Don't get me wrong; J is my best friend. That doesn't mean that I don't want to strangle him sometimes. As we wrote in this journal, G's disappearance caused a bit of an uproar. At first, everyone was mad at J because they figured that her disappearance had something to do with him. (Because of the prank war) Then, they saw how pathetic he was, and they all quickly realized that it wasn't his fault. Not too many people were willing to pester him about it either; he just looked that pathetic. That, in itself, is rather pathetic. Seriously, he should just admit that – never mind, now isn't a good time.
Anyways, yesterday, I got sick of J being pathetic. After all, there's only so much that a guy can take. I love G because she's like my sister, but it's been a month already! And I, for one, trust Professor McGonagall's judgment, and I'm totally not bitter that she likes J better than me. Anyhow, I told J to just forget about G for a little while. You know, talk to some other girls, take your mind off G. He took this to the most extreme point that he could have.
Let's see, I told him this at what, 7:00 last night? He's already got with both Jenny and Rosaline. It's 10:00 in the morning right now! By this rate, he's going to have 'dated' all of the fifth, sixth, and seventh year girls by the end of the year! It's not exactly what I meant by have a little fun.
However, I guess that he can finally get some action; he hasn't dated anyone since fourth year after all. Although, I am kind of annoyed that J's fan club as swelled since this morning. (And my little fan club has diminished a little. Not that I'm bitter.) As long as he doesn't look at Lin – anyways, that's why I'm annoyed at him.

Crap, Jane is looking at me. Or was her name Joanna? And now she's walking over here. She does not look happy. In a crying sort of way. Crap. Crying girls are the worst kind.
"Hey, Jenna, what's up?" I asked, hoping for the best.
"Who's this Rosaline girl I'm hearing of? You said you'd love me forever!" she cried. She 'slapped' me across the face and sat down crying next to her friend, who started comforting her. When I say slapped, I mean hit gently on the cheek, by the way. Nothing to the caliber of Gr – anyways.
Her friend, who seemed significantly more put together than her, stomped over to our table. Fred, who had been walking over to the table, started backing away, eventually sitting down at Lindsey's table. Traitor!
I sized up the girl. Petite, brunette, probably a seventh year like her friend. I can probably do this. Smiling, I stood up from the table. "Hey Cheerio," I teased, smiling the most disarming smile I could. It came naturally.
For a second, she faltered. Then she seemed to remember what she was here for. "How could you do that to Jenny?! I mean, she's like the best person you could hope to be with! You should be asham–"
"I thought the very same. But 'Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight! For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night,'" I recited, bending down to kiss her hand. She looked absolutely mesmerized.
"I –"
"Shh! Do not speak," I placed a finger over her mouth, "Meet me under the Whomping Willow if you reciprocate." Leaning forward, I kissed her on the cheek. She turned bright red and ran back to her table. Jamie did not look happy with her. Still, score! I am the best at this!
Fred deemed the table safe for eating again and came back. "Who knew that girls were actually into Shakespeare? I thought it was just Grace's obsession," he exclaimed.
Why did he have to bring her up again!? I was doing just fine. "Yeah…who knew," I said, looking down. "Anyways, we should probably get to class now."
If he noticed that I was depressed again, he didn't show it. "Yep, let's go!"
Why was he so happy?

Even though I didn't get enough reviews to write a new chapter (thanks for that *insert tons of sarcasm*), I gained some followers for this story. So, I decided to update anyways.
Therefore, please continue to review or follow! Thanks :)
