Chapter 4
Lily was still fuming. How DARE that girl think she was better than her! And Potter! Thinking that she, Lily Evans, would ever sink so low as to fight another person just for him!
Lily Evans did not NEED to fight other women for her men. Lily began grumbling to herself, which caused everyone in the main hall to stare at her as though she was crazy.
Elayna poked her in the side and gave her an amused look. Lily didn't even give her a look back. She began shovelling into her dinner like it was her last one.
She would have loved it if Potter would have just fallen into some hole and died. In fact he could take his little Chelsea and they could fall into the hole together.
"Lily! Get a grip, don't take it out on the chicken!" Elayna told her as she waved her hand in front of Lily's face. Lily blinked and stared at her dinner. The Chicken looked as though it had been through a shredder a couple of times. Suddenly she was aware of everyone staring at her. Elayna seemed to be the only one who found this whole thing amusing.
"I's going for a walk," Lily muttered as she picked up her bag and headed outside. Even though it was almost dark, the cool air felt good against her skin. She felt all her anger slowly slip away.
"Lily!"
Well almost. Lily suddenly felt her anger rise again as she turned to face James. He had been in the main hall when she had left. The nerve of him! He must have followed her.
"What do you want?" Lily felt like snapping, but managed at the last moment to calm her tone down slightly.
"What, am I not allowed to simply want to talk to you?" He asked innocently, almost, as though he hadn't spent everyday Lily had been at Hogwarts making her life miserable.
"No, why don't you go Chelsea or whatever her name is," Lily said in an annoyed tone.
"Lily, do I detect jealousy?" James asked playfully.
"Like I'd ever be jealous of her," Lily laughed, "If you ask me, you two were made for each other!"
Suddenly Lily turned and glared at him, "Why are you even here?"
"I told you, I just wanted to talk to you!"
"Ya right, like I believe that,"
"Fine then, don't,"
"I wont,"
"Good!"
"Good!"
Lily turned and began walking a different way, and to her utter annoyance, James followed her.
"Would you just go away!" Lily snapped, "Maybe you don't get it, so let me say it a little clearer…I DON'T LIKE YOU!"
James stared at her confused, "Why do you hate me?"
Lily also stopped, "Are you seriously that clueless? Do you honestly think after all you've done to me, I'd actually like you?" Lily asked incredibly.
"Er…"
"Oh you are hopeless! Why don't you just leave me alone?" Lily sighed.
"Actually I don't know," James said with a shrug. He suddenly reached up and ran his hand through his messy hair. Lily watched this and felt even more annoyed. How was it the Potter always managed to ruin her day?
"So, uh…wanna tell me about yourself?" James said. Lily stared at him, did he actually sound…. nervous? Lily eyed him suspiciously.
"Why?"
James suddenly looked up at her in an annoyed fashion, "Listen, I'm just trying to be nice okay! What do I have to do to make you understand that!"
Lily suddenly realised she had the advantage, James's had snapped. He had let his anger show and in doing this, lost his advantage. Lily smirked, "Well you could start by apologizing,"
James opened his mouth obviously to apologise but Lily quickly cut in, "Not now. I think I deserve a better apology than one simply said on the spot," Lily said and turned and walked away, leaving James standing there stunned.
"Said on the spot?" James muttered to himself as he watched her walk away. What WAS it with her? And why did he even want to be around her! The girl only made him angry! That and she was ugly! Well, except her eyes. She had beautiful eyes, probably the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen. BUT THAT WASN'T THE POINT! James groaned, he never had to apologise to anyone! So how in the world was he going to apologise to her? She obviously wouldn't accept a simple 'sorry bout that', or anything like that. WHY DID HE EVEN CARE?!
James groaned and ran his hand through his hair again. She had gotten to him. It had been 6 years since anyone had ever gotten to him like she had. Even Snape never got to him like she did! What was it with Lily Evan?
Lily walked into the girl dormitories and flopped down on her bed. Elayna and Nicole were both sitting on Elayna's bed looking at magazines. It seemed Elayna was having the time of her life explaining the whole make-up and dress thing to Nicole, who actually seemed to take a genuine interest in it, which seemed to please Elayna even more.
"Hey Lily, Halloween is coming up soon, which means a trip to Hogsmeade, what do you think about going to look at dresses then?" Elayna asked offhandedly.
"Why are we looking for dresses?" Lily asked.
"For the Christmas dance of course!" Elayna said as though it was the most important thing in the world.
"E-Elayna s-said s-she'd g-give m-me a-a m-make o-over f-for t-the d-dance," Nicole said happily.
"Wonderful," Lily muttered dryly. Lily stopped. Just because she was angry didn't mean it was right to take it out on Nicole.
Elayna was looking at her appraisingly over the top of her magazine, "Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today," she muttered.
"Er, sorry Nicole, I didn't mean to be rude about it. I suppose you could say I had a bad day," Lily muttered.
"J-james P-potter?" Nicole asked knowingly.
"Was it that obvious?" Lily said with a sad smile.
"Yes, now stop depressing, it's getting annoying," Elayna told her as she turned the page of her magazine.
"Thanks for the comfort," Lily smirked at Elayna.
"Hmm, what do you think about Sirius Black?" Elayna said, not looking up from her magazine.
Lily almost fell to the ground, Sirus Black?! He was in the same group as Potter! "I think I like him about as much as I like Potter, why?"
"Hmm, no reason," Elayna said, still occupied with the magazine.
