Chapter 3: Betrayal & A Surprise
Disclaimer: If you can't remember go back to chapter 1. If you can remember then you know we're not J.K. Rowling. (Big disappointment!!!!!!!!!!)
A/n: oh my god!!!!!!!!!! I feel so much joy!!!!!!!!! I asked to get to 19 reviews and we got to 31. WOW!!!! As you can tell I am super happy (this is Sarah- I usually do the typing). I'm really sorry we couldn't update sooner but school started and it is a lot of work. Katie and I both have an evil math teacher. Katie has both volleyball and cheerleading. I have band which I'm quitting as soon as I can. Plus our Spanish teacher is giving us tons of work this year. Today I missed class (because of band) and she said that I could come in at lunch and she would help me make it up. Well, guess what? She stood me up!!!!!! What a bitch!!!!! And there's a quiz tomorrow and I have no idea what to study. Well, I know none of you care about my problems, so lets get on with Lily and James. Maybe you'll care about their problems.
Thanks again for the reviews! Oh yeah, Chelz-Aelle, the question isn't if we have read the books (which we have) but if u have read the story!!
As Lily sat there straining her ears for signs of what the heck was going on, she racked her brain for what had happened at breakfast a few days ago.
****FLASHBACK****
"Oh god, you don't fancy him do you?"
"No!"
"Well, I heard one of those bimbos over there say his name was James. People say he comes from a rich family that is very mysterious."
"Is that Stephanie?!" Lindsay and Lily watched as one of their cabin mates, who hadn't arrived in the hall yet, walked over and joined the group of people admiring this James character.
"I didn't like her much anyway," said Lindsay, "Well back to this James guy. This is his first year. I haven't met him yet, have you?"
****END OF FLASHBACK****
Lindsay had acted like James was a disgusting pig so why was she making out with him at this very moment?
Lily leaned across her mattress to see what was happening around the corner. She still couldn't see anything so she wrapped her sheets around her fists and leaned out of her bed a good few feet. She felt the sheets give way and follow behind her as she tumbled to the cabin floor with a "THUMP".
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
James broke off his kiss with Lindsay when he heard a THUMP around the corner. He pushed her away from him and hopped around in a rush of fury. There she was, lying helplessly on the wooden ground. There was the girl from the pool, Lily if he remembered correctly. Her long fiery locks landing in a mess around her flushed face.
Lindsay came over to stand beside him. "Oh, shit," she murmured.
"What the hell are you doing here?" James asked, his voice shaking with fury. He was too mad to be embarrassed.
"Uhhhh….."
"What are you? Some sick pervert? Watching us kissing?" James practically yelled.
"Well, this is my cabin." Lily was no longer shocked, but now furious. My best friend was making out with my worst enemy. In my cabin!
"And you!" Lily yelled at Lindsay, "You acted like you didn't even know him!"
Before Lindsay, or anyone else, could say anything, the door to the cabin was thrown open with a SLAM.
"What is all this yelling going on in here?" Melanie questioned as she and Stephanie walked into the mess of friends and enemies.
"Ohhhh, Jamsie!" Stephanie screeched as she ran toward James. "What are you doing here?"
"Good question," said Mel as she stared curiously at her two friends.
"Well, it looks like Lindsay over here has been snogging him behind our backs!" Lily exclaimed.
"And you were watching us!" yelled Lindsay indignantly, who had finally got up the nerve to speak.
And so it went, with James and Lindsay yelling back and forth with Lily.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
After quite some time of the yelling, Mel and Stephanie standing to the side with looks of horror on their faces, Lily stormed out of the cabin. Two best friends yesterday, and now every piece of friendship was shattered.
Amongst protests from Lindsay, who was calling Lily "jealous", James ran out of the cabin, to talk more calmly to Lily, as he claimed.
Lindsay went over and sat on her bed in a huff. Melanie and Stephanie went over to discuss what has just occurred.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"LILY, WAIT!" Lily heard from behind her. She could only guess who it was. She started running. She wouldn't talk to him again. She couldn't. It was just too much. My best friend snogging *him*. She just could not take it anymore. Her anger was quickly turning to sadness. How could I be so wrong about Lindsay? She's just like all those ditzy girls following James that we used to laugh about. Lily felt the tears she had been holding in brim her eyelids and gently slip out. The harder she ran the faster they came. She didn't know if James was following her any longer, all she knew was it felt good to be running away from her problems. And it felt good to cry. She felt that with every tear she shed she was saying good-bye to that person she had once considered a friend.
Lily started getting tired and slowed to a jog. As her sobs and breathing became softer she heard feet pounding the ground behind her. She realized that she had not successfully thrown of James. She started to pick up her pace again but in the little time she had jogged James had almost caught up with her.
She felt his hand on her shoulder. Oh, damn, here we go again. Lily really didn't want James to see her with her tear stained cheeks.
"Lily, please talk to me," James pleaded with a gasping breath. He had run almost a mile chasing this girl.
Before James could say another word Lily stopped and threw her fist around to connect with his right cheek. Which it did. Very forcefully. (A/n my English teacher would be so mad because of al these fragments.) James cheek flared with pain, and the combination of chasing Lily and then having her punch him with so much strength made the world grow dim. The last thought in his head, was that that punch was filled with anger. Raw fury. And then all he saw was black.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As Lily walked back towards the cabin she thought about the boy she had left lying in the grass. I hope he wakes up soon. Even though he is an asshole, I would feel sort of bad if something happened to him. Oh, god I wish I had my wand so I could curse that poor excuse for a human to hell and back. Should I go back to the cabin? What if Lindsay is still there? But I need to talk to Melanie. I'll take the chance of Lindsay being there.
