Sarah and I were lying on Lily's bed, waiting for her to get out of the shower. Sarah, Violet, Lily, and I always had a sleepover the last month of the summer, except Violet couldn't join us this year because she was traveling with her rich, pureblood grandmother.

"And I-I-I… will always love you-oo…I…. " Lily's voice blared from the bathroom.

"Don't mind our eardrums Lils!" I yelled. Sarah giggled, and it went quiet for a second. We stared at each other with expectant smiles on our faces.

"AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU-OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

We both jumped and then bursted into laughter.

"Oh my gosh Lils! I literally just jumped out of my skin! Like I can't fricken' find it! Where'd it go!?" I screamed. Sarah and I were rolling on the bed uncontrollably, and before I knew it, Sarah had rolled off the bed. A new spout of laughter erupted from the floor as I peered over the edge.

"Oh my god!" Sarah gasped, rolling on the ground and holding her sides. "Oh my god, oh my god, I can't breath!"

Tears streamed down my face and my usual belly-laugh had escalated to a silent cackle.

"Me neither!" I barely got out, wiping the tears from my eyes. "Oh my gosh, I'm going to have abs after this!"

Sarah nodded her head and clapped her hands in agreement like a mute penguin.

"What's going on out there?!" Lily shouted from the bathroom, making us laugh even harder. "You better not have broken anything!" We heard the shower water shut off, and Lily emerged from the steamy bathroom in a towel, grinning. "You uncultured swine!" she huffed. "Whitney is a timeless classic. Have some respect."

Sarah pulled herself up by the side of the bed and peeked over the edge.

"Yeah, but you don't sound like Whitney," she snorted and started giggling again.

"Sarah and I were about ready to intervene. We thought a banshee was attacking you or something."

Lily adjusted her towel, trying to look offended.

"By the way Lils, you're an absolute vision right now," I said, gesturing to her towel and glancing over at Sarah, who caught my eye and broke into a wide, mischievous grin. "You know who I think would absolutely love to see you like this?"

"A certain boy…" Sarah mused, wiggling her eyebrows, "with messy, dark hair."

"And a chiseled body," I said, lowering my eyes suggestively.

"You guys!" Lily squealed, throwing a pillow at us.

"Oh what's his face!" I continued grinning. "What's his name Sarah?"

"Jake…" Sarah made a thoughtful expression and dramatically rubbed her chin. "No, no…that's not right. What could it be Eva?"

"Aha! I got it!" I exclaimed. "James!"

"Oh, right, right, right," Sarah said, snapping her fingers. "James… McPotter-Pants."

"McHotter-Pants," I corrected, winking.

"Potter!" Sarah made a face like the universe had just aligned itself. "It's James Potter, Eva!"

"Oh! That's it! How could we forget?" I said, hitting myself in the head. I sent an innocent smile over to Lily who was rummaging through her drawers. She only looked half-amused. The other half looked…kind of deadly. But she was used to us teasing her about James, and she had never permanently injured us over it.

"I really don't know Eva. He's only one of the most popular and attractive guys in school."

"Also the biggest git," Lily interjected, settling on an outfit and beginning to change.

Sarah and I simultaneously threw ourselves dramatically back onto the bed.

"Why is it," I asked forlornly, "that all the most attractive and funny guys are gits and womanizers?"

Sarah sadly shook her head and looked over at me.

"Guess we're doomed to a life of eternal solitude."

"Or unattractive men," I pointed out. We both wrinkled our noses.

"You two are the most melodramatic people I know," Lily shook her head, smiling.

"But you love us," I reminded her.

"Of course I do, you adorable goofs."

"Love you too Mom!" Sarah teased, causing Lily to roll her eyes.

"How is it that I got stuck with the stupidest nickname?" she whined.

We shrugged, and Lily leapt onto the bed.

"Okay girls, what's the plan for today?"
