Greeting

It wasn't hard to let go of everything you were going through, to distract yourself for a moment using your book, which you where reading as you sat comfortably under one of the arches of the cloister.

The sun was pleasantly faint at that hour of the afternoon, the air sweet with the scent of grass. Your back was against the stone pillar as you sat on the small wall beneath the arches, your hair moving with the soft breeze.

And, for a moment, you forgot everything that's been happening in your life, involving that jerk called Mattheo. Matteo Riddle.

You two met a few weeks ago and you had your first proper conversation with him, even though you already knew who he was. He was pretty popular among the students, being the son of the Dark Lord and a clever Slytherin. You'd have never expected it, but he was nice. He wasn't as bad as some gryffindors made him and, plus, he was a really good looking guy.

He entered your head, made your mind his, he captured you with his sly words and clever answers, with his dark eyes and white teeth.

But he's been acting rather confusingly with you. First he talks with you, acting nice. Then, he's an ass, he avoids you then he texts you about the guy you were talking with— as if he has the right to say something about it. He's kind to you, then he's uninviting.

You didn't like how he was acting lately, so you showed him. Distance and coldness were your weapons to fight his own occasional iciness. But it was exactly then, when you where sure you would get a moment of peace, that you heard his voice.

"That a good book?" He asked. He was leaning his side against a tree, looking at you with that slight smirk on his lips. You looked up, meeting his gaze with a confused expression on your face.

"Shouldn't you be in detention with Snape?" You asked him, not answering his question at all. At that, he walked slowly towards you, never looking away.

"I uh.. sneaked out to try to find you" He said in a whispery tone, putting his arm against the stone pillar and looking down at you.
