DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. :'( That belongs to Jo Ro. Ah. Guess you can't get everything you want. :/
Lily Evans wasn't one to fall for the popular guy all the girls fawned over. Especially James Potter.
He was arrogant, a bully, and so over-confident, that if his head got any bigger, he wouldn't be able to fit through the door. Everyone liked him. Except for her.
She was the only one who saw that he wasn't a good person. The way he tousled his untamable black hair to look as if he just got off his broomstick set her off. He was annoying, to put it simply.
Even her best friends, Alice Prewett and Mary MacDonald thought he was nice, and even nicer looking. Traitorous, right? Yeah, he was Quidditch captain, popular, wealthy, and, dare she say it, good-looking, but he was an awful, bullying toe rag and Lily Evans didn't like James Potter one bit. But why was it she couldn't get him out of her damn mind?
James Potter, on the other hand, felt completely different about Lily Evans.
The way her eyes brightened when she was excited, or, more often than not, angry at him, the way her red hair shined in the sunlight, the way her voice was sweet, when she wasn't yelling at him, and even the way she was telling first years where to go, he loved it.
He loved all of it, all of her.
No matter how many times she rejected him, or how many times he was called toe rag by those beautiful lips, he loved her.
Everyone did. She was a prefect, got good marks, and was an amazing person to everyone. Except him, she never was as nice a person to him.
He didn't understand it at all. He didn't know why she refused to go out with him; any other girl would faint if he asked them out. (He never would. She was it.) But, he knew that one day she would be his, and until then, he would wait for her, asking for her, knowing that until that day came, she wouldn't say yes. But, he would always be there. Because, you know what, James Potter loved Lily Evans with every piece of his damn heart.
Author's Note: So I couldn't make this story a long one. It just wouldn't come to me like it did for this. :( Oh, well. I did try! I promise! It is now a really short one-shot. I'm gonna post a song fic (Jily of course!) to One Direction's Tell Me a Lie. It's all dialogue, and I don't know if I like it, but I shall post it anyways! If you read, please review! Common courtesy, people!
Lots of Love,
