Chapter 56: 'just friends' once more..

I promsied so I'll deliver.

Bellas pov-

"Seriously?" he asks me as he pours the boiling water into the cauldron.

"Ow!" i say because he poured the boiling water too close, causing steaming water to trickle down my hand.

"Are you okay?" he says grabbing my hand and seeing the burn, holding my hand in his. I would pull it away but it sort of soothed the pain but regardless, my eyes teared up,"im so sorry, i forgot your hand was there, i can take you to the hospital wing-"

"No, its fine" i say pulling my hand away and rubbing the burning feeling away,"itll stop hurting sooner or later"

I stir the concoction with my wand in my unburnt hand.

"Isabella im sorry-" he begins again.

"Its fine mattheo, its just a burn" i say.

"No, not that, i mean im sorry about friday... and saturday for that matter." mattheo says,"i didnt mean to upset you i just-"

"Can we not talk about this now?" i sigh.

"Depends if you're just going to run away from me after class" he says smartly.

I roll my eyes at him as i pick up a vile and funnel.

"So?" he asks.

"Mattheo, we both know that im just going to run away and ignore you again so whats the point in asking?"

"Well, if you wont talk to me today, how about tomorrow, you can be my valentine as i take you out on a romantic evening dinner while we discuss why you hate me ever so much" mattheo smiles.

"Who said I wanted to be your valentine?! And this is what i mean! You didnt even want to talk to me before friday!" I ask confused.

"You see, you keep saying that but i was talking to you before the dance before your boyfriend stole you from me." he says as i get the utensil to scoop the potion into the vile.

"He's not my boyfriend." i correct him.

"But thats not the point" he says.

"Fine. but still, i dont like you" i say.

"What?" he laughs handing me the cork lid.

"You shouldnt have told me about friday!" i say as i sit back in my seat, finished with my potion.

"I didnt, and your the one who wanted to know. Lets just act like nothing happened though, alright?" he asks.

"Sure" i smile.

Time skip *the next day*

We didn't have too many classes but 2 since it was Valentine's day.

After class I find Mattheo outside waiting for me.

"Hello, darling," he smirks,"ready for our date?"

Date? I didn't agree to be his Valentine. But what else did I have to do? Everyone else was in dates with their partners and I might as well.

"Of course" I smile as I take his hand, walking outside while talking about the meaningless things in life.

"-I know! And flowers don't even smell that nice either! They smell like fucking grass, might as well just hand your date a bouquet of weeds." I laugh.

"I'm glad you feel that way because that's exactly what I got you." He says.

"You- you did?" I ask confused.
