I had tried everything that I could think of, but I couldn't give up on Lily Evans. I had tried asking her out every time I saw her. She rejected me. I tried sending her flowers and chocolates and other corny romantic gestures. She threw them away. I wrote her notes that she would never read because she would crumble them up the moment I gave it to her. I tried telling her exactly how I felt. She would roll her eyes before sending a sarcastic comment my way and walking away from me. I tried giving up on her, but she would see me staring at her during class and call me a stalker. I tried changing for her, but she didn't seem to notice.

I was out of options. What do you do when the girl of your dreams won't even give you a second glance? What do you do when you can't forget said girl?

There was only one thing I had left to do and I would do it, I decided as I went in search of her. There she was sitting alone by the lake. She was reading a book, while pushing her dark red hair out of her beautiful green eyes.

I grinned as I moved towards her without even bothering to announce my presence. I pressed my lips to hers. It was probably a stupid move, but I had decided that if she wouldn't give me a chance, at least I could get one kiss to remember her by. Then, I would do everything I could to forget about Lily Evans. To my surprise she willingly kissed me back.

I could feel her arms around my neck and my own arms had snaked around her slim waist. I could feel her hands in my hair and I deepened the kiss. I was afraid to pull away because I knew she would be angry, but for the moment she was mine.

The kiss ended too soon and Lily was staring at me with her unique emerald eyes. I half expected her to slap me, but instead she stood up. "Don't you ever do that again," she said and began to walk away.

I had to say began because I stopped her by kissing her for a second time. She was startled, I could tell, and once again she was kissing me back, I didn't bother trying to understand it. I was the first to pull away that time. "I will never give up on you, Lily Evans," I said and I walked away.

I could feel her eyes on me and I smiled to myself. Someday, Lily Evans would be mine and not for just a brief moment.
