More than a Friend

She walked up to me, leaving Potter with his friend group. I waved at her unenthusiastically as she waved at me. Her eyes were beaming with excited. I could see it. I could feel it.

" So, Lil, Congratulations" I said turning away from her.

" It's nothing like you think."

" Come on. I saw you two laughing together. When is the date? May be I can help you with your hair" I asked half-heartedly.

"No, date. I did not say okay for any date.  He is just fun to talk with. You know? May be I shouldn't be so cold to him"

" Yeah, I see a enemies to Lovers plot here" I said sarcastically.

" Y/n, stop it. What is your problem?" She looked at me.

" Well, you hated him until yesterday, and suddenly today he is fun to talk with, uh?" I started to vent.

" Yeah. And What is wrong with that?"

" I don't- He is annoying, Lily! How can you like him?"

" I don't like him. I am just being nice to him."she crossed her arms.

we were low-key yelling at this point. A few Gryffindors were looking at us.

" And SO WHAT if I like him? Why do you care? You are being unreasonable!" She added.

" I have got to go. Tell Professor Slughorn that I am sick. I am bunking the class today." I stood up.

"You are bunking the class?" Lily's eyes widened. " Where you going?"

" Nowhere Lily. I - I want... I will talk to you later" I said and walked back to my dorm, in the Gryffindor Tower. If I stay there any longer, I won't be able to hold back these tears anymore. The entire common room was empty, since everyone was enjoying their breakfast at the Great Hall. I let myself sink into my bed. Tears started to stream down my eyes uncontrollably.

I do not think of Lily as just a friend. No. She is more to me. So much more. She is everything to me. And the Potter is stealing her away from me. I felt anger rage up in my mind. I could beat him up. But, I couldn't stand up. I couldn't lift myself up. I felt like I have lost all the motivation. I like her. I like Lily Evans. I mumbled to myself and sobbed loudly into my pillow.
