~talking to a friend~

-Maria-

It amazes me how things can change your perspective so quickly.

Kissing Enzo changed how I see him, Although we've kissed before this was different.

I don't even know how to act around him, just thinking about him is getting me extremely anxious and I don't know why.

I hear a few soft knocks snapping me from my thoughs. "It's open" I yell exhaustively.

The girl I least expected came in with a soft smile.

"What brings you here Hermione?" I ask sitting myself up from my bed.

"Well you didn't attend class so I came to deliver your homework." she hands me a stack of papers.

"Sorry I got a tad bit carried away." She clears her throat as I look at the work with a few answers written in.

"Thank you" I smile politely, although I couldn't help but notice the girl seemed to have more on her mind.

"Care to stay?" I ask with hesitation hoping I didn't get the wrong impression.

"I don't want to annoy you." she shakes her head with a dry chuckle.

"Nonsense have a seat" I nod reassuringly, I've noticed Hermione is the type of girl that feels like she's always imposing on eveyone.

She awkwardly takes a seat on the corner of my bed fiddling with her fingers. Me and Hermione have talked here and there occasionally hence the reason for the awkward tension.

"What's up with you Granger?" I question in a enthusiastic tone trying to get her more comfortable and less tense.

"Well, I need help." she replies with a anxious look. "It may sound silly but I need help with a boy." she laughs looking back to me.

"Ah i see."

I knew the exact boy she was talking about, based off the way she looks at him I knew for a fact it was Ron.

I've heard rumors about her and Harry although I never picked up that vibe. They had more of a brother and sister relationship nothing more.

"I just don't know what to do! I mean do I like him do I not?" She starts. "He can be so bloody stubborn and Merlin he is cluless." She rambles in frustration tossing her hands over her head.

"You just want to know how you feel towards him." I chime in.

"Exactly!" she sighs.

"Yup I know exactly how you feel." I nod starting to zone out as thoughts of Enzo fill my mind.

"Well I'll tell you what, dress amazing and play hard to get, act like you're having the time of your life. We will show Ron what he's missing." I nudge her shoulder playfully.

her face turned bright red at the mention of Ron's name. "What makes you think it's Ron" she questions with her eyebrows furrowed.
