Chapter 3:
Elena. She seemed to be a perfect model of…a perfect person. It almost seemed impossible that such a person could even exist in real life, she was too unbelievable. Wavy, dirty blonde hair reached down to her shoulders, and her blue-green eyes always sparkled.
She was the new student, and almost every guy's eyes were on her. Including James, believe it or not, ceasing to crush on only Lily, but now continuing to crush on both ladies.
All week James resisted to talk to her, instead tried to act 'cool' and mysterious, so as to get her attention. He played his normal pranks, although by himself, he joked his normal jokes, though to himself, and was his normal self…by himself.
He thought it was a rather good plan at first, until the week was nearly over and Elena still hadn't said two words to him. He admitted to himself after that, that it was stupid, but nevertheless continued. It paid off.
As James was telling a witty joke to himself, regarding the Giant Squid in the lake, giggles could be heard from behind. James spun around eagerly; they sounded like Lily's laugh. He was wrong, but who cared? The laughter belonged to Elena, who was shaking slightly with laughter. James smiled.
"You've brought laughter to my day." Elena said simply and poetically, and then waved and walked off.
Sitting on a tree stump not so far away, was Sirius Black, typically eavesdropping on the whole thing. He wondered how James could get one of the most sought-after girls just by telling a joke. It wasn't fair. Elena was meant to be his, as any other girl he wanted was. The next one just happened to be Lily Evans…ah… revenge is sweet.
Author's Note
Yes, it is a short chapter. All my chapters are short, really. That's because if I continued on with the chapter it would be too long, so I split them up into two, shorter, chapters.
Sorry to keep you waiting for so long, we couldn't upload chapters and that was seriously bugging me. The good news is, during that period of time I wrote 2 more chapters (including this one)!
