A girl with fiery red hair stood shaking at a balcony

A girl with fiery red hair stood shaking at a balcony. She looked out to the setting sun that glazed brilliantly over her school that was like a second home for her. A single tear rolled down her cheek as she thought about what had happened over the past night. 'How could someone that was so gentle, so loving, so caring, just push me away like that?' She thought to herself. She let out a small whimper as she touched the bracelet that he had given her. 'Why me?' She whispered to herself. 'What did I do wrong? '. Suddenly, a voice startled her.

'Hey Evans' came the voice of James Potter. She swerved around, startled by his presence.

'Hey' She mumbled and looked down to the floor, afraid he would see her red eyes.

'So, why are you crying, eh?' he asked mischievously.

'None of your business' she replied angrily.

'Oh, why? You know I want to help you through all your problems' And his vibrant hazel eyes had a hint of amusement in them as he added, 'darling'. Suddenly, she snapped her head up and stared at him straight in the eyes with anger blazing inside her.

'First of all, I am most certainly not your darling; and second of all, I am crying about Tom, because I didn't know how bloody stupid he could be, and I wish you could just leave me alone right now because I need some time to myself for just two seconds!' She yelled. James kept a straight face and chuckled.

'There, do you feel better now?' He asked. She did feel better, but she didn't want him to know that.

'No' she said simply and resumed staring at the sun. She could feel his eyes boring into the back of her head. She sighed and turned back to him.

'Look, the only reason Tom left me was because of you, because he thought I liked you or something, and seeing that you are the whole reason for me crying, I suggest you leave. Now.' James stared at her thoughtfully.

'You know, deep inside that you like me. Even if you don't know it yet, you'll find sooner or later that you do.' She bit her lip as he turned and walked away.
