It was so close to summer, so close to the end of the school year, just two more weeks left. Two weeks that she hadn't wanted to come any closer than they were already getting. The end of the school year meant the end of her being able to be at Hogwarts and that meant she had to go back home for the summer. Back home to a family whom she didn't fit in with. To a Slytherin father and Slytherin brothers, a sister who hated her, and a mother who was always too busy for anyone aside from her husband, great. All that was just great, perfect really.
The Gryffindor girl walked along the path leading down to the Great Lake, chuckling to herself somewhat sadly as she thought about how her summer was going to go. It's always fun to almost immediately groan at the thought of having to spend the summer with your family. Having been deep in her thoughts while walking, Hit hadn't realized that she had reached the lake and as the path began to curl into a small hill, she tripped over a root from a nearby tree that had become exposed, no doubt from the way the ground sloped in that area.
A yelp escaped the sixteen year old's lips as she tumbled toward the ground face first and she immediately covered her face with her hands to keep herself from getting hurt too badly. She tried to move herself to a sideways position and she rolled down the remainder of the hill, holding her arms close to her body. When she finally stopped rolling, she was inches away from the edge of the water and she found herself staring at the sky, giggling about what had just happened. Hit did not move from where she was and she continued giggling, wondering if anyone had seen her fall. A sigh escaped her lips as she finally calmed down enough to stop laughing and she thought, Maybe this summer won't be so bad after all. I mean, I'll have my friends..
Her thought stopped short. Friends. Who would she actually hand around during the summer? Ryo and Sayuri were always busy, as were the lives of graduates who had jobs and were actual adults. Who else was there? Oh yeah, him. Another sigh escaped her lips and Hit brought one of her arms, that had been outstretched on the ground, up to her shirt where her heart was and she clutched the spot hard feeling a small but sharp pain as she thought about him.
Him being her friend Apollo.
The brunette had not spoken to Apollo much since their encounter at a cafe where she bolted out the door and ran right into the middle of a duel and was hit by two spells at once, all because he had mentioned them moving in together and Hit's imagination had taken it too far. He had surely meant as friends, but her desires had wanted him to mean something more. She hadn't wanted to go to close to him after that because she thought she had made her feelings all too clear and she hadn't wanted to do that. She had wanted to keep her feelings for him a secret because she didn't want to risk his rejection and their friendship changing.
One more sigh from her lips was heard and still in the same position, Hitame continued to stare at the blue sky, watching the clouds as they moved across her line of vision.