As Lily approached the cabin she was happy not to hear yelling coming out of the wooden walls. She walked in and Mel immediately came over to her. Without saying a word Melanie wrapped her arms around Lily. Lily knew that a friend like Mel would always be there. But that's what I thought about Lindsay. When Melanie finally let go there were tears running down her cheeks. "Oh Lily, I'm so sorry." By this time tears were also gathering up in Lily's eyes.
"It's not your fault, Mel."
"Let's just ignore her. Maybe she'll disappear."
"She may, but the situation won't."
The rest of the week passed by very slowly. Lily and Melanie were joined at the hip and everyone pretty much avoided Lindsay, once they heard about what she did to her friend. The only good thing about it was that everyone now knew who Lily was. Also James and Lindsay were never seen within 20 feet of one another.
Soon the second week of camp started and Lily was feeling fine once again. Once James sensed this he knew he had to do something to annoy her again. He was still pissed at her about her punching him. He was constantly wondering why he had chased after her in the first place. Why?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
So on the Tuesday of the second week of camp the pranks were restarted. At breakfast James poured salt into Lily's drink when she was in the bathroom. As James strutted back to his table after he had gotten a good look at Lily's disgusted face, he thought to himself, this whole thing would be easier if I could use my wand. After lunch, Lily had somehow gotten into James's cabin and dumped red her dye into his shampoo bottle. At dinner everyone had a good laugh at James, who had taken a shower after he had gone swimming. Lily knew that without magic that hair dye would stay in for a good week, but somehow on Wednesday morning James came into the dinning hall with his usual head of messy, raven black hair. Lily was surprised that James hadn't pranked her for the whole day, when she slid into bed that night and found a gigantic spider crawling up her leg.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh," she screamed as she leapt out of bed, waking the other members of her cabin. "I'll get that bastard."
Lily could be heard saying that often as a week went by, the pranks progressed, and soon it was two days before the last day of camp.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
On Wednesday, Lily and James hardly saw each other, but every time they did happen to, they exchanged furious glares. The day before they had been reprimanded by the camp director, saying that "this has gone way too far" and "the next time this happens both of you will be sent home. I don't care how close we are to the last day."
Thursday came and everyone was packing up and getting ready to get picked up the next day to go home. In Lily's cabin there were hugs, tears, and phone numbers being exchanged. James said good-bye to the boys who he had just spent 3 weeks with. Handshakes went around and an occasional hug (but no tears were shed). Because of how busy the day turned out to be, Lily and James only caught a glance of each other at meal times. It was enough to let Lily know that she would always remember James. It scared her, but she thought that she would actually miss the pranks. If she just knew that she would be separated from him for less time than she thought.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
On Friday morning James woke up earlier than anyone else in his cabin. He looked at the clock sitting next to his bed, one of the only things he hadn't packed yet, and realized why. It was only 6:15 in the morning. The campers were allowed to sleep until 7:30. He tried to go back to sleep but after 15 minutes gave up. He climbed out of his bed, pulled on a pair of pants, no shirt (A/n haha), for it was still warm outside, even in the morning, and walked out of the cabin.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily woke up with a start and remembered that it was the last day of camp and she would most likely never see any of these people ever again. She looked around and realized that everyone else was still asleep. She quietly got up and slipped on a pair of jean shorts and a tank top. She walked out of the cabin to see the bright light of morning making the landscape look magical.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
James didn't know where to go so he headed off to the right on a trail that would take him towards the girl's village. He knew he was nearing the place where he got knocked out by Lily. He laughed out loud at the thought.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As Lily walked she let her mind wander. When she finally snapped out of her thoughts she realized she was on a trail heading to the boy's side of camp. She passed a spot where she remembered punching James. Again she was reminded of how much she would miss him. She just hoped that she had the chance to see him one last time before her parents picked her up.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As James neared the middle of the trail he heard something coming towards him. He looked to his sides and behind him but nothing was there. The movement was from in front of him. Who would be up at this hour?
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
All of a sudden Lily caught a movement in front of her. She walked forward and saw that the movement was James, without a shirt. A thousand thoughts flew past her brain but she couldn't grab a hold of even one of them. When her mind finally slowed her first thought was, Well, here he is, aren't you going to say anything? She almost was past him when his hand shot out and grabbed her across the waist.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Without thinking James reached his hand out and caught Lily's waist. What the hell am I doing? James spun her around so that she was facing him. He looked her straight in the eye and saw a mix a feelings there. Fear, curiosity, surprise, and most of all, excitement. James took these feeling as a "yes" and moved his face towards hers. Lily inched her face nearer to his, and suddenly their lips were locked together.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Lily couldn't think. All she could do was feel. Passion surged threw her and exited between her lips and into James. The kiss grew deeper and deeper. Lily ran her hands threw his hair as he wrapped his arms around her waist to draw her closer, so that every inch of her body was pressed up against his. Unfortunately, both of them needed to take a breath and they pulled away from each other. Once Lily's ears stopped pounding and she could begin to think straight, she realized what she had just done. Before James could capture her lips again she turned around and ran. And left a stunned, flushed James standing there without a clue.
