Chapter 13 - What's with Kayla?

The next morning, was an odd one indeed. You could find Sirius daydreaming, barely touching his food, Aria was sleeping on her plate while Remus rubbed her back, Kayla was scowling and threatening to hex anybody who asked her anything, and James and Lily were in their own little world. A world that involved whispered love words, loving glances, and hidden touches.

All in all, every one seemed out of sorts.

"What time does our class start?" Kayla snapped. "Uh . . . at 8:30, why?" Lily answered. "Because," Kayla replied testily. "It is now 8:25." Lily's eyes widened, and she kicked Aria to wake her up.

Aria woke up with a start, and shot up looking around wildly, then her stare landed on Kayla and Lily picking up their books and got the idea.

"Bye." Two girls shouted, as they started towards the doors that lead outside while the boys headed the other way.

"Kayla," Lily snapped as they began their way back to the castle. "What the hell is your problem today?" Kayla glared at her friend and didn't answer. "Kay," Lily said again, sounding very aggravated. "We all know that you have your days, but this isn't one of those days. You've never acted like this before, not that I know of, and I've known you ALL of my life! Now tell goddamn it! What the hell is up with you?" Lily demanded.

Kayla stopped and looked at Lily, and could clearly see the roaring fire that lay behind the emerald shards that happened to be her eyes and cringed. If Lily was this exasperated, no one was going to have a good day. Kayla sighed and braced herself. 'They deserve to know.' She told herself as she said out loud, "You mind skipping History?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Where the hell where they?" Remus fumed out loud.

The boys had just had the most tedious History of Magic lesson in their entire lives, and on top of that, the girls were missing!

The three boys walked out of the History class with attitudes. "I don't know Moony, but they are going to be in so very much trouble once we actually find them!" James growled.

James and Remus began switching ideas about what they could do to the girls once they actually find them, only to stop and look at Sirius oddly.

"Hey, Padfoot." James said.

Sirius looked over at James. "What?"

"Are you okay?" Remus asked.

"Yea, man, you look like you're . . . dreaming." Peter said, getting into the conversation.

Sirius shrugged his shoulders and continued on his way to the Great Hall for Lunch.

The three remaining boys looked at each other then ran to catch up with their insane friend.

"You know," James whispered to Remus as they reached the Great Hall. "If he doesn't stop daydreaming that we could get some interesting stuff out of him."

Remus looked at James with an amused stare and grinned a mile wide. "It's about time we find something to tease him about." He said. James grinned back at him and searched the Great Hall for any sign of the girls. His brows furrowed in confusion. 'Where could they be?' he wondered.

"Where the hell are those three!" Remus shouted, which caused him to get disapproving glances from the teachers' table, and him blush in embarrassment.

"Oops." He muttered as they walked over to the Gryffindor table.

James sat down at his normal seat, and watched the doors, forgetting about the food that lay in front of him, only interested in finding his girlfriend.

'I wonder where she is,' he thought as he looked through the hall again, just in case. 'Not here.' James looked at Remus, and saw him eating.

"Moony," James said as he got up. "I'm going to go to the lake to see if the girls are there, okay?" Moony nodded in response, seeing as he was chewing at the moment.

James headed outside with only one objective on his mind. To find Lily and the girls.

A/N: Sorry that this turned out so short, but I didn't know what to write really. I needed a chapter that would allow me to pass some time in this story.

Please review.
