quick note: ahahaha becca and link meet >:) also, alex g is quoted in this. enjoy. ♥ '...who's that walking down your stairs? double check, there's something there...' Saksham Roy is an idiot. It's as simple as that. For someone who's supposed to hate my guts, he's doing a horrible job ignoring me. So when I receive an invite to his start-of-the-year party, you could say I was, like, shocked. Not that I'm debating to attend or not. I'm obviously not going to go- "-yeah, I heard if you don't go, you're, like, super lame," some kid shouted out as if the universe was pushing me to go. I suppose it could be different... Not that I have anything else to do. ᑉ³ When I do arrive at the party, obviously Mr. Hero Complex is the center of attention. There's also someone by his arm, who isn't a Hufflepuff. Interesting, considering the fact I'm pretty sure he's been fawning over that one Hufflepuff girl... But it's this new kid who's in Slytherin. I think I've heard about her... what was her name? Rebecca... Brinkman? She doesn't really matter to me... I don't really want to gain attention from Saksh by talking to her. Sometimes it's amusing. I feel more like Saksh's ex than Leo's ex. I think Leo forgave me. We... talked. The new kid approaches me, and I think Saksh has filled her in about all the drama. Probably painted me the villain in classic hero complex fashion. "You're like... Saksh's," she started, her voice was the first thing I noticed. "Saksh's what?" I spat out, looking slightly angered. "Like... you don't really like him." I inhale sharply, before commenting, "yeah, you're right. We don't like each other very much. But, let me guess, you're his girlfriend?" "Nope," she replied, with a shrug. "Oh, really? Then why is it that whenever I see you two together you're always looking at him like he's all you see?" I scowled. I wasn't really jealous of that... I was just, sort of scared he was going to drop her. "What, jealous you can't talk to a girl yourself?" she mused, and I rolled my eyes. With a frown, I said, "uh-huh, like I care." "No, I think you do," she remarked. Something about her was getting on my nerves. It was awfully annoying. I just hope her loverboy didn't notice me talking to her. I could only deal with enough crazy. "Yeah? Well, why don't you go back to your boyfr_end? I think he's missing you right now." "Why do you even hate him that much?" "Do you actually want to know?" there are so many reasons bottled up inside me, that I just want to shout all of them. "Because we probably shouldn't hang out if you're friends with Mr. Moral Compass over there." She's insufferable, considering the fact that she responds with, "well, if he won't let me be friends with you, then I don't want to be friends with him." "-who said I want to be friends with you? I've dealt with ENOUGH people fawning over Roy," I rolled my eyes. "I especially don't need another, considering we're not friends anymore." "What even happened-?" "-me and him are not friends. That's it. That's IT." Why is she still talking to me? Why can't she just take a hint? "I..." she paused, "I just wanted some friends, okay? I'm new, and it's sort of hard being the new girl in school!" "I think you're getting on just fine. You're hanging out with Mr. Hero complex, aren't you?" Our bickering continues, until I finally give up. I can't deal with having another person to hate... or to be hated by another person. I accept her handshake, and just feel stunned. Did I just become friends with Roy's mental girlfri_end? Something tells me he's going to be furious, and personally... I would like to witness that. "C'mon, let's dance," she laughs, changing the entire tone of our conversation from bickering to... to something two friends would have a conversation on. "No- I... I dance like an ancient old man," I admit with narrowed eyes, "just a simple ballroom waltz. Nothing more..." I frowned, but I was still pulled towards the dance floor as she took my wrist. Was this a mistake? ...and why is my heart catching in my throat? ♥ credit to , and for letting me use their character <3 The usual; background characters are owned by me and my friends. I'd like to explain if you want to know more about them.
