Never Going to Happen
By: Jey4eva
Chapter 6: The Date and some more Fighting
Lily's POV:
"Oh my God! I've been studying all my robes and have discovered that I have nothing to wear!" Kendra shrieked peering out at us from behind her closet.
Ashley and Julie shrugged.
I just popped my bubblegum. I was lying down on my back and staring up into space... Trying to block out Kendra's complains... But I could still hear her wails even though I had a sound blocker surrounding me. I sighed and got out my wand and did the reverse spell. Now I could hear clearer.
"What do you think? I've narrowed it down to 2 choices. Okay, either I cancel the date or... I cancel the date," Kendra said. She smiled brightly, "Which one?"
Ashley and Emily immediately tried consoling her.
"Oh no, Ken. He'll think you're pretty no matter what you wear," Emily said.
Ashley nodded, "And besides, he asked you out when you were wearing your red robes, so why don't you use that one?"
Kendra groaned. She turned to me, "Well Lily? Aren't YOU going to say anything?"
I ignored her and began filing my nails.
"Lily?" Kendra asked walking towards my bed.
I pretended not to hear her.
"Lily?" Kendra said a little louder this time.
I yawned and resumed filing my nails.
"LILY!" Kendra practically shouted in my ear.
I turned as if finally hearing her, "Huh?" I asked innocently.
Kendra rolled her eyes.
Ashley and Emily giggled.
Kendra sagged onto my bed, "My life is over!" She moaned.
"Uh huh," I said. I put aside my nail filer, and grabbed my magazine. I began flipping through the pages.
Kendra sighed. her eyes travelled around the room then stopped at my closet, "That's it!" She exclaimed softly.
I yawned again.
Kendra grabbed me by the shoulders, "Lily!"
"Kendra," I replied, calmly.
"I need you to do me a favor," Kendra said.
"What?" I asked.
"I need you to let me borrow your white robes. You know, the one with the lace and everything?" Kendra asked.
I opened my mouth to protest.
"I promise not to get it dirty. It will be returned to you intact," Kendra reassured me.
"Yes, well what about the time you used my red robes with glitters? Remeber what happened to that?" I asked.
"I payed you back!" Kendra said defensivley.
"But I wasn't able to get the same robe," I replied. "And I really like that white robe. Its the only robe that actually looks GOOD on me."
Now it was my turn to be consoled.
"Awww... Lily, that's not true," Ashley said.
"Yeah, Lil', what about that satin blue dress gown?" Emily asked.
"Or that deep emerald one?" Ashley added.
"Or that-"
"Never mind! Forget I said it!" I snapped. I was secretly pleased... So I don't look as horrible as I think... I thought. So James has no reason to think I'm ugly... So cross off #3495 on "Reasons Why Potter Would Treat Our Kiss As Nothing".
I groaned and stuffed my face in my hands. I pulled my knees up to my chin.
"What is it, Lily?" Ashley asked, concerned.
"Nothing," I muttered.
"Hello?" Kendra demanded. "I'm still patiently waiting."
I shook my head as I raised my head to meet her eyes, "NO!" I said.
Kendra pouted, "Please?" She asked, giving me her puppy dog eyes.
"No no no," I said shaking my head.
"But c'mon Lily, I-" Kendra started.
"La la la la la!" I shouted, covering my ears with my ears.
"Lily!" Kendra cried.
I dropped my hands, "What?"
"What's your problem today?" She asked, frowning. "Are you upset about something?"
"No," I said, hotly.
"Then what's the big deal in lending me your robes?!" Kendra shrieked.
I shrugged, "I just don't wanna," I mumbled.
"But why!" Kendra asked, exasperated. "I mean, I could put a charm on it so it wouldn't get any of James's germs or stains or"
I was weakening... No matter how mad I was at Kendra... She had no clue... But I shouldn't be mad at her... She didn't do anything wrong... James did... the bastard.
