15 | my racing heart

"Yes he was!"

"Jessica honey," Pansy says. "He told everyone he wasn't. I think you took it the wrong way."

"Well I'm not angry at him anyway, I'm more angry at you Jaya, you're a fucking sly bitch." She spits and I've immediately had enough. I stand up from my seat and lean over the table, gripping onto her collar and pulling her head up to look at me.

"I think it's time to shut your gob Jessica. You talk too much."

"YOU SLAG!" She shouts and my fist instantly swings for her face, my knuckles colliding with her nose. Blood begins to seep from her nose and she stands up in shock, tumbling backwards and trying her best to get away from me. I take a deep breath and sit back down, everyone looking at me wide eyed, and I look around at them confused, until my friends and the students crowding around begin to cheer as Jessica runs out of the hall.

"Stupid bitch." I mutter under my breath, pouring in a drink for myself, and putting my food in my plate.

"Oh thank god she's finally fucked off." Enzo let's out a breath, sitting down with us now, and I glance over to the boys further down who begin to stand up and come sit with us. Riddle takes a seat beside me, and I attempt to budge away in disgust.

I suddenly feel his hand snake around my waist, and he pulls me back next to him, until my shoulders touch his, and my thighs touch his legs. He removes his hand off of me, and sits there with his arms crossed with a blank expression across his face.

I swear I feel a weird feeling in my stomach as my heart begins to race.

He isn't what you thought he was Jaya. Remember that.

"That was mental Jaya, never knew you could throw a punch like that." Blaise says to me and I smile.

"I knew she could. And you guys would too if you actually attended her martial arts classes last year like I did." Enzo sits up straight, looking proud of himself.

"Love you Enzo." I blow him a kiss. Theo sits opposite me and I notice him looking at me, and I attempt to maintain the eye contact but Riddle's knee knocks into my leg. I look at him confused.

"Do you reckon Jessica's gonna come running back to us?" Tori asks and I scoff.

"If she does she's getting another fist to the face. I've had enough of her." I tell Tori. The group begins to chat amongst themselves and I let out a breath, but then wonder why I'm still sat right next to Riddle. I attempt to budge the other way but then realise I'm sandwiched between Enzo and Riddle, with no room to move. Great.

He's done this on purpose.

"Had any more dreams princess?" He asks suddenly, whispering lowly into my ear. My rage builds up again and I look at him frustrated.

"No. I've never dreamt about you." I answer him back.

"I know that's a lie Jaya." He smirks.

"Don't go round spreading rumours."

"Who said I haven't already?" He taunts and I'm about to stand up and leave, but suddenly his hand meets my thigh, with a tight grip that pushes me back down. "Relax."

Relax?

"You irritate me." I whisper, but can't help to notice Theo watching me, as well as Riddle's veiny hand that rests on my thigh for a moment too long, before he moves it away.

"So, Riddle. How you finding Hogwarts?" Theo speaks up out of no where, and the whole group silences and turns to see this unfold.

"Great. It's been fun." He smirks, and his knee pushes against mine slightly.

"What did you even say to Jessica to make her cry like that?" Pansy asks, trying to change the subject. "Surely it's not just over the picture."

"Made out with her then told her to fuck off when she got too clingy." He shrugs, taking MY drink and having a sip.

He's such a player. Yeah I hate Jessica, but what he did wasn't right.

"What so just like you did to Jaya? Slept with her then told her to fuck off?" Theo asks and my jaw drops, looking at him with absolute shock and disgust.

That's not the Theo I knew.

"I never slept with him, what?"

"I mean she did sleep in my bed." Riddle shrugs and I knock my knees hard into his. Of course he has to worsen the situation.

"I was drunk, but nothing happened." I tell Theo and he looks at me blankly, not responding.

"Thanks Riddle." I say angrily, looking up at him, but he only responds by turning his lips upwards.

That fucking smirk.
