James POVOk, before anyone accuses me of being a total pervert, and a womanizer, I did not deserve everything that Lily Evans said about me.
Karsten's lips seemed to touch mine at the very minute the door was thrust open. I saw Lily's red hair out of the corner of my eye and tried to drag myself away from Karsten, but she had an iron grip on my shoulders.
"Kars – " Her jaw literally dropped. She stared at the two of us for what felt like ten minutes (by this time, Karsten had stopped kissing me, of course,). "Oh,"
"Lil," I got up and was about to explain when Lily lunged at me.
"YOU NO GOOD, SICK, PERVERTED LOSER!" I was so surprised at her outburst that I jumped backwards. "I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF KARSTEN LIKE THAT! JAMES POTTER, I ACTUALLY THOUGHT I COULD DEPEND ON YOU FOR ONE SECOND! I THOUGHT YOU WERE A RESPECTABLE HUMAN BEING. I THOUGHT YOU CARED." She stormed over to Karsten, who also looked shellshocked, and yanked her away from me. With one more dirty look, she marched out and left me standing in the dark classroom.
I slowly made my way back to the Common Room where Sirius was looked worriedly at the stairs. "Did you –"
"Don't start. Karsten…"
"I kind of figured," he said, somehow knowing what I was going to say. "Lily was screaming about you when she walked in here."
"Ah," I winced. "Suppose she'll get over this?"
"And realize it was all Karsten? Not anytime soon, mate," he slapped my back and padded up the stairs to our dorm. I sighed.
Lily Evans was mad, and when she got mad, she got really mad.
Lily Pov:James Potter is, was, and will always be a desbicable jerk.
Lil
Stop it.
K
Why should I? He took advantage of you, Karsten. By the way, what were you so upset about?
L
It was nothing. And he didn't take advantage of me.
K
WHAT? You mean you kissed him?
L
Well, no, but I did ask him out last night.
K
I stared at the piece of parchment in disgust and surprise. I glanced at Karsten who twirled her perfect curly hair idly and smiled at James. He smiled back, but quickly looked at Sirius.
"And he said yes?" I hissed.
She looked annoyed. "Duh, he did."
"Karsten, how can you expect me to be your friend?" I had considered giving her this speech before, but I couldn't stand her any longer.
"Um, I dunno," she doodled.
"Well, I'm sick of it. You're a bitch to everything and everyone, and you expect me and Molls to forgive you for whatever shit you say to us when you have PMS, or whatever your blaming your fits on."
She just looked at me.
"And also, James? You always had a thing for Remus. Look at him!" I gestured to a very unhappy looking Remus who sat in the corner, twirling his want in his hand. "Anyway, you and Molly know that James is –"
"James is what?" she stood up angrily, smacking the table. Good thing the class hadn't started yet. "James is yours?" I cursed myself silently as James and Sirius looked at us. "Excuse me, Lily Evans, but James is not yours. Infact, even though you've liked him for the past who-knows-who-cares years, doesn't mean he likes you back! Remember, you say everyday that you hate him! He is not on any account, yours." She finally finished, and stormed out of the classroom.
I turned away from James and Sirius, who had no doubt been catching snippets of our conversation , and scratched the back of my neck nervously.
I wondered if James had heard her. I bit my nail and felt nauseous. So far, my entire sixth year had been one disaster (Karsten) after another (Karsten and James).
My thoughts peeked at "what if he's only nice to me because of Karsten", and ran from the room, positive I was going to be sick.
Karsten POV"Goodfornothingbitch,Ihateher,sheshouldjustgodie!" I spit into the night air as I paced in the forest. I was pissed. No, I was beyond pissed. So pissed, infact, that I was relieved when Reidan showed up.
"Hello," he said quietly. "I take it you started?"
"Yeah," I breathed. "I don't care anymore. You can do whatever the fuck you like with Lily Evans. She's dead to me."
"Good," I could hear the smile in his voice more than see it. "Glad to hear it. I have some, shall we say, marvelous things planned for her."
James POV:
"Did you just –"
"Yeah."
"Did she just –"
"Yeah,"
"Are you sure that –"
"Yeah."
"But what if –"
"Yeah," Sirius rolled his eyes at Remus, who had evidently been standing near the girls as they had had they're argument. I sat next to Padfoot, yawning, wondering what Karsten had been saying. I had caught my name several times, probably Karsten defending me. I could only hope.
"I wonder why Lily ran out of the room like that…" Peter looked at the door as if Lily was running out of it now. And then sort of dreamily, "I wonder where Karsten went,"
My instincts told me to slap him, but I didn't. "You go ahead and have fantasies about her, Wormtail, I have no feelings for her."
Padfoot widenend his eyes at me. "Jeez, Prongs. Sort of blunt of you just to come out and say that, yeah? Usually you deny that you have no feelings for the girl until you dump her, or whatever."
"Well, what can I say? I don't care if every guy in school is after her. I have my emotions set aside."
"For who? Lily?" I rolled my eyes at Remus's blunt comment.
"What the hell do you think? Why would I like Evans?"
"Because you talk about her in your sleep." Sirius grinned.
With that I smacked him, got up, and left the room in search of Evans.
Lily POV:
"Stay calm, stay calm," Molly rubbed my back and I steadied my breathing. "He didn't hear what you guys were saying. I was closer then them, I could barely make it out. Good thing when Karsten gets mad she hisses, not yells,"
"Seriously, " I swallowed and leaned over a sink in the bathroom. "If he heard, I'd die, Molly, die."
"Lils, it's ok," A soft knock was on the girl's bathroom door. I nodded at Molly to go see who it was.
James stood outside, one hand casually in his pocket. "Lily?" He peered around Molly. "are you ok?"
"Why the hell should you care?" I marched up to him. "Why don't you go molest some second year?"
He looked mad. "Stop it! I didn't do anything wrong, Lily. She kissed me, and blamed it on me. She asked me out, I said yes because…"
"Because?" I glared at him.
"Because…I felt sorry for her, alright?"
"You felt sorry for her? PLEASE. Every boy in this school wants her in their bed. SCREW YOU, PERVERT!" I slammed the door in his face, collapsed on the floor, and sobbed.