I sighed, "Okay," I said giving into Kendra's pleas.
Kendra flung her arms around me in a huge hug, "Oh thank you Lily!" She cried. "You're the best!" She let go of me then ran to my closet flinging the doors open.
I closed my eyes and lay back down. I wish I could just lie down here and die, I thought... Yeah, that's it... I'll just lie down here and die!
Kendra got dressed and fixed her hair.
Ashley and Emily were giving her compliments, and me... I was still lying down, with my eyes closed... My friends being oblivious of me...
Why am I so depressed? I thought. Its not like you REALLY CARE that James Potter is dating your friend... I mean, its not like you EVER had any feelings for him...
But I do care, I thought stubbornly, fighting with my myself. For some reason... I do...
You pushed away when he kissed you... He was trying to kiss you! I screamed to myself. And you pushed him away... Because it felt... weird... I thought. Unreal, like in a dream...
Oh who cares? I thought helplessly. Its over, it didn't even start... He's going out with Kendra, and he'll probably fall in love with her and they'll get married and have kids and you'll be called "Aunt Lily".
"James!" Kendra shrieked.
What about him? I thought, glumly.
"James what are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here! Its against the rules!" Kendra shrieked.
"Do you mind if I brought the guys?" James asked.
James's voice... I thought. Why was I hearing his voice?
"What's with Evans?" James asked, a hint of amusement in her voice. "Is she taking a wittle' nap?"
"I dunno, she just closed her eyes and she probably fell asleep," Kendra said. I could feel everyone's eyes on me.
"Maybe we should make her a surprise before she wakes up," Sirius's mischievious voice said.
Oh God, I thought. But I remained with my eyes closed.
"What do you say, Remus? You up for a nice prank?" Sirius asked.
"On Lily?" Remus asked, a hint of fear in his voice.
That's right, I thought smugly. Go ahead Sirius, and when I get up you're going to be a dead man.
Sirius gave an exasperated sigh, "Please Remus!" He said. "Don't tell me that you're scared of one of Lily's temper tantrums.
I had had enough.
"Temper tantrums!" I cried shrilly. I sat up, glaring.
James's POV:
Damn it, I thought. I had been studying Lily, as she had lyed there, looking as beautiful as ever. No, James. Don't you dare! I thought. You can't be thinking sbout Lily, let alone any other girl besides Kendra as you go on this date. It isn't right.
Sirius glanced at me, with pursed lips. He had his 'whoops' expression.
I covered my mouth to hide a snort.
Lily's legs swung off the bed... I couldn't help noticing how incredibly long her legs were... She was wearing a black mini-skrit and a blouse, with her robes open in the front.
"How dare you," Lily said as she stood up, hands on her hips. "Temper tantrums?!"
"Uhhh... Lily, look, it was just a joke," Sirius said, holding up his hands. "You know me, not living up to my name... Haha, you get it? Sirius?"
Lily scowled.
Sirius's smile froze in place.
"Ah well, Kendra, why don't we go," I said, breaking the silence.
Kendra nodded, looking worredly at Sirius and Lily.
I led Kendra out of the room then turned around just in time to see Lily wrestle poor Sirius to the ground. I laughed and closed the door behind me.
"Well, shall we?" I asked Kendra.
She frowned, "I still don't see how we're going to get to Hogsmeade without permission."
I grinned, "We don't need permission to get to Hogsmeade."
"Oh, really?" Kendra asked mockingly. "Then how do you expect to get to Hogsmeade? What we'll just float out the doors and hope that no one will see us?- Right."
"Sort of," I replied.
Kendra gave me a confused look.
I grinned and pulled out something. It was a silver cape that was weightless.
Kendra gasped, "Is that- Is that what I think it is?"
I grinned, "What do you think it is?"
"Is it an Invisibility Cloak?" She asked.
I was about to reply when I heard a squeal come from the dorm room. I turned sharply in the door's direction.
