Chapter 1: Ultimate Prank

"Come on, Cal. Don't be a chicken. Or do you like her?" said my so called best friend, Jordan. I rolled my eyes and glared at him intensely. How could he ask me to play such a cruel prank? I was going against everything my mother had ever taught me and I wasn't proud of doing that. Looking back on it now, I wish I never pulled any of those pranks. It just goes to prove how cruel I really was to the person I now love to pieces.

"Callum, just do it or I will and you know it'll be you who gets the blame" said Jordan. I looked round at him then up at the rope rigged to tip a bucket of, I don't even know what that was. Even to this day, I can't remember. I took a deep breath and tugged on the rope. The blue bucket tipped upside down and covered Ren'Ai Kirai in whatever it was in the bucket. Whatever it was, it looked good. It looked like it would probably very tasty if I tried it. But right at that moment, I was just concentrating on her reaction.

"CALLUM MCGUIRE, HOW COULD YOU?" shouted Ren'Ai furiously. All of my friends were in laughter. It was almost as if they were all trying to reach for breath they were laughing so hard. Me? I was trying not to laugh but it was funny. I watched as Ren'Ai huffed and stormed to the girls dorm.

"Nice one!" said Jordan and some of out other friends. By the time Ren'Ai was gone, I, too, was in stitches of laughter. Looking back now, it was terrible that I found that funny but at the time, I was only 14 years of age.

By the time next lesson had came around, everything had calmed down. All but Ren'Ai. She was still furious with my friends and I.

"Ren'Ai?" I said to her. Ren'Ai just glanced at me and gave me the most evil looked I'd ever seen. Though she had the right to. I shrugged it off and continued 'listening' to the professor rant about whatever it was the lesson was about.

"McGuire, are you listening to me?" said the professor. I looked up.

"Yes, sir" I lied.

"Okay, so name me a healing charm" replied the professor. O boy. This was the moment I had to admit I actually wasn't listening in the slightest little bit.

"I don't know. Why would I use a healing charm in the first place?" I replied. Well, it was better than owning up to not actually caring about Charms and everything else around it. But I was sure I was going to get told off for that.

"Are you asking for a detention?"

"Are you giving me one?" I asked in a sarcastic tone.

"Get OUT of my classroom. I'll see you at the end of the lesson" said the professor sternly. I smirked and stormed out. But as I reached the door, I had heard Ren'Ai say something.

"About time you got the idiot out of here" I heard her say. But rolled my eyes and continued walking. But deep down, it cut me. Was that really the impression she had of me? Was I really that cruel she had such a bad impression of me? I deserved it but it still hurt to know that she actually hated me. The person I'm now with. That was the moment I knew I had to make an attempt to change her opinion of me. Whether it meant losing all of my friends or not. It would be well worth. And to this day, I never regret making that decision.

- I hope you guys like it.

Thanks hun. Much appreciated.

Chapter 2: Bump Outside the Library

"OW!" screached Ren'Ai as I accidentally bumped into her. I really didn't mean to. O did I? I'd bottled it. I originally planned to bump into her on purpose then tell her how cute I thought she was. But I bottled it. Right at the last minute. But I bumped into her anyway. I was just too scared to admit how I felt.

"Sorry, Ren'Ai" I said apologetically. She looked at me and smiled slightly. At least I'd apologised, right? "For everything" I added quickly and truthfully. Ren'Ai looked startled. Like she was shocked I was apologising for the cruel jokes I'd played on her. They were funny at the time but after a while the funny part wore off and the guilt kicked in. I swear I could kick myself for all the trauma I put this girl through over the years.

"I'm shocked. You actually know my first name" joked Ren'Ai. But I didn't laugh. It wasn't funny. I wasn't funny. I was mean. And I admitted that free willingly. Yes, I was a jerk. I still am at the best of times. But mostly to the idiots I called my friends back when all of this was happening. I had strong feeling toward Ren'Ai and I was destroying any chances of having a strong relationship with her by playing cruel jokes and pranks on the poor girl. It was like we were singling her out but we weren't. I know now that that's how it appeared to her. My 'friends' were but I certainly wasn't. I was just playing along and I should have stood my ground. And after a while, I did. It was me or they're pathetic pranks and jokes. They chose the pranks and jokes like true Slytherins do. But now, the past has creeped behind them and bit them. And all I can do is laugh because I was big enough to make a change.

"Difficult not to when all your supposed to be friend decide its cool to pick on the Japanese girl" I told her. But I was falling for her. Fast. And I don't think she ever saw that. Not yet, at least. I leant down to help her pick her books up off the floor. I looked straight into her eyes and smiled. She was so pretty. And to this day she still is.

"I guess, after a while, its difficult not to run with the crowd" She broke my random trance. I nodded simply.

"It is extremely difficult. But the guilt kills me. To think over the past four years I've done nothing but torment you. And afterwards I regret it all. I don't have a reason to pick on you" I explained. And that was the cold hard truth.

"So why not try to do something about it?"

"I'm trying. At the end of the day, my life's gonna take a turn for the worst if I don't start changing things in it" I replied truthfully. And I didn't want it to take a turn for the worst. I wanted it to take a turn for the best.

Sorry its short.
