A/N: 28 Reviews! Love you guys!

Something was wrong with Mel. She wasn't eating the usual five plates of food at breakfast, she wasn't volunteering in class, she wasn't shouting at the younger students to shut up when they got too noisy, she wasn't even talking to her two best friends in the whole entire world. Yet another problem Lily had to deal with.

Lily already had to study for the N.E.W.T.'s, do all the homework her teachers were throwing at her, do all her Head Girl duties, make sure Charlie and Sirius don't go within a 20 foot radius of one another, and figure out if she finally had feelings for James. Yeah, Lily had a lot on her plate.

But now she had to figure out what was going on with her stupid best friend Mel because if she didn't, something bad was going to happen.

"Mel, if I ever find out what is wrong with you I'm going to kill you," Lily said to herself. She noticed she was talking to herself more than usual lately and it kind of scared her.

Lily was lying in bed doing her homework. Well, not really doing homework. It was more like staring at her books while she thought about Mel. It's bad when something distracts Lily from her homework.

"Who cares about euphemisms?" an annoyed Katie asked Lily as she barged into the dormitory. Katie was one of Lily's roommates. They weren't the best friends, but they were still friends and Katie often came to Lily when she was annoyed. "When in life are you ever going to need to know fifty euphemisms!"

"Erm…" Lily said unsure of what the strange brunette was talking about.

"I hate McGonagall. I hate Chris Guanabana. But I really hate euphemisms." Katie said.

"Ohhhh!" Lily said finally understanding what her roommate was going on about. "It's that punishment thing right? Is Chris your partner?"

"Yes! I can't believe McGonagall forced me to work with him. And do you know what our assignment is?" Not waiting for a response, Katie continued with her rant, "Give fifty examples of the word we're assigned every week. What's up with that! Arggh! I hate euphemisms. I had to actually look up the stupid word! Do you know how sad it is when I have to look up a word?"

But Lily never found out how sad it was because just then Mel had walked into their dormitory.

"Oh, sorry," Mel said to the two girls. "I didn't realize someone would be here. You guys are usually still in the common room."

"We're just doing homework," Katie said calmly as if she wasn't just screaming about euphemisms one minute ago.

"You're welcome to join us if you want," Lily said kindly, hoping she'll finally find out what was wrong with Mel.

"No, that's okay, I'll just go somewhere else," Mel said and with that, she left.

"I wonder why she doesn't want to hang out with us," Katie said to Lily after Mel had left.

"Yeah, me too," Lily said concerned. She had half a mind to run out the door and yell "Mel what's the matter with you!" but she didn't. Instead, she listened to Katie yell about euphemisms. By the end of the night, all Lily accomplished was starting a feeling of hatred towards euphemisms.

It was Monday morning and Lily felt refreshed. Perhaps it was because she had a feeling she would finally find out what's up with Mel. Or maybe it was because she had to tell the story of her life with James later on that day. Or it was because she had spoken James himself and whenever she talked to him she felt elated and happy.

Ignoring the last reason to her happiness, Lily made her way to her first class, charms. This was another good thing about her morning; Lily loved charms.

Lily was going to sit in her usual seat (in the front row next to Charlie and Mel) when she realized that her seat was already occupied by no other than James Potter. Luckily, Lily was in a good mood, so she didn't let it bug her.

She searched the room for her friends, who left breakfast earlier than she did, and was surprised to see that they were on completely different sides of the room glaring at each other. Confused, Lily started walking towards Charlie.

"What's going on between you and Mel," Lily asked.

"She is so annoying! I just asked her why she was being so distant from us and she started yelling at me to mind my own business," Charlie said angrily. "It wasn't like I was attacking her or anything. I just wanted to know what's wrong."

Lily was about to say something to try to cheer Charlie up when Professor Flitwick walked into the classroom.

Lily should have known that not being able to sit with both her friends in their usual spot was sign that her day was not going to be as good as she thought it would, but alas she did not read the signs correctly.

At lunch, Lily talked to James once again. It was a very short conversation, but it left Lily very embarrassed. She had made a complete fool of herself in front of him.

"Hey Lily," James said sliding in next to her.

"Hey James," she responded blushing slightly. Wait, why was she blushing? There was absolutely no point of blushing in front of him. The thought of her blushing made Lily blush even harder.

"What's up," James asked casually, not noticing that Lily was red.

"Charlie and Mel are mad at each other. I honestly don't blame Charlie though. Mel has been acting very strange lately," Lily said.

"I thought something strange was going on with her. She's been avoiding Remus for the past few weeks. And you know that they've been good friends for a while."

"Hmmm. That's strange," Lily said. Because she was thinking about what could be wrong with Mel, she wasn't paying attention to what she was doing. This resulted in her placing her elbow in her porridge.

"Eww!" she screamed when she realized what she did. James started laughing and handed Lily a napkin. "Thanks," she managed to whisper. After she cleaned her elbow, she quickly got up and left. She didn't want to have to deal with James.

She wanted all her troubles to go away. She wanted to know what was up with Mel and for her and Charlie to be friends again. She wanted for there not to be any N.E.W.T.'s. But most of all, she wanted her stomach to stop doing back flips and her heart to stop pounding whenever she was around James.

How can she possibly like James Potter of all people? She had always ignored his stupid charm and it worked. But after all her hard work of ignoring him for six years, could it be that Lily Evans was falling for him? No. She didn't like him. She couldn't like him.

"Hey Charlie, can I talk to you for a sec?" Lily asked awkwardly.

"Course Lils. I'm always here for you," Charlie said wondering why Lily was acting so strange.

"You have to promise that you won't tell a single soul what I'm about to tell you," Lily said threateningly. "Especially not the marauders."

"I promise," Charlie said eagerly.

"Okay," she started. "I can't believe that I'm saying this but I think that I might… I think I-I. I think I have a crush on James."

A/N: Gasp! Lily likes James? The world is coming to an end! So yeah no story, no Sirius, no Remus, no Mel, barely any Charlie, no Tori, basically no anything. But I had to write this because obviously it is important. I have a question for you guys!

Do you want me to continue after the last story James and Lily tell?

xxProngsxxPadfootxx- sorry Sarah about that whole Sirius thing but don't worry he'll be in the next chapter. Don't you just love it when James is sweet? I know I do. lol

La gangsta de leafy hood/AYA- WOOT! No typos. Haha about time…

PoE-dA-hOe- it lasts eight weeks. That way there's enough time for a story about every year and an extra one for the other first year story.

.'.-xoxProngsxox-.'.- I hate track too, I can't run for my life. No I don't have msn, I have aim. I do have an email address though if you'd like that

chanika superdog- how did you guess that was what's wrong with Mel? (sarcasm) chapter 4 is my favorite chapter so far too

Nandini- thanx! I hope you liked this chapter

Xxhploverxx- Tori's cool so I had to give her some action. I love James. I really do. You're cool too for reviewing and liking my story!

LoneFlyinTigers- about time you read it! Lol. I agree completely that Sheri and 'Ankles' are like Charlie and Sirius hehe.

A/N #2- anyone wanna guess what a euphemism is (without using a dictionary)?
