Hey guys, it´s me LiliesInMoonlight^^
Well, this is my second story and it isn´t much better than my first, but … please … just read it …
Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN Harry Potter … but I really wish I would^^
He´s my best friend
Chapter I Why? GOD, why me?
I sat on the Quidditch field, watching my best friend flying on his new broom around the whole field. As he waved towards me I felt the heat colouring my cheeks flaming red.
Yes, I´m in love with my best friend … dumb, I know^^
"Kate!" I heard someone calling me.
Oh, did I forget to introduce myself? Well, my name´s Katelyn O´Shea, I´m sixteen and in my sixth year in Hogwarts.
With a questioning look on my face I turned around to see who´d called me. My best female friend hurried over to me, her blonde locks flying in the wind. Juliana Ewan was the dream of every male student in the castle with her big ocean blue eyes and her perfect slim figure. And luckily she was in Ravenclaw like me – because her blue, yellow skirt and tie, which matched her hair and eyes perfectly, underlined her pretty apperiance very well. So if you think I´m jealous because of her looks, you´re so damn … right.
"Kate … here you are!" she said when she reached me, coughing hardly.
"Jahh, well … here I am!" I know, it wasn´t a smart thing to say, but I don´t know what else I should´ve answered.
I heard someone laughing freely and looked up in the air. There he was … my best friend and secret crush James Sirius Potter … doing loops in the sky and just having so much fun.
Julie´s eyes followed mine and she frowned as she recognized who I was looking at.
"Kate, seriously … I thought you were over him yet! I mean he´s way out of your league … and your best friend, by the way!"
My glares should´ve pierced trough her body, but sadly … they didn´t. "Thanks for encouraging me so much … and you call yourself my best friend!"
Even the deep frown didn´t destroy Julie´s beauty … - crap! - ,"Kate … he … you know, he´s the most popular guy in school. There are tons of girls who would die to be as near him as you are!"
"So?"
Just the moment Julie was about to answer, someone only a few metres beside us screamed ," James! I´m here! Look here, cutie!"
We both turned around … and saw at the exact same time the person who disturbed our conversation.
"How dare she calling him cutie?" I hissed venomously.
Amanda Tyler had always been a thorn in my eyes. She was such a bitch (my opinion^^), but pretty enough to make any guy interested in her.
"Jamesy!" Amanda screamed again ,"Look here, look here, sweetie!"
I watched her actions still annoyed, but sadly had to admit, that compared to her, I was nothing. Her hair was curly - beautiful long, black locks … while mine was just long and thanks to my Irish ancestors of a reddish brown colour. Her eyes … well, let´s say it´s unfair someone has such eyes. They were green as mine, but a lighter colour and could only be discribed with one word … stunning. Her body was perfectly slim as Julies, while mine … let´s just call it normal figured.
"Jamesy!" she cried and waved towards James … I had to suppress a laugh when I saw him rolling his eyes.
Without looking back at me, Julie silently said ,"That´s what I meant … it´ll always be like that. He´ll always choose such girls like Amanda over you!"
Then she went back to the castle and left me behind, me knowing very well how right she was.
But my dark thoughts were interrupted by Amanda trying to throw air kisses at James. And this time I couldn´t hold it back … I started to laugh so hardly tears were soon screaming down my face.
A dark look out of gorgeous eyes met my laughing image. "What´s so funny, stupid idiot?"
I couldn´t believe it …. She was calling me stupid? She …. of all people! ….
As an answer I started to laugh harder. I mean, she was the one who threw air kisses at my best friend and seriously called him Jamesy!
Her anger coloured her face an unsighty red ….. uhh, not so pretty anymore … "Don´t laugh at me, bitch!"
I stopped laughing immediately. "Did you just seriously call me bitch?"
Unfortunately … well, not for me … just for her (^^) … I had Irish temper … and that´s why I quickly ran towards her and grabbed her wrists. "Listen to me … and listen carefully, ´cause I won´t repeat it! Don´t EVER call me bitch again!"
Her light eyes widened in fear …... hah, I frightened her^^ ….. "Like ….. you … could do … something!" she stuttered panicly.
Out of the corners of my eyes I could see James preparing to land … and I couldn´t help, but smile and frown at the same time.
"Oh my GOD!" my green eyes quickly flashed back to Amanda. The look on her face … like she finally realized something. "You LIKE him!
I tried to laugh or just to smirk at this comment,but my face stayed emotionless.
But unfortunately now was her time to smirk. "God, do you really think there´s a way he´d ever like you like this … you´re nothing … ugly bitch!"
Although I would never admit it … but it hurt like hell to hear these words coming out of her mouth. Because I knew it … I knew she was so damn right.
And this knowledge … made me angry … so angry like I´ve never been before. In a swift movement I released her wrists from my grib and lifted one hand - ready to slap her right across her face … and hopefully make that evil grin of hers disappear.
But just in this moment James ….. GOD, why? … landed right next to us.
"Kate!" he yelled, letting his broom fall and grabbing my arm … holding it back, just a few centimetres from Amandas face. "What the hell do you think you´re doing?"
My dark look set right at him "None of your business!"
"Oh, yes? Well, I guess it is!"
"It´s not!"
"Kate, dammit … you know, it is!"
"Shut up … and it´s not!"
James sighed dramatically "Listen, it´s no use to discuss this … especially with you! So please just tell me!"
Luckily Amanda chose this moment to interrupt our conversation … or else I should´ve had to answer … thank goodness she was addicted to attention^^ … "Hi Jamesy!"
Jamesy … and again I was convinced of her stupidity^^ …
"Uhm … hi!" my rather confused best friend answered.
Miss I-need-attention threw an evil look at me "It´d may be better if you´d go now! We want to be alone!"
And again – I guess it was the second time today – I had to supress a laughter "Ok, ok! I´ll leave you two lovebirds alone!"
And ignoring James´ pledding face I went a few steps further down the field.
"Oh by the way … my name´s Amanda Tyler!" I heard Amanda say.
It was the last thing I heard … probably the turned their voices to a whisper or just … a normal conversation tone … I wasn´t sure at all^^. And of course it wasn´t like I wanted to hear what they said … but well, I was just … curious … that´s all.
Soooo … that´s it … the first chapter^^
What do you think? Don´t care about my feelings … be as regardless as you want^^