"That sounded like Lily," I said.
Kendra grinned, "I bet Sirius is kicking Lily's ass."
I looked at her in horror, "Sirius... Kicking Lily's ass?" I asked.
Oh God, poor Lily, I thought. And I've always appreciated her nice ass, too. (A/N: LOL! Sorry, just had to put that...)
Kendra noticed my expression, "What James? I was just kidding you know."
"Huh? Oh, oh yeah, I know- You were just kidding... Yeah," I said nodding. I kept staring at the door.
Kendra looked at me pointedly, "Well, are we going or what?"
"Uhhh... Yeah, sure. Let's go," I said, putting the cloak over the two of us.
I told Kendra to close her eyes and led her out of the Gryffindor tower and to the statue of the witch. (A/N: Wait, is that right?)
Lily's POV:
"Ow ow ow OW!" I cired under Sirius's grip.
"You give?" Sirius asked, grinning.
I rolled my eyes and grunted a reply. Sirius took it as a yes and let go of my wrist. I sighed with relief and grasped my aching wrist.
Ashley and Emily were sitting on my bed looking stunned.
Remus and Peter were grinning like idiots.
"Get (pant) out," I panted.
"Awww... C'mon Lils! It was just a joke..." Sirius said, smiling.
"Get out!" I exclaimed.
Sirius chuckled and put an arm around me, "Aww! Poor Lily! Gets mad cause' she got beat up by a BOY," he teased.
I elbowed him hard in the ribs.
"Oof!"
Remus laughed.
Sirius sat down next to Ashley on the bed, "So what's up?"
Remus looked out the door, "I wonder what James and Kendra are doing right now..."
"Probably snogging with MY robes," I muttered.
Sirius grinned as if an idea just occured in his head, which was impossible. "Well, there's only one way to find out what they're doing..."
"What?" Peter asked.
Sirius rolled his eyes, "We go after them!"
Remus rubbed his hands together excitedly, "Oh! This should be good. We're going on one of our adventures eh?"
Sirius nodded, "We're going on the biggest adventure of them all..."
"Potter's date?" I asked, sarcastically.
Sirius nodded, "Mhmm. Anyone else want to tag along?"
Ashley and Emily got off the bed. Remus was already out the door. Peter looked from me to Sirius then turned and followed Remus. Ashley and Emily were next. Sirius stayed back to look at me.
"You coming Lil'?" Sirius asked.
"Are you insane? Go to wherever James went with Kendra? Why the bloody hell would I want to spy on them?!"
Sirius shrugged, "I dunno... I just thought you'd want to know what James did with his dates... You know, just in case sometime in the future, you'll be one of them..."
I glared at him, "That wasn't funny," I said, restraining myself from lunging at his neck and strangling him.
Sirius laughed, "Oh yes it was." He turned and walked out of the dorm.
I groaned as he left and looked around the room for something to hit, or destroy... Maybe Kendra had a picture with James AND Sirius...
But, I couldn't find anything, and I soon got bored...
James's POV:
"How did we... Where did we... What?!" Kendra exclaimed as I led her to a table in the Three Broomsticks.
"It was magic," I said, giving her a line that I've given to a few other girls like her.
Kendra giggled.
"I'm going to get us some butterbeers, okay?" I asked.
She nodded and I left to go to Madame Rosmerta.
Kendra's POV:
I sighed and looked around in wonderment. How did we get here, I thought. Well, it didin't matter, as long as I was here with James... But my thoughts went from James to Lily... Why had she been so annoyed that I had asked for her robes? Did it have something to do with James?
I laughed at the idea... right, Lily having feelings for James...
James returned with two butterbeers and I sipped it slowly.
"So..." James said, grinning at me.
"So..." I chorused. "Um, well, how did the detention go with Lily the other night? Did you have a sponge fight or something?" I laughed, uncertainly.
James's eyes suddenly had a far-away look to them, "Hmmm, the detention? Well, it wasn't so bad..."
