A Little Summer Love

From the Overflowing mind of Lily Evens

by purpleelephantspinkhippos

For my friend...elyse.

How? How must I always get in situations like these? Yes. God just hates me. That is what it comes to. I have done nothing wrong to deserve this! Okay, so you are probably wondering why my life sucks at the moment. It all started yesterday during break. Us sixth years were all hanging around by the lake when my best friend, or so I thought, suggested we spend a fun-filled summer together. Naturally, I thought it was a brilliant idea. I mean, a summer with your best-est friends on some beach in France versus sitting in a muggle abode and cleaning up all day. I pick the beach.

But after this oh-so-wonderful suggestion from dear old Rebecca, who was quite smart, though not as intelligent as yours truly, came the worst and most terrible idea anyone can ask for. How could someone so smart suggest something so wrong? Well, alright she was cousins with Remus Lupin, the most mature of the Marauder's, and it's her house anyways. But come on, did she have to suggest inviting all the Marauders? Okay, so stupid Peter Pettigrew couldn't come do to previous plans and John Bliss overheard and decided it was right to invite himself, but he was just as bad as the Marauders.

Oh, did I mention James Potter was going to be there? Yes, concieted, arrogant, big-headed James Potter who thinks its okay to jinx on sight or to ask beautiful Moi out every second of the day. It was going to turn out to be the worst vacation ever. And why did my parents have to already give me permission? Honestly, I would be fine scrubbing the entire house, attic and all.

But perhaps it will be alright. Who knows? Maybe Potter would be alright. Ha Ha, yeah right! Oh great, I laughed out loud. This sucks because people will start thinking I'm a nutcase. One Second, I'm angry and the next I'm laughing? Whatever...

"Lily, you've hardly touched your pudding. You love pudding." said dear Rebecca from next to me. Her brown hair reaching past her shoulders, long and beautiful. Hey, we were the bodacious group of the school. We were all of goddess gorgeousness.

"Yes, well, you know how Chocolate is my favorite, and I was never really a fan of -" Dang... it is chocolate. I really need to pay more attention to my life. The end of term feast was not as great as usual, due to my overflow of thoughts. Two days, in two days I will be stuck in a house in France with my friends... but with Potter. And Black. And Remus. And Bliss.

"Is this about the beach?" asked my friend, Kyla. She had red hair as well, except brown eyes. What was she, a freaking mind reader? Maybe I gave too much away. Dang nab!

"Well, lack of pudding stuffed into your mouth, you fumming under your breath, you not yelling or looking at Potter all today, and you completely ignoring us for the past few days. I can put 2 and 2 and other stuff together and still get to what you are thinking.

Oh she's good. She knows things, but just isn't smart enought to explain them. "Oh gosh guys! I forgot to pack last night and I have an hour till we depart! I really got to go. I'm so sorry! Just come get me later alright? See you later." I am so good at making up stories. Okay I really did have to pack, but I just need to clear my head.

"She seems odd today. But lack of sleep will do that to you." Kyla whispered but was nonetheless heard. Thanks Kyla, you are such a good friend today! Well, as long as I don't run into anyone that I know, life will be all good.

I never really have appriciated the silence of the common room! It's like being in a little Lily Oasis. Oasis... like the beach. Oh great. Anger. Potter. Hate. Oh great...

"Alright, Ev. Erm, Lily?" He said shyly. Potter? Shy? Interesting how when I'm thinking about him he happens to not be stuffing for his face...for once.

"Why aren't you at the feast, Potter?" I said. Why do I always sound like I'm PMSing. Oh my god. Am I? I'll save those thoughts for later.

"I just, didn't feel like it really. I also had to pack. We leave in forty-five minutes you know. Why aren't you eating either?" he asked Strange how we are in the same kind of situation. Odd really. Oh yes, Lily, you need to speak. Earth to Lily! Hello! Answer!

"Packing, tired. I didn't sleep last night, so I thought I'd catch up." Oh great. Why didn't I keep that in? Diarrhea of the mouth!

James gave me a quizzical look. Thanks James...way to make me feel uncomfortable! "Oh," he smiled slightly, "coincidentally we are in the same boat. Odd, how that happens to two people. Well, I'm off to the feast. Have fun with whatever you plan on doing. See you later!"

Did I just have a conversation with Potter? No! I'm clearly losing my mind. This sucks.

Thoughts? Share away. Even if they are completely evil. I care not!

Chapter two up soon.
