Hi, this fic (as you should know if you read the prologue) is about Lily and James. The title of the fic. Is the title of one of my favorite blues songs, therefore, I'm trying to make it to where every chapter I have an excerpt from a blues song that kind-a goes with the whole plot of that chap. The chapter titles are also the song titles (who woulda guessed? *ha.ha.*). The story is basically James recalling his life, and how much he grew and matured since Lily entered it. I hope you like it, and I'm very thankful to the people who reviewed my prologue! You might notice chapter 1 has a lot of "lets get to know what the hell is happening" also known as intro's. Well, that's because it's chapter 1, and if I didn't do the intro crap u'd be lost. *duh* So stick with me, read it, and I'm hoping that u'll like it. So. read on!

...:.:.:.:.:.Try to quit you Baby.:.:.:.:.:.

Chapter 1--Man Smart, Woman Smarter

***** Let us put man and woman together

See which one is smarter

Some say men,

but I say no Women got the men like a puppet show***

I love the morning, It's so beautiful. I usually get up at 5 or 6
(before everyone else). I don't wake up at an extreme hour just to see
the friggin sunrise. I hate people who pull the sunrise crap! It's the
feeling of the morning. It's the knowledge that everything is awaking,
and that you are there to see it, to feel it. The feeling that for a
few minutes everything is asleep. The partiers have come to bed and
the slumberous have not yet woken. No matter what happens, I'll never
forget the feeling of morning. But you probably don't care, you're
waiting for the story of my life. You're waiting to see the plot
unfold, to see the reason for why the hell you're even still reading
this.. Well here it is.

After being out on the window for about 10 minutes, I spotted a figure
in the trees. Looking closer I saw a bright shade of red hair. 'Must
be Weasley.' I thought as I recalled how nosey our new head boy
'Author Weasley' could be. Yet looking more closely, I saw that there
was no way this could be Author Weasley. Not unless he had grown his
hair down, and took to wearing Hogwarts girls uniform. 'Only a lunatic
would be out so close to the forest at 5:30am' Before I could yell to
whoever it was I felt a pair of arms slip around my waist, with a
whisper of "Good time last night hunh?" Taking this things arms I
slung her off me and across the room.

"What the bloody hell are you doing?"

"Get out." I said starting to get annoyed. Didn't they get it? It was
for the night. Not the night and day, not the night and a few hours,
the night. I didn't even pull the 'I love you' crap that Sirius did.
(I also didn't do as many as he did.) Yet they still didn't get the
point.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"mean," I said taking her clothes and arm in hand. I opened the door
and finished my sentence. "Get out and go to your dorm." She kind of
stood there in shock as if she didn't know I was going to use her.
Pushing her out I said "Goodbye Mary Ann." Slamming the door, I heard
a sleepy voice of Sirius saying

"They still don't seem to get the point do they?" The stupid asshole.
He burst out into hysterics and rolled right out of his own bed.
Narrowing my eyes and getting ready to shoot a nasty comment at him I
decided he actually was right, and it would not effect him, really at
all if I told him off. So I smiled and shut up, being thankful that
someone was even there to laugh for me, even if it was at me. *insert
lazy smirk here*

I met Brent Ramos and Preston Serpas down for breakfast that
morning.

"The ugly git. We should curse him and the rest of that
bullshit team next match!" mumbled Brent as he gave a sideways look at
Lucius Malfoy. Preston agreed, but I just kept eating with the 'I'm
board and I really don't care' expression that I wore so much. Sitting
a few seats away, Remus Lupin gave a small smirk at me and went back
to his food. Remus and I had a strange friendship. Last year we got
together (with Sirius, an a kid named Peter Pettigrew who always
followed us) to make one of the most complicated potions ever. The
potion to become animagi. We all had different reasons to do it. Peter
wanted to be able to make it into the classrooms so he could get a
hold without them seeing him. Sirius wanted a disguise for when he
would go to visit his little friends in the middle of the night. And I
wanted to help Remus. I had found out that he was a ware wolf when we
were in 2nd year, and felt horrible about how he would have to go into
that shack and eat himself alive. So I decided to give him some
company. You could call it a fucking miracle that I even gave a damn
that he was a ware wolf, let alone want to help him. I guess I just
felt that he was friend. I felt that I needed to make sure he was ok.
And that's how our friendship sprang. Two totally different people,
who turned out to work pretty well together. That didn't mean we
followed each other around everywhere. He still had his little posse
and I still had mine.

