"Prongs. Pro-ngs! JAMES!"

"Huh?" I mumbled stupidly as Sirius sat down looking a little disgruntled that it took him so long to pull me out of my daze.

"You were creeping me out. You were staring off into space, and your mouth was hanging open," he said .

I quickly brought my hand to face, to check if I had any saliva hanging from my mouth. Nothing.

It was still summer break. We only had a week left, so I decided to invite Remus and Peter over for the remainder of the summer. They were supposed to be here soon.

Sirius and I were in my room, playing Exploding Snap. I was losing.

My room was simple enough. I had bed with red covers, my walls were covered with posters of my Quidditch teams, and I had a wardrobe filled with nice clothes and robes that I didn't even wear. Instead, I had a chest of drawers filled with my baggy, grungy clothes that I loved. My owl, Bolt, had a cage next to my window, which overlooked my front yard.

"You need to give up on her mate," Sirius quietly said. He looked over at me, his gray eyes were full of seriousness (no pun intended)

"What makes you think that I was thinking about her?" I asked.

Sirius rolled his eyes and said, "I know that look Prongs, it's the look you use when you think about Evans."

"I don't have a 'look'!" I protested.

"Why don't you have a look, James?" a voice spoke jokingly.

I turned my attention to my bedroom door and I saw Remus step in looking somewhat sickly, but that made sense since the full moon was two days ago.

"His 'Evans look', he claims he doesn't have one," Sirius piped in.

"That's a load of hippogriff dung, James. You have a look that you get when think about Lily, we see it all the time," Remus said shaking his head.

"I do not!"

I was getting angry. It always made me angry when they contradicted my behavior that had to with Lily.

"Easy Prongs! No need to get your knickers in a bunch," Sirius laughed.

"Let's change the subject," Remus offered quickly, making sure a fight didn't break out. "Where's Bolt, Prongs?"

"Off delivering a letter," I answered vaguely. It was true, he was delivering a letter, I just wasn't at liberty to say to whom he was delivering. Hopefully they wouldn't ask.

"To who?" Sirius asked. "I don't remember you sending anything."

Damn.

"No one important," I said nervously. In truth, I had sent a letter to Lily, asking her how her summer was. I just didn't want to drag up this conversation.

"It's Lily isn't it, James," Remus said smiling. How did he figure everything out? Sirius looked up and stared at me as if I was mental.

"No," I lied.

"You're a terrible liar," Remus said grinning more broadly.

"Okay, you caught me." I held up my hands in defeat.

"Are you mental!" Sirius cried jumping up from the floor. I knew why Sirius was so uptight about this. He was afraid of Lily. She scared him. Ever since last year. It went like this:

"Hey Evans, what a pleasant surprise meeting you here on this fine Wendsday morning," Sirius said swinging his arm over her shoulder as he sat down next to her at breakfast.

Lily looked royally annoyed. "Get off Black, I don't like being touched." She spat sourly.

Sirius only pulled her closer.

"Get off!" she yelled. She now had the attention of those that were sitting around her.

"But we're friends! We are supposed to hug!"

"Don't make me hex you!"

"Aw, is that anyway to treat your friend?" Sirius asked.

Her voice went calm, and she whispered, "Black, we could be friends except for one small thing, I only have friends of the female sex, while you, on the other hand are male." After she said that, she slowly reached into her robe pocket.

"Well, I'm sure you could make an exception," Sirius said slowly.

Then, Lily raised her wand out her pocket and jinxed him. Sirius didn't feel anything different, but when he looked down, he screamed.

Sirius was wearing a short white mini skirt and a pink tube top. On his face was a lot of make-up, which made him look easy.

Everyone around them started to laugh, and I think one guy even got a picture.

"Now, number one, we are not friends nor will we ever be friends. Number two, touch me again and you will look worse than a Slytherin, and number three, I would wash off that make-up. It makes you look like a man who wants to be a female prostitute," Lily said laughing as she finished that sentence.

Now you may ask why Sirius had his arms wrapped around her and why he wanted to friends. Well, we figured if we had my best friend befriend Lily, he could make me seem like a great guy, and Lily would go out with me. I thought it was good logic.

Nope, Lily didn't fall for it, just like all the other times I tried to make her see I wasn't so bad.
