A Secret Inside
A/N: Now, all the girls that James dates don't have to be evil, do they? In this story she's not, Lily just doesn't like her. Peter's not going to be evil either, because I don't think he always was, so I'm not going to give him a hard time. Now.... WOW! I'm SO happy! Only 2 chapters and already 50 reviews! I can NOT believe it! THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!!! Now I'm afraid I'm going to let everyone down. Please keep reviewing so I know I'm doing good (or bad). I don't think I can write long chapters, so I'm sorry if it's so short!

Chapter Three
There were many times when Gina would leave the Ravenclaw table and walk over to the Gryffindors and eat with them. Gina was what Lily considered the perfect girl, she looked like a supermodel and she was very friendly to everyone. Everyone, with the exception of the Slytherins and Lily herself, loved her. Lily was jealous. Gina was walking over to the table slowly, batting her sapphire blue eyes and swinging her long blonde hair. Slipping her arms around James and placing a kiss on his cheek, she took a seat in front of Lily.
"So how is everyone?" She asked looking everywhere, but in front of her to Lily. After what seemed like forever, she faced the red haired girl. "I hear you've been sick. I do hope you get better soon." She smiled.
Lily picked up a chicken leg and glared at the girl. "I'm fine. Don't tell me I have to go to the hospital wing." She told her coldly. Gina looked shocked, but then her face returned to normal.
"Lily, I didn't say that. I'm glad you feel well though." Gina smiled. Lily gave a fake smile that looked realistic back to her, but didn't say anything else. Instead, she picked up a roll and stuffed her mouth. The couple was talking about an upcoming dance on Halloween and what they were going to go as, when Lily got bored. She turned beside her and stared at Peter.
It seemed like forever until he realized that she was there. He was enthralled in a book. "Yes, Lily? Can I help you with something?" He asked her, suddenly self-conscious.
"I'm bored, Peter and they're putting me to sleep." She whinned. James, over hearing what Lily said, blushed. "Besides," She paused to flatten out her robe on her lap, "we never talk."
"Sorry we're so boring, Lils." James laughed. Peter took this as a he-could-go-back-to-his-story message and returned to reading. "Hey, where's Remus and Sirius?"
"And you're just now realizing their not here? I've known the girls haven't been here since I came in!" Lily stated.
James rolled his eyes. "And you're just now realizing their not here?" He mocked in a false falsetto voice.
Lily sighed. "You are such a baby, James."
"You are such a baby, Lily." He laughed. Suddenly, as if he just thought of something important, his face got serious. "Lils, I need to talk to you. Alone." Rolling her eyes at his sudden seriousness and nodding, she stood up. The two walked out of the great hall together and she took a seat on the stairs. "I have to tell you something. And I didn't know who else to tell, but I wanted to tell someone." He started babbling.
She stared at him and nodded like she understood, when really, she wasn't listening. Se was thinking about what he could possibly want to tell her so badly. 'Maybe this is the time I should tell him.' She thought, her hand going unconsciously over her stomach.
"Well, see, Lils," He started, then he noticed she was holding her stomach. "Are you sick, again? Why are you always suddenly sick?" He asked her. It was obvious that what he wanted to say was hard by the way he kept changing the subject.
Her face turned a pink shade. "I'm fine." She snapped at him. All of a sudden, her patience was wearing thin with him. Then, in a mood change, she sweetly asked. "What did you want to tell me?"
He looked at her with a weird expression, before shaking it off. "I think Gina could be the one." He gave a sideways smile. His brown eyes were looking right at Lily, but it didn't look like they were looking at her. 'Ok, maybe it's not.' She thought. Lily could feel tears welling up inside of her, but refused to let them out. "I think I love her." He continued; not knowing what Lily was feeling. "I want to get married and I want," He paused for a second before finishing. "I want her to have my baby." He smiled.
That was too much for Lily to handle. She quickly stood from her spot and slapped the boy in front of her. She just wanted to die right there or at least run back to her common room and cry. Instead, she stood there, thinking of something to say. 'You can't have a baby! You don't know anything about it!' She screamed at him inside her mind. "You'll never be ready for a baby!" She yelled at him before running back to the common room, leaving a shocked James standing alone.
Lily buried her face into her fluffy pillow. The question that kept going over in her mind now wasn't how she should tell him, or even when, but if. And right then, she had no intentions to anytime soon.
