Hey! Here's another James-Lily story, but now in James' POV. Hope you enjoy!

'Prongs!', Remus yelled. It was the first of September, the first day of school in my fifth year. I was very excited. Reason one: I saw Moony, Padfoot and Wormtail again. Reason two: Lily Evans. Lily Evans was the girl I loved. She knew, but she didn't love me. It was very frustrating, but at the mean time it was a lot of fun. I could chase her, tease her, and there was one moment I loved the most. When she was threatening me. One word; wonderful. Her cheeks became as red as her hair, her eyes sparkled. And, I got all her attention. That was a welcome bonus, of course.

'PRONGS!', Sirius shouted.

'Hm?', I did.

'Don't waste your time, Sirius', Remus said. 'He's thinking of Lily.'

'I was not', I lied.

'Yes, you were', Sirius and Remus said in chorus.

'Padfoot, shut up', I said.

'Oh yes? Make me!', Sirius challenged me.

'Don't challenge me.'

'Why not? Are you afraid to kick my ass?', he laughed.

'Hey, guys, Lily's here', Peter said.

'She is? Oh God! Guys, pretend like you're talking to me', I said nervous.

'Prongs?', Remus asked.

'Yeah, what's up?'

'We ARE talking to you.'

'Oh, yes, right. I'm sorry.' That moment Lily walked in their direction.

'Hey, Remus', she said. 'Potter, Black.' She didn't even look at Peter.

'Hey, Lily. How was your vacation?', Remus asked.

'Awful', she started. 'Someone sent me every day flowers. Hyacinths. I'm allergic to them. If I ever know who did that to me, I'm going to kill him. How was yours?'

'Great! I went to Italy. Very pretty monuments.' Sirius and me sighed. Lily looked toxic.

'Lily!', someone said. I turned and saw it was Snape.

'I'm coming! Great to see you again, Remus. Black, Potter.'

'Bye!', Remus said.

'How did you do that?', I asked. I couldn't help it. I felt jealousy.

'Being nice', Remus explained. 'Nice gets you far. You should try it some time.'

'I'll do that', I said determined. 'This is going to be the year Evans and I will be together.'

'Oh God', Sirius said. 'You say that every year.'

'No, now I'm sure. Evans is going to be my girlfriend. She will be begging on her knees. Mark my words.'

'I have an idea!', Peter squeaked. 'Let's do a bet. If James has Lily as his girlfriend at the end of the semester, Sirius will do his homework for two weeks.'

'Three weeks', I said.

'Even better', Peter said.

'What? No! I'm not going to do…', Sirius started.

'If not, James needs to eat his shoes.'

'Deal!', Sirius screamed. 'It's never going to work, so James will eat his shoes. I can't wait!'

'Deal', I said.

'Great! That's settled then!', Peter yelled. 'Let the bet begin!'

I wasn't planning to eat my shoes. This year Lily would be my new girlfriend.
