The Killer Duo// Mattheo Riddle

Part 24

   2 months later

Aaron and I have been dating for 2 months and I would say it's good. If you ask anybody else they would say we are not a good match. They would say the only thing we have in common is reading books, or say he's clingy while I'm emotionless. I'm not emotionless, I just do not care. I know I don't show how much I appreciate Aaron that much so I planned a picnic, in the Forbidden Forest, for Aaron and me. I walked towards Aaron's dorm with a picnic basket in my hand ready for him to be surprised, I knock once then walk in.

"Hey Aar-" I cut off my sentence when I looked up and saw Greengrass making out with Aaron, which is now Rosier. They both looked at me, one was smirking and the other one was about to say 'I can explain'. I did the only thing I could do, slap him. I walked over towards Rosier and slapped him as hard as I could, his head turned to the side as his hand went to his cheek.

"Pathetic little asswhole" I yelled at him as I grabbed the picnic basket and walked out of the dorm. I looked around and saw every boy looking at me like I was crazy,

"Cheater" I explained then headed to my dorm, how could he do this? I know I wasn't a perfect girlfriend but I was not that bad. I ran into someone and looked up to see who it was,

"Are you crying?" Asked Daphne

"No," I said, I realized I was when I felt a tear slip down my cheek, shit.

"Come on," said Daphne dragging me up to my dorm and sitting me down on the bed

"He cheated, just get the pity over," I said getting ready for her to give me sorrowful looks

"He didn't deserve you anyway," she said rubbing my back

"Nobody does" I mumbled laying down

"That's not true, you'll find someone"

"What if I don't want to find someone anymore"

"That's not true, it just takes time"

"I hate time," I said propping myself up on my elbows, my tears had stopped and my eyes felt red and tired.

"I'm just going to rest, thanks Daph," I said

"No problem, if you need anything tell me," she said walking out of the room

I lay looking at the ceiling for hours until I decided to go to the Astronomy Tower to get fresh air. I walked up there and saw Riddle sitting on the stone floor with his feet hanging off the tower with a cigarette in his mouth. I walked over by him and sat down, he passed me the cigarette and I inhaled the smoke then blew out.

"What happened?" He said

"He cheated," I said as he snapped his head towards me to see my emotion "I'm fine, you should know it was with your girl though"

"My girl?" He asked confused

"Greengrass," I said

"She's not my girl" he mumbled

"Have you ever been in love?" I asked suddenly, I didn't expect him to answer

"Yeah. Astoria Greengrass, last year" I looked at him shocked he fell in love

"Oh my god she's such a priss" I laughed

"Turns out, actually not," he said

"Still in love with Greengrass?" I asked him

"No"

"Why not?"

"Because I think I found somebody a little better for me, it's crazy, this girl you know the one that I like. It's somebody that I didn't even talk to as a friend but an enemy, maybe it's because all the guys would make fun of me or I wouldn't keep up my reputation of the 'emotionless killer'. It's stupid I mean when I think of it I should've been with this girl the whole time. And first of all, she's hilarious, she's so funny, I feel like this year I have laughed harder than any other moment of my life. And she's smart, way smarter than me, you know she can crack secret Hogwarts codes" he laughed as he looked up at the stars

"Wow, was all that true?" I asked

"Not the first part, I haven't been in love with anybody, but I think this girl might have changed that" he shrugged

"Well, this girl must be amazing if you talk about her like that," I said taking the cigarette from him

"She is," he said looking at me

"Can I guess who it is?" I asked trying to figure out who we were talking about

"No, now you have to answer," he said snatching the cigarette from me and putting it out

"I don't think I have ever loved before, I have loved people as friends but not as romantic," I said thinking

"Oh, well there is this one guy, he hates me but I have a soft spot for him. His smile makes me smile because it's rare. He's very protective, I heard he slammed a guy against the wall because he was objecting to me. Oh, and he tries to hide that he's a softy but under that rough mask is a boy who just needs somebody. He gets shy when you confront him about reading muggle books and is way too stubborn for his own good" I laughed as Riddle looked angry at me.

"What?" I asked

"You move on quick, don't you?" He said, "Who is this guy?" He said looking at me

"Can't tell, it's a secret" I said standing up

"Goodnight, Romeo"

"Goodnight, Juliet," he said, I stopped and looked at him.

"You said it" I smiled shocked

"Yes, it's not that big of a deal-" I interrupted him by hugging him, I wrapped my arms around his neck as he slowly wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Thank you" I whispered

"For what?" He said confused

"For making me smile" I whispered, I felt him smile as I backed away from the hug. I walked down the stairs, and I did not think of getting cheated on. Did not think about my problems. All I thought about was how I just hugged Mattheo Riddle, my enemy, that is not such an enemy.
