I enter the classroom to find none other than dumb and dumber seated next to the only empty table left in the classroom. I make my way over and slam my textbook down on the table to make it known that I'm already over this class, especially since Mattheo Riddle is in it. He's such a spineless fuck boy, thinking he can get any girl he lays his eyes on. It's disgusting honestly.

I snap back to reality once Professor Snape enters the classroom and begins his lesson. 

"Class.. I'd like to make it very clear to you that I will accept no funny business in my classroom," Professor Snape announces. 

Mattheo chuckles under his breath at Snape's comment. 

"Stay focused, please, Mr. Riddle. I'd hate to give you detention on your first day of class," Snape threatens as he raises his eyebrow and lowers his gaze in annoyance, followed by Mattheo quickly adjusting himself and sitting straight up in his chair. 

Little bitch needs some hardcore instruction in his life.

Draco, sitting beside him, nudges Mattheo with his elbow and shakes his head, laughing quietly. 

Draco is holding what looks like a piece of paper in his hand and I see him out of the corner of my eye as he blows it in my direction, making sure nobody is looking beforehand.. Not even Mattheo. It lands directly in front of me on the table. I quickly reach for it and open it underneath the table so that Snape doesn't see. 

Meet me in the Astronomy Tower tonight after dinner -Malfoy. 

I look over at Draco and his focus is now on his Potions textbook. I hide the note in the right side pocket of my robe and open my textbook to follow along with what Snape is instructing at the front of the classroom. We study over the Veritaserum potion and take notes for next week's quiz. Snape discussed that we would eventually get to make the Veritaserum potion if we choose to behave in his class. 

Mattheo Riddle will be the class's downfall. 

Roughly an hour later, Potions class concludes and I quickly grab my textbook to rush out of the class, hoping to skip out on potential conversation with Mattheo the Magnificent.  

As I am exiting the classroom, I am greeted by none other than the famous Harry Potter

"Eden.. How is your first day going so far?"  He asks. 

I brush the loose ends of hair out of my face before responding. "It's going great, Potter." 

He looks at me, surprised, then proceeds to offer me a full tour of the castle, but I politely shake my head no. "I think I'll manage."

"Well, alright. I'll be around should you decide you need that tour. It was nice speaking with you." He says awkwardly. I flash him a half smile and begin to walk in the opposite direction. 

What an awkward introduction..

The "Chosen One" my ass. He can't even form a simple sentence. I laugh to myself.

As my first day at Hogwarts goes on, I have Transfiguration with Professor McGonagall and then Flying 101 with Madam Hooch. 

After my flying class, I am free to roam the grounds as I please, so I head to the library to study my notes from Snape's class earlier today. I do a little bit of reading over the Veritaserum potion in my Potions textbook and other provided information displayed around the library and proceed to take more notes over the content. 

As I'm minding my own business, I hear an annoying laugh coming from the entrance.

Who could it possibly be? 

I roll my eyes already knowing exactly who it is. I hear footsteps approaching the back of my chair and try to pretend that I don't hear them when out of nowhere, Mattheo sits down in the chair next to me.

"What could possible be so interesting?" 

"I'm just studying my notes from Snape's class today,"  I tell him, trying to get him off of my back. 

He bites his bottom lip and forms a subtle O shape with his mouth before he replies. "I love a girl that studies. Would you like for me to study you, sweetheart?" Feeling a sudden rush of annoyance, I pull my reading glasses down off of my face, bite down on the tip, and stare deeply into his eyes.. 

If he wants to play that game.. I'll just make him want it even more. At the end of the day, he will NEVER have me anyway.

"You'd like that wouldn't you, Riddle," I say to him out of frustration. I love making him work for it. If he's going to be the player, he'll have to deal with the damn coach. 

Mattheo raises an eyebrow and inches himself closer to me. "You seriously have no idea how sexy you are, do you?" 

My heart starts to beat faster and faster. I let out a quiet breath and pull him closer to me by his tie. "Trust me, I know, and you will never have the chance to see more than what you already do now." 

As I finish that sentence, I roughly release my grip on him which sends him flying back into his chair. I glance over and watch as he readjusts his tie, eyes completely wide, before I grab my textbook, push my glasses up so that they rest on top of my head, and make my way to the exit. 

As I begin making my way back to the Slytherin Common Room, I think about how much I can't wait to see Draco tonight without his bitch.
