- kind of angsty?? Not really idk. Also this is not exactly what I picture Mattheo Riddle as but I just wanted to make this prompt (lowkey bc of real life events haha). This is also my first time writing a fic ever so pls forgive me if it sucks🙏🙏.
Mattheo Riddle was someone who had opinions. And sure he has his own set of friends but it was clear that even they hold him in a higher regard. When you're around him, first impressions matters. Once you annoy him, he'd never give you a second glance.
And you knew this. In fact, you were one of the people that did annoy him.
You're both Slytherins. You knew of each other. That was until your friends started hanging out. So naturally the both of you got roped into these hangouts. You have always found him attractive. No point lying about it. Everyone in the whole of Hogwarts knows he is. So maybe you wanted to grab his attention. And maybe the only way you knew how was to annoy him to death.
You didn't know you were annoying him. Truthfully, you saw it as playful banter. You actually even thought he might have liked you back. At least a little but. He didn't exactly see it in the same light. You had overheard Theodore Nott ask him in the common room one night what he thought about you. His answer being "she's kind of annoying."
You admit it did hurt you to hear him say that. You liked him. Like a lot. You even cried a bit, not that you'd admit that to anyone.
So now present timing. You've observed how he is from a far. Choosing to keep your distance after what you had overheard. You dont want to piss him off even more. Normally you wouldn't care if a guy thought that way of you, but Mattheo Riddle? Disturb him again and he'd have your head in a second.
You want to stop liking him. You really do. But when the professors keep assigning to two of you together for projects and when the only seats left are always the ones next to him, how are you supposed to move on?
You dont talk of course. Unless it was truly necessary. And your friends still hangout together all the time. You just choose to opt out if he's there.
And maybe some stupid part of you thinks that the reason why you can't get him off your mind is because there's something there. A magnetic pull? Or perhaps a soul tie. You'd hate to be delusional but you can't help it. You know you have all the reason not to like him. He can be a bitch sometimes. But the heart just wants what it wants doesn't it.
So Mattheo Riddle. Maybe you can just get by with observing him for now.
