Cleo's POV

"Um, I was clearly here first so I obviously deserve to get it"

"Um, I was here second but I want it more than you," he said mimicking me.

"Well I'm sorry you were inside your compartment losing around while I was actually outside here before you and I already got out my money so I think I should get it"

"Well, I'm sorry but I can actually do really horrible things to you if you don't let me take the dam chocolate frog"

"Oh really like what?" I said to him raising one eyebrow and crossing my arms across my chest. 

He suddenly took 2 steps towards me and gently lifted my chin up so my eyes met his. I could see that there was something in his eyes that I had recognized instantly. 

Lust. 

....

ew. 

Anyways 

He hovered his lips over my ear and whispered huskily, "Do you really want to know?" 

I instantly blushed red. 

He pulled back looking down at my chest (that still had my arms crossed over them) and his eyes seemed to get more hungry. I removed my hands from my chest stepping back and blushing even redder (IF that was possible) 

Suddenly, Bianca cleared her throat. 

Ok not gonna lie I completely forgot she was here.

"Um...you guys know you can just share right?" 

Me and Hayden looked at each other then looked back at Bianca. 

"Do you even know how PRECIOUS these things are?" Carter said with fury in his tone. "And how long I've been collecting the cards?" 

"Um......no?" Bianca replied a little puzzled and scared. 

"Well then I don't think you get to tell me what and what not I can share"

She raised her hands above her head and just left. I glared at Hayden and he glared back. We probably had this 'staring contest' for around 2 minutes and I suddenly broke eye contact cause it was a little too intense for me. 

"You lost" he smirked. 

"Mhm," I replied still looking away. Where the fuck did that confidence from 5 minutes ago disappear Cleo? SERIOUSLY CONFIDENCE I NEED YOU RIGHT NOW THIS SECOND AND IT'S AN ORDER! 

My confidence obviously did not reply back cause well.....it can't....... you know talk. 

You are so stupid Cleo Hendrix, you know that right?  my conscience said to me in my head. 

I'm aware brain, I replied to it in my head. 

Good. 

"Uh hello, Cleo?" Hayden said waving his hand in front of my face. 

"Yeah sorry, I blank out often" I replied quietly shaking my head to shut my stupid brain up. 

Hey, I'm not stu-

Not the time brain 

He chuckles and smiles a cute smile at me, "You're pretty cute you know?"

I blush once again (the number of times I blush is uncountable but I can't help it okay?) and suddenly just run out of the place and went to where Bianca was, which was in the separate compartment we were in before. 

When I entered she just stared at me for 3 seconds (in which I sat down next to her) which was kinda sus...

Then she suddenly started squealing and shaking me which was extra extra sus. 

I think we have an imposter here. (A/N LMAO IM SORRY GUYS UWU~)

"OHMAGAWDYOUANDHAYDENARESOCUTE"

"Uh~"

"EEEEEEEEEeEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEee" 

"You do realize we just met like an hour ago right?"

"WELL YOU GUYS ARE STILL ADORABLE" 

"I-" 

I was cut off by the train stopping. 

FINALLY, that was the longest train ride I've ever been on

I know right? Finally, something you can agree with me on.

"We will have a talk about this later" she ended the topic as she winked at me. 

great how exciting. 

We met up with the rest of the group outside the train while we were moving to the carriages that take us to the great halls. It's rumored that some weird creatures pull them but it's probably some kinda spell. 

Throughout the whole ride Bianca, Leo, and I talked about anything and everything like how we were not looking forward to start studying but were happy to be with all our friends. 

Well... at least them. 

But, I'm happy I have finally made one friend who seems amazing.
