tippest och Unicornhorn [PRS]

He slept for like, two or three hours. He hated sleepless nights. Not that he used to have many of them, but it happened. It was terrible. At least he didn't get late to class, which was something.
He was the first of the boys to go out of bed and put on his uniform. At first he wanted to do something about his hair, but he changed his mind. He didn't have the energy to bother. He walked down with Klaus to the Great Hall. Noel figured that Audrey would see him in there. She didn't, though. The entire breakfast went by without her turning up. He mentally shrugged, deciding not to care too much.

He went to class alone. Klaus didn't have Charms anymore. Noel thought that it was stupid to choose Latin over Charms, but he didn't say anything about it. The entire class went by and his head was empty of charms and full of Audrey and William. He tried to decide who he had the most feelings for. He didn't understand why he cared though; William was Klaus' now. Class ended after what felt like ten minutes and Noel threw his shoulder bag over his right shoulder before he rushed out of the classroom. He had Prefect duties, and he had completely forgotten about the project.

Audrey watched the class come out of the classroom, a bit foggily. She saw them move, but slowly. She shook her head, trying to clear her head. Was this some sort of consequence of the potion? That couldn’t be right? She figured she could ask Noel, he seemed to know a lot about said potion. She saw Noel, and waved, but it seemed like he ignored her. Had she done something wrong? She groaned. Were they going to have a tension between them again? She really didn’t want that, she had liked the evening yesterday, especially the kiss. She jumped off the sill, and walked behind Noel, mostly to see how long it would take for him to realize she was there. She didn’t like getting ignored.

He walked for a bit and the corridors got emptier and emptier, but he still heard footsteps behind him. After a while it started to bother him and he looked around, his eyes meeting Audrey's. Shit. The project, right.
"Oh, shit, hey", he said, trying to smile but not being able to. Partly because of his lack of energy (which could be seen on the bags under his eyes) and partly because his confusion. "You missed class", he went on to state. She was probably aware, but he wanted to make it clear that he didn't like it. Sure, they had kissed and were probably a bit more than friends but he was still a Prefect, after all.

Audrey watched his mouth move, but she heard his voice slowly. When she finally took in what he said, she grinned.
“Thanks for clearing that up for me, I wasn’t aware” she said, winking. She had to joke it off, she didn’t want him to see that something was wrong. She noticed that he had bags under his eyes. She had had an amazing night’s sleep, but he hadn’t, apparently. Seemed like they had traded places.
“Two shots of espresso will do the trick” she stated, trying to help. She wondered why he had had a hard time sleeping. She scratched her neck. He seemed so, Prefect-ly again, couldn’t he make up his mind?

"Yeah, no, I don't drink coffee", he answered. He hadn't even laughed at her joke; the confusion was eating him. He hated being confused. Especially when he had no reason to be. It totally sucked. The worst of all was that he had no one to talk about it with. Klaus was not an option, obviously.
"I have Prefect duties", he said, looking at her. "Class starts ten minutes later. Some other Prefect's sick so I'll have to check the halls for them too."

Audrey shrugged.
“Sure” she said and waited for him to go to wherever the duties where going to be.
“Another tip is running, it’s really tiring” she said and smiled a bit. When she didn’t skate, she ran to clear her mind. She looked around the hallway, people were staring at her, and she tried not to care. It wasn’t as much as she had thought, however. She studied him, wondering what went through his head. Since she usually went into her own thoughts a lot herself, she could identify the signs.
“Are you okay?” she asked.

Noel saw the people staring at Audrey and had a hard time ignoring it. It really bothered him. Could they just leave her alone? It wasn't that big of a deal, really.
"Uh, yeah", he answered, looking down at her. Her question caused even more confusion in him. Could other people see that he was confused and an emotional wreck? Merlin, help him. They walked past a group of girls in Hufflepuff that stared at Audrey for way too long. Most people had the decency to look away after a while, but not them.
"Do you have a fucking problem or something?" he asked them and stopped. Even though he was really angry and irritated he managed to keep a calm tone.

Audrey looked at him, and she decided not to pry anymore. She was just about to start walking when he heard him raise his voice. She flinched, before she realized that he wasn’t mad at her. She groaned internally when the Hufflepuff students squirmed and rushed away.
“Yeah, piss off” she said after them. She turned to Noel and looked surprised at him.
“What was that?” she asked, looking confused. Sure, it was a nice thing to do, but she could do it herself, she didn't need a protector.

They quickly rushed away, which made him even more annoyed. They couldn't even say anything. Hell, everything annoyed him. He was such a mess.
"I just hate seeing every fucking face turned to you", he answered, beginning to walk again. "Have you noticed how ugly most of the people in this school are? Most of them look like fucking pigs!" The cursewords fell out of his mouth without him thinking much of it, just like the negativity. Hell, Noel was often irritated at everything; but not this irritated. This was something else.

Audrey groaned. She grabbed him by his wrist, and pulled him into an empty corridor. She looked him in his (beautiful) eyes.
“Okay, you can’t deny it. What’s up your ass? Something is bothering you on a high level. Since when does a Prefect use so many curses in one sentence?” she asked and let go of his wrist.
“Is it something I did? Because I have no idea what I did wrong? I thought you liked last night?” she said and looked at him, confused. Had something happened to him on his way to the dungeons last night? Because he was really, really different.
