    It was between classes and Mattheo Riddle was in the Slytherin common room off in a corner writing in his diary. It’s something he's been doing for a few years now to get anything out. More of a healthy way to deal with emotions because the other ways he uses probably isn’t the best. Looking down and letting the sounds around him fade away he starts to write.

    I like being alone, but that's why I knew you were different.

    He starts and as he gets lost in his writing you had come looking for him and see him off to the side. You smile and start to walk towards him when you see he was writing in some type a journal or diary, which took you by surprise.

    “You have a diary? I wouldn't have expected that.” You say smiling and moving closer. Mattheo looks up as you speak and sits up a bit straighter pulling the diary closer to him. This makes you spot moving and offer him a small smile.

    “I wont look.” You say looking right at him and not the diary. “We have class, come on, we don't want to be late.” You say and you turn to leave, giving him a moment.

    When you turn around Mattheo finishes writing his thoughts in the diary.

    Because for the first time ever I wanted someone else’s company more than my own.

    He closes the diary and quickly packs it away in his bag. He slings it over his shoulder and gets up heading over you with a soft smile on his face as his thoughts linger on you and how he's feeling something he hasn’t felt before.
