James and Sirius ~ best friends change

~as told from James' point of view~

I got off the Hogwarts train. I looked around for Sirius or Remus. Neither one of them were around. But then i saw a group of boys huddled around one other boy.

"C'mon, say it again!" Jacob Parkinson exclaimed. "James Potter is an arrogant soul! He is no longer my-" Sirius said, then saw me.

I just stood there, slowly comprehending what Sirius just said. H-he said I was arrogant and...not his best friend.? He thought.

Sirius looked as though he meant it. He didn't come up to me and apologize as if he were kidding.

Sirius meant this. I was distraught. How could my best friend do something like this to me? I thought as I walked over to a carriage.

Remus caught up with me. He was in that crowd with Sirius and Jacob and all the other boys. I started to loose some trust..

"James, I'm sorry about Sirius, he's changing." Remus sighed.

"Why were you in that group if you still care about me??" I frowned at the floor. "James," he put his hand on my back. "I wanted to see what the commotion was about. You know, Sirius always gathers a crowd."

"Yeah, Remus, but doesnt mean you have to GO TO the crowd!" I said, looking down and starting to tear up. "Remus, you're one of the only people thats still my friend. Because im so-so arrogant.."

"James, look at me. You're not arrogant. If anything, Sirius is arrogant."

Sirius just so happened to be walking by at that very second. Sirius looked at Remus. "Remus, do you know who you're talking to? Someone who says studying is a waste and werewolves are ugly." Sirius walked away with an evil smirk.

Remus looked at me and narrowed his eyes. "WHAT is he talking about?!"

I was taken aback. Why would Sirius try and lie for my best friend to hate me?

"Remus, he's lyin! My brother is..a werewolf, too.." I sighed. "Thomas Potter."

Remus' eyes widened. "Tom is a werewolf?!"

"Keep your big mouth shut! Tom will kill me if he found out i told anyone!" I shushed him up.

Little did I know, Sirius was listening around the corner..
