Lily's point of view
Sitting there in class and listening to a teacher is one thing, but sitting there in class and listening to the teacher while having to sit next to Potter is a totally different adventure.
For one he's a jerk, not to me, but to my ex-best friend, (they can both burn in hell together)
For another, he is annoying, he asks me every two seconds, not giving me anytime to breathe.
He is ARROGANT. He acts like he owns the place, and knows that he can get almost any girl he wants. But at the same time he is smart, and he knows he is. That's the sad part about it, he doesn't even have to try.
My name is Lily Evens, and I am fed up with this crap, so let the fun begin.
James' Point of view
Please, god, if you are real I am begging you, please let Lily go out with me this year. I know for this I have done no wrong, but to love and care for someone so deeply is truly excruciating pain. My heart needs her to feel alive, and my soul needs her to be complete. My life my desire, there will be nothing she is the apple of my eye, as cliché as it sounds. But I love her.
I slide in next to her and start scribbling a note.
James
Lily
Sirius
Hey Lily, you look radiant today. You're positively glowing.
Shut it, Potter. Nice try but I am not interested.
What is it beyond you to take an f'ing complement without passing it off as me trying to seduce you? Really, Lily, I was not planning on asking you out. I was just saying that you look nice, because you do.
Sorry, James, I just thought, well because you usually do, you know what. Never mind
Whoa mate! She called you James, which my friend is a big step up from Potter and Arrogant toerag.
Stuff it Padfoot. Okay!
Geez man! Get your panties out of a twist I was just saying
Yeah Potter, he was just saying. Besides I felt that an apology needed to be addressed on a first name basis. Now if you don't mind some of us like to continue our work thank you very much.
"Ms. Evans" McGonagall said addressing me. "The note please"
My eyes widened in surprise but I handed her the note. Surely I was going to get in trouble for this. Thanks again to Potter.
She opened the folded piece of parchment and started reading it out loud. Yeah there was nothing embarrassing in the note itself, but the whole concept of getting caught was what was making me blush.
"It's okay" Cat said putting an arm on my shoulder. "Just don't get caught next time" She gave me one of her adoring smiles. As I laughed and said,
"Who says there is going to be a next time"
She pushed her bleach blonde hair out of her eyes as she giggled. "No one"
Nikki on the other hand just shook her head, as she finished her assignment finally. She looked up from her owl that was now a chair and said "Face it Lily, you dig smart guys that have black hair and glasses, and that is exactly why you are in love with James, he fits the perfect description, of that guy. Also you want someone who adores you for who you are and is fully committed which is another reason why you won't go for him, you yourself are afraid that you won't be fully committed, it's not that James won't be, it's the fact that you're afraid you won't."
"What are you Nick, a shrink?" She laughed and wrapped me in a hug.
"Am I right?" She said smiling at me.
"Not even close" I shook my head sadly. The truth of the matter was, I'm afraid that for once she is right.
