He's Not Always Faithful

Chapter 2:
((Esther's P.O.V))

"Um, I'm James."

This boy standing in front of me has messy black hair, deep brown eyes and a smile that would make any girl faint. "I'm Esther." I reply with a small smile. James extends his hand and I shake it. His touch sends tingles up my arms and my heart begins to pound. From behind me I hear Erica yelling out at the top of her lungs.

"ESTHER, HURRY UP AND GET OVER HERE!" I turn around to her and motion for her to go into the shop without me. I can see she's watching James with envious eyes and frown at her.

I turn back to James and say, "I kind of have to go now, bye." I realize then that James hasn't let go of my hand. I quickly drop my arm to my side and begin to head back to Erica.

"Wait." James says to me and I turn back to face him.

"Yeah?" I ask puzzled.

"Um," James seems lost for words for a second before continuing on. "Thanks again..."

"Don't mention it and you might want to actually put the jacket on..." I smile sweetly at him when I see he's gone a shade of crimson. I head back to Erica and walk into Flourish and Blotts with her.

"Mystery man eh?" She says smirking at me.

"Well...I suppose so..." I start before she cuts me off.

"What's his name?"

"James."

"As in James Potter?"

"Umm I guess..." I say. I'd heard rumours of this guy but they were just rumours right?

"You GUESS! He's like one of the hottest guys out there!" Erica says pulling a fan girl face.

"Oh..." I mutter. I wonder how many girls are like this? Erica continues on as if she didn't hear me.

"He was also available until that bitch Evans took him." Erica frowned at the mention of the girl.

"Wait, he's taken?" I say bewilderedly.

"Yeah." Erica looks at me funnily. "Have you been living under a rock? He's been with Evans for at least 2 years now!"

"Oh." I say trying to keep the disappointment out of my voice. Wait a second! Do I actually like this guy? I thought about it for a moment. I guess he was cute... A little more than cute. Sweet too but I'd only just met him 5 minutes ago!

Erica seems to pick up on my disappointment and nearly shouts to the whole world, "You like him don't you!" A few of the shoppers turn to stare at Erica. The owner of the store gives her a disapproving look at us from behind the counter.

"Maybe, a little... I think." I reply to her in a hushed voice.
I still have no idea myself...
-A Few Hours Later--

I walk up the stairs to my room closing the door behind me. I had finally been ably to get Erica to stop making such a fuss over James and how I looked at him. Yada Yada Yada... I swear that girl doesn't know how to shut up!
I throw my books onto my bed before walking back out of my room. I pad down the stairs into the kitchen and open the fridge taking the pumpkin juice bottle out with 'Wingardium Leviosa'. I pour myself a drink with this before levitating the bottle back into the fridge. I pick up the glass and begin to walk back up the stairs when I hear my Dad having a heated discussion with somebody in his room.
I turn back and listen through the door.

Dad and another man are fighting over the arrangements of some masquerade ball... Sounds like fun!
