Summary: James and Lily are best friends. How can they not be? They are destined for each other, right? Wrong. Well, that's what Lily thinks. James has been in love with her since, well, forever. She's positive that it's never going to be. But James is determined to change that…

Chapter Two: The Unexpected Encounter
Previously…
"You perverted jerk…GET OUT!" I yelled as I pushed Sirius out the door. Remus was already out at 'let me change'.
After I kicked Sirius out, I turned to James.
"Well?"
"Oh right" James quickly scrambled towards the door.
I just shook my head and scoffed. God, their really annoying…
This is only the beginning to my...wonderful summer…
After Lily finished getting dressed, she went downstairs to find Sirius, James, and Remus practically in her fridge.
"Because of you three, I'm going to go broke," Lily said.
The three heads popped out and they each had something in their mouths. But as they saw Lily, their mouths were open so wide that the food fell from their mouths. (A/N: Hehe…I know…pretty cheesy. Just go with it…)
Lily had on Daisy Duke Shorts (it was a hot day okay?) and a yellow halter top. Her hair was up in a messy bun and to tell the truth, she looked pretty hot.
Lily scoffed at the three boys and walked towards the refrigerator. She leaned over them and reached for the orange juice. As she took the carton out, she took her free hand and closed each of their mouths. (A/N: Haha, Theresa, I would so put the scene where they run to the bathroom. But…it's like stealing…lol)
James was the first to recover. "Whoa, Lily, you clean up nice," he said. Lily rolled her eyes as she grabbed a glass from the cabinet and poured the orange juice.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you," Lily said. James smirked.
"So, Lily, where's the Mr. and Mrs.?" Sirius said as he leaned against the counter with a turkey sandwich hanging from his mouth.
"They left before I even returned home from Hogwarts. They went to Barbados with Petunia." Lily said.
"They went without you?" Remus said as his head finally emerged from the fridge. Lily shrugged.
"Yea, they do it every year." Lily said. Lily showed no emotion but inside she was crying a thousand tears. Her family wasn't the kind of family that people like James had. Ever since her letter from Hogwarts arrived, her family has been treating her differently. Petunia, of course, thought Lily as a know-it-all and a freak. Her parents thought of her as a disgrace to the Evans family.
James stared at Lily as she gulped down the remaining of her orange juice. He has sympathy in his eyes and Lily saw it when she looked at him.
"James, really, it's fine" she said as she placed the glass in the sink. "I'm used to it"
James looked down to hide his sadness for Lily and thought about how horrible her family really was.
"So," Lily said to break the ice, "What do you guys have planned for today?"
"Well Lilykins," Sirius said, "We came here to see if you wanted to come back to James' house for a little dip in his humungo pool!" Lily laughed and said,
"Okay, but lets walk to the park first. It's a really nice day."
"Okay" James said. "But that requires for us to…stop…eating…" He looked down at the food that was in his hands.
"Haha, you'll get over it" Lily said as she put all the food on the table. She grabbed his hands and led him to the door with Remus close behind. Sirius stuffed the remaining of his sandwich into his mouth and ran after the group.
"It really is a beautiful day today isn't it" Lily said. Her arm was looped with James' and her head was resting against his shoulder. All the while, James was blushing and Remus and Sirius were behind them smirking at how tense James looked.
"Yea (ha) a (ha) beautiful (ha) day (ha)" Sirius managed to say. Lily let go of James (yes he was disappointed hehe) and turned around to glare at Sirius.
"What's so funny?" she said coldly.
"Nothing" Remus said as he immediately stopped laughing and nudged Sirius. But he continued to laugh as he didn't get the hint. Lily stopped walking and turned fully towards Sirius. She picked up her hand and
WHACK!
"Owwww! Lily! What was that for?" Sirius yelled as he rubbed his cheek with the new hand print on it.
