George Weasley One Shots

3. Take a chance on me

Why did he have to be so goodlooking?

I caught myself staring at him again. That fiery red hair and that confident persona did something to me. Everytime he would catch my attention but I felt like he never actually returned it. I was just another one of those desperate girls drooling for him, but somehow I couldn't help but feel like we had something more.

It was a sunny tuesday and we were back in the greenhouses when we were told to split in pairs. Of course I was the only one left without a partner and I expected that I had to do this assignment on my own aswell until someone sat down next to me.

"I see you don't have a partner yet so you get the absolute pleasure of working with me"

I looked up and I couldn't help but take in a sharp breath when I saw him sitting next to me.

"George Weasley, the one and only"

He cockily raised his eyebrows at me and stared me down. I guess all the attention he had been getting from girls had somewhat affected his personality. I remembered him being more reserved and humble, but I guess I was wrong. The change in his demeanor made him a lot more unnatractive.

George's pov:

Today was the first time Fred didn't immediatly claim me as a partner to do whatever project. He wasn't really paying attention to anything at the moment. A girl had caught his attention and he has been disconnected for days now.

Speaking of girls, this was my chance to finally do a project with a girl that has been on my mind since forever. She was sitting alone and was boring her eyes in her textbook, clearly focussing on something else rather than finding a partner. I couldn't help but notice that she looked sad. I hated to see her this way, she didn't deserve it.

I finally plucked up the courage and stood up to sit down next to her. On my way there my heart was pounding out of my chest, god did she make me nervous. Even when she was just sitting there staring in her textbook she made my palms sweaty and my knees buckle.

I tried to think of something funny to say when I sat down next to her, but my brain wasn't connected to my mouth because I just blurted out the worst thing I could say to her.

"I see you don't have a partner yet so you get the absolute pleasure of working with me"

She finally looked up at me with those beautiful green eyes. I heard her somewhat gasp, I didn't really understand why. My mind was racing trying to find something to say but again I just blurted something out.

"George Weasley, the one and only"

I tried to go with it and raised my eyebrows at her but she slightly frowned at me, god I just blew my chance.

"yeah.. I know who you are you don't need to tell me that"

She sounded a little upset, I didn't know if it was because of me or if something else was bothering her. She turned away from me and continued with staring in her textbook. I wanted her to like me so bad but for the life of me, I couldn't understand why. I had this constant need for her approval but in some way I could never get physically close to her because she made me lose all control.

"so ehmm you want to get on with the project then?"

She looked up again and gave me a wonky smile. Her cheeks reddend and a finger found its way into her hair. Did I just fix my fuck up? Did she actually like me? Was she really blushing?

Y/N's pov:

I was trying to flirt with him I really was but I think he just didn't get my signals. Seeing that I'm not a funny person every joke that I tried to make just didn't land and it only made things more akward between us.