"Oh," I muttered.
"Lily taught me how to wash dishes the Muggle way... I broke a plate," he said sheepishly.
I laughed.
********
Sirius's POV:
Remus yawned.
"We've been here for over an hour... James isn't doing his moves," Remus said.
"His moves?" Ashley asked, with raised eyebrows.
I nodded, "Yup... God, I never knew James could be so BORING! All they're talking about is the usual boring crap... Hogwarts, Quidditch... Hogwarts..."
Peter snorted with laughter.
Emily gave him a disgusted look.
"Lily, what do you think about Quidditch?" James asked.
I yawned.
"Wait a minute," Emily said suddenly. "I've just noticed... That's the 3rd time, he's called her Lily."
"What?!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening. I looked over at James from our hiding spot under a table. Kendra was frowning.
"James," she said slowly. "That's the 3rd time you've called me Lily," she said.
"Huh?" James asked. His eyes widened in alarm, "Oh God..."
"So, what's Potter doing?" A voice asked from behind me.
I turned around, "Lily! What took you so long?"
Lily shrugged, "I had to get permission to go to Hogsmeade for a project- McGonangal was nice enough not to ask TOO MUCH questions... So what's been going on?"
We gave eachother looks, then I looked up.
"Nothing much," I said, smiling.
"What?" Lily asked, frowning.
Lily's POV:
'Nothing much' I thought. How can that be possible? And why was Sirius smiling like an idiot and everyone else avoiding my eyes?
I bit my lip... Whatever it was, I was going to find out.
"What is it?" I demanded.
Remus shook his head, "Nothing."
I looked over at James and Kendra- nothing out of the ordinary. I frowned, what was going on? I rolled my eyes and plopped down under the table.
James and Kendra were getting up. Was the date over?
"Is it over?" I whispered.
Remus shrugged, "I guess so."
Sirius grinned, "Let's see if he gives her a goodbye kiss."
We slowly made our way from under the table and followed them out the door. They were in front of the Three Broomsticks, talking quietly.
I couldn't hear them.
Suddenly, James pulled Kendra to him and kissed her. She stood stunned, but then pulled him back for another kiss.
Sirius looked over at me to see my reaction but I turned away from him. Away from James and Kendra...
"Lily!" Ashley exclaimed softly. "You're crying."
"I am?" I asked, frowning. "Ugh!" I groaned and wiped them away angrily. "Must be the wind," I muttered. "I'm going back," I said and walked away.
**********
James's POV:
"Um, so, I was wondering... Would you like to go to the Halloween Ball with me?" I asked Kendra as we stopped outside her room.
Kendra smiled happily, "Sure."
"Great," I said softly. "Okay, well, see ya later."
"See you," she said, and walked into her dorm.
I glanced in and saw Lily on her bed, face down on her bed.
"What's wrong Lily?" I heard Kendra say before the door closed quietly.
Damn, I thought. What was wrong with Evans?
I went down to the Common Room and Sirius immediatley pounced me with questions.
"So, how was the date, Prongs?" He asked.
I shrugged, "It was good. Why?"
Sirius grinned, "I bet it was good."
Remus nudged him.
"What do you mean by that?" I demanded.
Sirius shrugged, still grinning.
I turned to Peter who was cowering on his bed. Peter could never keep his mouth shut for too long...
"Peter..." I said slowly.
Peter squeaked.
"Where were you during my date?" I asked.
Peter covered his mouth with his hands.
I rolled my eyes, "Don't make me put a spell on you, Peter," I said.
Peter reluctantly took his hands off his mouth, "We were... We were under a table in the Three Broomsticks," he said.
"Who's 'we'?" I asked.
Peter glanced at Sirius uneasily who was still grinning.
"Us, and Lily's friends."
My eyes narrowed, "Was Lily there?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.
"Yupperee do- Lily, was there," Sirius answered for him.
