Lily POV

"Lily, we need to move on to plan B" Marie said enthusiastically

"We have a plan B?" Crystal asked

"Well not yet but were going to create one." Marie replied

"Look will you guys stop getting excited, all me and James did was chat." I said

"Nonsense" Leah said with a haughty voice "He said that he enjoyed you kissing him."

"So what" I wanted to make it not seem like a big deal, although it was a huge deal to me.

"Yeah, if that's not enough encouragement I don't know what is."

"Then what do you suggest I do?" I asked.

"Well", Marie said slyly. "Crystal, Leah, and I have been thinking," They all looked at each other and nodded.

"MAKEOVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" They all shouted together.

"What?" I said laughing "I don't have time to talk about this; I have to get down to detention.

"Don't worry" Crystal said "Well be waiting for you when you get back."

When I got down to the greenhouses I saw Rowena already sitting in a chair and Professor Huygens standing at her desk. She still had a stern look on her face from before. I walked down to where Rowena was sitting. Rowena turned around and greeted me with a smile. Isn't that odd? Maybe I just imagined it.

"Miss Evans take a seat." Professor Huygens said "I was just telling Miss Davis that you will be dissecting the Opisiener plants in the back." I turned around and saw what looked like 20 Opisiener plants that needed dissecting. This was going to be a very long night. "You can both get started now. When you are done you can leave. I will be gone but i trust that you will both finish your punishment. If i find that you haven't the next morning, consequences will be worse." With that she left me alone with Rowena to do our jobs.

Gosh i hate Opisiener plants, they're like miniature womping willow trees. It was hard to concentrate on the spell to stop the branches from swinging, while the branches were swinging. Rowena and I had come to the conclusion of doing half and half each.

It was weird, but she was being really kind and friendly me. Her happy smiles were starting to scare me. Maybe she was having a great day. I don't know, but it was really freaking me out.

It was about midnight when we finished dissecting all the Opisiener plants. I was SO ready to get out of there. But as I was just about to leave, Rowena stopped me.

"Lily," she said with another one of her freaky smiles "I want to talk to you"

"What about?" I asked.

"Well I just wanted you to forgive me for all the horrible things I've done to you in the past. I know we haven't ever gotten along well, but I just though that maybe we could start over and be friends?" she said with a very serious face.

Did I just hear that right? Rowena Tonka Davis was actually apologizing and asking to be my friend. I must be on a different planet because this is just not normal. No, this must be a bad joke.

"What kind of trick are you trying to pull on me Rowena?" I said very venomously

"Lily, I am just trying to become your friend. It's ridiculous for us to argue all the time. Besides your the one who is always preaching about giving people second chances. So why not me? Please Lily we can put past problems beside us and become friends." She said with such sincerity that I almost believed her. Almost.

"What about James?" I asked, again with some hostility in my voice

"James?" she asked stupidly.

"Yes James." I replied " You know I like him and it's no secret that you like him too."

"Oh, Lily you can have him. Its not going to work out between the two of us. I had to break it off with him, he was being such a jerk. He was mine, but he is all yours Lily if you want him. You have all my permission. As a matter of fact I think the two of you would make a great couple!"

OK, this was just too weird. I looked her over trying to find something to confirm my suspicions, but couldn't find anything. She looked as innocent as possible.

But I'm not stupid, there was no way in hell I was going fall for this. I mean the thought of Lily Evans and Rowena Davis being friends. Yeah, that would be the day.

"Look Rowena I don't know what you're trying to do, but don't think for a second I'm going to believe any of your bullshit." I told her " And as for James, I never needed your permission. James has always been mine."

I turned on my heel and left out the door, leaving a very speechless Rowena gaping like a fish.
