"What you're reading redhead?" James asked lily. She didn't bother answering him, knowing he is only teasing her. So, she just rolled her eyes and did her best trying to ignore him.

"Hello? I just asked you a question!" James said, clearly annoyed. Lily couldn't help smiling to herself. She actually enjoyed making him feel unnoticeable.

"I couldn't care less, Jamie." She answered, without even looking at him. James grumbled to himself and walked away.

"I hate him so much." Lily mumbled to her best friend, Emma. Emma nodded her head, agreeing. But Lily knew the truth. If Emma had a real shot with James, she would go for it. She, and, of course, any other girl in Hogwarts. Lily truly did not understand what all the fuss about this Potter kid was. Sure, he did have this charming, wild smile and all that, but beneath all this, there was nothing but a huge idiot. Unfortunately, Lily was the only one who could see that.

Beside Potter, Lily's life was pretty alright. She had straight A's in all the subjects, she wasn't really popular like her older sister Petunia was back home, but she had Emma, Lisa and Charlotte, and that was enough for her. But what made Lily's life so bearable was Adam Falls. She had the biggest crush on him ever since her first day in "Hogwarts boarding school". He had a brown curly hair with big blue eyes that made Lily feel like she was about to drown in them. She never had the guts to talk to him, she was way too shy. But just being around him, look at him when he doesn't notice, was fine with Lily.

"So, did you hear what potter did today in math class?" Lisa asked. Lily felt like punching her in the face at that moment.

"I know! I was there! It was hilarious!" Charlotte laughed.

"What? What did he do?" Emma asked, anxious.

"He told Mr. Charles that his class was unbelievably boring. And then, he just walked out!"

"HE DID WHAT?" Lily yelled. She couldn't believe it. Mr. Charles was very nice, and her favorite teacher. He was kind, and he was sixty years old, for god sake!

"Oops. I forgot how much you like him." Lisa apologized. But Lily couldn't hear her. This time Potter was way out of line.

"How, on earth do you find it funny?" Lily whispered. Charlotte blushed. Lily rolled her eyes.

"I'm going to our room." She told Emma in a disgust voice.

"Aren't you hungry? You haven't eaten the entire day!" Charlotte said, surprised.

"I lost my appetite. Goodnight." Lily left the table, her head swirling with thoughts.

She decided to read her favorite book, hoping it would relax her.

She sat on the couch in the living room, where no one could disturb her.

"Reading again? Twice a day? Wow. You are a real rebel aren't you?" she heard a voice.

"Go away Potter. I don't feel like talking to you right now." She mumbled to him. She couldn't help wondering what the hell he was doing in the living room instead of eating like a pig downstairs.

"Why? What did I do?" he asked. Lily shouted her book. She looked at him, angrily.

"How could you do this? You're a bigger jerk then I thought you were!" she screamed.

James was surprised. In his whole0 life no one dared talking to him like that.

"What are you talking about?" he asked. Lily rolled her eyes.

"How could you do this to Mr. Charles? He has been nothing but nice to any student. Including, for some reason, you. I've heard he raised your grade in ten points so you won't fail and flunk out of school. You… you... You are the biggest selfish jerk I have EVER met!"

James was strangely quiet. He looked at her with a look Lily couldn't quite figure.

"Is that what you think of me? Nothing but a jerk?" he asked. His voice was very quiet.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I? "She yelled.

"Let's just say there are thing you don't know." Lily did not know what to answer him. And so she did the only thing she could think of. At the moment she slapped him. Lily wasn't very strong, but she knew he got hurt, if not by her strength so by the surprise.

Then, she ran out of the living room back to her bed. And for some reason she couldn't sleep the entire night.
