Chapter three

~Lily Evans-day one~

"So you asked him and he said yes?" Elle asked me.

We were in the school kitchen gathering things for my big disaster date.

"Yeah, you thing pumpkin juice would make a bigger stain than grape?"

"Pick grape." She said handing me a bottle of ketchup. "Tell me again why your getting all these food?"



"Its simple. Being stuck with James for ten days is just way to much pain. So I asked him out just as I promised. Were going to have a romantic dinner together for our first date and belive me, by end of tonight James will never want to be near me again."

Elle began to laugh as we left the kitchen.

"I have to be there to watch this." She said.

"Bring Angela and Ginger with you." I stared at my watch. "Shoot! Its quarter to five. Do me a favour and tell James to meet me outside by the oak tree okay?"

I dashed outside and began to set up. I carefully laid the picnic blanket on the floor and set up the plates for two with tonights special, Spaggetti.

Without time to spare the picnic was all set.

"Perfect."

The sun had begun to set so taht the sky was orange. There wasn't any wind blowing, wich was to bad because I could have used it for my disaster date tonight.

"Lily." I felt a tap on my shoulder.

"Hi James." I gave him a big warm smile. "I set up a picnic, hope you like it."

He gave me a puzzled look he's been giving me the whole day yesterday. "Yeah."

We sat down across each other.

I began to play with my food when I noticed that James was staring at me.

"What?"

"Is this some kind of trick?"

"No. Why would you think it was a trick?" I fought with myself to keep a straight face.

"Because ... "

"Are you calling me fat?"

"No! When did I say that?!?"

"I knew it! You think I'm fat!" I Pretended to cry when I was acctually laughing.

I felt a pair of arms hug me.

"I don't think your fat, I acctually think your really skinny."

"You think?" I lifted my hands off my face.

"Yeah."

Doesn't he know to never call a girl fat or skinny?

"You think I'm anorexic?"

"I didn't meant that!"

"Then what do you mean?"

"Er - "

"Well?"

"You look really nice the way you are."

Hey that was kind of sweet. Maybe I should turn off the crazy girlfriend act off. For now that is.

"Okay." I lightened up.

I sat down again and so did James.

"So, whens your next quidditch game?"

"Three weeks from now."

"Oh, i'll remember that."

"But you hate quidditch."

"But I don't hate you."

James face turned pale.

"What?!?" He said.

"Dunno. What do you think?"

He shrugged as I 'accidentally' spilled my grape juice.

"Omigosh, I'm so sorry." Yeah right.

"Thats okay."

I Bend over to clean it up the spilled juice when I 'accidentally' spilled his too.

"I'm soo clumsy. Its really hard to not laugh by now.

Ont he process of trying to clean up the spill I set of the ketchup and sprayed it all over his shirt. The spaggetti somehow flew accross the field and the desert got squashed.

It was all too much. I had to do someting to let my laugher out. Maybe if I pretended to cry i'll be able to laugh.

"Don't -er cry." James tried to say sympatheticaly.

"I'm sorry James. I really like you and - " More laughter cleaverly dissguised as a sob. "I just wanted this to work out." Laugh "I better go ... "

My sides were hurting so badly I had to run somewhere where I could calm down.
