A/n - this song goes with this chapter, in my opinion, ofc <3

Somehow I make it through the day. I haven't had any trouble with Mattheo. I mean, yeah, we've sat next to each other once or twice but he hasn't said a word, I haven't said a word. But I think if I did, I would start sobbing.

I walk to Blaise's dorm. He wasn't there yet so I figured I would change into more comfortable clothes so I could go to the library.

I change into a really big hoodie, and sweatpants and I throw my hair up in a messy bun. I grab my laptop and shove it in my bag and go to the Great Hall for dinner before going to the library.

I run down the stairs to the common room. I was looking down at my feet, counting the steps. 15..16..17..18-

"Mattheo, baby, I love you." I hear, I look up from the steps and see Astoria with Mattheo on the couch.

Instead of getting sad, I get angry. I don't know why. I push all the anger deep down and walk out of the common room.

When I get to the Great Hall, I'm greeted by an angry Enzo.

"Hey, Enzo, you alr-" I try to speak but instead I'm pushed out into the corridor and into the boy's bathrooms.

"Did you hear what happened? Draco raped somebody. And he's getting expelled for it. I'm angry because me and him used to be the best of friends. But he's a pretentious douchebag now. God, I hope that girls okay."

My heart sinks into my stomach. I feel like I'm going to choke on my words if I try to speak. All the color drains from my face, I felt it. I stay silent.

"You alright Y/n?"

I nod.

"Are you sure?"

I nod again.

"You don't look too good, do you want to go to the hospital wing?"

I shake my head.

"Well we should go eat some food, we are still studying later, right?"

I nod and smile.

"Alright, let's go." He intertwines his hand with mine and drags me out of the boy's bathroom and into the Hall.

The doors open and I feel all the eyes on me and Berkshire.

I hear whispers all around, and glares from some people. Why is it such a big deal that I'm holding his hand?

Lorenzo leads me to the Ravenclaw table and we both sit down.

I get food on my plate, but I barely eat any. My mind just kept replaying what Lorenzo was talking about in the bathroom.

He's so worried about that girl, when "that girl" is me.

"Are you sure you're okay Cooper? You look sick to your stomach."

"I'm fine, I just- I can't be in here anymore" I explain.

I run out of the Great Hall and to the library. Enzo will find his way here at some point.

*An hour later*

I've been working on the essay for about an hour now. I'm actually almost done with it. I thought Enzo would be here by now. Considering it was 6:57. And we agreed on being here at 6.

But, why do I care? I work better alone anyway.

My phone vibrates on the table. I was getting a call.

The name read "Theo❣️"

I roll my eyes and hit decline.

I go back to writing. My phone started vibrating again.
