“Man, if she stays around anymore, I might as well say goodbye to my sanity,” David muttered, watching out of the classroom window, only to see Kashan pass by, carrying a pile of textbooks.

Tanzeel looked up from his Muggle studies notebook. “What do you mean?” he asked slowly.

His eyes still on Kashan’s figure, David frowned slightly. “You know what I mean, El,” he replied, scowling suddenly. “That girl is too pretty for her own good.”

“Oh, so you’re telling me the famous David has found yet another potential snogging buddy, only one day after he broke up with his last one?” Tanzeel asked, smirking visibly. David looked searchingly at him for several seconds before finally saying something. “You don’t love her, do you, El?” he asked seriously.

Tanzeel snorted. “No, du-uh,” he said, looking as if the very mention of such a possibility was an insult to him. David smiled. “Good. Because I might just fall for her yet. Might just.”

Tanzeel smirked in response. “Way to go, Romeo,” he said in an undertone.
