I felt like everyone could hear my breathing. I was so loud! It was so tempting to turn around and look at Ana, but that would ruin the whole plan.
"Oh, thank you for finding this book for me, James!" Ana's voice sounded wooden. I should have picked a better actor for the job.
"That's okay." James replied in his cheerful, deep tones. I sighed and nearly gave my position away. "I'd better be going now."
Aah! The voice in my head screamed. Don't let him go Ana!
"Um, wait a second!" Ana cried, "I need some advice!"
"Me? You want my advice?" James sounded shocked.
"Yeah. You see, I have this friend. And she really likes this guy. But she doesn't know if the guy likes her. So…what do you think she should do to check?"
There was a loooooooong pause. "Why are you asking me?" James asked in confusion.
"Just…because." Ana replied. I rolled my eyes.
"Woah!" James suddenly backed away, "This girl…it isn't me she fancies is it?"
Shit! The voice in my head swore.
"No." Ana replied. I knew that whenever Ana lied, her face went bright red. The plan was finished.
"Sure (!)" James replied, "Well in that case…I don't have a clue!"
---------
I hit her with a pillow.
"Hey!" Ana protested, "It wasn't my fault!"
I paused in mid pillow-strike. "Hey!" I cried, "This could work!"
"Huh?" Ana rubbed her head in confusion.
"James is curious." I stated, "So he'll try and find out who it is that you're friends with. He'll find out that it's me, and he'll tell me if he likes me…or not."
"So, I did well after all?" Ana pointed out.
Hannah walked in and saw my pillow hovering above Ana's head.
"Hey!" she shouted, "Pillow fight!"

Sorry, but I'm going to have to change back to 3rd person POV again!
"Why do you want to know?" Sirius asked.
"Just tell me!" James answered impatiently.
"Well…I don't really know", Sirius admitted, "But I think she's pretty good friends with Rhianna."
"Shit!" James swore, "Not her again! I didn't even ask her out the first time, she misinterpreted it!"
Sirius laughed. "Shame, mate!"
--------
I was chatting to Ana at breakfast, when James walked up. I squeaked.
"Help." I whispered.
"Hi Ana!" James greeted. I must admit, I was a bit disappointed. Since when did James start talking to Ana?
"It's about that advice thing yesterday." he explained, "Well, I found out who your friend was, and can you tell her kindly that I don't like her in that way. Actually, I don't like her at all!"
I gasped and ran out of the hall before tears flew.
"Hey Li…" James stared after me, "What the hell?"
"You didn't have to put so bluntly!" Ana snapped. She slapped James across the face (hard), and ran after me, leaving James staring after us, his hand on his sore cheek.
Dun, dun DUN! Thanks to everyone who has reviewed! I loved every review. There are more chapters coming!
