"Trouble Begins to Stir"
"Life is so great," Alice said cheerfully while dancing around the room.
"Get her to sit down, Lily, she's making me dizzy!" complained Allie. Lily laughed. She knew was no use trying to get Alice to sit down after getting roses from her secret admirer.
"Can you believe it, I have a secret admirer!" Alice cried. "It's so cool!" She smiled at her two friends who were getting ready for breakfast.
"Yes, we know Alice," Allie groaned.
"Aren't you happy for me?" Alice asked her. "I am, but you continue to talk about it!" Allie cried. Alice and Lily laughed.
"Who do you think it is?" Lily asked slyly. Alice shrugged and began naming guys.
"You don't think it might be Frank?" questioned Lily.
Alice faced fell for a second. "No," she answered, "Besides, he already said he doesn't like me like that why would he suddenly change his mind."
"Enough talking about this touchy subject, I'm famished!" Allie said grabbing both Lily and Alice's arms. They walked down the stairs while Alice continued on about her secret admirer.
…
The girls arrived at the Great Hall and sat down next to three of the Marauders.
"Where's James?" Lily asked. Sirius not looking up from his plate pointed down the Gryffindor table. Lily looked towards where Sirius was pointing and saw James sitting with a rather pretty girl Lily had never noticed before.
"Who's she?" she asked with her eyes still glue to the two.
"Camille Baker," Allie answered. Lily turned to look at her.
"You know her?"
"She's in my Care of Magical Creatures class. She transferred to Hogwarts like last year from Beaubaxton. A real brat if you ask me," Allie said truthfully.
"I've never noticed her before."
"Me neither," Alice said.
"Of course you haven't. She didn't start to blossom until over the summer," Sirius said while making gestures near his chest. Remus snorted, and Allie hit Sirius over the head. The rest of the group laughed.
"Pervert!" Allie accused him.
"I'm just saying," Sirius said defensively.
"Only you notice things like that, Padfoot," Remus said. Sirius shrugged it off.
"She's real fine, if you catch my drift," he said winking, earning him another smack across the head.
"Lay off woman!" he cried covering his head with his hands. "I would have shagged her by now if she wasn't so self centered."
Allie rolled her eyes. "Sirius you're self center too."
"So…"
They laughed at him.
"So what is she doing with James?" Lily asked feeling a tiny bit jealous.
Remus swallowed his food and answered, "Trying to woe him."
"Poor guy," Sirius said.
"Why?" Alice asked.
"She's downright annoying!" Sirius said. They laughed.
"She can't be that bad," Lily said.
"Trust me, Lily, she's annoying," Allie said.
"I'll risk it," she answered. She waved her arms and cried, "Hey James."
James turned his head and saw Lily. He smiled at her and mouthed that he'll be right there. She nodded and turned back to the group.
"You're dead meat lady," Sirius told Lily.
"Why?"
"You just can't go after James like that. Especially, if he's being chased by Baker," Sirius said.
"Why not?"
"She'll think you're trying to steal him," Remus said.
"She'll skin you alive!" Allie cried. "She a real jealous one." Lily laughed at her friends.
"I'm serious, Lily, she come after you."
"Maybe you should lay off hanging around James for awhile," Alice cautioned.
"But he's my friend," protested Lily.
"I'm just saying." Lily frowned. It couldn't be that bad, could it?
…
Camille followed the stare of James' eyes. He was looking at Lily Evans, the Head Girl with red hair and perfect features. Camille's inside boiled with jealousy. How his eyes showed such longing for her! She scowled.
"What awful red hair!" Camille exclaimed in her thick French accent, smirking.
James turned to look at her. He was frowning. "I think it's really rather quite lovely." Camille scowled.
"Would you excuse me?" James said getting up from his seat. He walked away from her towards Lily.
Camille hated Lily. James Potter was supposed to be hers. He wasn't suppose to like anyone else, but her! Lily Evans will regret ever getting in the way of Camille Baker.
…
"Hey guys!" James greeted them, but he was looking at Lily.
"Hey!" they greeted in unison. He earned a smile from Lily, and inwardly he was bursting from happiness. He sat down across from her.
"How was it?" Sirius asked.
"Awful," James said dramatically. Lily smiled.
"You don't like her?" she asked slyly. James looked at her.
"Never," he said and shivered. She laughed at him.
They went back to eating. When they were about to leave Camille came floating down the table stopping behind James.
"James would you like to accompany to my dorm," she cooed.
He grimaced before he turned to look at her.
"Aw, I'm sorry Camille I already promised Lily I'll hang out with her the whole day."
Camille frowned at Lily before kissing James on the cheek.
"Well, when you're free come find me," she said seductively in his ear and turned to leave. James quickly wiped off the place where she had kissed him.
"Always a charmer," Lily said a hint of jealousy hidden behind her voice. James just looked at her.
"Jealous?" Sirius whispered into her ear smirking. Lily hit him across the head and glared. He laughed it off. "Denial isn't good for your health," he said.
"Shut up," Lily said scowling.
…
James' POV
I can't help but want more from Lily. Can't she tell I want her? She seems to just want to be friends. I'm through being friends; I want it to be so much more! I know everyone can tell how much I long to hold her in my arms, to be finally be able to call her mine, everyone but her. Does she like me back? I can't ask her out afraid to ruin our friendship, but I sometimes feel like I'm going to explode from not being able to tell her how much I need her.
James watched as Lily joked with Allie and Alice. Her red hair looked like it was dancing. He wanted to remember her face forever. He wanted to remember every feature on her face, every scar. He knew he had to wait, though. Of he wanted them to go on to have a relationship he would have to wait for her to want him before telling her how much she meant to him.