"For being an INSENSITIVE PRICK!" Lily said before storming away towards the park that was now right in front of them. James shook his head at Sirius and followed Lily. Remus was giving Sirius a look that seemed to say you idiot.
"What?" Sirius said as he looked up at Remus. Remus just smirked and followed James and Lily.
James caught up to Lily and grabbed her arm. She spun around and looked into James' hazel eyes. They were so full of concern, so full of…
What Lily saw was quickly replaced with curiosity, as he was staring at something behind her. Lily turned around and whispered,
"Oh no…"
"Lily, no time no see," said the boy as he neared the two. By this time, Sirius and Remus were behind James and Lily and they were curious to find out who this boy was, as was James.
The boy had dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. He was very handsome and about the same height as James. He wore a blue and white plaid, button-down shirt and jeans. Huh, James thought, prep.
"Eric," Lily said through clenched teeth. (A/N: Sound familiar Theresa and Lizzie?) Eric is Lily's ex-boyfriend. They were almost the most perfect couple (Note how I say 'almost'…they can't be perfect because James and Lily are…duh!) and everything between them were going great. But Eric decided to go on and kiss the neighborhood slut, Casey Bloomer. Oh, she was bloomed alright. Everything about her was…well…developed. Eric's pathetic excuse was that he thought they had "broken up". Lily hasn't spoken to him since. "What are you doing here?"
"What, I can't take a stroll through the town park anymore?" Eric grinned but it was soon wiped off his face after he saw James, who was still holding Lily's arm. "Aren't you going to introduce me, Lily?" Eric said as he nodded towards James.
"This is James, my," Lily stopped for a moment and then said, "My boyfriend." There was a sharp intake of air heard from behind Lily and then sudden coughs. Sirius had gasped too fast and started to cough excessively.
"E-excuse me?" Eric said, obviously surprised.
"You heard me, my boyfriend" Lily then took her hand and entwined it with James'. James was speechless and was now staring at Lily like she had just grown another head.
"Why, the little Lily Evans has found herself a boyfriend. For some strange reason, I don't believe you," Eric said as he crossed his arms in front of his chest,
Lily began to turn as red as her hair, not from embarrassment, but from anger. How DARE he say that! He doesn't know her, not anymore! Without thinking, Lily took her hand from James' grasp and put both of her hands onto his face. She kissed James hard and long and when Lily was satisfied, she broke away from James. She turned to Eric and smirked then she walked away. But before she stormed off, she showed Eric the finger that would make Minerva McGonagall faint.
To James, that kiss was the best moment of his life. To Lily, it was just getting her ex-boyfriend back for his rude remark. Soon, he snapped out of his trance and followed Lily, who was heading back towards her house. But before he did that, he had to drag Sirius and Remus with him who was staring at the spot where Lily had just kissed James.
"Um," James started, "What was that? Not that I was complaining or anything…"
Lily rolled her eyes and told the three boys who Eric was. And they were shocked…to say the least…
"WHAT?" James shouted. "Lily, you had a boyfriend before?"
"What, do you guys think I'm prude?" Lily asked. From their expressions, Lily could tell that the answer was…yes…
"We're sorry, Lily. It's just that…" James was at a loss of words.
"Uh huh…whatever…" Lily said as she stormed off towards her house. James looked at the others and they all just shrugged.
"Hey, James, you think that," Sirius began to fidget in his spot, "That it's that time of…month…"
James stood there with a confused look on his face when finally, realization dawned to him.
"No…" he said as he turned to look at Sirius. Sirius just continued to stare at him. "No!" James yelled once more and then he went to follow Lily.
A/N: Short…I know…boring…I know…Review please. I need a lot of suggestions. So feel free. Anyways, I just want to let people know (mainly Theresa and Lizzie) that Lily isn't based on me or anything. I just added Eric in there because he was getting on my nerves about something and I needed to get back at him. I know, a pretty lame way, but it got him pretty pissed off when he saw it! Hehe…
