This Was A Mistake | Mattheo Riddle X Reader

chapter 10

"I don't know either love. Let's just leave her alone for a bit. I think what she needs is to be alone right now."

"Yeah with her boyfriend." I added.

"Let's talk about something else. Adrian and I decided to match our outfits tomorrow night! Like a cute couple thing!" she quickly changed the subject.

"Aw, Daph. That's so cute!" I said in awe.

We walked into the great hall and sat down at the far edge of the Slytherins table instead of where we usually sit for breakfast.

"It's going to take me a while to get used to his cocky attitude, but I think it'll be worth it if it's gonna piss off Malfoy." I smirked at Daphne as we sat down in the same spot for dinner.

I hadn't seen Mattheo all day. He was absent in all our classes together. Typical.

"Is he taking you to the party tomorrow night at least? Everyone is going!" she asked me as she dropped some food onto her plate.

"I assume so. I think?" I answered.

A very small group of random stoner boys we'd seen a few times before came and seat by us. I realized that Mattheo was apart of that group.

"Look who's coming!" she whispered at me. I turned my head to the side and saw Mattheo already sitting a few feet beside me with his small friend group.

"Um hi, what are you doing here?" I looked at him as he added some food to his plate.

"What are you doing here? I sit here everyday." he said while he turned his head to make eye contact with me.

"I'm sitting here because I want to?" I shook my head and turned back to face daphne.

"You know, you should really stop having such a fuss, Esmeray." he said to me.

"Yeah well right now, I couldn't give two shits what you think I should do, Riddle." I rolled my eyes at him. Just a few seconds after I said that, my blood was boiling again.

"I don't think I'm hungry anymore." he said, getting up and leaving.

"Hold on." I immediately got up and started following him out of the great hall.

"So is it my fault your not hungry? Is that what you're saying?!" I asked behind him. "Oh, Maya." I heard him let out a laugh under his breath as he sighed.

"I told you not to call me that! You really think this is funny?!" I followed him into the common room. "Bit, yeah." he said ahead of me.

I was now really upset by Mattheo. I didn't even care who he was, I wasn't afraid of him as of now. I followed him all the way into his dorm, "So you're following me into my dorm now?" he said as he held his wooden door open for me. "Shouldn't be an issue, is it? In fact, you're holding it right open for me!"

"Quite frankly, I don't care." he slammed the door behind him and took his robe off, hanging it on a hanger in his wardrobe full of mostly dark, neutral clothing.

He had his own dorm room, it looked like any other Slytherin prefects room. Old patterned walls. Same desk and wardrobe.

It smelled like him except, no cigarette smell. Just him minus the smoke.

I walked over to him, "You're full of shit!" I slapped him, leaving a red imprint of my hand on his cheek.

He looked back at me, jaw clenched, then he pushed me all the way against the wall, keeping eye contact with me.
