"Cut my life into pieces. This is my last resort. Suffocation, no breathing, don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding."
For the fourth time in a row, the thumping beats of Papa Roach blasted from the stereo speakers. It was a sunny Saturday afternoon, so naturally, Lila Potter, Caitie Weasley, Tucker Finnigan and Joss Weasley could be found lazing around in Lila's room. Caitie was in a corner, practicing dance stretches, Joss was absentmindedly petting Galaxy, the dog,'s head while staring into space, Tucker was lying on the bed, flipping through a magazine that featured a scantily clad Britney Spears on the cover and Lila was sitting on the giant window seat, furiously scribbling something in a notebook. She suddenly stopped, glared in Tucker's direction, then leapt up and ran over to the stereo. She pounded the stop button and the room was in complete silence.
"What'd you do that for?!" Tucker asked, annoyed.
"There's only so many times you can listen to that song in a row. And we reached the end." With that, she flounced back over to the window seat and plopped herself down again.
"Bite me." Tucker muttered, turning his attention back to the magazine. Neither Joss or Caitie had noticed this exchange or the fact that there was no longer music blaring in their ears.
After about 15 more minutes of silence, the phone rang, causing Caitie to fall from a handstand onto her head and Lila to throw her pen across the room in surprise.
"I'll get it!" Tucker shouted, pouncing on the cordless phone. "Hello?" he asked eagerly. His face fell at the reply. "Yeah, hang on a second." He tossed the phone at Lila who promptly dropped it. She quickly picked it back up.
"Hello?... Yeah sure, hang on." she handed the phone to Caitie. "It's for you." Caitie, not looking mildly surprised, held it to her ear.
"Hello?... No. Okay, bye." she hung up.
"Who was it?"
"Wrong number." Lila and Tucker stared at her.
"You're joking." Lila said.
"Yeah, I am. It was some guy asking if I was going out with Josh Sumner."
"But you are going out with Josh." Tucker pointed out.
"So? He didn't need to know." she said evenly, going back to her stretches.
"How do you know it wasn't Josh?" he asked.
"I just know."
The phone rang again.
"You get it this time." Tucker told Caitie. She shrugged and picked it up.
"Hello? Oh hey Josh! What's up?... What? You're kidding, right?... No? " she started to look panic stricken. Tucker looked interested. "Of course not! Why would I say that?!... Of course I'm not ashamed!" Tucker started to laugh. Caitie aimed a well placed kick and he fell off the bed with a thud. "Yes, it was... Yeah, sure, okay. See you then!... Uh-huh. Bye!" she clicked the talk button, looking relieved.
"Lemme guess," Tucker's head popped up from the other side of the bed. "That was Josh, asking you why you said you two weren't going out when his friend called and asked."
"Worse." she said, collapsing onto the floor. "He was the one who called and asked me, just to see what I'd say. I told him it was Lila pretending she was me." she sighed while Tucker cracked up and disappeared behind the bed again.
"Bummer." Joss said, finally coming back from La-La Land. Galaxy rolled over and started wagging his tail.
"Well, I told him we'd go to a movie tonight. So, Lil', what do ya' want to see?" Lila looked at her suspiciously.
"I didn't think I was going." Caitie looked nervous.
"Weelllll..."
"Spit it out."
"IkindatoldJoshthatyouwouldgowithhisbestfriendCarter."
"In English." Lila commanded narrowing her eyes. Joss and Tucker looked excited.
"I told Josh you would go with his friend, Carter." Caitie said in a small voice.
"When you say Carter, do you mean Carter Ericson?!" Lila practically yelled. Caitie nodded. Tucker and Joss had started chanting 'Jerry,Jerry' under their breath.
"You want me to go to the movies with Carter Ericson, my worst enemy since 5TH GRADE!?" she was standing up now. Caitie nodded again, staring at her feet.
"ARE YOU MENTAL!!??" Caitie looked thoughtful for a second, then once again nodded. Tucker and Joss had stopped chanting and were waiting with baited breath.
"Well I'm not going." Lila said, suddenly calm, picking up her notebook and sitting down again. Both boys looked severely disappointed.
"Lila, please! Just one movie! For me, please?"
"Caitie, the last time I did something like this for you, I spent a week as a plant because he cursed me when I wouldn't kiss him!"
"Yeah, but at least you were a pretty plant."
"I'm not having this conversation! The answer is no!" she turned her attention back to her notebook.
"But... but, but Llllliiiiilllllaaaa!" she whined. Lila pretended not to hear.
"Ah, come on Lila. There has to be some secret attraction you have to your archenemy." Joss said, climbing off the bed and sitting back on the floor. Lila raised an eyebrow at him.
"You watch to many porno movies." she commented.
"Is anyone else hungry?" Tucker asked suddenly.
"I am." Lila said, standing. "Let's go raid the frig." She trooped out of the room, followed by Galaxy, Tucker and Joss, arguing about whether or not Britney Spears had gotten plastic surgery, and a moping Caitie.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harry, Hermione, Lavender and Ron were stretched out in lawn chairs, sipping iced tea on the Weasley's sun deck. Harry sighed contentedly, taking Hermione's hand in his. Then Lavender broke the silence.
"You will never guess what I found Joss's room yesterday." she said lazily.
"What now?" Hermione asked, smiling slightly.
"A Playboy." Lavender said, sighing.
"That's my kid." Ron said, grinning. Lavender glared.
"So it was you who gave it to him?"
"He's fourteen, Lav. He needs to start finding out some things for himself." Harry snorted into his glass and Hermione changed the subject.
"Ginny said when Tucker came home with a condom, banana and a note from a professor, both she and Seamus just about went into coronary arrest. They never taught us that kind of thing at Hogwarts. They should have, mind you, considering it was a boarding school." Harry squeezed her hand and grinned mischievously.
"Thank God Percy isn't here." he said. "He'd be bright red by this point."
"Speaking of Percy," Ron piped up. "How long are he and Penny going to be in England?"
"Until next Saturday." Hermione murmured, closing her eyes. "Caitie is staying with us."
"Speaking of the kids, well, like we have anything more interesting to talk about-"
"Oh, we have more interesting things to talk about, we just don't." Harry interrupted.
"Well, anyway, are they all over at you guy's house, Harry?"
"Unfortunately." Harry said. "As a matter of fact, at this moment they're probably eating all the ice cream I bought for the barbecue tomorrow night."
"Ooooh, hand me the cherry fudge ripple and a fork!" Tucker said to Lila as they opened the freezer.
"Get it yourself!"
"Dibs on the strawberry!" Caitie called.
"No way, fudge ripple's mine!" Joss said, snatching it. Tucker pummeled him and as his red-haired head hit the ground, Tucker grabbed it out of his hand.
"Ahhhh, chocolate chip cookie-dough, a.k.a, a little piece of heaven!" Lila exclaimed, eating the ice cream right from the carton.
Joss grabbed a hand full of Tucker's dark brown hair and yanked.
"OWWWW!" came the reply.
Lila sat down to watch the wrestling match between the two boys. The pint of cherry fudge ripple ice cream lay forgotten on the ground.
She and Caitie exchanged glances, then started cracking up. Something just never change, she thought.
