A/N: Next chapter, review! Also, I want to make sure everyone knows this.
The first two chapters were the only two I was intending to write, but
because my reviewers told me to I am writing more. Ok, on with the story!
I looked at James as we walked away from the fort.
"So," I said, trying to fill silence.
"So," he repeated.
"Have you told anyone about the truce?" I asked him.
"No, I don't think it's wise if we do, just yet. Andrea is still getting over me," he said.
"I know it. Every single day it's 'Do you think he likes me?' Over and over! It gets on my nerves!"
He nodded. "It's just like in Congo, when they are all in the jungle-"
"I have heard far too much about that movie."
"But it's a good movie!"
"You have changed a lot, you know," I told him,changing the subject.
He didn't answer, picked up a piece of wood, and continued looking strait
forward. I remembered out purpose here and imitated that.
"You're not as evil as when i firt met you," I said decisively.
"Why do you think that is?" He asked.
"Oh, I don't know. Well, I know what I think," I said, not wanting to
voice what I thought.
"What do you think." James said it as a statement, it sounded as if he was only asking to humor me.
"I think," I stopped for a second, unsure whether to go on or not. "That
it's because of this whole thing with you and Andrea. She liked you, and you didn't know how to act. Or maybe it's just this truce that we have," I said that as fast as was
humanly possible.
We kept walking in silence.
"And it didn't help that you lied to her about liking her, I added.
"I did not lie. At one point I DID like her," James protested quickly.
"Ok. Well that's what I think," I said.
We sank into another period or silence.
"Why did you stop? Liking her, I mean," I asked.
"Oh, many reasons," he said. "We have to get back to the fort, come on,"
he said, and turned around. We went back to the camp, and I was thinking
hard.
***
I stopped to look at my watch. We had been working for almost six hours!
"It shows, this is almost done," I thought, smiling. James and I hadn't
exchanged but a few words, ones such as "Pass the grass," or "do you have a
small stick?"
Sirius was apparently thinking the same think I was. He paused also,
looking at his watch.
"Wow, look at the time! We have been working for quite a while!
Everyone want to come over to my house for lunch, or rather, dinner?" He
asked.
"Sure," Andrea and Megan chorused.
We followed Sirius back down the river to the path, and walked along it.
I glanced to where the deer had been, and noticed James did as well.
We had lunch, and after that none of us felt like going out again, so we
stayed at Sirius'.
"So, what does everyone want to do?" He asked.
"I don't know, what do you want to do?" James replied.
"I don't know, what-" Sirius began, but Andrea cut him off.
"That is quite enough, I am not planning to spend my whole afternoon
saying that over and over."
"Right, but still, what do you want to do?" Sirius asked.
None of us suggested anything, because we didn't want to seem stupid.
"Ok, if none of us is going to suggest anything, how about watch a
movie?" Sirius asked again.
"Yah!" Megan said.
"Oh no, you know what this is going to be," Remus whispered loudly to
James, smiling. "Documentary on the different types of cats."
Megan wrinkled her nose. "Boring."
"Anyone have any other suggestions?" I asked.
"Paddington Bear!" Andrea said, smiling happily.
Everyone looked at her. "Any OTHER suggestions?" I asked again. Andrea
looked indignant.
"Congo! I love that movie!" James said.
"Yah, and I have only watched it with you a million times," Sirius said,
laughing.
"For all we know, James IS a monkey," Remus said, smiling. James proceded to put a dumb look on his face and act like one.
"No, he's a st-" Sirius began, but James hit him on the arm. "That's our
secret!"
"Ok, ok," Sirius said. "We are going to watch Perfect Storm. It's this
odd movie, I haven't seen it, so we are going to watch it."
We all clattered downstairs to the basement, and into the TV room. It
was more of a movie theater, because the screen was huge. There were black
chairs and a black couch around a mahogany table, on a cream colored carpet.
Behind it was a small kitchen. We all spread ourselves out, Andrea, Megan
and I were on the couch with a blanket, and the boys each took a chair.
Sirius turned down the lights, and we all watched the movie. I watched
for a bit, but then became bored. Suddenly I heard a huge growl behind me.
I screamed, and dived under the blanket. I peeked out, and behind the couch
was a huge awful monster . . . or was the James?
Sirius, having noticed this 'huge awful monster,' as I had, turned up the
lights. It was, in fact, James.
"Oh, sorry James, I looked out of the blanket and thought you were a
monster, because you know how light deforms things," I said, laughing.
Andrea and Megan joined in.
"So, you weren't scared?" James said, looking a little disappointed.
"Yes, but only because I thought you were a huge monster. I wasn't too
far off," I said, still laughing.
"Oh," James looked definatly disappointed. He went back to the seat next to the
couch. The movie began once again.
"What happened to the truce?" I whispered, leaning over towards him,
then back again.
I one again became bored, and Andrea, Megan, and I got to talk. When
Sirius turned off the movie, and all three boys were looking at us, we
finally realized that we were being watched.
"Oh, sorry, did we interrupt the movie?" I asked.
"Yes!" They all said.
"Sorry," I said.
"We better go though," Megan said.
"Bye," all the boys said. We left, and went back to Megan's house, only
to end up watching a movie of our choice.
