Enjoy the chappie!

There's Always Next Year! By Bec Reynolds
"Go out with me" repeated James. James was still on the ground, topless and looked really desperate.
Lily on the other hand was two steps from the door. Not to mention she was fully dressed. "Ummm" mumbled Lily, she pursed her lips together.
Suddenly chatter from the corridor could be heard.
"……..yeah I know"
"Then he does the 'you're special' speech"
"And don't forget the puppy dog eyes"
"And then, seconds later, you're miraculously snogging in a broom closet, or empty classroom"
"I can't believe we've both kissed the same guy. It's grosse, it's like having my tongue in your mouth"
"EOW"
"But it's true. I went out with him before you, and I kissed him before you. So that means I don't have any of your germs, but………you have my germs"
Laughter could be heard, then immediately stopped.
"Evans must feel like the biggest NUMBER in the world"
"Yeah, I agree. James is hot and everything, but Evans is the type of girl who would go for personality before looks and popularity. She's the total opposite of us"
"And to have your first kiss with a slut like James would make you regret boys and kissing forever"
"Maybe even love"
"Yeah"
Inside the classroom every word could be heard. Lily was not crying, she was devastated at hearing what she just heard, but she just couldn't find the strength to cry over him anymore.
Lily reached the door in two swift steps. Waiting outside the classroom were the two girls who had been talking. The two girls who had both gone out with James Potter. And the two girls who had stopped her from saying 'yes' to his question.
The two girls were both in Ravenclaw. Sakura Chang and Sophia DeGuiche. They were popular, pretty, nice, but very gossipy. Sakura had straight, shoulder length black hair, while Sophia had magically curled, mid-back length brown hair.
"Morning" said Lily, as she sprinted her way down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Moments later James emerged from the empty classroom.
"Sakura, Sophia" said James "Where's Lily?"
Sakura and Sophia had their jaws wide open. They weren't paying attention to what he was saying. They were taking in every detail of his chest, abs, arms…….. It was true that they went out with him, but neither had ever seen him bare-chested. All they did was snog.
"Mmmmm" they mumbled together, eyes focused on his body.
"Forget it!" yelled James angrily, as he ran to the Great Hall.

The fifth years had just finished their final O.W.L, tranfigurations, and the mood around the castle was jovial and relaxed. Many students were outside playing in the lake or sunbaking in the sun. While others went back to their dormitories and packed up their belongings. They would be leaving Hogwarts tomorrow, not returning for 3 months.
James, still in his boxer shorts was flying through the air. Sirius trying to catch up. James had had to take his exam in his boxer shorts. He had plenty of time before the exam to get some clothes on, but instead, he searched the castle up and down, inside out. (Peter had something really important to do so he begged them for the Marauder's map) He never found what he was searching for. He never found Lily Evans.
"OH I GIVE UP" yelled James as he slackened his pace.
"P-r-o-n-g-s" screamed Sirius from behind "S-l-o-w d-o-w-n m-a-t-e-!"
The two black haired boys landed on the sloping lawns ten minutes later. In those ten minutes James had explained what Sakura and Sophia said, and what happened with him and Lily.
"There's always next year" assured Sirius as he slung an arm across James' shoulders "There's always next year"
"Yeah" sighed James.
James and Sirius made their way to their dirty dormitory and packed away their things.
************************************************************************
"THE CARRIAGES ARE WAITING LADIES" yelled McGonnagoll.
Lily Evans, Rebeccah Reynolds, Emmeline Vance and Isabella Johnson were the last of the students to make their way to the carriages.
"Sorry Professor" apologized Lily, with a sweet smile.
"It's alright Ms. Evans" she smiled too "Have a nice holiday"
The four girls got into the last horseless carriage and took one last look at their school.
"See ya" yelled Isabella to Hogwarts "Can't wait for summer"
"You're not going to miss it" replied Lily.
"Course not" yelped Isabella and Em, both shot Lily a 'are you crazy' look.
"I will" whispered Bec quietly.
"Yeah me too" agreed Lily.
"You guys realize we have TWO MORE YEARS LEFT" yelled Bella, shooting Bec and Lily her famous 'are you crazy' look.
"You know those years will go by so fast" said Bec as she looked back at Hogwart's "The next thing you know, we'll be graduating"
"Getting jobs" added Lily.
"Getting engaged" squealed an excited Em.
"Getting married" screamed Bella.
The carriage was filled laughter and tears from Bec.
"Hold up" cried Lily "I just got my first kiss, I don't want to think about marriage yet"
Lily smacked her hand over her mouth. For the past day and night the subject of 'Lily's first kiss' was not discussed, well at least not in front of Lily.
"Lils" soothed Bec "It's not a crime for kissing Potter"
"It is, if he played you like a fool" muttered Lily.
"We all know James a prick" yelled Bella.
"Me the most" yelled Lily in reply.
"But sometimes things just happen" explained Bec quietly "Lily don't think about it like it's a really, really bad thing. Because it wasn't. He cared enough to give you his invisibility cloak and let you get back to the tower safely. He cared enough to have a talk to you yesterday, and he probably cares more then any of us can imagine"
There was a soothing silence.
"I still have his invisibility cloak" muttered Lily "Damn! That means I have to see him again"
"There's always next year" said Em cheerfully.
"Yeah" sighed Lily.
************************************************************************
Neither Lily or James saw each other on the train or at Kingscross Station. James longed to see Lily's beautiful face, while Lily wished to never see his messy black hair ever again.
How could this have happened? How could a love so true, turn so complicated and miserable?

A/N – sorry guys I have to leave you there! Hope you liked. Elle won the bet this week. Damn. Oh well there's always next week. Sorry didn't know how to end the year. I know it was a pointless chappie, but I need a way for Lily not to say 'yes' to him. Next chappie will be up next week!
