Lily Evans was viewed to most as the perfect girl. Teacher's pet, brightest witch of her age, beautiful, loved by all, and all the boys were after her yet she was only starting her fifth year. But no one knows her real story. Her sister's hated her since the start, she has to choose between friends of different backgrounds, and her father left them after he found some young, gorgeous muggle woman to run away with. And James Potter. She has to deal with that slick git on a daily basis. He teases her, pulls at her hair, and bullies Lily's friends with Sirius Black at his side. She finds herself falling for him. But this can't be. She can't love someone like him. Can she?
