James blushed. "Yeah"
"Well, if you keep this up - you may just get her." Kiara said before packing up all of her stuff and headed out the door as the bell rang. Olivya caught up with her.
"Hey, what happened with you? You look - weird." Olivya told her.
"Oh, thanks."
Olivya rolled her eyes. "You know what I meant."
"Well I made a new friend. Her -" Kiara began.
"Are you replacing me? No! We outcast have to stick together!"
"I'm not replacing you - she's a 1st year. Relax. Anyway her name is Juliana. She's pretty cool."
"Well, what does she look like? She sounds familiar…."
"I dunno. Um, she has wavy hair that goes down to the bottom of her ears. It's and amber colour. There are some blonde highlights. Her eyes are silver -"
"Oh, so they're pretty eyes?"
Kiara smiled. "Yes. Anyway, she's short. She's not fat; I dunno what else to say about her."
"What about her personality?"
"Well," Kiara shrugged, "she's really shy. And from what I saw of her, she's pleasant but doesn't have any self-esteem."
"Ah, just like your love!" Olivya nearly shouted.
"Olivya, I'm never telling you anything." Kiara told her. Olivya frowned.
"Oh you know I'm kidding."
"I know, but what if it gets out."
"I'll tell everyone I was kidding."
"Kidding about what?" They heard a silky voice ask from behind them.
"Go away, Black." Olivya said nastily. Kiara shook her head, to put it nicely - Olivya and Sirius didn't exactly see eye to eye. And it wasn't just because she was shorter than he was.
"Ooh, nice, Davis. I love you too." Sirius told her putting an arm around her. She slapped it off.
"What part of 'Go away, Black' do you not understand?" Olivya asked annoyed.
"The part where I go away."
"Oh, because for a minute there I thought you didn't even know your surname."
"Ooh, that hit me right here, Davis." Sirius cried out, putting a hand in front of his heart. Olivya glared at him.
"So what did you mean by I might just get her yet?" James asked Kiara as Olivya and Sirius continued to quarrel.
"Well, from many nights hearing her whine about you, I have reason to believe that she would date you - if only you grew up." Kiara said, remembering those awful nights having to listen to it.
"Why would you think that?"
"She said it."
"Oh." Was all James could say. Kiara had the distinct feeling that James was shocked at this discovery.
"BLACK! SHUT UP!" Olivya yelled at him.
"Come on! You don't hate me that much!"
"Except I do!" Olivya returned. Kiara snickered.
"Is that all you wanted James?"
"Well, actually - we thought that was pretty cool that you stuck up for that first year." Sirius said, ignoring Olivya's last, malicious comment.
"Oh." It was Kiara's turn to be speechless.
"We hadn't realized that you were a good person." Kiara heard Peter say. Kiara felt bad that she didn't realize he was there, and then she realized that Remus was there too. She looked over at Olivya who smirked. Kiara glared.
"Peter, that was rude." Remus said quietly.
"Sorry, it came out the wrong way. I didn't mean to make it sound mean!" Peter said. Kiara smiled. "Peter, it's ok. I knew what you meant." Olivya gave her a strange look. Kiara knew what she was asking. She was asking why I was being so nice to Peter. She knew that I didn't like him that much. I shrugged and turned back.
"Why do people think you're so mean? You seem pretty nice to me." Sirius muttered.
"She's only nice to people she likes, Black." Olivya enlightened him.
"I would suppose that goes the same for you." He asked, as if he were truly interested.
"Pretty much."
"So, you don't like me?" Sirius asked.
"No."
"Sarcasm? Is that sarcasm I am hearing."
"Not on your life."
"I don't like a lot of people. And as Olivya said, I'm only nice to the people I like. But they always start out on my good side - they just don't prove themselves enough to stay on that side." Kiara answered.
Remus laughed. "I see, so we have proven ourselves?'
"Well, I guess. But it's obvious that Sirius hasn't proven himself to Olivya." Kiara whispered. Remus laughed again.
"You know, you're actually quite funny." Remus informed her. "I just wished more people were on your good side, then they'd be able to see that." Kiara smiled to herself. She looked up at him and saw that underneath his charming smile, he was hiding a dark secret. She saw the fresh, large scar across his face. She noticed that yesterday he wasn't in classes. She vaguely wondered if that had something to do with his secret. Remus must've realized what she was looking at because he turned away and put a hand over his face.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to stare, it's just - it looked like that hurt and I was wondering how you got it."
"Oh, well - it did hurt. But that's another story for another day." He said quickly. Lily Evans; goddess of the school walked by.
"Hullo Lil -" James started but was interrupted by Kiara's elbow in his stomach. Lily gave them and odd look and continued on her way. "What was that for Bliss?"
"Do you want her or not?"
"Well yes! Of course!"
"Then stop bothering her every time you see her!"
"Why are you helping me?" James asked.
"One, you're acting really pathetic and it's making me hurt. Two I'm sick of her complaining about youevery night."
"Yeah, I agree with Kiara. It gets a little tiring." Olivya said, finally stopping her fight with Sirius by ignoring him. "I'll help you too."
James grinned ear to ear. "Thanks!" He then hugged them.
"Whoa there, we're not that great of friends." Kiara said as they both pushed him off.
"We're doing this for our own personal gain, not yours." Olivya reminded him. James ignored that comment, still grinning. Sirius put his arm around Olivya again. She looked disgusted.
"I guess this means that we'll be spending a whole bunch more time with each other."
"Urgh, I hope not." Olivya said, shrugging off his arm and pushed him against a wall.
"Frisky are we Davis?" He asked.
"Not even in your dreams, Black." She whispered dangerously in his ear. Olivya backed up and took Kiara's hand. "Let's go. Before lover-boy over there recovers." She pulled Kiara away toward their next class.
"See you later Love!" Sirius yelled to Olivya. Olivya said nothing and flipped him off.
