Good morning mister
sunshine, you brighten up my day.
Come sit beside me in your way.
I see you every morning, outside the restaurants,
The music
plays so nonchalant.

Lina's POV
August 25, 1975
I would say that right now the best word to describe what I just did is:
Oops.
It was probably not the wisest course to knock Sirius Black down.
Actually it definitely wasn't. At all.
But really, I didn't "knock" him down. He fell down all by himself. I think it was for the drama of Musical Duo's cooing at him.
Or maybe because he tripped on a chair after I gave him an eye to match his last name.
Whatever. Same diference.
So maybe I did overreact. So sue me. And maybe all that he said was: "are you really a contestant?"
Maybe he meant that he found my resisting to stereotypeism admirable. Or not. It's possible. But I doubt it. Highly.
It's just that all day I've gotten funny looks, raised eyebrows and rude comments on the fact that I'm really not beauty contestant material.
It really shouldn't, but it hurts that a guy that looks as good as Black doesn't think I'm beauty contest material.
Which is ridiculous, because obviously, I'm not. Beauty contest material, I mean.
My new roommate, Lily Evans, is great though. Her best friend Arianna is supposed to be here by now. I hope she'll like me. Knowing my people skills, or lack thereof, she won't.
I'm just really happy that I've met someone I actually get along with, and can have a conversation with.
I'm starting to see why most people prefer their friends to be living, breathing, people, not books.
Interesting. I wonder if I'm losing my edge.
Lily has told me a lot more about the kid I beat up in the common room and his friends. I couldn't help but notice that the one she managed to throw into every other sentence was James Potter, who she claims is her enemy.
I think she likes him.
Don't tell her I said that. She has about as much self control over her inflicting pain on others as I do, which to say the least is not much.
To narrow it down, James is the jock, Sirius is the womanizer- great. I give the school womanizer a black eye on my first day. Smooth.- Remus is smart and as studious as a mauruder can be, and Peter- peter is peter. Apparently he has no purpose. Poor kid. Don't I know what that's like.
It's strange, but having this contest kind of gives me a purpose. Maybe it gives me something to put my energy into. Or maybe my frustrations. Maybe both.
Who knows.
I don't.
A/N: This chapter is incredibly short. I'm very very sorry. This is just to throw one atcha. Next one will be MUCHA better. With a dialogue of Arianna…. (hint: think quidditch + Remus. YAY)
Thanks to my reviewers. I'm still a little shocked how many I've gotten.
Miss Lady Padfoot: Yup next chap. will prob. Be mostly dialogue. I was planning to put it on this chapter, but I am just too tired right now. I'll prob. Write it tomorrow in study hall. I'm sorry that an all dialogue story you read once was scary! ;)
Bet it was my other story which is just terrible. NO ONE read Normal Life. The last chap. I've done are awful. I promise this won't happen to this story. Cross my heart.
Hawiian-Girl: I guess I'll send the next chap. to you because this is just kinda a little space filler so I can have an update, but it's not really worth it. Next one will be better!
Blink182Rox: well I've updated. I'm glad you thought it was funny.
Lilypad007: I'm glad you love it. I'm trying the update fast soon thingy. I tried to eliminate as many typos as possible this chap.
Beyonce-85: wow. Liiiiitle too much sugar? Thanks for your review though? I haven't gotten a review from someone that loves beauty pageants… hmm.
Are there any other beauty pageant fanfics other than this one? Because I'd love to read it. Review it to me.
(because guess what: I like beauty pageant stories too… shhh)
anyway. Beyonce I'm glad you think my story is special. I guess the story is a reflection on the writer.
Longer chapter SOOON!
