him.

"leave" I say quietly

he nods and walks away looking back at mattheo then at me, I start walking hearing his foot steps behind me I speed up my paste, then I feel someone grab my wrist.

I get pinned up on a wall by mattheo

"why are you ignoring me darling?"

my breath shakes as I look down, chills covering me as he grabs my chin forcing me to look up, I let out a shaky breath as I look into his dark brown eyes, seeing nothing but emptiness in them

"If I'm avoiding you then how are we talking right now?"

he smirks then it turns into a straight line as he notices my gaze going to the blood on his shirt "is-" he cuts me off "It's my blood."

I look back at him, he smiles "there's a meeting in an hour." he says

"I know."

he looks at me with his brows raised

"thomas told me."

his smirk fades away

"he's grown a liking for you."

"oh shut up." I say as I roll my eyes

he clenches his jaw, "I don't want to see you near him."

"or what? you'll kill me?"

he looks into my eyes, "yes."

I scoff and push him off of me walking away from him

raging psychopath

lunatic

murderer

rude

a man.

and mattheo riddle is one I'll stay away from, meaning no kissing, no talking, no eye contact, avoiding every hall he's in, if I see him I'll aparate or maybe just run, and lastly, erasing every type of feeling I have for him and not forming any new ones.
