Honestly, Easter break couldnât have come at a better time for the redhead. It had been in the week leading up to it that the girl had been practically ITCHING to escape the school grounds. She loved the school to death and it would always hold very fond memories from her. But on the downside it tended to be slightly⊠claustrophobic at times. Everybody was there and though the school was far from school, sometimes it felt like it was TINY. Especially when you had been doing your best to avoid somebody, they seemed to crop up everywhere. Especially when that somebody was Caleb. The boy and his stupid handsome face seemed to suddenly be everywhere that she had wanted to be and after their kiss, the redhead hadnât known how to react. Part of her had wished she hadnât walked away and wanted to see where they wouldâve ended up, but the other part of her was glad she had. Niamh had an unfortunate habit of leaving a trail of destruction behind her âin-the-momentâ actions and unfortunately, many of her actions did tend to me âin-the-moment,â her kiss with Caleb not being an exception to that. She didnât know how to feel about it, nor where it left them standing and thought talking to the boy would probably result in both of those questions being answered, it would require talking about FEELINGS. Something that the Gryffindor was notorious for being unable to do. She had enough difficulty ended whatever you wouldâve called her and Johnnyâs âarrangement,â and then she had to screw up another perfectly good friendship by planting her lips on them. Though in her defensive, both of them had kissed her first â not that it even really meant much anyway. But still, their kiss had been something that had plagued her mind over most of their break, the gloves he had given her almost TAUNTING as they had hung up, not only making her feel like a giant asshole for avoiding him after he had given her such an amazing gift, but also serving as a reminder as the whole uncertainty about everything. Seamus and Dean had even had queries about them â since when had their daughter taken up boxing? Another question the girl could add to the list of ones she didnât want to give an answer to. However, the girl knew she couldnât avoid him forever and eventually they would collide paths once again, though she was just hoping that wasnât in the foreseeable future.
But of course, in lifeâs usual fashion when it came to dealing with matters of her heart, it didnât allow her much avoidance time, her excuses of quidditch scrimmage practices and assignments due having to come to an end. The boy still lingering on her mind as she bored the train back, doing her best to push the issue to the back of her mind and not infamously over-analyse it like she had already done for the past week. She knew that they would have to speak when they got back on the ground at some point, but she hadnât expected it to be so soon, eyes looking up expecting to meet Sophia, Mimi or Dominique as the carriage door slid open, instead meeting Caleb. âWell hello to you too. My break WAS very nice, thank you for asking.â She responded, swallowing slightly at the boyâs blunt-ness about the whole matter, though voice not lacking itâs usual sarcastic tone. She bit down on her tongue for a moment, knowing the fickle excuse of âbeing busyâ wasnât really going to cut it, but sheâd attempt it anyway. âNothingâs gotten into me. Iâve just been super busy you know, lots of last minute assignments, Isabella made us attend loads of those scrimmage practicesâŠâ She bit down on her tongue, barely able to convince herself.
To be completely honest, Caleb was never hung up on anyone â usually it would be the other party that would be hung up on him, so to say that he was feeling strange was a complete understatement and it was safe to say that he didnât like it. Maybe closure would be the solution, but then again, he didnât want that. He wanted to resume with their usual meet ups and spend time with her, no matter what theyâre doing. Easter break was supposed to have given him a chance to think about things and determine what he really wanted but in reality, thinking about it just made things worse. He grew frustrated with his sisterâs taunts and he even fought with her because he crossed the line and called her a muggle. All in all, the holidays became disastrous as they neared their end and it was all because he decided that kissing the redhead was a good idea â at the time it was and he didnât necessarily regret his actions either because it was incredible. The two fit together perfectly, not just their personalities but even their bodies â hers drove him wild and he knew she did certain things on purpose, just like he showed off by training without a shirt, or changing right in front of her.Â
Heâd grown tired of the excuses she always made up to avoid him, but he granted her space because he didnât want to be pushy with her, because whenever was he pushy? But Caleb wanted answers and nothing would get in the way of him getting them. âIâm glad you had such a wonderful break; I wish I could stay the same but instead I was constantly questioned about you, so while you were intentionally filling up your time to get away from me, I couldnât bloody stop thinking about you.â He hadnât planned to say all this, heâd planned to stay calm and collected and nonchalantly ask her about whatâd happened. It was a good thing that along with the sealing charm heâd put on the door, heâd cast a silencing spell â no one would nose into their business. âOh, cut the bullshit Niamh; you always do assignments with me and those practices didnât last as long as you made them out to be. Somethingâs up and youâre not telling me.â
