SCENE I
(At store, James bumps into Lily)
JAMES
Oh, sorry
LILY
It's okay.
JAMES
Hey, you go to Central, right?
LILY
Yeah. I'm Lily.
JAMES
Hi, Lily. I'm- (Lily interrupts)
LILY
James. Everyone knows you. James Potter, football player extraordinaire.
JAMES
(cockily)
Oh, well, I wouldn't say I'm an extraordinaire, but, you know, if you wanna describe it like that...
LILY
(annoyed)
Oh, you know you would describe it as extraordinaire. No need to try to seem cool.
JAMES
(flirtatious)
Ooh, I like you. Hey, what d'you say we, oh, I don't know, go get coffee sometime?
LILY
I don't drink coffee.
JAMES
Well, then. Lunch?
LILY
I think I'll pass.
JAMES
Really. Well, call me when you change your mind.
(James winks and writes his number on a piece of paper and gives it to Lily, then walks away)
LILY
(mutters) Arrogant toerag.
(Marlene walks up to Lily)
MARLENE
Hey, were you just talking to James Potter?
LILY
*sighs* Sadly, yes.
MARLENE
Why are you sighing? He was totally hitting on you! And he's like, so hot!
LILY
Because, Marlene, he is an arrogant toerag. It's so bad that I noticed it after one conversation with him.
MARLENE
Oh, Lily, don't be so harsh. He can't be that bad. I mean, he is friends with like, everyone in school.
LILY
They're only friends because A) he's the star of the football team, B) they think he's cool, and C) they think he's good-looking. Which, yes he is, no he isn't and
no he isn't.
MARLENE
Oh, come on Lils, at least admit that he's hot.
LILY
I must not tell lies. And that, my darling Marly, would be a lie.
MARLENE
Why are you so darn stubborn when it comes to boys? You've had at least five boys- perfectly nice, not arrogant boys, I might add- ask you out and you've said no to all of them. It's like you want to die an old maid.
LILY
I don't want to die an old maid, it's just that I didn't really like any of those boys, and I knew it would just end up hurting them.
MARLENE
Oh, Lils. Everyone gets hurt at some time or another. And you'll have to, too.
LILY
Yes, but imagine being led on, and then just dumped.
MARLENE
Don't have to. You do, but I don't. Because you've never been on a date.
LILY
Whatever. Can we just stop talking about this?
MARLENE
Fine. For now. But we are so telling Alice about this at school tomorrow.
(Girls walk offstage)
Hi! So, hope you enjoyed the first scene. It's kind of weird, but yeah. All my friends thinks it's funny, and it gets funnier. This is a pretty short story, like 5 or 6 scenes, I think. So I'll probably update once a day, saying as I have most of it written already. So yeah! If you'd like me to update more or less frequently, let me know! Reviews perfectly welcome, actually preferred. Critique wanted, but no hate! Thanks!
I think I'm gonna do questions at the end of each chapter, just little things to get people engaged
Question for this Scene:
What other fandoms are you guys in?
I'm in so many. HP, Hunger Games, Percy Jackson, Doctor Who, Sherlock, (kind of) Supernatural, Starkid, and probably more that I can't remember.
Thanks for reading