As I ate 3 of Remus' friends came and joined him. Two I knew,
1 I didn't. Kyle Kuchler sat to the left of Remus, and Jade Pedaux to
the right. The other girl sat across from him on my side of the table.
About 5 minutes later Brent and Preston left to go find their
girlfriends and I decided to join Remus. I sat In front of Remus, and
to the left of the girl I didn't know.

"Hey James, you know Jade and Kyle?"

"Yes, but who is your lovely friend here?" I asked pointing to the
girl next to me. Just because I didn't know her didn't mean I didn't
find her attractive. In fact she was quit attractive, she had long
reddish hair, and very pretty green eyes. Her figure was nice too, and
even though she didn't have a huge chest, the way she seemed confident
seemed to diminish the need for one.

"Oh sorry, I thought you et her. James, this is Lily Evans. And Lily,
this is Jame-"

"I know," She said. As she turned back around and continued to talk to
her friend. I raised my eyebrows and asked her

"Just how do you know?" Looking aggravated, she turned around and
asked "

"Do you really not know? Or are you just trying to be a smartass?"

"What do you mean?" I was starting to feel like Mary Ann, and I scared
me that this girl could make me look so stupid.

"I mean, you are James Potter. The ice king, the 'I'm too good 4 you',
the 'Mr. Popular'', the 'womanizer'. Should I go on? Because I've
heard tons of names to describe to infamous Quiddch king; Oh! There's
another one!" She turned back around and started to pick up on her
conversation with Jade once again, while everyone in hearing range
just stared at he range disbelief. No one had ever actually said
something like that to my face. No one actually made that mean of a
comment except the Slytherins. I guess the reason why everyone looked
so scared was because I basically had the power to make her the
biggest outcast in the world just because of who I was. I guess they
thought I was such a cold hearted bastard, that I would do that just
because she had told me what she though. I wasn't going to though. No
matter how cold and overly popular I was portrayed to other people, I
still had feeling, and I still wasn't that mean. Jade looked at me
with wide eyes and grabbed Lily before I could say anything else. I
watched them exit the Great Hall wishing that I could follow along.
Wishing, strangely enough as it is, that Lily would tell me more. That
she would fill me in on how people really saw me. But I couldn't. It
wasn't expected for me to. If I did someone just might have told my
father that I was following around low class mudbloods. Needless to
say, that would be bad.

After getting my schedule, I found that several of my classes
weren't to my liking. Last year Mackie mac mac had said, and I quote:
"I will do anything, and I mean anything to keep you and Mr.Snape
apart as much as I can, even if it means picking each of your
electives." So now I'm stuck with the crappiest schedule in the world.
None of my electives are any good or at least with my friends. Pulse,
all of them contain teachers who have seemed to develop a grudge
because of my small pranks over the years. Well, all actually, except
one. The mugglestudies teacher isn't listed, and I'm sure I've never
met him or her. Oh well, I've got it next anyways, I guess I'll find
out.

----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+----------+-----
----- +----------+----------+----------+----

So there is one good thing about 'Mugglestudies'; the pretty
redhead sitting across from me.

"So I hear you a walking thesaurus who's specialty is on James
Potter." She lifted her head and smiled at me.

"Sorry, I just don't like you." I was a little shocked at the far from
flirtatious answer she had given me.

"Well why is that? You don't even know me." She got up, put her hands
on either side of my chair, and turned me to face her.

"Please get up Mr. Potter." A little intimidated, I stood up.

"Good, now please take a seat in the front, I don't trust you in the
back.."

"Just what the hell do you think your doing? You're not the teacher,
and you will not tell me where to sit!" was outraged by now if you
haven't gotten the point.

"Sit in the front Potter." Oh God. It's Mackie Mac Mac. "She is your
professor, and you will do what she asks when in her class." Lily just
stood by with a self-conscious look as Mackie left the room, and I
went to the front of the class room. She cleared her throat and began
with

"Why don't we start with the concept of 'movies'. Anyone seen one
before?" The class politely chuckled as she went on with the lesson.

At that moment I decided I would make her crack. I would break her
emotionally. Little did I know she would come to break my emotions and
my heart. Little did I know, she would take my heart into a bitter
game called love that I could not quit.

***** It ain't me, it's the people that say

The men are leading the women astray

But I say, it's the women today

They're smarter than the men in every way

That's right, the women are smarter

That's right, the women are smarter*****
