I saw a spider, I didn't scream
We were on the pitch when all of a sudden George screamed at the top of his lungs. When we all raced over too see what was the matter we were faced with a tiny spider. I rolled my eyes and squished it with my thumb ignoring the snickers of a certain keeper.
'Cause I can belch the alphabet just double dog dare me
"do it again Kates!" Fred exclaimed as Oliver walked in. I rolled my eyes and started doing what they had asked. Belching the Alphabet. When I was done we all cracked up.
And I chose guitar over ballet"I'm doing ballet this summer!" one of my best friends Alicia says excitedly
"what about you?" she turns her attention to me
"I'm playing guitar" I say rolling my eyes at her enthusiasm.
And I'd take these suckers down 'Cause they just get in my way
"so Katie Bell. How are you and the girls doing? Still pinning for woodies attention?" Marcus Flint sneers. I punched him in the jaw. Dislocated it. Got detention. It was worth it but Wood was mad because I had to miss practice.
The way you look at me Is kind of like a little sister
"I just don't like the way he looks at you" Wood says seriously.
"your way too young for him" he continues. Great. That's how he sees me? Like a sister? That ruined my day. No. That ruined my life.
High fives, Your good byes And it leaves me nothing but blisters
It wasn't the fact that I had broken my arm that irritated me. It was that Oliver wouldn't stop being protective!
So I don't wanna be one of the boys, one of your guys Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight
I was going to show him.
"Bell go do some laps!" Oliver shouted. I looked at Alicia on the bench and called back
"Wood I'm tired!" I complain. He looks at me oddly.
"Are you sick?" he asks appaled. I sigh and get on my broom
That I just wanna be one of the girls Pretty in pearls, not one of the boys
I was tired of everyone not even recognizing me as a girl! I decided I wasn't going to take that anymore. I was going to go all out girl.
So over the summer something changed I started reading Seventeen and shaving my legs
Over the summer I began my transformation. I shaved, wore makeup and even went as far as to wear a skirt. I saw a lot of boys looking at me on the train. But the one who I cared about looking, wasn't.
And I studied Aveda religiously And I walked right into school And caught you staring at me
I used salon brands and read seventeen. I didn't think it was working until the feast in the great hall when I noticed Oliver Wood staring at me. I smirked. It was working.'Cause I know what you know But now you're gonna have to take a number
He finally noticed me but he had to wait. I had dates booked around the corner. If he couldn't notice me before, he DEFINANTLY noticed now.
It's okay, maybe one day But not until you give me my diamond ring
There were so many guys asking me out and still not Oliver! At least he would look at me now. I scribble in my diary. Oh well I wouldn't give up.
'Cause I don't wanna be one of the boys, one of your guys
On the quiddich pitch I worked extra hard trying to impress Oliver, but it was always
"Throw straighter"
"roll faster"
"pass quicker"
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight That I just wanna be your homecoming queen
Lockhart was throwing a dance and I'd been asked by Roger Davies. But I was holding out for the one boy I knew HAD to ask eventually. I mean I tried EVERYTHING.
Pin-up poster dream, not one of the boysI looked at the poster of a beautiful woman above Fred's bed as I snuck in so he could show me some prank products. Maybe that's what I had to look like,
I wanna be a flower, not a dirty weed
I noticed something. After a match I was dirty and Alicia and Ang were still clean and if anything a bit sweaty. Hmmm.
I wanna smell like roses, not a baseball teamI was in a fragrance store feeling strangely alienated in this strange girly world. I timidy sniffed a bottle. None of this smelled like the quiddich pitch.
And I swear maybe one day, you're gonna wanna Make out, make out, make out with me
My heart was broken. The team found Oliver kissing Cho Chang on the pitch and I had to mask my pain until I got into the shower where I could cry. One day I hoped I would be in Cho's position.
'Cause I don't wanna be one of the boys, one of your guys"okay men!" Oliver started
"and women!" I reminded him.
"and women" he said looking at me oddly.
Just give me a chance to prove to you tonight That I just wanna be one of the girls
I was dressed in a flowing red dress that was strappless and lined with silver around the bodice, the dress ending in vertical folds. He was defiantly looking now.
Pretty in pearls, not one of the boysAt last he asked me to the dance and his face got closer to mine
"I never thought of you as a little sister, or a boy" he clarified
"I was just scared someone would take my spot in your life"
And he kissed me.
