DILEMMA
I, Lily Evans, am in a dilemma.
You see, there are these two really great guys in my life, and I'm having trouble choosing between them. Kevin Wilkes and James Potter.
My mother used to tell me that hate was a strong word. Much too strong to use; for anything. Boy, do I disagree. I hate choosing almost as much as I hate decisions.
Kevin is…sweet. There's really just no other word I can use to describe him. He's really not a bad guy, but I don't feel at home with him. Over the years I've learned that pauses aren't always awkward, but when we're together all of them are. Our conversation never varies, it's always small talk; never anything personal.
EXAMPLE
I plaster a polite smile on my face. "Hey Kevin."
He does the same.
We say STUPID, stupid things all the way down, like "How was your day?" or "How are you?" or "Nice weather today, isn't it?"
Blech. It makes me sick.
Awkward pause.
To fill in the pause we'll quickly say something like, "Don't you just love Professor Sprout's daffodils?" when we both know just how hideous they are.
Awkward pause.
And that's pretty much how it goes.
James Potter is another thing (a stunningly fine thing, of course) altogether. He's changed so much from fifth year I can hardly believe it. Humph who gave him license to become so wonderful anyway? Always teasing, always laughing; the both of us, when we're together. I've never felt so, so So content I wouldn't be a bit surprised if it was against the law.
So I spend another ten minutes pretty much mulling over how scrumpdiliumptious James is and how not my type Kevin is. Anyhow, I saw him eyeing that awful McLaggen girl just yesterday.
This was never a hard decision after all.
Uh-oh, my dilemma sensors are going wild. How in the name of Merlin am I going to tell Kevin?
I hate dilemmas. But choices can be nice.
