Chapter Seven

'He really was jealous!'

Lily was staring at James disbelievingly when someone cleared his throat in front of them.

Lily jumped a little.

"Oh, Kyle, you scared me!" Lily said, putting her hand to her heart.

"Hello, Belcher." James muttered.

"It's Boltcher." Kyle said and turned to Lily, "Could I talk to you privately?" Lily's eyes lit up, "Uh, sure!" she said and they walked off, leaving James standing by the lake, sorting out his thoughts.

###

"You wanted to talk to me?" Lily said when she and Kyle sat down by a tree.

"Yeah," Kyle looked at his hands, "I was, er...wondering, if...um...you would maybe want to..."

Lily smiled, "Go to Hogsmeade with you next weekend?"

Kyle smiled and nodded.

"I would love to, Kyle!" Lily said and hugged him.

"Thanks," he said.

Lily looked back at James, feeling slightly guilty for leaving him alone by the lake, "Look, I should be going back to James, I said I would take a walk with him. I'll see you in classes, then?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, of course!" Kyle said, still smiling.

Lily stood up, "Bye, see you then!" Lily said and waved.

Kyle waved back and she ran to James.

###

'I am not jealous. Lily was so stupid. Sometimes she can act just like very girl I've been out with. What? What am I saying? She's very different from them. Annoying, but different.'

James was absentmindedly throwing rocks in the lake.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when someone caught the rock he just threw.

Lily walked up to him and handed him the rock, "You know, you could hurt someone if you keep throwing rocks like that." She remarked and he snorted.

Lily fell into his arms, "Catch me before I faint." She said and he picked her up.

"Did Kyle ask you out?" James asked dully.

"How did you know?" Lily asked, poking James' cheek.

"Lucky guess." He replied.

Lily jumped out of his arms, "Look, I lost a friend to talk to about stuff like this, and then I gained one, I became your friend. The least you could do is be happy for me!" Lily said and pouted.

"Sorry, I was just thinking." James said quickly, feeling a twinge of guilt.

"I was only kidding." Lily said when she saw the guilty look on James face.

"Yea...so was I..." He said.

"That is the lamest excuse ever." Lily said, laughing.

"Are you calling me lame?" James asked, a grin appearing on his face.

"That's exactly what I'm saying, James Potter." Lily said.

"Oh yeah?" James asked.

"Yeah." Lily replied, giggling.

James bent down and picked up a pile of yellow and red leaves from the ground and threw them at Lily.

She shrieked and ran away from James, who had another pile of leaves in his arm.

She stopped and bent down to pick up a pile of leaves when James threw his pile at her.

"I'll get you, Potter!" She yelled and chased after him.

She threw the leaves at him and bent down to catch her breath when someone pushed her over.

She fell to the ground and her smile faded when she saw it wasn't James who pushed her.

"Beth? What was that for?" Lily said and looked up at Beth (her roommate) and Courtney (Beth's best friend).

"You were flirting with James, my man." Beth said.

"You guys are too possessive. Beside's, I wasn't flirting with him. He's my friend, we were just having fun." Lily said, becoming annoyed.

"Well, you can stop being 'friends' with him, or else you'll have to deal with us." Courtney said, obviously trying to sound intimidating.

Lily rolled her eyes, "Typical slut." She muttered.

James jogged up to them hair full of leaves, "What's going on?" he asked, catching his breath.

Beth extended her hand towards Lily, "Evans fell down. She's very clumsy, if you ask me. We were just helping her get up." Beth said and James smiled, "Ok, cool." He said.

Lily smacked Beth's hand away and stood up.

She had to keep an effort to hide her evil grin as she thought of a plan.

"Oh, James! Look at you, you're covered in leaves!" Lily said in a false girly voice.

James smiled sheepishly and tried picking the leaves out of his hair.

"Oh, here, let me help you." Lily said and stood in front of him.

She ran her hand through his hair and looked over her shoulder at Beth and Courtney.

Her plan was working perfectly.

They looked at her with faces mixed with shock and jealousy.

Lily turned back at James and stood closer to him. "Sorry about this. Beth was lying, she pushed me over, I didn't fall. I'm just trying to-" James nodded slightly and bent down to kiss her.

Lily's eyes widened but then she understood, 'He's just going along with the plan.'

She convinced herself that it was all just acting and deepened the kiss.

They were both too occupied to notice that Beth and Courtney had already stomped off.

Lily forced herself to break away from James to see the look on the two snobs faces.

She was disappointed to see they left, but she couldn't ignore the feeling in her stomach.

She felt butterflies in her stomach, which she had never felt before.

She turned to face James and backed away slightly.

"Sorry," she said quietly, "I was just trying to make them jealous. That was some good acting, though..." She laughed. 'Yeah, just acting.' James thought to himself.

Lily cleared her throat. "I should be doing my Transfiguration homework now."

James wiped his mouth nervously with the back of his hand, as if to remove lipstick. But there wasn't any. 'Lily's lips are naturally that color?!' he thought to himself.

"So, I'm going to go now." Lily continued, "Thanks, for, uh...going along with the plan." Lily said.

"Yeah." James replied.

"We got them good, huh?" Lily said, a grin spreading across her face.

Suddenly her eyes widened with fear, "Kyle!" she whispered frantically.

"What? Where?" James said, looking over his shoulder.

"No, no, he's not here." Lily said, taking a step back from James.

"What if he saw us?" she asked, worried.

James was disappointed. 'Of course. Kyle. Why does he have to exist?'

Lily mistook James' jealous expression for a worried one.

"It's ok, maybe he didn't see! If he did, I'll just explain to him me and you have no romantic feelings for each other, and that it was simply a joke we pulled. I mean, since you pull pranks all the time, it shouldn't be too hard to believe..." Lily said to James, rubbing his arm reassuringly.

"I should go find Sirius. Maybe we can pull another funny prank today. What fun." James said in a falsely happy voice.

He walked away quickly.

"James, wait!" Lily said and ran up to him.

He turned towards her, hoping that she would say that she didn't want him to leave, or that she felt that she liked him more then just a friend.

Of course, what she said was nothing of the sort.

"Promise me you won't torment anybody." She requested, her face serious.

"This is Snivellus we're talking about!" James said but looked at her stony face.

"I promise." He muttered.

"Thank you, James!" Lily said and pecked him on the cheek, before running inside the castle.

James rubbed his cheek, grinning like an idiot.

A/N: Yup yup yup, I know it's short. I can't help it! Yeah, I didn't feel like writing a longer chapter, so... well, please review!
