kelliethehottie lol thank you so much for confirming that for me. I was a
little confused for a moment.
Auntarctic I know. We don't want to make Angel MAD now do we? = P
My breath caught in my throat while a heated argument took place in my head.
"Does she not know that I have a girlfriend? No way! Everyone knows about us. Then why is she asking me? Oh what the hell, who cares why she's asking. Either way I'm bound to ask Angel instead, right?"
I looked at Lily who was staring at me hopefully and anxiously fidgeting with her hands. She looked almost too good to be true, and this opportunity was hard to pass up.
"I'm not sure," I replied, causing Lily to frown, "but I'll think about it, okay?"
Lily smiled and said, "Okay then. Tell me tomorrow?" I nodded.
"Well, good-night then." And she pulled me into a quick hug before going up the stairs to the girl's dorms.
I was in shock. Although the hug didn't last long, I felt strange, yet faintly comfortable with her arms around my neck.
"Oh boy, this is gonna suck," I thought to myself as I headed up to my dorm.
That night, I tossed and turned as I pondered Lily's invitation. It never occurred to me that there would be anything wrong with accepting, but whenever I considered the possibility, I couldn't help feeling guilty about it. Despite the strain in our relationship, I didn't want to hurt Angel, and I secretly hoped that by asking her to the ball, I could see her wonderful smile once more.
"Sorry Lily," I thought before drifting off to sleep.
The next morning, I overslept. I missed breakfast and arrived in Transfiguration 10 minutes late.
"Stupid girl troubles," I muttered to myself as I opened the door only to be greeted by McGonagall's icy glare.
"50 points from Gryffindor, Potter. I cannot BELIEVE you're making me do this to my own house." And that was only the beginning...
For the remainder of the day, I tried to avoid Lily. I raced to each class, taking the most insane detours just so I wouldn't have to say no to her.
Finally, at lunch, I approached Angel.
Over the lively chatter between her and her friends, I asked, "Am I interrupting?"
At this, the noise stopped, and Angel turned to me.
"Will you be my date to the ball?" I asked.
She stared hard at me for a minute and said simply, "I'm sorry, but I can't. I'll be at home that weekend. You know, for my parents' funeral?" Then she shrugged at me and went back to talking to her friends.
I didn't say a word. I mean, what could I say? Despite the sadness of my rejection (not to mention by my own girlfriend), some terribly annoying part of me kept telling me that it was a good thing. For as soon as I left that table, I immediately scanned the Hall for that neighborhood-friendly redhead that I had been looking to avoid all day.
I managed to find her in the library just before dinner. She was by herself and appeared to be studying (as most studious people are when they're in the library), but when I got closer, I noticed that she was actually reading a muggle book called "How to Get Your Crush". I made the mistake of loudly clearing my throat to get her attention, and upon seeing me, she gasped and hastily tried to hide the book. Then, as if I wasn't there, she pulled out her Potions Essay and began doodling on it.
After a few tense seconds, I greeted her with a wide grin, "Hi."
She glared at me before resuming her activities. "What do YOU want, Potter?"
I'm sorry this chapter is so short, but I know that a lot of you like it more when I update faster = P. The next chapter will be out soon, as soon as I see some reviews Oo.
