A/N: I'm not really that good with the longer stories, so I'm going to skip through the story a lot, so don't get too confused...I'll try to make it good. And not too slow.

Chapter Two: She Loves Me...Not
As this was their fifth year at Hogwarts, not much free time was available. Every fifth year had studying to do, and OWLs were everyone's top priority...that is, except for the Marauders'. They were still pulling pranks on most of the Slytherins, and all wondered how they were keeping up with their school work and Quidditch practices.
Lily, however, was not concerned with any of this. She was focused on her studies and prefect duties, and was especially excited when she caught James doing anything wrong. He still would try to ask her out, and would still stare at her during class, but she kept turning him down, happy that he was failing at something. She decided she would keep her happiness to herself, though, and would only look mad at him.
James always thought of Lily, every day, every night. He was angry with her for not going out with him, but if only he wasn't so attached to hexing people. He still didn't care. That's what he did.
He kept up with his work...for Lily, but she didn't know that, nor did the Marauders. Whatever, who was he kidding? He would ask her out again tomorrow. Maybe she'd say yes, but...even he knew he was kidding himself. Still, he wanted her as his girlfriend.
The next day, as they were entering Transfiguration, James approached Lily, but before he could say anything, she glared at him. Knowing her reply, he asked his question meekly. As he expected, her answer was no. He walked away sulking.
The year went quickly for Lily after James tried to ask her out. She had completely put him from her mind. She, instead, spent her time in the library studying for her upcoming tests. Occasionally, she noticed James watching her, but she paid no attention. James was too much of a prat to mean anything to her.
A/N: I just read this chappy and it stinks like poo up a tree in acid rain. I'm really sorry for making you read this, and I know it stinks, but I'm really not in a writing mood right now (family issues). Please review anyway!!! (SGR!!!!!!!)
