(this is my first stab at this whole FanFic stuff... reviews would bring joy into my life)
Chapter One- Bullshit
"Love is such bullshit." Lily emotionlessly stared at her quickly cooling breakfast of eggs and oatmeal. It was the day before St. Valentine's Day and the growing fuss about lovey-dovey stuff had caused her to lose her appetite.
"Maybe your cynicism is bullshit, Lily," Brianne said plainly, also looking down at the breakfast she was actually eating. If it weren't for the usual crowd that filled the Great Hall, there would have been utter silence between the two of them.
Lily threw her a quick sideways glare without moving, noting how Brianne had re-hemmed her skirt again, bringing it up to near-obscene shortness. "Maybe everything is bullshit," she mumbled as she poked at the fluffy yellow eggs with her fork.
Brianne dropped her utensils and violently rolled her eyes as she turned to Lily, who finally looked up from her food. She exhaled and said sternly and seriously, "Lily."
"What." Not a muscle in Lily's face moved. There was a certain sadness and pain in her eyes that she was trying to cover up with this anger.
"You are the most bitter person I know."
Lily opened her mouth to say something but only a sigh came out. As she looked into space beyond Brianne, her face softened. She suddenly appeared to be overcome by emotion. Her eyebrows fell and her stare dropped to the bench they were sitting on. "I just..."
"I know, Lily," Brianne said softly. They were both silent for a moment, as if in mourning.
Someone in Griffindor robes ran by them and created a great breeze, blowing around the girls' hair. They gasped and shut their eyes at the sudden burst of air, then froze for a moment. They both slowly opened their eyes to see the other's hair all over the place and could do nothing but laugh like the best of friends they were.
"Oh you..." Lily laughed. "You look ridiculous, Brianne."
"Hah! Get a mirror, bitch!"
They were those type of friends who could say such things and just laugh as hard as humanly possible.
Once they had fixed their hair, Lily excused herself to her studies. She was lying.
