Thank you for all the reviews so far, it was sad to know that chapter 1 had
funny symbols. So I'm not going to use italics anymore. And I changed
Chimaro to Emiko.
CHAPTER 2
"Lin, wait up!" James called to Emiko Lin, the girl he had a crush on ages. Calling her by her last name had been a habit he could not change. It had something to do only with the girls he liked.
Emiko turned around, trying hard not to smile. She had beautiful long silky hair, exotic Asian eyes and ruby red lips. She was one of the prettiest girls in the school, whom almost every guy could not take theirs eyes off her. Everyone could tell that she liked James, and James liked her as well, but somehow they were not convinced.
Her friends giggled to each other quietly and left. Emiko stood awkwardly, despite of her beauty, she was rather shy in person.
"Hey James." Her eyes fixed to the ground.
"Listen, I was wandering if you're free tomorrow, you know Hogsmeade weekend and so yeah." he trailed off.
"I'd love to. I mean, sure." Emiko brightened up.
"Meet you at 9 in the hall." James sighed in relieve.
Emiko smiled politely and walked off. She couldn't wait for tomorrow to come, to her this seemed like a dream.
James bounced away happily; he couldn't wait to tell Sirius the good news. He whistled loudly, it was the next best thing from jumping up and down screaming.
*~*~*~*
Lily Evans, unlike James, was thoroughly depressed. She checked all the possible places- to no avail. In her head, she knew all along that James potter had taken it. But why must she approach him? Then he would know that she saved him. Well, 'save' was a bit too much, but the last thing she wanted to do now was to speak to a stranger.
She tried to think of a scheme, she could steal it at night. But where would he put it? The thoughts nagged her mind. She walked absent-mindedly, and so she didn't see where she was going.
She turned around a corner, and was suddenly thrown backwards. She fell down and did not bother to get up. All she could think of was that precious bracelet of hers.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." A voice spoke.
Lily made no reply but continued to sit on the ground.
The person bent down and offered a hand. Something gold tumbled out of the pocket. It was lily's bracelet. It dropped right on her palms, shining ever so bright.
"My bracelet!" lily cried out, a single tear rolled down her cheeks. It was only then that she looked up, knowing perfectly well who it is.
"This is your bracelet?" James asked, with a tone of curiosity.
"Yes, it's mine." Lily snapped back to reality.
"How did it get there?" he asked again. He had a feeling that there was a long story behind it. And this girl had a long story behind herself too.
"Thanks, but that's none of your business." Lily replied sharply. This was how she usually talked. Especially to strangers.
"Well, I'm just wondering. I found it in the Hospital Wing; it was just lying there. Were you sick?" James shrugged good-naturedly, letting nothing spoil his good mood.
"Yes, are you happy now?' lily lied, thinking that was the best way to get rid of him.
"Yes, yes. Oh, and thanks for taking me to the Hospital Wing the other night." James grinned cleverly. He had been studying her face for a while, and he knew that she was lying.
"I don't know what you're talking about!" lily retorted angrily. Damn rat, why can't he leave me alone?
Lily walked away but James pursued.
"So what's your name? I think you know I'm James potter. You know, you are a very interesting person." It was true. No girl had ever spoken to James potter like that.
"N-O-Y-B stands for none of your business." Lily glared at him coldly.
"And T-M-Y-N stands for tell me your name." James said cockily.
"And L-M-A-N stands for leave me alone now!"
James shook his head. She had disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"I'll find out your name one way or the other." James shouted to the emptiness.
*~*~*~*
"So she just disappeared?" Sirius looked very impressed. It wasn't normal for any girl to reject James potter. In fact, Sirius was just as curious as James to whom this mysterious girl was.
"What coloured hair does she have?" Remus questioned. He had a feeling that he knew who James was talking about. It just had to be her.
"Couldn't see, but I have a feeling it's red." James replied thoughtfully. He just had a feeling that he had seen this girl somewhere before. The eyes look so familiar. But where?
"What do you mean you have a feeling? We're not talking about feelings." Sirius raised an eyebrow. He glanced at James, who seemed lost in thought.
Remus, in the meantime, had made no response. If lily didn't want James to know her identity, then I should respect her for that. Only he knew the real reason to lily's coldness and why people didn't like talking about her.
I must tell James to give up, thought Remus.
Okay that was a weird chapter, and I didn't word it very well. But please review anyway. And as for my other fic, I'm not updating til I have at least 10 reviews. ("c")
