I don't own anything. Sorry for any grammar mistakes. Oh and when you finish reading the story, you could review it. If you want. That'd be real cool of you if you did. And I'd give you a chicken. Not that I'm bribing you or anything...;)

"Hey, James, I found us a compartment."
"Didn't I tell you Lily? I'm sitting with Miranda today."
"Oh..."

James looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see

"That's fine with you, right?"
Fine? Why would that be fine, James? We've sat together on the train ever since first year.
"Of course, James. Go, have fun! I'll see you at the feast!"
"Okay, are you sure, I know it's kinda like our tradition..."

What I want, what I need
And everything that we should be

It is our tradition and you should stay. Stay with me instead of going to your girlfriend. Don't you know that your everything I want?
"Yeah, I'm sure. She's your girlfriend, you should go."

I'll bet she's beautiful
That girl he talks about

"So, James, when am I going to meet your infamous girlfriend." I ask as we're sitting down for the feast.
"I don't know, I think she's in her dorm, whenever she comes down, I guess." He answers, absentmindedly.
"Wait! There she is! Hey, Miranda over here!" I roll my eyes and he starts jumping up and down like a manic. I am almost enjoying myself until I saw James kissing her. "Uh, I have to go finish, uh, homework, bye!" I race out of there as fast as I can. Miranda really was beautiful, just like he said.

And she's got everything
That I've had to live without

She had blond hair and curves. She was toned up from Quidditch. She had these "beautiful blue eyes" as James says, that he can just "lose himself in". She was levelheaded and could see the goodness in everyone. She was perfect and me? Well, I had unmanageable red hair, a skinny frame, ugly green eyes, and a horrible temper. I could see how I would never even begin to compare to her.

James talks to me
I laugh, 'cause it's so just funny

"And then Sirius, Sirius fell into the lake!" James could hardly tell the story from laughter and I was already doubled over laughing. Miranda was sitting there like a perfect lady, laughing only to be polite. Seeing her look so perfect made me realize how stupid I must have looked.

That I can't even see anyone
When he's with me

"Hey, James!" I exclaim, happily, as I pass him in the hall. "Wha, oh, hey, Lils. Listen, have you seen Miranda anywhere?" My bubbly mood faded.
"Oh, uh, Miranda? No, haven't seen her in a while." Haven't seen anyone since I first saw you this morning.

He says he's so in love
He's finally got it right

"Aw, well, I'll find her on my own, then. Earlier today I realized that I love her, and now that I've realized it, I've just gotta tell her! She's just so perfect, so right, I know she's the one! But, I gotta go, bye!"
"Bye..." My whispered goodbye fades into the walls as he turns to go. Somehow, I knew that she wasn't the one, but lately, I'd been thinking I wasn't either.

I wonder if he knows
He's all I think about at night

I'm lying in my bed, gazing at the stars, wondering how he could make such a big mistake.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

I'm sitting in my dorm during a free period. I'm super depressed because James and Miranda are already making plans for the future. I remember when James and I did that. Apparently, James doesn't see me in his future.

James walks by me
Can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly

The kind of flawless I wish I could be

"No, no, you've gotta chop the mint sprigs! You can't just throw them in, you'll ruin the potion!" I corrected James, while laughing at him for not reading the instructions. James was laughing with me then suddenly stopped and took my face in his hands. "Thanks for the help," He breathed near my ear. My heart almost stopped, then he laughed again, and our moment was over.

She better hold him tight
Give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes
And know she's lucky

If I was more like her, would he love me? If I was perfect, would he notice me? If I was in her shoes, would I notice him? When I first told Alice that I liked James she said that "I could have any guy in the school and I choose the unavailable one?", but that's not true. No guy would ever want to go out with me because I have the worlds biggest temper. And I'm too goody-goody. I don't ever break the rules, what kind of guys wants that? What kind of guy wants me?

So I'll drive home alone
As I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down
And maybe get some sleep tonight

"So, Lily, you know how we were going to go to the Three Broomsticks together during the next Hogsmeage weekend?' James asked me as we walked down the hall. "Yeah?" I reply tentatively. "Well, change in plans. You see, Miranda wants to go to Madame Puddifoots..."
"But I thought you hated that place?"
"Yeah, but Miranda loves it, and if it makes her happy, it makes me happy."
"Oh...Well, don't worry about it, I'll just find someone else to go with!" Or maybe I'll just stay home and cry.

'Cause he's the reason for
The teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me
To break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing
Don't know why I do

"You sure you're okay with staying here alone?" It was the Hogsmeage weekend and I had found no one to go with. James and Miranda were just getting ready to leave and James felt bad that I was staying here alone. "Yeah, of course! I'll just do homework or something. I didn't really want to go anyway..." Okay, that wasn't a complete lie. I stopped wanting to go when you canceled on me.
"Are you sure? Cause I could stay here with you instead, if you like?"
"No, that's okay, go have fun! Bring me back some chocolate from Honeydukes, okay?"
"Sure, well go to go, bye!"
"Bye, James."

He's the time taken up
But there's never enough
And he's all the I need to fall into

"Oh and it was great! we stopped at Honeydukes and took turns finding the most insane candy in the store and feeding it to each other! And the I bought her this big chocolate bar-oh shoot! I didn't get you any chocolate! I'm so sorry!"
"James! It's fine, it's okay!" I said laughing as he apologized so earnestly, it was actually quite endearing.
"So, what did you do this whole time?"
"Nothing really, just thought about things..."
"Like?"
"Nothing you'd be interested in, just girl stuff"
"Ew, gross. Well, okay then, I'll see you later, I'm meeting Miranda by the lake." He turned to leave.There are so many things I want to say. So many things I wish I had said. But The moments gone and I'll never get the chance. I know you love her, but have you ever thought of someone else? Have you ever thought of me? Have you ever thought that you hold my heart?

James looks at me
I fake a smile so he won't see

"Wait, James!" I called after him. Time to tell him the truth. I just had to get it out in the open. I had to let him know I loved him. If I didn't, I'd regret it for the rest of my life.
"Yeah?" He answered.
"I..."
"Spit it out! What is it?"
"Never mind. It's nothing."
