Chapter Two: The brush on my hand...
---
Okay, I'm back. You won't believe the day I'm just had, diary. It's almost too hard to believe. And it's only the second day back at school. Boy, that James Potter sure has some nerve. You've got no clue what I'm going on about so I'll fill you in. Right from the start, here goes...
So, this morning I woke up, totally content to spending the day joking with my friends, not that I'd lag in class or anything; I won't forget what my father said. I glanced at my watch and almost fainted, I had woken up late. LATE, diary. I know you're thinking this isn't exactly a big thing, but it is for me, I'm Lily Evans, I'm never late, ever. So I was in a complete rush. And in my rush you won't believe what I forgot.
My Transfiguration text.
But of course, I didn't know that at the time. So I grabbed my pre-packed book bag and bolted out of Gryffindor Tower and down into the Great Hall. I took a seat next to Remus, luckily, I didn't want James googling at me instead of his food. He had a way of doing that when I sat next to him.
Remus was quietly reading, as usual. I would have probably brought out a book at the time, but I hadn't eaten a thing, I was totally famished. James had, thankfully, saved at least one pancake for me. Peter had a way of eating everything on his plate, and he would take the entire plate if you weren't careful.
Breakfast had to be the most calming part of my morning. Actually, Charms, which was my first class, wasn't a trouble. Except Professor Flitwick gave us a hefty essay, ON THE SECOND DAY OF SCHOOL! I swear, professors shouldn't be able to do that. And I caught Severus Snape smirking at him when Flitwick announced we had an essay. I have no idea what is wrong with that boy. No matter how hard I try to be nice to him, be just hates me more for it. He's just a little prejudice prick, all because I'm a muggleborn; or in his words, a Mudblood. I happen to be quite proud to be muggleborn thank you very much.
So Flitwick dismissed us at the end of the period, duh! And we all tottered off to Transfiguration. Where, unfortunately, I was seated next to James. This was the point where I realised I forgot my text. You should have seen the look in James' eyes when he realised I had to SHARE with HIM. I gave Remus, Peter and Sirius the most pleading looks to change with me, but those boys were absolutely no help. Left me there, with James. I will get them back, you mark my words.
Sure, I've got nothing against James, it's just he's a little over-obsessive. I think it's the fact that I'm one of the only things in his life that he's truly wanted and been denied. So he just tried harder. It is hard to resist. He does have a sweet little heart under all that big-headedness. You just have to know where to look.
I don't know how many times James tried to catch my eye during that period, I swear, I lost count at thirty-seven. He just wouldn't stop. Continuously pretending to 'accidentally' brush my hand as I tried to turn the page, or asking me things continuously, just to hear my voice; He almost got me in trouble. It was cute, in an immature, boyish kind of way. But I can't play him along, not until I know my true feelings.
I think my true feelings are rather masked, even to me. I think ambition and determination get in the way a little too much. But I have to look out for me. I can't go gallavanting off with any old boy, just because I have a crush on them. I need to keep my head down and study, right?
Oh, who am I kidding? I like James, I like him alot. I suppose today wasn't so terrible. I did get a funny feeling in my stomach when James' hand brushed over mine. And when he caught my eye while McGonagall was explaining to Sirius why he should be paying attention, instead of transfiguring the legs of his table, which wasn't pleasing Remus might I add.
So it's settled, I have a thing for James, okay, more than a thing. I have an itty-bitty big thing for him. But what am I to do now. I can't just tell him, he'd think I was joking, and I'd hurt him. And what if this is all a marauder prank with me? I've seen Sirius and James do it to so many girls. It's so cruel, and the look in those girls eyes when they laugh in her face. I don't know why I care for them so, when they're so mean, I guess you just can't help it. They're just irresistable, i s'pose. They're like a magnet, and you can't control whether you're pulled in or not.
Look what you've done now diary, you've distracted me, and I've lost sight of what I was writing.Oh, sugar, look at the time. I'll be late again tomorrow if I don't get to sleep soon. I'm helping James with his Charms essay tomorrow, I don't want to look all baggy, now do I. So, I will write again soon,
- Love Lily.

END CHAPTER.
Oh that was toooooo short. Too short for my liking anyway. I want to say that I loved all your reviews. Especially Rosiem eisoR's review. I don't actually have a spell-chekcer anymore. My Microsoft Word was deleted from my computer, so I have to get Word 2003. So excuse my errors, it was twelve am and I was trying to type while my brother watched Blade 2 in the lounge room. Anyway, until next chapter...
