I laughed and took another sip of my drink.

"But seriously though, eew! I mean, James Potter!" Ana wrinkled her nose in disgust.

Our mate, Rhianna had recently been asked out by James, and she said yes! We were all in shock.

"He is quite good looking though…" Hannah pointed out. We all snorted and spluttered into our drinks.

When we had recovered, I replied, "But he's sooo self-centered. It's unbearable. Some girls have absolutely no taste in guys!" Everyone agreed with me.

"Oh yeah, well, who's the one who likes Severus?" a voice argued from over my shoulder. I looked round in alarm. Rhianna was standing angrily, her dark eyebrows frowning deeply and her hands placed firmly on her hips.

"R..Rhianna!" I stammered, looking at my mates for support. "We…we were only talking about…"

"I heard!", she interrupted, "And I thought you lot were mates! Well, you'll be happy; we've broken up anyway!" And with that, she stormed off in a huff.

"Oops."

I spotted him and speeded up my walking. He heard my footsteps approaching and turned around. "Lily!" he beamed. He smile faltered as I marched angrily up to him.

"What do you think you're doing, James Potter?" I demanded angrily.

"M…me?" he replied innocently.

"Rhianna was HEARTBROKEN!" I yelled. People were starting to look round, so I marched James into a deserted classroom.

"But…I…" James tried to explain.

"You're just a SCUMBAG, James Potter!" I finished and stormed out of the room, closely followed by James. I was a little red and flustered after all my shouting and I walked straight into Rhianna.

"Lily Evans, how could you?" she demanded and burst into tears.

"What?"

-----------

"Lily, please tell me none of this is true." Ana sighed as she sat down besides me.

"I don't even know what I'm supposed to have done!" I protested innocently.

"Well, Rhianna apparently saw you and James coming out of a empty classroom together and her imagination went a bit wild."

My jaw dropped open. "She doesn't think…"

Ana nodded wearily.

"But I was only giving him a piece of my mind! Y'know, playing the 'loyal friend' bit…I was doing it for Rhianna!"

"I believe you", Ana reassured me, "It's just Rhianna. She may need some convincing."
I sighed. How could she think…me and James?...he was so not my type. But…

No. So not my type!
