"Luke said that no one on the Slytherin Team was allowed to be romantically involved with a Ravenclaw, especially if said Ravenclaw was on their Team. So if he found out about us I would be off the team." she said plainly. She stepped closer to the blonde and put a hand on her arm after a quick glance to make sure no one was there. "I want to be with you. But we just have to keep it a secret, okay?" she said.
"If the rule didn't exist, I would have no problem coming out. But, this team means a lot to me and we can come out after the match, alright? That is, if you want to. I won't come out about us if you don't want to, but I will if you want to. But not before the match. So...I'm gonna stop rambling." she said.

"You got it, princess." she said with a smile and an exaggerated wink, letting more space between them as a few second years came around the corner. "Let's go in there and be so platonic it isn't even funny." she said confidently, opening the door with one hand.

Reyna laughed and returned the gesture, heading towards the table to the other Slytherins. She sat down in between Thalia and Clarisse, instantly digging in to some beans on toast. She chatted amiably, discussing subjects and professors and the match. They began an in depth conversation of Muggle Studies - something that Reyna did not take and had no interest in - and so she chewed on her food as she glanced over at the Ravenclaw table, making quick work of spotting Annabeth.

Reyna kept eye contact until Thalia nudged her from underneath the table. "What are you starin' at, Reyna?" she asked suspiciously, turning around to look with a sly grin. "This is the problem with this Hall - you could have been staring at anyone." she said, scanning the lunch crowd in an attempt to pick out who she was looking at.
"I can tell you who's staring at us - that Chase chick. Must be chuffed with that win, huh?" Clarisse said jokingly. Reyna let out a soft laugh, taking another sip of her juice to hide her small grin. They had no clue!

Reyna's eyebrows furrowed slightly as the sheet was slipped into Annabeth's pocket, and she felt a burning curiosity to what was on that sheet. She turned her attention back to her Slytherin friends as they began to discuss other topics. As there was a lull in the conversation, Reyna spoke up. "How are things with Chris, Clarisse?" she asked curiously, glancing over her shoulder at the Gryffindor across the hall. The other Slytherin coloured slightly, shrugging with a huff. "It's fine, I guess." she said, embarrassed. Thalia snorted, and Clarisse elbowed her.
"Oi, shut it Miss Totally-Not-Dating-Bianca." she said, and Thalia opened her mouth to argue back but shut it abruptly as her ears reddened. "Fine." she said as Reyna began to laugh. Thalia raised an eyebrow, a smirk spreading on her face.
"Well look who's laughing now, Crushes-On-Ravenclaw-Prefect." the blue-eyed girl said with a laugh, as Clarisse started to laugh as well.
Well, *.
"I-i...uh, n-nO!" she defended weakly, not making eye contact and blushing profusely.

The Slytherin girls laughed together as Reyna's face grew redder, nonsense babbling out of her mouth as she vehemently denied any crush on Annabeth. "That's enough, now. We are just friends. Stop it." she hissed at them, and then Thalia spotted that Annabeth was looking. "Looks like we caught her attention, huh?" she said with a wiggle of her eyebrows at Reyna before waving at the Chaser. Reyna buried her face in her hands, peeking out to see how Annabeth would respond.

"Here she comes, Ramirez." Thalia said with a laugh, poking Reyna in the side with her elbow. Reyna's eyes widened as the blonde walked over, and she tried not to seem like she was freaking out. She probably failed.
"H-hey, Chase." the Puerto Rican said weakly as Annabeth came closer.

Reyna was beyond confused and embarrassed at this point. The 'subtle' wink was received clearly by all three Slytherins and Reyna's two friends dissolved into laughter again. "Oh my god!" Clarrise said, wiping tears from the corner of her eye. Reyna rolled up the newspaper next to them and gave each of them a solid whack on the arm, narrowing her eyes. "That's enough." she said.

Thalia let out a final chuckle before calming down slightly. "She was like straight-up flirting with you. Well not straight, but you get me. Geez, you two need to just get a room and release all that pent up sexual tension." Thalia said solemnly before going back to her food. Reyna was left gobsmacked at her friend because how was she to respond to that? Reyna did not need that image in her head right now, and she glared at her friend as her face grew redder. Clarrise agreed in a solid nod before smirking and continuing to rush down her final bit of homework. Reyna just huffed, not bothering to deny it at this point and sipped her drink.

Dumbledore had no announcements, and soon enough the students began to trickle out. Thalia and Clarrise bid Reyna farewell as they scurried off to Arithmetic and Reyna collected her books for her next class. She looked over at the Ravenclaw table that was much emptier than it was before. She walked over to Annabeth, giving her an embarrassed smile. "Sorry about that. And, uh, they don't know." she said to the Prefect.

"They must have known the whole time that I had a huge crush on you, and thought teasing me now would be a good idea. You coming over just sort of fanned the fire." she explained with a shrug. "I have to know - what was that sheet Rachel gave you?" she asked curiously.
