Chapter 2 (The chapter which has no title)
Okay, the usual disclaimer, I don't own anything so far, and thanks to whoever who reviewed. (
Anyway, enough we me babbling, on with the show!
Lily stood in front of her mirror in the dormitory. She looked at herself, well more like admired herself. She had combed her hair and curled it slightly, so her lovely auburn hair fell down her shoulders and she applied minimal make up, as she insisted it made her look like some clown wannabe.
"Do I look to sluttish?" She asked Kim, who was sprawled on the bed, trying to figure out which plant produced the cure to a certain flu.
Lily was clad in a black spaghetti strap top and red slacks. No worry, the slacks were not a glaring red, so she did not look as if her legs were on fire. The spaghetti strap top did plunge rather low, and Kim gazed disapprovingly at the low plunge.
"Perhaps you should cover up your chest a bit more. It looks as if you're flaunting or something, which you aren't, are you now.." Kim suggested, but wiggled her eyebrows at the last suggestive statement, earning a smack from Lily.
"Shut up!" Lily groaned, and searched for a sweater. Truth was, Lily was pretty much a play girl, and that was why James's comment about her going onto a new guy was so disturbing. It wasn't as if she dumped boys intentionally, it was just that they got on her nerves after a while for some strange reason.
"I look better now, I hope." Lily muttered, as she modeled her sweater, which was black, with red lining. "I don't look like a ring master or anything do I?" She fretted, as she rushed once more to the mirror.
"Stop being so BIMBOISH!" Kim almost screeched, as Lily patted her hair down again, "You look FINE! You'll bowl Joshua over. Then you'll kiss him, and then dump him after a few days.like you always do." Kim mumbled the last part to herself. It wasn't that she disliked Lily for her ways, but sometimes it did annoy her.
"I'm really sorry, but I can't HELP it." Lily apologized, as she glanced at her watch. "OH SHIT, I'm late," She started but was interrupted by Kim, who said, "Since when weren't you ever late?" Lily just threw a pillow at Kim as she grabbed her handbag and jogged down the stairs.
"JOSHUA?" She called, as she gazed around the common room for a sign of the fair-haired boy.
"PRINCESS LILY!" A familiar voice floated to Lily's ears, and she turned around and groaned, "SIRIUS! Where is Joshua?! Did you do something to him?" She remember the time Sirius and James had turned one of her dates into a crow, and after laughing at it hilariously, she had ignored Sirius and James for a grand total of one hour.
"'Fraid not," Joshua commented, as he glided up to her, and put an arm around Lily's waist. Lily coughed politely, and removed Joshua's arms, thinking :This is going to be a hell of a long date.
Lily and Joshua left the room, Joshua trying shamelessly to flirt with Lily, and Lily desperately trying to inch away from him. Quite a humorous sight, although nobody dared comment. Lily was renowned for her fiery temper.
James galloped down the steps, and saw Joshua and Lily leave, and something tugged in his stomach. He felt kind of sick, but fought it down. He was just sick that Lily was playing with someone else again, yes that had to be it.
"Sirius! My man! I have a bet for you." James shouted, as he sauntered up to Sirius, with a conniving look on his handsome face.
"Bring it on, and by the way, I don't lean that way James, I'm not your man, so sad to break your heart." Sirius commented casually, as he strode up to James and they both sat down on a couch.
"Your mind has officially obtained a gutter citizenship," James shook his head and said, before bringing up his proposal (haha), "What say you that we have a competition to see who can pull off the most pranks in this coming week. I'll bet with you 10 galleons that I will win."
"10 galleons? You don't have much faith in yourself do you."
"50 galleons then, I have full confidence in my own ability.."
"You're on! Get ready to lose to the master, James. Throw in that the loser has to kiss Severus Snape on the lips."
"The winner has to probably go to Azkaban for inflicting psychological trauma onto the loser."
"True, but do I have a deal?"
"You betcha!" James pronounced, as he shook Sirius's hand. "Get ready to lose Sirius."
"Kiss my ass James," Sirius said cockily, as he gave James's hand a hearty shake.
