A/N This is just a story that came to me, as I was washing dishes. Weird. Also, please note that this chapter is just a side thingy. I needed a reason for Lily to be outside when….well that's in the next chapter….

"Say Viv." 16 year old Lily Evans said, addressing her best friend Vivian Brooke. "Hmm?" "Do you remember when we met?"Vivian pretended to think about it. "You know, it's kinda hazy, but I seem to recall you pinching me awfully hard, and calling me an immature prick." she said cheerfully. Lily winced. "Aww, come now Lils, don't feel bad. it was a long time ago!" Lily snorted and said "Who said anything about feeling bad? I was merely thinking about the fact that I called you a immature prick, with the whole world of wonderful insults out there." "Why Lily! I'm hurt! Don't you care about me?" Vivian gasped, clutching her heart, a fake expression of hurt on her face. "Nope." Lily replied, cheerfully. "Ah, I knew there was a reason we were best mates" Vivian sighed, happily.

"What the HELL where you thinking!" Lily screamed at Vivian.

"I'm sorry! It was an accident! Believe me!"

"Like hell it was! You were mad because I messed up your potion, Vivian, admit it!"

"Yes I was a little mad, but I wouldn't stoop that low Lily! You know I wouldn't!"

"Do I?" Lily asked, her voice dangerously low. "Do I really? That was my biggest secret, and if you couldn't keep that, I don't think I can trust you anymore, Brooke."

Vivian looked crestfallen. "So that's it then. Six years of friendship, I make one little mistake, and that's it? We're on a last name basis?

"It wasn't 'one little mistake' Brooke, and you know it. My secret will be all over the school tomorrow, and whose fault is it? Yours. All because I spilt too much powdered beetle into you potion. Well guess what? You won't have to worry about that anymore, because we are no longer friends. Now go."

"Lily I-"

"LEAVE!" Vivian looked like she was going to protest, but she kept quiet at the look on Lily's face. She got up to leave, whispering "I really am sorry Lily." and then she was gone.

Lily collapsed on her bed, pounding her pillow. She forced herself not to cry. Not to go running after Vivian.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

A/N Sooo.. what do you think? Not exactly in the story line, but anyways….

Review! Or read the next chapter and then review! That's when the plot starts to really happen anyways. Happy (belated) Fourth of July to all my American readers!
