Hey everyone, this is a story of Lily and James's rocky friendship and how James learns who the real Lily is, causing him to fall more in love with her and causing Lily to rethink James Potter.

Summary: James loves Lily, Lily hates James-their friendship is borderline between love and hate. James is about to find out that you don't judge a book bye it's cover...

Lily sighed as she sat in-between Em and Lexia at the Gryffindor house table. She dropped her bag carelessly onto the ground causing a potions book to fall out of the bag. Lily rolled her eyes as she bent over the seat to pick up the book; she placed it next to her plate on the table. Lily smiled softly at Em in reassurance as she loaded her plate with toast, eggs and bacon.

Lily looked up across the table and directed her gaze to the trio sitting opposite of her, the trio consisting of Remus Lupin, Sirius Black and James Potter. Lily sighed once more before taking her first bite of toast, as she chews slowly her gaze focuses on the silver knife that is in her right hand. Lily twirls the cutlery in her hand, she watches as the light is reflected on the blades surface. Lily takes another bite of toast and places the knife back on the table, she continues to look at the knife and how the knife contrasts on the dark wooden table as she chews and when she swallows she looks up at the trio opposite her.

"I'm bored" Lily whines to the others earning amused looks from the group surrounding her.
"puh-lease DO NOT say the B word" Sirius begs while adding the puppy dog eyes and pout.
Lily rolls her eyes at Sirius and smiles coyly.
"BUT it's quiet, boring, quiet and uneventful! I'm restless, I'm bored and did I mention it's QUIET!" Lily whines in Sirius's direction
"Yes you did mention that it was quiet, three times i believe" Remus says in his matter-of-factly tone.
"But WHY is it so quiet!…Hang on" Lily says as she stares pointedly at the three males opposite "YOUR the MARAUDERS"
"Glad you finally realized that Evans" James says while shooting her a charming smile that she ignores completely.
"Shut up Potter...I meant WHY aren't you causing trouble? WHY aren't you joking and entertaining the students? WHY aren't you teasing Snape?"
Lily looks at each Marauder individually
"Sooo..."she continues, "what's the matter?"
"Evans, I didn't know you cared" Sirius says in a high pitch voice causing everyone the flinch slightly.
"My dear prongs, I think our Ms Head Girl wants US to cause trouble!" Remus exclaims with a hand on his heart.
Lily straightens up and claps her hands together.
"My golly gosh HIS GOT IT"
"Oh be still my beating heart" Sirius says as he pretends to faint against James.

James leans over the table and presses a hand against Lily's forehead, she leans back from James's touch and James smirks at her.
"Why Lily Evans taking a break from being a know it all, rule abiding, goody to shoes teachers pet?" James says as he places and elbow on the table and rests his head in his hand.
Lily glares at James anger boiling underneath her skin; she grabs her bag roughly and throws the potion book in it. She glares at James her eyes burning into his as she stands from her seat, Em and Lexia looking at her worriedly. She steps out from the bench and glares again at James, and then she speaks in a cold, demanding tone...

"You Potter DO NOT know any thing about me"

...and with that Lily storms gracefully out of the Great Hall
