Chapter 1: Déjà Vu
Ugh... Can my day get any worse? First the shirt, second the bruise and now what? Lily mind-talked while she checked her pockets for money. Her shirt was dirty after tripping and falling. "At least something's going right." said Lily gratefully as she found some money in one of her pockets. She thought her money fell off her pocket when she fell clumsily like a clown. After dusting off the dirt on her shirt and jeans, she heard grumbling noises. "Great, the mini market's just a few miles away. Hope I got enough money to buy something to eat... Or at least stop the grumbling noises." she said to herself, hoping that the mini market is not closed.
While walking, she passed an abandoned playground that was used to be Lily's heaven. She remembered playing with a boy named Sirius, well, at least he said his name was that. She also remembered the birthmark on his right shoulder, a round birthmark which quite looks like a beaten-up heart shape to her. Thinking of that Sirius guy was seriously making her blush. Soon, she looked as red as a cherry. Sometimes, Lily thought that she had a crush on him and yes, even at the age of a little girl can experience "love at first sight". He was so attractive and funny that she remembered a lousy joke that he once said: How can I not be serious when my name is Sirius? "After buying some bread maybe I'll search for this Sirius guy. "said Lily, eager to fly her fingers on the keyboard to type his name out. Sirius, she thought, what a nice name. She walked faster, wishing she could just teleport or get to the mini market after a blink of an eye but she's just a normal girl, no magic, no super powers.
Hmm... what flavour should I choose? I guess I'll go with strawberry. Lily thought. She walked to the counter with two strawberry flavoured breads. A teenager with messy hair and spectacles was in front of the counter and Lily quickly felt a sense of déjà vu. "Two breads only, miss?" said the messy-haired boy. Lily was too stunned by his handsome face. Those attractive hazel eyes were just impossible to not stare at. Lily was speechless, could that be the Sirius boy she was looking for? After all these years ? She remembered him telling her that he won't be able to meet her again and left without a reason. Now he was just standing in front of her as a cashier. Well, not just an ordinary cashier but a quite good-looking one.
The Sirius guy's POV
Oh my god, she is so hot and she looks quite familiar. It would be so nice to know her. Wait , those emerald-green eyes... And the long red hair ... Could she be Lulu? Okay snap out of it James... You're now a cashier... Do your cashier thing or get fired...
"Are you buying that or just to stand here staring at me?" asked James sheepishly to the the girl in front of him. What are you thinking? You are gonna freak her out and say bye bye. "You sure like strawberries eh?" Wait, strawberry? Lulu also likes strawberry... thought the dreamy James. "Oh, sorry and yes I am buying these breads and yes I do like strawberry" replied Lily when she realized she was staring at the cashier. It couldn't be him... Lily just make your payment and get the heck out of here. Lily thought. She quickly grabbed the money out of her pocket but unfortunately, her nervousness made her dropped some of the coins. Without a second thought , they both squad down to pick up the coins. Their hands met and Lily rapidly took her hand away, avoiding the touch of his warm hands.
Lily's POV
It is him! He has the birthmark on his shoulder too, just like Sirius'!
"Here are your coins, miss. " said James to her with a broad and sheepish smile. "If you don't want them, you can give it to me. " said James, laughing a little at his joke. "Well, thanks and I will keep the coins, thank you very much." said Lily. "Do I know you?" her curiosity made her spit the question out of her mouth and soon she regret for asking the question that she found it stupid. "Well, if your name is Lulu then I guess I know you." said James half praying that she is the girl called Lulu. "Um... My name is not Lulu. My name is Lily but there's someone called Sirius calls me that name. D'you know him?" replied Lily, half begging that he knows Sirius or, in fact, is Sirius. "Oh boy, first of all my name is James and you look pretty similar to a girl which I call her Lulu." "Can I look at your right shoulder? My friend, Sirius has a birthmark there..." It must be him, I'm sure of it. Well, I guess I'll know for sure after having a closer look. thought Lily confidently. "Well, okay. " he said, folding the sleeve on his right arm.
"You are Sirius! You have the exact same birthmark like his and you've still got that sense of humor!" exclaimed Lily. "Well, I do remember lying to a girl that my name is Sirius when I was small. " replied James smiling sheepishly. "Where you met the girl?" asked Lily, confirmed that she was the girl that he was mentioning. "I met her at the beach where she was wearing a bikini... Nah, just kidding I met her at a playground which is now abandoned ... I really missed the times that we played together and the lousy jokes I made. At least I made her laugh." "How does she looks like?" asked Lily with a smirk plastered across her face. "She looks exactly like you but prettier. " said James smirking too. "Well, I'm pretty sure that girl is me, Sirius ." replied Lily. "Well, you look pretty...pretty ugly." "Hey! Well, you don't look handsome either." "You did stare at me until you drool." "I did?" asked Lily panicking and embarrassed if she did. "Well, no but I sure wish you did." laughed James hysterically. "For goodness sake ! Okay, I'll admit it. You are pretty um...attractive. " "Great, can I have your phone number?" said James grinning. "No, but you can have this..."
James' POV
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god! She...she just kissed me! I think I'm melting into a puddle... I could feel my legs turning into liquid...wait no... I should ask her out...yeah, ask her out...
"Um... I was wondering if...if... you would be in...interested to go on a da...da...date with me?" said James, his heart was pounding wildly when every single word came out from his mouth. He was just too nervous, tongue-twisted and stupefied by her gorgeous appearance. Man, was she pretty. "Okay, meet you at the Weasley's?" "Yeah sure ." replied James with relief.
Lily's POV
Oh my god, he just asked me out! On a date! And what the hell was I thinking? I just met him and kissed him! Oh my god, now I just feel like shutting the whole world out, dig a hole and stuck my head down in the hole like an ostrich... I bet I'll be famous in no time...but I accepted him to a date... I guess I'll just go with it...
"Well, see you later!" said Lily happily and nervously. She put some money on the counter and flew out the market as swift as a deer. "See you later too!" replied James grinning. "Eh what's your phone number Lulu?" James shouted but before he could get it, she was already out of sight. Beep...beep... James heard and checked his wrist watch. "Looks like it's time to go back and get ready for my first date and especially deal with my messy, unkempt hair..." After talking to his boss, he packed his things and he saw a note. On the note was her phone number and her full name: Lily Evans and wait a second, a sentence: P.S. dun do your hair, i like it messy. ;P . "So it's the hair you like, not me eh?" said James half heartbroken and half grinning. "I guess I'll know that later...
