first day of the fifth year and i was already running late. it's all blaise's fault. if only he had stop teasing me about samaira and let me sleep peacefully. which reminds me, i didn't do my hair properly but i still look alright i guess.

 i entered the classroom just in time and took a seat at the very back of the class. i had defense of dark arts with hufflepuff which meant i was sharing the class with samaira but she was nowhere to be seen. the new dada teacher, umbridge started the class with that sickly sweet smile on her face.

weirdly, she makes me feel uncomfortable.

a knock on the door grabbed everyone's attention in the room and my eyes followed the scene to find samaira standing by the door. her hair was still in a messy bun which im guessing she probably didn't brush as she was running late. her tie hung loosely around her neck and her mascara wasn't done properly either. 

still, she looked beautiful as always. her honey brown skin gleamed in the sunlight adding to her unreal beauty.

she apologized for being late and hurried inside the classroom, spotting the empty seat next to me.

not again. no.

i tried to keep my face neutral as she took the place next to mine, brushing the loose strands of her hair away. for the first five minutes, i couldn't heard umbridge over the loud thumping of my heart in my ears.

"there will be no use of wands." as soon as umbridge spoke those words, the class erupted in chaos. samaira groaned from beside me making me steal a glance at her once.

"she's crazy." samaira muttered under her breath before meeting my gaze. i immediately looked away without a word and started praying for my sanity. i don't have any idea how she has this effect on me. i was literally drenched in sweat the whole class as she kept on asking me stuffs she couldn't note down.

out of nowhere i found her hands brushing through my hair making me stumble back. i was shocked and frightened.

i gave her a questioning gaze but i soon received my answer when my eyes fell on a spider crawling away from where i sat.

the fucking spider. i looked back at her and passed her a small smile, my cheeks and ears literally on fire.

"are you okay?" she frowned, reaching out to check my temperature. electricity surged through my vein as soon as her hand came in contact with my forehead. i'm not exaggerating ; her hands were cold.

"you're burning up." she commented making me blink twice. how do i explain it to her that i am not sick.

"it's nothing." i muttered, gently pushing her head away and trying to concentrate back on what umbridge was saying. i stole a glance at her to find her lips drawn in a thin line and i knew she was upset with my behavior. i did feel bad but it was really strange for her to care for me. it was weird and what just happened terrified me.

"sorry." she spoke up with a sigh, making me look at her with a big frown on my face,"that must have startled you."

"it's really fine." i shrugged, drawing my lips into a thin smile.

"no talking in my class." umbridge called out, eyeing the two students at the very back ; i and samaira.

i tore my gaze away from the hufflepuff beauty and concentrated on the class i was starting to dread.

"she's the most boring D.A.D.A teacher we have ever head." samaira spoke up again.

i noticed ; she talks a lot.

i couldn't help but nod my head while scribbling down some stuffs on my notebook. she huffed and pushed the strands of her hair away before copying down whatever i had written.

"wow, you're boring as well." she pouted while copying down from my notebook.

"yeah." i absent-mindedly nodded having no idea why we were having a conversation in the first place. "i used to think slytherins are cool." she continued making me a chuckle slightly.

"well, you're wrong."

"students at the very back─"

shit, no.

"i would like you two to stand up and respectfully make your way out of my class. seems like you two have a lot to discuss." umbridge smiled forcefully and then looked at the rest of the class,"let's not disturb them."

light, muffled chuckles and some 'oohsss' filled the class making me flushed. i glanced next to samaira who looked ready to object but said nothing and stood up on her feet.

 i had no idea what to do so i looked over at umbridge to apologize but walking out seemed better when i noticed her glare my way. 

i packed up my things and slung my bag over my shoulders before following samaira out.

"wow, i really got kicked out from the very first class. great start." i muttered to myself, feeling slightly irritated for some reason.

"you and me both." samaira smiled nervously,"i'm sorry about it."

i just shrugged in response and looked at her. she really looked so beautiful standing by the doorway making me smile slightly. she raised her eyebrows at me and frowned,"do i have something on my face?"

i smiled slightly and unknowingly replied,"yes, beauty." 

a/n : wow, cringe. but i love it🕴️
