Chapter 62-That night.
Amber wasn't planning on getting over Daniel leaving anytime soon. She kept thinking that she would never see him again.even though they promised they would meet after graduation.
Tara wasn't being herself. She was beginning to get all giggly about that night with James. He apparently had something really big and she really, really wanted to know what that big thing was.
"Tara, shut up." Said Amber while Tara was in the middle of a new giggle fit.
"I.can't." she said between breaths.
"What do you think he has planned?" asked Amber.
"I.don't.know." Said Tara still laughing.
"Shut up will you please?!"
"I told you! I.can't."
"If you don't shut up I'll throw my pillow at you!." Said Amber, pointing to her pillow on her bed.
"But, I can't stop!"
Amber threw her pillow at Tara's head.
"Ow, what did you put in that? A rock or two?" said Tara rubbing her forehead.
"Do you SEE any rocks here that could go into the pillow? Did you SEE me PUT and rocks in there?" asked Amber.
".Shut up." Said Tara.
"Thanks, I needed cheering up. I'm going downstairs, coming with or are you going to giggle some more?"
"I'm going to stay here and not giggle anymore."
"Alright.you do that." Amber left.
"Tee hee hee hee hee hee." Giggled Tara.
"I heard that!" said Amber from outside the dorm.
"Suuuuure ya did." Tara called back.
A few hours later Tara was still in her dorm just starting to get ready. She was trying to figure out what shorts she should wear and what shirt.
"Black shorts with a black top or black shorts with white top," she muttered.
"Black shorts with that red and black shirt." Said Amber who was reading a magazine on her bed.
"Oh shut up."
Tara went to get changed and was done 5 minutes later.
"I really don't see why you say you need a hour when you only ever take 5 minutes." Said Amber shaking her head.
"Cause.I just feel like it.and the extra time lets me get less nervous and calm down." Said Tara hoping one foot to another. "AND ITS NOT WORKING! I've never felt like this, you'd think I'd be fine but I don't-"
"Shut up a second!" interrupted Amber.
"-know what James has planned! I don't know how big it was, I heard it was something big but I don't know."
"Shut up a second!" repeated Amber.
"Yes Ms Amber."
Amber rolled her eyes. "Now. Stop being nervous. You love him right?" Tara nodded. "Your used to him always being around." Tara nodded. "What's different?"
"Its only different cause this morning he told me he loved me and I don't know if he was joking or not and now he has this big thing planned and I just don't know what it is! THIS IS WHY I'M LIKE THIS! IT SUCKS!"
"DUDE! Calm yourself! You're going overboard, seriously."
"What do you know, Daniel never did anything like this for you did he?" asked Tara.oops.
Amber went wide-eyed. "How dare you mention him right after he leaves. You know how much he means to me. You know how much it hurts me to see him go like that."
Tara was speechless. How could she have been so stupid to mention Daniel? "I.uh.I'm sorry," she managed to say. "I forgot."
"You forgot? Oh yeah, you've been to busy with James to realize that one of your friends is gone and never coming back. You don't care about anything but yourself! You really DO belong in Slytherin and I wish that you were put there!" and with that Amber ran out of the dorm slamming the door behind her.
"Well." said Tara to her self about to get changed when the door blew open. "JAMES! I'm getting CHANGED! Knock next time!"
"Uh.sorry.what's with Amber?" he asked turning red. Tara had pulled the curtains shut around her bed.
"Uh.I forgot and I mentioned Daniel." Said Tara.
"You forgot? It was just this morning though." Said James. Tara couldn't see him but he was still standing at the open door.
"Yea well you know my memory."
"That's not a good excuse though."
"You know what I just noticed.I'm changing back into the clothes I just got out of.look what your little plan thing is doing to me, its making me bonkers!"
"And making you forget things." Muttered James.
"James! Can we just forget about it for now?"
"Fine but you have to apologize when we get back."
"Fine.how long till I have to meet you in the prefects bathroom."
"Who cares, you said your about ready.lets just go now, I'm ready." Said James.
Tara opened the curtain and got off her bed. She took James' arm and they were on their way down to the prefect's washroom.
"Ouvert" said James when they arrived at the bathroom entrance. The door swung open and they went inside.
James had put up 100 floating candles, set up a table and had (childish yes but oh so yummy) platter of tacos. (yummm)
"Nice." said Tara looking around with wide eyes.
"Why thank you. And." started James running over to a table in a corner. He put on music. "That's better."
-- "Wow.James.this is.a lot." sighed Tara.
"Yes I know but I loooooooooove you." Said James childishly again. Tara snickered. (mm snickers *drool*)
"Does the other prefects know not to use this washroom tonight?" asked Tara.
"Oh, no, they will be coming in and out interrupting our night all night." Said James sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
"That's why I love you.you and your sarcasm.its always amusing and you always cheer me up." Said Tara.
"Shall we dance?" asked James holding out his hand like in the 1800s asking a girl to dance.
"Yes, we shall."
James and Tara made there way into a small square between benches and started dancing.
[I] Communication is a lot like the wind when I speak
It's like no one understands and I'm left with empty hands
Forever I can't speak
So many things I'll never learn
You can't cross bridges that you've burned[/I]
"Yay! Good song!" said Tara sorta hopping without leaving the ground.boucing.
"I knew you would like it." Said James smiling, looking at Tara.
Tara rested her head on James shoulder.
"Jae.when this song is over.I think those tacos might be better off in my stomach then on the table." Said Tara grinning into his shoulder.
"I take it your hungry?" he asked.
"Very.very hungry."
[I] Take out the light, take out the light
Take out the light start screamin.'[/I]
Tara and James made their way to the table for two. In the middle was a candle and beside, were the tacos. (dun dun dun)
Tara was about to take a bite from a taco when she asked James cautiously, "Who made these?"
James laughed and replied, "The house elves did, don't worry. But I'm sad now, you don't trust my cooking."
"James, have you TASTED your cooking? It tastes like rubber and wood."
"What did I make that tasted like rubber and wood?" asked James curiously.
"You TRIED to make chocolate chip cookies. In the summer that is."
"Remind me never to make chocolate chip cookies again."
"Alright."
After they had finished their tacos they went back to dancing.
[I] I am lost in the see-thru, I think you lost yourself too
Throughout all of this confusion I hope I somehow get to you
I practiced all the things I'd say to tell you how I feel
And when I finally get my chance, It all seems so surreal
'Cause from the first time I saw you, I only thought about you
I didn't know you, I wanted to hold onto the things you'd never say to me
'Cause you said
You can't change the way you feel
I could never do that, I could never do that
But you can't tell me this ain't real,
'Cause this is real
And you would see right through that
In the end it's all I've got
So I'm gonna hold onto that
So I'm gonna hold on and on and on and on. [/I]
They didn't know how long they were dancing for. Really, they didn't care how long they were dancing for. The only thing they new was that they didn't want to go anywhere at that moment. Just stay the way they were forever.
James stopped dancing for a second at the end of a song and looked at Tara straight in the eyes.
"I'm happy we had tonight just to us...again" Whispered James into Tara's ear and leaned in and kissed her.
