Part Thirteen ~ Unexpected

Slytherin Dorms
———————————————————————————
ISLA: You're kidding right?
Y/N: Nope
ISLA: I swear you two are the weirdest people I've met. Just date already
Y/N: Shut up. Besides, being friends doesn't mean we're ready to date
ISLA: So you admit you'd date him?
Y/N: No
ISLA: That's not what I'm hearing
Y/N: I literally just said no
ISLA: You're mouth is saying no but your eyes are saying something else
Y/N: Can we please not talk about me anymore? How are things going with you and Ron?
ISLA: Bad. Lavender clearly likes him and he definitely had a thing for Hermione
Y/N: How do you know?
ISLA: It's so obvious!
Y/N: I'm so sorry Isla..I know how much you liked him
ISLA: Ya whatever it doesn't matter anymore. I knew it was a bad idea to go after him. I mean how would he possibly fall for me?

She sat on her bed and huffed a piece of her hair away from her face. Her blonde hair was neatly clipped on one side of her ear.

I sat beside her and let out a long sigh

Y/N: I guess neither of us have any luck in that department
ISLA: It's because we're in Slytherin

This made my head turn. I could feel my ears getting hot

Y/N: Enough! Of course that's not why! I'm so sick of hearing about Slytherin's bad rep. It's getting on my nerves. It's like everywhere I turn all I hear and see are people pointing out my house. It's like a giant label on my forehead or something.

ISLA: I know I hate it too.
Y/N: Just... don't let it get to you okay? I promise that's not why Ron and you aren't working out.

She nodded and I gave her a gentle hug

Isla and I made our way out to the gardens.

On our way there we saw Ron and Hermione standing against a big tree. Alone.

Y/N: Alright let's go somewhere else..
ISLA: No, it's fine we don't have to leave because of him.
Y/N: You sure?
ISLA: Ya, I'm practically half over him already

I laughed and bumped her shoulder lightly. We walked around the bushes and found empty benches to our left.

ISLA: I used to come out here all the time but since exams are near I stopped going.
Y/N: Tell me about it. My mom picked the worst time to enroll me here. I only have a month left before the big exam.
ISLA: Well on the bright side after our tests we have the Yule Ball!
Y/N: I don't even know if I wanna go to that
ISLA: You're kidding right?
Y/N: I'm being serious, I don't like stuff like that
ISLA: The more I get to know you, the more I realize how many things you dislike

I rolled my eyes as she giggled.

There was a rose bush next to me. I bent over to pick one before a warm hand made contact with mine. I quickly took my hand away and looked up at the figure ahead of me

MILES: Y/N! Good to see you!
Y/N: Miles?
MILES: That's me!
Y/N: What are you doing here?
MILES: Free period

Just great.

Y/N: Uh, Isla this is Miles, Miles this is my friend Isla

ISLA: Hi
MILES: How's it going?
ISLA: How it always goes

Miles chuckled and nodded in agreement

MILES: So Y/N what brings you here? Gotta say I'm pretty surprised to see you out
Y/N: You make me sound like a vampire or something