I hit Sirius, "What'd you bring her along for?"
Sirius shrugged.
Remus pursed his lips and girnned teasingly, "Besides James- I thought you didn't like Lily."
"I DON'T!" I said hotly. "How many times do I have to tell you? I just don't want her watching my dates with her friend."
"So are you going with her to the ball?" Sirius asked.
"Of course," I said.
Sirius grinned teasingly, "I didn't say who," he said.
"Oh shut up!" I said.
Lily's POV:
I sighed as Kendra, Ashley, and Emily dragged me down to the Common Room.
"Let's play Wizard Chess," Emily suggested.
I sighed.
"C'mon Lily. Spill, why are you so down?" Kendra demanded.
"Nothing," I muttered. 'There;s nothing to spill."
We walked to a table with a chess set on it.
Emily sat down on a chair. Ashley pushed me to the opposite chair. I looked up to find James coming to our table.
I groaned.
Kendra looked up and grinned, "Hi James."
"Hi," he said. "Um, can I speak to Evans- ALONE."
Kendra shrugged, "Sure."
The three of the left.
"What?" I asked.
"I don't get what your problem is, Evans," James snapped, sitting down on the chair across from me.
"I have a problem?" I asked.
"No sane person would spy on someone on their date. Why were you spying on me?" He demanded. "Tell me!"
I was speechless... Why had I spied on him?
"I..." I trailed off.
"I find it very odd for a person that declared in 3rd year that I was the lowest person alive- to start spying on me," James said, glaring.
"Well I-" I started, but James cut me off.
"And after our argument yesterday, I thought you would want to have NOTHING to do with me," James said.
"But I-"
"And you know what Evans? I'm sick of you too. Ever since 1st year, I've thought you were a bitch," James said.
"Now wait just a minute-" I demanded.
"No, YOU wait Evans," James said. "I don't get why you were making a big deal out of me going out with Kendra. For one thing- When we kissed, you pushed me away. So, what? Am I supposed to think that you're going to think of it as something when YOU'RE the one that pushed me away. You've got to have some mental problems to think that. And you've got to be kidding if you ever thought I'd have feelings for you. You wanna know what I think of you Evans? I think you're a selfish, spoiled brat, and you can go to-"
Out of nowhere, my hand flew and hit the side of his face. When my hand and met his skin, I gasped and dropped it.
I stood there calmly as James glared at me.
"Go to hell, James," I said softly, then walked calmly up the stairs to the girls' dormitory.
A/N: WHOO! Wow... I thought I'd give James a chance to speak his mind... Of course I think he got carried away... Or maybe that was my hands fault... AHHH!
Well, as my characters get a 5 minute break, I think James is cursing me as he throws up somewhere... (Like Ryan Philippe in "Cruel Intentions") AWWW! He's cursing me because he didn't like saying those mean words to Lily...
I'm sorry, I'm a little hyper right now...
But please review! Please~please~please!

Sirius nodded, "We're going on the biggest adventure of them all..."
"Potter's date?" I asked, sarcastically.
Sirius nodded, "Mhmm. Anyone else want to tag along?"
Ashley and Emily got off the bed. Remus was already out the door. Peter looked from me to Sirius then turned and followed Remus. Ashley and Emily were next. Sirius stayed back to look at me.
"You coming Lil'?" Sirius asked.
"Are you insane? Go to wherever James went with Kendra? Why the bloody hell would I want to spy on them?!"
Sirius shrugged, "I dunno... I just thought you'd want to know what James did with his dates... You know, just in case sometime in the future, you'll be one of them..."
I glared at him, "That wasn't funny," I said, restraining myself from lunging at his neck and strangling him.
Sirius laughed, "Oh yes it was." He turned and walked out of the dorm.
I groaned as he left and looked around the room for something to hit, or destroy... Maybe Kendra had a picture with James AND Sirius...
But, I couldn't find anything, and I soon got bored...
