"Peter! Wormtail!"
The person to whom the names belonged to, turned around and came face to the person who had called him; James. Peter's heart thumped quickly against his chest, he was getting panicky. He quickly spun around, looking for Remus, wondering what he should do.
"Don't talk to them," had been Remus' words to him only minutes before.
Peter walked backwards, bumping into several people along the way, looking at James fearfully.
"What's your problem?" James said, taking a mere three steps forward to catch up with him. He knew he was afraid of a lot of things, but…him? Flashbacks of the past two weeks at school came into his head, and he suddenly remembered; Peter and Remus were ignoring him…how could he have forgotten?!
"I-I…" Peter said pathetically, before turning around and camouflaging himself in the waves of students.
James sulked, and shook off a couple of girls trailing him, and walked outside to the grounds.
By now, Lily Evans and Elena had most certainly met, since both of them had experienced James crushing on them and all. They didn't hate each other. They didn't like each other, either. They were more like… acquaintances. They would say Hi to each other in the halls, but they never actually spent time together, which made Kaniya feel a bit…
"Curious! I'm just curious!" Kaniya defended herself, after Lily had snapped at her.
"I told you once, I told you twice, Elena and I just aren't…compatible." Lily said, rolling her eyes.
"That's what you said about James yesterday." Kaniya smirked.
Lily didn't speak. She made her way up to her dorm, and plopped down on the bed. Lily knew that she had said, "Her and James weren't compatible." and she also knew why she said it. Well, half knew. Lately she was so confused, not knowing what, or even how to think.
She had hated James since the day she met him, when greeted with a modest –or so she thought- wave, and a not-so-modest wink.
But ever since the start of the seventh year, she realized he liked her not only for her beauty…but because he actually cared about her, more than anyone else, besides his friends, maybe.
He was maturing, she thought, and was beginning to grow out of his childish days, when he would compliment her with meaningless words, and attempt to trap her in broom closets.
A spongy bounce interrupted Lily's memories, as Kaniya jumped like a childish 5-year-old on her bed. God, and she thought James was childish.
"Don't – jump – on – the – J… " Lily panted irritatedly in between words. After the "J" sound, she nearly added an "Ames", but instead breathed heavily, unable to move the cogs in her brain, unable to think of the simple word, "bed".
This caused Kaniya to fall on the bed in mid-jump, rolling over with laughter.
"Damn, Lils, you're certainly preoccupied with someone." She said, causing Lily to frown and push her off the bed.
How childish.
Author's Note
The whole "J…" instead of "bed" is an inside joke. Must I explain it? Too bad, I will, because I feel like it. I was just recently at a friend's sleepover and we were getting ready to play "King of the Hill" on the computer/TV which was in front of the mattresses on the floor. Her little sister and my little brother jumped crazily on the bed, and she panted, "Don't. Jump. On. The. H-…" just as Lily did. Although, instead of almost saying "James" she nearly said "Hill". This caused me to laugh out loud for 5 minutes straight. A bit odd, yes, but you had to be there… dies of laughter
Oh yes, and I almost forgot…due to several reviews (some posted on the net, some told to me personally) I have decided to make my chapters longer and more detailed…
Also, people are also doubting whether I will ever finish the story or not. Yes, I will, don't you worry… not anytime soon though…minimum 3 chapters from now…Why? You want it to end sooner, do you?