"Gay." James said, with a perfect raise of his eyebrow, as he quickly retracted his hand from Sirius.
MEANWHILE.
"Lily, did I ever tell you that you have the loveliest eyes." Joshua cooed, most sickeningly, and Lily had the sudden urge to hurl.
They were by the lake, and gazing at the stars, both thinking different things. Joshua was thinking about how lovely the night was, and how beautiful Lily was, while Lily was thinking about how to ditch the idiot.
"I think so, maybe you mentioned it a few hundred times," Lily said with a bite of impatience in her voice.
"That's just how much you mean to me." Joshua sighed, and tried to inch closer to Lily. They were supposedly having a "romantic" picnic by the lake, but Lily had somehow lost her appetite.
"My eyes mean that much to you? Touching.."Lily feigned joy, but felt like retching. She was wondering what Kim was doing, probably having a good time doing Herbology homework, lucky pig.
"Well, of course Lily, you're a special girl, and you need a special someone.I was wondering whether you want to be my girlfriend?" Joshua asked, without the hint of worry in his voice. This annoyed Lily to no end, as she felt that Joshua didn't really value her.
"Do you want a pickle?" She asked Joshua, not even trying to feign sweetness.
"No, you know I'm allergic to them sweet pea." Joshua almost whined, and it took Lily all the self-control she possessed not to hit him with her 3 inch heels.
"Well that's my response. I'm allergic to dumbness, and you seem to have abundance of that, goodbye." She snapped, and walked off.
"This time you decided to dump a guy before even giving him a chance isn't it? Well what they say about you is true then, you're a loose play girl. LOOSE!" Joshua yelled, and Lily merely gave him the middle finger before continuing her march back to the tower.
"Dwiddle Dwaddle!" She almost screeched at the Fat Lady, and the Fat Lady opened rather huffily, talking in low tones to herself about young people these days.
"Back so early Lily?" Remus asked, innocently. He was having a game of exploding snap with Sirius, James and Peter.
"Don't even ask Lupin," Lily growled, and stomped upstairs, leaving behind a dumbfounded four.
"Must be that time of the month," snickered James, as he dealt out the cards.
Lily was in a foul mood as she swung open the door the dormitory. Becky and Kim were lying prone on Kim's bed, doing Ancient Runes.
"I just had the date from hell," Lily groaned, as she flopped down onto her own bed. She had her handbag with her, and she carelessly threw the bag to a side, before closing her eyes, as the scenes from the date replayed in her head.
"Do I dare ask?" Becky tried, but when Lily just remained silent, she decided to shut up.
"Joshua asked me to be his girl. HIS girl, doesn't he know that I don't belong to ANYONE? And I never will. I HATE guys who assume stuff, just ASSUME that on the first date I will be begging him to be my boy friend. And the way he said it, it was so ERGH!" Lily ranted, as she sat up and began thumping her pillow viciously on the bed.
"Chill, girl. The pillow hasn't done anything wrong," Kim comforted, as she put down her books. "That's not just it is it?" Kim continued, "I know that if Joshua just assumed it, you would have come in, roared at all of us for no reason, then go downstairs and blame everything on James before beating him to pulp. You don't come in, flop on the bed like some useless rag and groan to us."
"Joshua called me LOOSE! A PLAYGIRL!" Lily almost yelled the last part, as she began to wring her poor pillow. "I want to use Hagrid's grass cutter machine to saw off that jerk's head, THEN! I want to spray botbuter pus all over that piece of..piece of.MALFOY! HE'S AS LOW AS A MALFOY!" Lily openly screamed the last part.
"Calm down girl, you'll burst a blood vessel," Becky said in a soothing voice.
"I want to burst that JOSHUA'S head!" Snarled Lily, "I want to stab him with that knife we use in potions.."
"Er.okay. But Lily, don't you think you're overreacting a little bit? Just a tad?" Becky reasoned, leaning forwards towards Lily who was now standing on the bed, arms folded, and you could almost see smoke coming out of her ears.
"NO!" Lily huffed and fell back onto the bed, "I'm going to bed!" With that, Lily disappeared below the sheets, leaving Kim and Becky struggling hard not to burst out into giggles.
