Lily stomped her feet angrily as she walked down the aisle. "Not in love with that toerag." she muttered to herself "Don't even like him." she repeated. Now where was she supposed to go though? She couldn't just walk right back in there. Especially not when she had said that. How could Alice think that though? Alice knew she hated James and his little bunch of brats that followed him around. Alice knows she likes someone else! how could Alice, of all people, think she loved James Potter? Ugh! To even think about him! He was arrogant, annoying, and a prat all around! And to think she loved him, never! She would never! Never in a million years, and then after that, she'd die before liking him. Lily's anger bubbled and boiled inside her, making her more and more angry as she stomped around.
"Evans!" A soft, kind voice interrupted her train of thought. Her heart skipped a little beat when she turned around to see him there. Oliver Wilkins. That boy was hotter than a sidewalk in July. He had curly golden hair, and beautiful hazel eyes. Hazel was her favorite eye color. Especially on him, his eyes were rounded and big, and his face seemed perfectly soft. He had perfect features. Now this boy, she would be okay with loving. She didn't, but she could most definitely live with it if she did. She smiled and greeted him with a friendly hug.
"Hey Oliver! I haven't seen you all summer!" She smiled, and some of her anger left, just like that.
"Yeah! I've been too busy to write to anyone." There, that was his flaw. And Lily knew it. Oliver was always too busy for anyone but his girlfriend. Always. He never had time to do anything for you unless he was getting something in return, but man. He was hot.
"Oh, yeah! I know right? I've been so busy with all this Head Girl stuff I almost forgot my left from my right!" She laughed. He laughed. Then it was silent. For a minute, it was nice to be silent.
"Hey, what I came to ask was..." He began "You're the Head Girl now, and James Potter is the Head Boy, right?"
"Oh.. yeah." Lily's smile slightly faded. Silence again.
"You think you could talk him into inviting me to one of his sick parties this year?" he asks.
"Of course!" Lily said disappointedly, and her face showed it. She forced a smile back on, but her eyes were watering up. Obviously he didn't understand she was hurt because he just smiled back at her.
"Thanks Evans!" He turned and that was it. Lily's smile dropped and she cleared her throat. Wiping her eyes with her hand, she was quickly reminded that she had a meeting in the prefects car in less than twenty minutes. She walked to the bathrooms and pushed the door open. She turned to look in the mirror. Great. Now there was makeup on one cheek. She wet a paper towel and wiped it gently across her cheek until the black line of makeup had gone away. By the time she had gotten it off, her eyes had dried up, and you couldn't tell she had been crying in the first place. She tossed the paper towel in the garbage can and caught a glance of herself in the full length mirror. She had worn her favorite outfit today. Her brownish-tan boots over her lightest skinny jeans with her favorite green sweater. She had looked really pretty too. She had fixed her hair so it was in large curls over her shoulders, and her makeup was done just right to bring out her emerald green eyes. She really liked the way she looked, and she was kind of hoping to impress some people with it. She fluffed her curls and put on her best smile before walking out of the bathroom and straight down the hall to the prefects car. She was determined to look confident, and make her first impression a good one. She continued walking until she got to the car. She stopped right outside, and took a deep breath in. "This year will be perfect." She promised to herself and rested her hand on the door handle.
