She was, without a doubt, the most beautiful thing I had ever seen. I had seen her before, but I was young then, and now, at the age of fifteen, I notice her. Her amazing hair, flaming red, and her eyes…God, her eyes!
What really attracted me to her, was her name. Her name was Lily. I know my Mum loved lilies. Obsessed is a better word for it. Aunt always told me about how Mum would constantly visit Monet's garden so she could see the lilies. It was always about the lilies.
Anyway, I had been friends with Lily for quite some time. But this year, I just wanted to…I don't even know! There was just this feeling that burned inside my chest, and I couldn't stop it! I even took Peter's Pepcid AC, and that didn't help either! Of course, it was a Muggle product…they tend to not work for me.
"James?"
I look up, and see her looking at me. Oh my gosh! She smiled at me! That beauty smiled at messy haired me! I can't believe this, she's so great!
I wish you could meet her, Mum. She's so perfect, you'd really like her. You too, Dad. You'd slap me on the back and say, "proud of you, son!" At least, I think you would. I don't know how you and Mum react to girls. And dating.
I know one thing: Aunt doesn't like it. She hates the idea of me liking a girl. I wrote her a letter telling her about it. I also wrote one to Josh: he's been like my father. He'll never be my Dad, but he's like a father. He watches out for me, explains guy stuff to me, and he told me to grab this girl while I still can.
But what if she doesn't like me? I'd be crushed. Sirius, that's my best friend in the whole world, said that she's a "hot chick who'd love to get in the sack." I don't think of her that way. I think of her more as a beautiful girl who is kind and sweet and perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Remus, my other best friend, said that I should ask her to get some butterbeer with me when we go to Hogsmead. I could do that. That's not a date, is it? I think I'll have to ask Joel about it. What do you think, Dad? How did you ask Mum out? I wish I knew.
Joel said he asked his wife, Alice, out when they were fifteen. And they're married, now! But I doubt I'll be as lucky as to marry Lily. She's too good for me. I mean, she's amazing! I can't marry someone who is amazing. I only deserve cool. Or special. Not amazing!
DAAAAAAAAD! Help me out here! Very rarely will I disturb you from your eternal sleep, in fact this is the first time since you and Mum passed away, but I need help with this one! What do I say to her? How do I act? Normal? Macho? No, not macho. I was talking to Sophie, and she said that girls hate macho guys. Not macho. No machoness. Macho is evil.
But then how do I act?! Oh DAD! Help me out here! Mum? What would you prefer? She's a lot like you, what do you want?! HELP ME OUT HERE! I'M SO SCARED!
Sigh. Sighsighsighsighsigh. That's all I seem to be doing, lately. Damn stress! Damn love! Damn it all! Okay, well, that anger stage is over. I'm okay, honest! But Dad, I need some serious help here. What do I do?
I just got an owl from Joel. His advise is what I was thinking of. So I'll do the opposite.
You can go back to sleep, Mum and Dad. And don't worry about me, I'll be okay. I just be tough and hang in there. And, of course, Mum, when necessary I will cry. Just like you told me to.
Goodbye, Mum.
Goodbye, Dad.
Hello, Lily.
