"Guys night today?"
"Sure, Padfoot"
"Moony?"
"Sounds good"
So, when 11 pm rolled around, we all sat in my room with a bottle of Whiskey.
"How's Ciara doing, Prongs?"
"Fine" I shrugged "Same as always"
"Cool," he says, not really caring. "Anyone know what's up with Lily?" Remus inquired
"What do you mean?" Sirius asked
"Well, I dunno if this is all just a coincidence, but Lily's been super withdrawn lately, and today she agreed to go on a date with Janda"
"Janda? Shane Janda? Why would she wanna go out with that prick?" I suddenly felt like punching something, which was entirely unfair. I was dating someone else, and she's never been bound to me.
"He's not a prick" Sirius side eyed me "And yeah, I asked Fliss about Lily earlier. She just looked at me like I was an idiot for not already knowing what's up. How am I bloody supposed to know? I asked her, and she pretended she had an essay to write."
"Yeah, he's definitely not an ass, but I still find it weird that Lily agreed to go out with Shane when first, she doesn't even know him that well, and I thought—" Remus abruptly cut off when Sirius made slashing movements
"What?" I asked, not missing the look Sirius gave Remus. Irritation stirring in me, I say, "forgot I had an essay to write, Pads. I'll see you guys tomorrow. Night"
I went to my room and beat the living hell out of my punching bag, which I had installed for these purposes, for 45 minutes.
I noticed Lily was acting weird too. I thought it was something trivial or stupid, like a bad grade. She's been jumpy with me, we haven't spent time together since I started going out with Ciara. Yeah, we've talked in lessons, but I haven't talked to her properly for about a month now.
I guess she's been withdrawn because she was nervous about Shane.
Goddammit, I don't want her to go out with him. I kicked the wall.
Well, that was a shitty idea.
