Have you ever met someone that you just couldn't get out of your head? Someone who fills your mind until there's nothing left for anyone else. Someone who's so utterly perfect, that no one else can even compare to them. Someone who can totally infuriate you to the point of irrationality.
I had always thought that there couldn't be someone like that in the world. You could forget someone if you truly tried. You could put them out of your mind. And how could that person be perfect? No one was. But then I met James Potter.
He is known around the school for many things: his amazing Quidditch abilities, his great mind (he had been referred to as a prodigy in Transfiguration), his knack for getting into trouble…and out of trouble, his ability to make anyone like him, and his amazing looks. Oh, and did I mention that he is also known for asking me out every day. Consistently.
Everyone thinks that I hate him, but that is not the truth. I always yell at him almost as consistently as he asks me out because while he may have many good qualities, he also has many qualities I can't stand.
For instance, he's arrogant, but you would expect someone who's perfect to be so, wouldn't you? Okay, okay, I'll admit it. I know that James Potter is not perfect. I mean, come on, I just pointed out his weakness. Arrogance. He can fly better than any one in school and he knows it. He is one of the smartest kids in school and he knows it. He is good looking and he knows it. He can get any girl in school and, guess what? He knows it.
Oh and isn't he stubborn? There are times that I just want to scream at him. He's persistent and stubborn, which to be honest is a bad combination. He knows what he wants and will go for it until he gets it.
This is why I refuse to let him "get" me. I, Lily Evans, will always refuse to give him the time of day. Besides, I must admit that I like getting the attention of one of the best looking guys in school.

Lily Evans is that person for me. I have always liked her and I don't think that will ever change. She's different than most girls are. She's smart, yes. And sassy, yes. She's confident, yet not arrogant. She doesn't realize that she is perfect. And while I must admit I know that she's not perfect and in fact, I could easily point out her one weakness. Her temper.
When she gets mad, everyone knows it. Her lips will thin, and her face will turn almost as red as her perfect hair. She will yell herself hoarse if she has to, to get her point across. And she is incredibly stubborn. I must admit that that is one of the reasons that I think I'm in love with her. I have never quite met anyone like her.
I know it sounds corny, like something out of a bad romance movie, but I will get her. I have to get her. I don't know if I can live without her. She can't stand me, but I know that somehow…some day, she will give in to me. I, James Potter, will always refuse to give her up. Besides, I must admit that I like that she has no choice but to notice me when I ask her out every single day.
