Chapter 3

A Total Stranger

A/n: Well since you've waited so long for this chapter, I've decided to give you a treat! yay, throws confetti I've decided to post TWO WHOLE CHAPTERS at once!!! Happy, now? Well... REVIEW!

Alice and Kate didn't speak to Lily until a week later. They were still mad about Lily's coolness towards them. But after a week, they suspected that something was wrong. Lily's grades were slipping, she didn't talk to them and strangest of all, she was polite towards Maurice.

" Something's up with Lily," Alice noted one afternoon in the common room. Kate and she were watching Lily discuss homework with Maurice.

" Like totally, that girl never discuss homework with Maurice! She would never talk to her without blowing up!" Kate exclaimed. Everyone in the room turned to look at her. Lily included. She coolly glanced at Kate before turning back towards Maurice.

" Oh my god," Kate gasped. "Did you, like, see that? She totally ignored us! I think Lily likes Maurice better than us!"

" Oh, chill Kate," Alice frowned. "You are being paranoid. You know that McGonall : is that how you spell it?: made them partners."

" Well, I can't stand this any longer. I'm going to talk to her!" Kate marched over to Lily.

" Hi, Lils! Wassup?" Kate smiled brightly.

" Don't call me Lils," Lily replied coldly, not looking up. " Only my friends call me that. Maurice, want to work somewhere else?"

" Sure," Maurice smirked at Kate before leaving with Lily. Lily swept by Alice and Kate without a word.

" Still think I'm being paranoid?" Kate sarcastically.

" I can't believe her! She was like a total stranger!" Alice looked ready to cry. "We've been best friends since our 1st year!"

" Yeah, Lily's sure acting like a total stranger," Kate said sadly.

" We'll find out what's wrong with her," Alice said confidently.

Then James walked over.

" Hey, you guys," James said to them. "You know what's up with Lily? I threw a dungbomb at her and she didn't say anything. Lily just looked at me coolly and walked away with that bitch Maurice."

"We don't know either," Kate shrugged.

" I wish I did," Alice sighed sadly. She sat down on a sofa and looked at her shoes, her long blonde hair hiding her tears.

James looked at them for a moment and said, "I'll try to talk to her again. I'll let you guys know if she tells me anything." With that, he walked out of the room.

Kate and Alice just sat there, not saying anything. Suddenly the door flew open and a furious Lily burst in.

" Lily!" Alice ran over to hug her.

" Get off of me you bitch!" Lily pushed her off on to the floor. Alice looked as if she had been slapped. "What I want to know is, why the damn hell are you guys being so mean to me. I mean, fine! The previous pranks I can handle. A soggy bed, warning notes, balloons popping at me everywhere. But this?" Lily held up her torn textbooks and robes. "Uh-uh, girlfriends! I'll have my revenge soon!" With that Lily threw a letter at them and stomped away.

Alice slowly picked up the robes, buried her face in it and cried. Kate looked shocked.
