ENZO HAD NEVER EXPECTED TO HAVE A FIGHT WITH ESMIE.
The day had started like any other. He, Esmie, and Danielle had gone to breakfast together, their usual lighthearted banter filling the air as they laughed and chatted with their friends. Mattheo was, as always, quietly observing the group while indulging in his breakfast, his sharp gaze catching subtle details. He noticed, with a slight frown, that Esmie wasn't really eating. Danielle, sitting beside her, had picked up on it too, her usual quiet demeanour masking her concern.
"I want to know more about you and Mattheo, Gen," Esmie said suddenly, breaking through the usual chatter. The shift in tone caught everyone's attention. Her words were directed at Genevieve, who immediately turned red at the sudden attention. Mattheo's smirk spread across his face as he leaned back, clearly enjoying Genevieve's flustered reaction.
"More? Like what?" Genevieve asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she picked at her breakfast, but her blush betrayed her.
Esmie stirred the pineapple in her yogurt before glancing between Genevieve and Mattheo. "Like how you met, how you got together. You know... all the details." She finally took a bite, her curiosity piqued.
Genevieve hesitated, her eyes flickering toward Mattheo, who gave her an almost imperceptible nod. "Well... we didn't exactly meet at that Slytherin party like everyone thinks," she admitted, her blush deepening. "We actually met in the Forbidden Forest during my fifth year. Mattheo was in his sixth."
Esmie's spoon paused midway to her mouth, her head snapping up to look between them. "Wait... what?" She turned her attention to Enzo, a look of surprise crossing her face. "You told me they met at the Slytherin party."
"I thought they did," Enzo replied, a bewildered shrug lifting his shoulders.
Genevieve let out a nervous chuckle. "No, that's just when we decided to go public. We had been... sneaking around for a while before that."
Esmie's eyes widened as the pieces fell into place. "So you two had a secret relationship, and none of us noticed?" She looked genuinely impressed.
Mattheo smirked, leaning back in his chair with an air of smugness. "We were pretty good at it. Sneaking around made it all the more exciting."
