A/N: I know they seem young for all of this boyfriend girlfriend stuff, but that's how it was with us, I swear. There's a reason for the shortness of this chapter…I swear! See, I have two ideas about how to write this, and I don't know which one I like better, so I'm going to the next chapter in the other format, and it will be the same thing as this one plot-wise...
My first meeting with James Potter was hardly what you would call love at first sight. I knew him by name only, as he wasn't in my class. He was however, in Diane's class, which was of great use to me.
It all started with Devon. Devon never liked me very much. He was always making fun of my hair, calling me things like "Fireball." I told my mother, and she said, "Call him Blondie." Blondie? Blondie is a real harsh insult, Mum. Are you sure he can handle that?
But, Devon did like my very best (and only) friend, Jessie. And Jessie liked him. Unfortunately, Devon had a girlfriend, Diane. Personally, I always thought that Diane was a good match for Devon. She "hated Jessie and all of her fucking ass friends." Remember, we were only nine then. It was a big deal to kids who thought nerd was the most cutting insult in the world.
Like I said, Diane was in Devon's class. So, I figured, if I told James to tell Diane that Devon made-out with Jessie, she'd dump him and he would be miserable which was always fun. It didn't occur to me at the time that he would still be dating Jessie.
I don't think it mattered, at any rate. I saw James in line as his class was going to recess and our class was coming back. When I asked him, he said, "Why?"
"To make Devon's life miserable," I explained, before the line moved forward. I glanced back at him to see him giving me a very strange look.