James's POV:
"How did we... Where did we... What?!" Kendra exclaimed as I led her to a table in the Three Broomsticks.
"It was magic," I said, giving her a line that I've given to a few other girls like her.
Kendra giggled.
"I'm going to get us some butterbeers, okay?" I asked.
She nodded and I left to go to Madame Rosmerta.
Kendra's POV:
I sighed and looked around in wonderment. How did we get here, I thought. Well, it didin't matter, as long as I was here with James... But my thoughts went from James to Lily... Why had she been so annoyed that I had asked for her robes? Did it have something to do with James?
I laughed at the idea... right, Lily having feelings for James...
James returned with two butterbeers and I sipped it slowly.
"So..." James said, grinning at me.
"So..." I chorused. "Um, well, how did the detention go with Lily the other night? Did you have a sponge fight or something?" I laughed, uncertainly.
James's eyes suddenly had a far-away look to them, "Hmmm, the detention? Well, it wasn't so bad..."
"Oh," I muttered.
"Lily taught me how to wash dishes the Muggle way... I broke a plate," he said sheepishly.
I laughed.
********
Sirius's POV:
Remus yawned.
"We've been here for over an hour... James isn't doing his moves," Remus said.
"His moves?" Ashley asked, with raised eyebrows.
I nodded, "Yup... God, I never knew James could be so BORING! All they're talking about is the usual boring crap... Hogwarts, Quidditch... Hogwarts..."
Peter snorted with laughter.
Emily gave him a disgusted look.
"Lily, what do you think about Quidditch?" James asked.
I yawned.
"Wait a minute," Emily said suddenly. "I've just noticed... That's the 3rd time, he's called her Lily."
"What?!" I exclaimed, my eyes widening. I looked over at James from our hiding spot under a table. Kendra was frowning.
"James," she said slowly. "That's the 3rd time you've called me Lily," she said.
"Huh?" James asked. His eyes widened in alarm, "Oh God..."
"So, what's Potter doing?" A voice asked from behind me.
I turned around, "Lily! What took you so long?"
Lily shrugged, "I had to get permission to go to Hogsmeade for a project- McGonangal was nice enough not to ask TOO MUCH questions... So what's been going on?"
We gave eachother looks, then I looked up.
"Nothing much," I said, smiling.
"What?" Lily asked, frowning.
Lily's POV:
'Nothing much' I thought. How can that be possible? And why was Sirius smiling like an idiot and everyone else avoiding my eyes?
I bit my lip... Whatever it was, I was going to find out.
"What is it?" I demanded.
Remus shook his head, "Nothing."
I looked over at James and Kendra- nothing out of the ordinary. I frowned, what was going on? I rolled my eyes and plopped down under the table.
James and Kendra were getting up. Was the date over?
"Is it over?" I whispered.
Remus shrugged, "I guess so."
Sirius grinned, "Let's see if he gives her a goodbye kiss."
We slowly made our way from under the table and followed them out the door. They were in front of the Three Broomsticks, talking quietly.
I couldn't hear them.
Suddenly, James pulled Kendra to him and kissed her. She stood stunned, but then pulled him back for another kiss.
Sirius looked over at me to see my reaction but I turned away from him. Away from James and Kendra...
"Lily!" Ashley exclaimed softly. "You're crying."
"I am?" I asked, frowning. "Ugh!" I groaned and wiped them away angrily. "Must be the wind," I muttered. "I'm going back," I said and walked away.
**********
James's POV:
"Um, so, I was wondering... Would you like to go to the Halloween Ball with me?" I asked Kendra as we stopped outside her room.
Kendra smiled happily, "Sure."
"Great," I said softly. "Okay, well, see ya later."
"See you," she said, and walked into her dorm.
I glanced in and saw Lily on her bed, face down on her bed.
"What's wrong Lily?" I heard Kendra say before the door closed quietly.
Damn, I thought. What was wrong with Evans?
