The Hufflepuff niffler's strange day.
It was a day like any other, I was hanging out with my friend Brooke at the school's cafeteria. Well I guess it is better called, THE GREAT HALL. I was eating as normal looking over at the Slytherin table, where this guy was always staring me down. I don't know why he would stare me down like that, I never did anything to him. Hell I never even spoke to him before or even knew his name. As I was zoned out at this guy Brooke said out of nowhere.
"I wonder, Y/N... Do you think my lips are big?"
I turned my head the other way at her, just to see her doing the ducks lips at me. I could see the glossy rose gold lipstick shining at me, she kinda looked like a Scad's lips when she did that. Which in turn made me laugh out loud, I always hated my laughter. It made me sound like a damn horse or something, yet Brooke always seemed happy when I laughed. Our laughter could be heard in the whole hall yet again. It was almost daily for me now, where the both of us would laugh so loud at the stupidest of things.
Huff. It was a clear annoyance response from the Slytherin table, I looked over and of course it was him. His face all red as he looked away, his friends or gang laughing at him. Brown hair flopping a bit as he looked back at me and Brooke, his eyes darker than the deepest of sea, well okay maybe more like mud? Since his eyes were anything but blue. Brooke shrugged it off as always, flipping her blond hair to the side as she tried to spoon feed me chicken feet. I grossed out laughed and took her spoon with the weird source of skin and flesh, putting it down on her plate before sighing.
...
It was about noon or so when me and Brooke were walking in the hallway. Me in front of her as we talked, it was break or something before the clubs started... Or was it class? I can't remember. It snowed outside the windows as we passed, it was almost sparkling, seeing it fall down ever so slowly like a movie scene. The small non-existent twinkle noises came everytime they shined at me. The cold stone floor would clack everytime I took another step with my flats. Brooke was rampling about some new spell she had to learn, while I was focused on annoying her.
"Oh come onnn Brooke! It's snowing outside." I pouted and turned around, looking at her while walking backwards. My hands behind my back, fiddling with my nails.
"I don't know Y/N... I have a bad feeling I might fail today's test."
I chuckled and tried to clap her on the shoulder, but one problem was that the school bell started to ring. Huh... I guess it was still class time. The hallways came packed with students from every house. Brooke was nowhere to be seen by me, so I turned around and sighed. Well that was until...
"Wait wait, uhm Merlin."
With all that twirling I did, I was surprised I didn't become dizzy. But when I finally came to focus on who it was I could only say. I was in pure shock and bliss?
"Look I really, and I mean REALLY like you and I was wondering if you wanted to go to the yule ball with me? Please...?"
Flowers were almost at my face as he handed them to me, I tried to remember his name. Was it Eliot? Not too basic of a name, was it Emma? Wait no, it was not a girl named focus Y/N. It hit me like a truck when I finally remembered Lorenzo, but Enzo for short. Good now I didn't completely seem like a rude person.
He seemed ever so desperate for this whole exchange, I could see the shine of sweat on the back of his hands. I wanted to sigh so bad and tell him to sod off, yet I didn't. I made an ever so fake chuckle and took the flowers. "Well that would be a weird explanation for why you have been staring at me and Brooke... And being weird towards me. Not to mention the death stare? That was straight up terrifying not gonna lie."
Brown eyes met mine, as he finally got the courage to at least look me in the eyes. His lips twitched. He probably wanted to say something, but couldn't say it out loud? The white in his eyes was bigger than usual too. I didn't really have time for any of this so I just said the word 'sure' and walked off. Hoping I could find Brooke and tell her about the whole thing later.
