"I- I'm sorry."

"You're sorry? I hate looking in the mirror because of you, but you're sorry so it's fine."

"Huh? You're beautiful, what do you mean?"

I stop for a second. What is happening? What did Tom just say?

Since the moment I've met him, he has been nothing but nasty to me and now he's... telling me I'm beautiful. What?

"I- I don't know why I'm like this to you... You're such a good person, you're everything I'm not and I can't take that. I don't resent you, I kind of admire you. I- Look, I don't know what I'm saying, I'm just sorry. I think you're beautiful and I just switch when I'm around you. I promise that I'm not that bad of a person. I... I really, really want you to forgive me and... we'll cross another bridge when we get there."

-

I have a lot of thinking to do, forgiving Tom and all that. He's been really good to me recently though.

I can tell that he wants to be more than just friends, but again, I have lots of thinking to do.

He is a good guy. We'll see, anyway.

After lunch, I had a free period so I decided to spend some time in the courtyard studying for some upcoming exams.

I sat down, opening my laptop snd picking a film to watch while studying. I decided, and then went to get my books in my bag, only to realise I forgot them in the great hall.

I quickly got up, laptop in hand and jogged back to the great hall. Ironically, I bumped into someone.

I fell on the ground; I was jogging snd theh were walking so the impact made that happen.

Luckily, my laptop stayed in it's case and landed on top of me.

And, because I'm the luckiest person on earth, it was Malfoy.

The boy that had despised me since we had met. I had never even done anything to him, but what I gathered was that he was just a bad person.

"Y/n... let me help you up." He says, smirking at his friends and reaching his hand out for me to take.

I raise a brow, but take his hand anyway.

He brings me up at a little and I relax, but then he leta go of my hand and I fall back down with a thump.

He starts laughing with his friends and I'm so embarrassed. But in like a millisecond, the embarrassment turned into anger.

I quickly got up, but the tears streaming down my face were unmistakable.

I jogged away to the great hall, but I didn't get far before someone grabbed my wrist.

Who do you think?

Malfoy.

I sniffed, tears still fresh

"Y/n, wait. Don't cry."

I scoff, anger rising. "What do you want, Draco! You've humiliated me enough!" I said, still crying.

I'm so embarrassed. What he did was embarrassing for me and I was pissed.

"I'm sorry, okay? It hurts to see you cry because of something I did."

I scoffed again, is he taking the mick?

"Gosh, you don't even know. I cry every night because of you! Everything that you say and do hurts! Why do you keep doing this?"

He hesitated, looking back at his friends. "They make me do this... I swear. I promise I'll stop. J- Just please forgive me. Don't cry because of me, it's not worth it."