I went down to the Common Room and Sirius immediatley pounced me with questions.
"So, how was the date, Prongs?" He asked.
I shrugged, "It was good. Why?"
Sirius grinned, "I bet it was good."
Remus nudged him.
"What do you mean by that?" I demanded.
Sirius shrugged, still grinning.
I turned to Peter who was cowering on his bed. Peter could never keep his mouth shut for too long...
"Peter..." I said slowly.
Peter squeaked.
"Where were you during my date?" I asked.
Peter covered his mouth with his hands.
I rolled my eyes, "Don't make me put a spell on you, Peter," I said.
Peter reluctantly took his hands off his mouth, "We were... We were under a table in the Three Broomsticks," he said.
"Who's 'we'?" I asked.
Peter glanced at Sirius uneasily who was still grinning.
"Us, and Lily's friends."
My eyes narrowed, "Was Lily there?" I asked, my voice barely a whisper.
"Yupperee do- Lily, was there," Sirius answered for him.
I hit Sirius, "What'd you bring her along for?"
Sirius shrugged.
Remus pursed his lips and girnned teasingly, "Besides James- I thought you didn't like Lily."
"I DON'T!" I said hotly. "How many times do I have to tell you? I just don't want her watching my dates with her friend."
"So are you going with her to the ball?" Sirius asked.
"Of course," I said.
Sirius grinned teasingly, "I didn't say who," he said.
"Oh shut up!" I said.
Lily's POV:
I sighed as Kendra, Ashley, and Emily dragged me down to the Common Room.
"Let's play Wizard Chess," Emily suggested.
I sighed.
"C'mon Lily. Spill, why are you so down?" Kendra demanded.
"Nothing," I muttered. 'There;s nothing to spill."
We walked to a table with a chess set on it.
Emily sat down on a chair. Ashley pushed me to the opposite chair. I looked up to find James coming to our table.
I groaned.
Kendra looked up and grinned, "Hi James."
"Hi," he said. "Um, can I speak to Evans- ALONE."
Kendra shrugged, "Sure."
The three of the left.
"What?" I asked.
"I don't get what your problem is, Evans," James snapped, sitting down on the chair across from me.
"I have a problem?" I asked.
"No sane person would spy on someone on their date. Why were you spying on me?" He demanded. "Tell me!"
I was speechless... Why had I spied on him?
"I..." I trailed off.
"I find it very odd for a person that declared in 3rd year that I was the lowest person alive- to start spying on me," James said, glaring.
"Well I-" I started, but James cut me off.
"And after our argument yesterday, I thought you would want to have NOTHING to do with me," James said.
"But I-"
"And you know what Evans? I'm sick of you too. Ever since 1st year, I've thought you were a bitch," James said.
"Now wait just a minute-" I demanded.
"No, YOU wait Evans," James said. "I don't get why you were making a big deal out of me going out with Kendra. For one thing- When we kissed, you pushed me away. So, what? Am I supposed to think that you're going to think of it as something when YOU'RE the one that pushed me away. You've got to have some mental problems to think that. And you've got to be kidding if you ever thought I'd have feelings for you. You wanna know what I think of you Evans? I think you're a selfish, spoiled brat, and you can go to-"
Out of nowhere, my hand flew and hit the side of his face. When my hand and met his skin, I gasped and dropped it.
I stood there calmly as James glared at me.
"Go to hell, James," I said softly, then walked calmly up the stairs to the girls' dormitory.
A/N: WHOO! Wow... I thought I'd give James a chance to speak his mind... Of course I think he got carried away... Or maybe that was my hands fault... AHHH!
Well, as my characters get a 5 minute break, I think James is cursing me as he throws up somewhere... (Like Ryan Philippe in "Cruel Intentions") AWWW! He's cursing me because he didn't like saying those mean words to Lily...
I'm sorry, I'm a little hyper right now...
But please review! Please~please~please!
