Chapter 3: She May Be Eye Candy, but she ain't Gonna be Arm Candy
I yawn as I stretch. Mm. I sense something wrong and instinctively look over into the empty bed next to me. It isn't empty. I tiptoe over to it and look. A girl with straight shoulder length brown hair and unnatural red streaks is asleep. I poke her. She opens her eyes to reveal identical red orbs to her streaks. I gasp and take a step back. She laughs dryly.
"Uh, huh, ya little blonde prissy 'fraid of my eyes? Yea, scary, huh?" she says sarcastically. "You're probably just another one of them ditzy bimbos goin' after the hottest guy in school, eh?" She smirks. My redhead temper kicks in.
"Why, how dare you! I don't know why you got accepted here! You must've transferred from St. Morrow's Asylum for Mentally Incapable Children! That explains you're late-coming!" I scream angrily. Surprise flutters delicately across her face.
"You're not a true blonde. You're too smart." She acknowledges quietly. I give a satisfied smile.
"I'm a redhead." She nods.
"My deepest apologies. I have a, er, bad history with blondes. Let me start over. 'Morning. My name is Felecia Elizabeth Rachel Nessington, but you can call me Fern. My parents gave me a long name, so I use my initials(A/N Yes, I planned this out). I enjoy annoying people and reading." she tells us with a grin. I smile back.
"I'm Lily Anne Evans(A/N Is that what I said?). But I am currently playing a size extra large prank on 4 boys(You'll meet them, Fern) and my pretend name is Jade Winters. I originally have red hair and bright green eyes, but due to certain circumstances I am lacking these characteristics." I reply in mock-seriousness. She laughs.
"The Marauders, aren't they? They were talking about playing a prank on Snape, whom I'm assuming is a slimy Slytherin that everyone hates, last night and I believe we can beat them to it. But first we need to name ourselves." We huddle together and decide on "The Sarcastic Sweethearts". I'm Emerald, the only hint to my true self, Bella is Crystal, Molly is Amber, and Fern is Ruby. We match our eyes. Bella has brown hair and crystal blue eyes, I originally had emerald green eyes, Molly's eyes are the color of Ambers, and Fern's eyes are ruby red. It fits. We begin to plan. I listen intently. Perfect.

After Snape sits down we all take out our wands, then mutter something.
"Singaslimslytherino!" I whisper at the same time as the others say theirs. Snape suddenly has pink and red robes, tap shoes, and a serene smile on his face.
"My name is stupid Severus Snape,
I'm in love with the new girl,
Whenever people look at me,
they sure do start to hurl!
I am a slimy Slytherin,
who doesn't wash his hair,
I really don't have a brain,
and don't wear underwear!
I do my best to act tough,
when I'm just weird and dirty,
I'm sorry to say that I will stay,
This way until I'm thirty!
I can't believe I was born,
To idiots I'm an insult,
Everyone wishes that I was gone,
and everything is my fault!" He finishes. Everyone claps and looks at the marauders. They smile and bow. I fume and without thinking wave my wand at Snape.
"QUIET!" he shouts. Everyone stares at him. He reveals a filibuster firework in his hand and lights it. He shoots it into the air and it explodes, saying: THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE SARCASTIC SWEETHEARTS!!!! Everyone starts whispering. I grin and the four of us stand up and bow. Clapping erupts over the hall and the Marauders falter. After the applause dies down, Dumbledore stands up.
"I would like to announce that there will be the Beginning of Year ball next Friday. All years allowed. Thank you and enjoy your breakfast!" James walks over to me. He grins flirtatiously.
"How would you like to go to the ball with me?" He asks as though it's obvious what my answer will be. He's in for a surprise . . . I smile coldly.
"I don't date people I don't know. I may be eye candy but I refuse to be arm candy." And with that I pivot on my heel and walk away leaving him with his mouth wide open.

When we get back to our dorm we all laugh hysterically.
"That was a good one, Emerald!" Ruby compliments with a grin.
"You said it, Ruby!" Crystal adds. Amber just laughs.
"So, what do we do next?" I ask. Ruby gets an evil gleam in her eye and whispers her plan to me. My eyes widen and I grin. Then I tell Amber and Crystal. Life is perfect. At this point, nothing can ruin my day.
"Well, we got to get to class." I look at my watch. I gasp. It's 9:40! "GIRLS! We're ten minutes late for potions! Professor Alyosis is going to kill us!" We hurry off to class. When we slip in, Professor Alyosis stares us down. She smiles thinly.
"And what is you're reason for being 15 minutes late?" I think fast. With an apologetic face I speak without laughing.
"Um, my apologies. You see, we had to deal with our 'girl stuff'." I say. Sympathy crosses her face and she smiles sincerely.
"Ok, you're excused. I'm sorry for being so mocking. I was a teenage girl once . . ." A shadowy look crosses her face. A few students giggle. We take our seats and begin to doze off as Professor Alyosis begins to teach.
Sorry it was kinda short! Please R/R! Thanks! I'll have the next chapter out as soon as possible! Thanks! BYE!
