If you do not want to see me again
I would understand
Third Eye Blind - Jumper
It's amzing how many songs fit so perfectly with life (my life, Good Riddance, but totally besides the point). Anyhow, on with Lily regreting then deciding to hate James really hates Lily.
"James got dissed." Sirius was laughing so hysterically he was rolling on the floor. "I never thought...-" he couldn't continue, from lack of breath. "...never..."
James glared at his best friend. "Shut up," he muttered. "You know, this is when you're supposed to be here for me, say it was he dumb mistake, that she's a little b*tch."
"But then I would be telling a lie." Sirius jumped up, turnng serious. "Sorry, Prongs, but you needed that... honestly, that ego of yours..."
'Prongs' glared at Sirius. "I hate her. I honestly, truly, hate her."
"Why didn't you say yes?" Karana asked her friend cautiously. But Lily glared at her friend anyway.
"Because he didn't expect me to say no." Lily made it seem like the most obvious statement ever.
Karana plooped down onto her bed, not ready to give up that easily. "So you just do whatever people don't expect you to do?" There was childish naivity in her voice, but she had intended it that way, in order to make her question look completly innocent.
"No...well, yes, if must know." Lily scowled, frustrated. She didn't know what she wanted.
Karana smiled at her friend knowingly. "Quidditch tryouts started five minutes ago, in case you wondering." Lily gasped, turned red, turned pale, grabbed her broom, and sprinted out of the room. Karana lifted an eyebrow.
"Sorry!" Lily skidded her broom to a halt inches away from Wood. "I...lost track of time." She glanced over at James, who was pointedly not looking her way. "Sorry," she repeated quietly. But she wasn't talking to Wood.
Wood looked slightly miffed that Lily didn't see Quidditch as a life and death matter, but seemed to like hr enough to momentarily forget that fact.
"Right... well today, we're going to split you up into different positions," he looked over thegroup desparingly, praying that he'dmissed something the past two days of tryouts. "I'll be working primarily with the keepers, but check in on the rest of you. Sirius will run some drills through with the beaters," he turned to glare at Sirius,giving him a look that clearly said NO TROUBLE. Sirius smiled innocently. "James and Lily, why don't you work with the chasers." He turned to smile at Lily and James. Apparently he'd forgotton he was mad at James. "If you're a seeker...please come talk to me." He gave a brief smile to Will Chang, who nodded and walked over to Sirius.
"I'm supposed to help you," he said shyly. "Actually...I'm supposed to be a moving target. Coach thinks it'll improve my game."
Sirius lifted an eyebrow, mind racing through all the possibilities of a willing moving target. He smiled, rubbing his hands together. "Yo!" he shouted, causing Wood to look up from his you-didn't-make-the-team speech. "Beaters! Shake your butt and get over here!"
Wood dismissed the would-be seekers, and beckoned to Lily and James. Both looked up to see if Gildroy's feet were among those trudging away, but were dissappointed. Neither looked at eachother.
"I'm going to be spending most of my time with the Keepers and Beaters today." He turned to glare at Sirius. "Which means I'm pretty much trusting your judgement on the third chaser." Lily smiled slighty; it was one thing to be pretty sure you were on the team, and entirely another to hear it from the coaches own lips.
They nodded, and went to the five assembled chasers. And still not a word had passed between them.
"Right," Lily said, after checking to make sure James wasn't going to take charge. "Um... why don't you start off just passing back and forth?" The students nodded, and lept into the air. Except Gildroy. Of course.
"Okay," he said, smiling at both of them. "I know you were just trying to get rid of them, so you can tell me I made the team. But you needn't bother. I already knew." He smile was so infuriating Lily wanted to scream.
"Gildroy," she said, her voice dropping to deadly menace. Gildroy didn't notice and only smiled wider. "Go with the rest." Her voice was so commanding Gildroy backed up a couple steps, and flew off. Or tried to, because he fell off his broom.
"James," Lily said, turning with frustation away from Gildroy. James didn't reply. "You can't just keep ignoring me! If nothing else, we're on the team together."
"There's nothing to say," James said, still not looking at her. All of a sudden his mood changed, and he became someone else entirely. "Guess we got to go torture the trainees." He smiled, not at her, but a malicious smile. James flew off, leaviing Lily stunned behind him.
"Right then!" Sirius had adopted an Australian accent, and was now pacing infront of the the three beaters and single Seeker. "You're here to do one thing, and one thing only." He glared at them in mock ferociousness. "Totally destroy the other team!" He smiled, and gestured to Will Chang. "This is your menacing opponent." There were several sniggers. Will blushed, and Sirius thrust his face at one of the perpitrators. "Think that's funny, do you? I'd like to see you score a hit on that un!"
James and Lily were not having as much fun, though James was now speaking to Lily. Ableit superficially.
"Jesse's not bad," Lily said, pointing out a lanky third year who, despite a bit of quaffle fumbling, was relatively good.
"Naw," James said, scruntizing the player. "He's off balance...look at him...-
"Well there aren't exactly loads of options here!" Lily scowled, annoyed that James's mood had changed so quickly. Though she'd never admit it, she was just as proud as him, and would have prefferred that he had taken awhile to get over her.
"Well...fine...Jesse Anters, or whatever his name was." Lily was missing a tiny, key point in James over cocky attitude. Mainly, that he was over cocky.
"Jesse Antehyst," Lily corrected, frowning. "James, just...ugh! You're so frustrating!"
"What, is that all?" James asked, slipping back in bitterness. "Nothing else wrong with me?"
"You know, just because you aren't used to having people say no to you..." Lily whirled around to face him, looking up at him through blazing green eyes.
"YOU KNOW," James mimicked, staring her eye for eye. "You're just afraid you might actually care."
Lily couldn't help herself. "What hint did I EVER give you to make you think I liked you? When? If you're ego weren't overflowing out of you're robes you never would have gotton the dumb idea into you're inflated head!" Lily stopped,panting. She'd said it all in one breath. "I...I'm...I didn't mean...-" but it was too little, too late. James had already kamikazied over too Wood.
"I quit."
Lily's resignation, which was only moments later, was slightly more polite. "Wood...I'm sorry."
Wood stared at the two receeding figures, which, defying the laws of line of sight, did NOT move closer as they drew closer to the horizen. Sirius shook his head sadly, almost serious.
"Those two," he said, leaning over to Will, "Are NEVER going to get it together." He watched them with a lopsided grin.
Yeah, I'm sorry,i was going to have them make up and be friends, but i guess that'll come next time...anyhow,r/r
