Summary:

Following the strict guidelines of Jewel5's "In A Nutshell", we present to you "The EPIC!": It's Lily and her friends last year, and they intend to make the most of it. Lily instead gets ensnarled by James Potter's new outlook on life- he's nicer, more responsible, and somehow seemed to have gotten hotter over the summer. Will she fall for his charm?
~~~Enjoy the EPIC!

I stare at the paper in shock. James Potter? As in the James Potter? Oh bloody hell.

I stare at the paper for a good 5 minutes, until my mum calls "Lily, we have to leave for you to catch the train!"

Hurriedly, I pack away the remaining things on my bed and desk. I make sure all my textbooks are packed away. I pick up my suitcase and carry on, and made sure my owl, Helena, was still under my arm in her cage. I magic my suitcase downstairs, just to freak my sister out. I love being 17.

My dad places my bags into the trunk. My mum got into the front seat and I slide into the back seat. Mum tells me that Petunia couldn't come to send me off because she was busy all day. But I knew she wasn't.

We make it to King's Cross Station, and my dad takes out all of my luggage, and hands it to me. My mum and dad both kiss and hug me before I crossed the barrier. They stopped doing that after 3rd year, I could understand, running into a solid wall was pretty weird. I wave goodbye to my parents right before I break into a run toward the barrier.

The second I make it onto the other side, I look around for my best friends, Marie and Marleen. I couldn't spot Marie anywhere, but instantly spot Marleen. She's hard to miss.

I wave to her once she turns to me, and instantly she runs toward me. Her dark, chestnut brown hair flows behind her as she runs toward me. It's styled perfectly and the light was making it shine. Her hair smelled like strawberries and a hint of musk (which was a very strange combination - but Marleen could pull it off), which overwhelmed my sense of smell when she flung her arms around my neck and hugged me tightly.

When we pulled away, Marleen's brown eyes were shining and more noticeable than usual - I could see a light layer of eyeliner on. Marleen didn't usually wear makeup (just special occasions) because she was naturally beautiful. Her full, light rose colored lips were pulled into a very mischievous smile that you could always find adorning her mouth, as the same with, of course, Sirius Black's.

Her body was covered by a very revealing tank top, and some short shorts. Said Sirius Black was always caught eyeing her, which was understandable, because Marleen was the hottest girl in Hogwarts. She wasn't all that athletic, but had a naturally fast metabolism and was just, well just very skinny with big breasts.

Lily noticed Sirius staring at Marleen from the other side of the station. Within 5 minutes, they will have come together to flirt, dragging their respective friends with them, and I really didn't want to talk to Potter right now - or ever.

Marleen and Sirius' staring contest paused when our other best friend, Marie, runs to us. She was a petite, blond girl, and seeing her right next to Marleen always made me laugh, since they were like complete opposites. Marie's light blue eyes radiated kindness, and she was always nice to everyone. No one could legitimately say one bad thing about her. Pretty much the entire school knows she has a huge crush on Remus Lupin, and everyone knows he likes her back. It's only a matter of time till they get together.

Marie smiles largely at the both of us. "It took me forever to find you guys." She gushed out quickly still slightly panting. "But then I spotted your hair, Lily, and I rushed right over."

I blush. My dark, fiery red hair was of course, my most noticeable feature. My best friends love it, and said how green with envy they become when they compare our hair, which was, of course, a pun on my piercing green eyes. I didn't understand why they loved the red hair so much – it was untamable in the mornings, and usually a thick, curly mess, unless I took the time to straighten it. Sometime, I would get lucky and have nice, wavy hair when I woke up, but that hardly ever happens. What I love most about myself is my eyes – my fiery green eyes. They're one thing that I feel most confident about myself that looks pretty. I wasn't short – but I wasn't tall either. My body shape was perfectly – fierily – average…of course, I also have scarlet red hair and bright green eyes.

I'm also known for my fiery temper. Usually, I can tone it done, but when an egoistic, Quidditch loving git is concerned, it usually get a little overboard – okay a lot overboard.

I blush dark red when Marie and Marleen start laughing at me, and I mumble a feeble "Shut up" towards them.

Over Marie and Marleen's conversation ("How was your summer?" "Paris was amazing! How was Spain?" "Absolutely fantastic!"...), I turn and see my boyfriend of 1 year, Jonathon Michael, walking closer to me. I blush again, and wave at him. He smiles cheerily and waves back.

We slowly walk towards each other, and meet somewhere in the middle, about 12 feet way from my friends. We smile shyly at each other.

"Hey", I say softly to him.

"Hey", he whispers back.

We're just looking at each other for a couple seconds, and Jonathon opens his mouth to say something when James Potter - James Potter - the absolute last person I want to see right now, comes out of nowhere and says loudly:

"Omigosh Lily how was your summer? I know mine was great. But I never forgot about you. You never replied to any of my letters. You did get my letters right?..."

Damn you Potter

Hey guys, sorry about the long wait for this one. But it's super long, so I hope that made up for it :) That's because I had like a month to write it... :P

Tell me what you guys thought of your first glance at Lily's boyfriend ;) he's gonna be described in the next chapter. Hehe, hope you guys liked his name...stole it right out of the suggestions in In a Nutshell :P LOL he was 2 first names :)

Also next chapter: The Marauders! Yayy. James (hott), Sirius (double hott), Remus (yummy), and Peter (eewww the rat) haha just had to add that... ;P

PS: the title, BF, can of course be taken two ways: Best Friends or Boyfriend. I really don't care which way you take it, cause I meant for it to be vague :D
