1.1.1 Chapter 11-The Talk

The ball went on till way past midnight. Tara was having the time of her life, even if it was with James, but she didn't complain, she was in love.

Tara and James made their way up to the common room after everyone cleared the Great Hall.

"I had a great time tonight." said Tara smiling.

"Me too." said James.

The got to the common room and sat near the fire for a bit, to calm down from the fun filled evening. They got up at the same time.

"Good night." said James

"Good night."

Without warning James hugged her, smiled, and ran up to his dorm while Tara stood in shock.

'Whoa.' was the first this she thought.

Tara was in bed and reading her book (The Shining still). She wasn't really reading it though. It was infront of her so the other girls thought she was busy reading. Amber was a friend that Tara could tell anything, she hadn't told her this yet. She was too nervous. This was the first guy for Tara to like...that way. Yes she had some guy friends when she was younger, but they were all older or moved and never kept in touch. Tara rolled over and put her book on her bedside table and turned off the light. She couldn't get to sleep, this concept was bugging her too much, she couldn't stand it. She decided to get up and sit in front of the fire some more.

Tara got to the common room and met James in front of the fire.

"Fancy meeting you here." she said sitting down nervously. She thought coming down to common room was going to get him out of her head.

"Same to you, what's up?"

"The sky."

"Really."

"Last time I checked."

"No really, why'd you come down?"

"No reason..." she lied.

"You must of had a-"

"Okay, okay, I wasn't tired, I was thinking about someth-one."

James raised his eyebrows. "Ohh, who?" he asked curiously (sp?)

"Oh, nevermind. I want to know why you asked me if 11 was too young to have a boy or girlfriend."

'of course its too young but I can't help it if I feel more mature!' Tara thought.

"No." said James

"Ok...HAHA, you have a crush. Teehee."

"NO, I don't." James lied, it showed too.

"Yes you do, I can tell."

"Deal, I'll tell you if you tell me."

"Okay..." said Tara

"You go first."

"No, you."

"Both at the same time?"

"Alright."

"You." They said in usion
