Dreams Chapter 18

Chapter 18 I/I/I/I/I/I/I/I/ A few days later, I’m in the Great Hall for lunch, just sitting with my friends but Logan and Teddy. I haven’t seen them all day, and it’s making me worried. Until they walk in, grinning at each other for once in their life. I impulsively hide. Teddy nudges Logan and I watch him nod towards me. I turn back around and stare at my food. They then keep walking and sit next to Matt, across from me. I don’t let my eyes meet theirs as the boys have a hushed conversation with each other. As soon as I finish what’s on my plate, I jump up and run over to the Gryffindor table, and drag Bella away, and into a corner. I can hear some Slytherins then loudly laugh, and then Emily yelling at them. I shrug and turn to face Bella. My younger twin is worriedly staring at me, chewing on her bottom lip until she says, “What’s going on, Jackie?” “Teddy and Logan seemed to be noticing me again!” I shake Bella by her shoulders, “What do I do?!” Bella then reaches over my arms to make me stop shaking her. “Calm down, Jacks!” I take my hands off of her shoulders and clasp them. My twin sighs and just hugs me. “I-” My eyes widen and I just stand there. She lets go and after a moment of silence says, “Well, did you at least figure out which one you’re going with?” I laugh awkwardly, “Yeah… Fun story… So I might have just decided to go with both…” Bella pales. “You did what now?” I groan, “I couldn’t decide which one to go with so I just did… Both. No decision means no problems, right?” My twin face-palms and mutters something. “What?” She looks up and just says, “Nothing, I just think you’re in a way digging your own grav3. What if they find out?” “They won’t!” Bella crosses her arms. “What?” Then, the sister we least expected walks over and puts a hand on my shoulder. “What’s going on?” I turn around and see Hermione. “Um, nothing,” I mutter and start to walk away, but Bella grabs my robes and pulls me back. ‘Mione raises an eyebrow. I groan and tell her the whole story. When I finish and tell her my solution, she yells, “Jackie!” The noise level decreases and I suddenly feel uncomfortable. “What?” I groan, just as loudly. “That’s a terrible idea! You’re basically double-booking them!” “Hey! That’s what I said,” I hear Bella say in the background. “Well, maybe they should have thought of the fact that I would have to choose between the two of them,” I responded. “But- Jackie. You’re basically digging your own grav3!” “Why does everyone keep saying that?!” I then just walk away, leaving my sisters behind. (It'll be fine. They'll see.)
