hopelessly hopeful
LILITH MARIE EVANS
Lily Evans
head girl

❝she was a beautiful dreamer. the kind of girl who kept her head in the clouds, loved above the
S T A R S and left regret beneath the EARTH she walked on.❞

okbenjy:

         you got me , lils .  i’m not doing that snazzy , but tell me more
                     fun facts ,  might help DISTRACT MY MIND 

image

❝how about you tell me what’s going on instead. you could use a friend.❞

image



okbenjy:

image

          it’s fine ,  i’m fine —-
                            i’m doing FINE

❝fun fact, usually when people say they’re FINE they’re usually not fine at all.❞

a hand came up to scratch the side of his chin.  benjy knew lily was right but he couldn’t say the same thing for his counterpart.  all he knew was his own feelings and that the other lion had his heart.    oh bloody hell.  it’s that noticeable?     his voice came out shocked ,  his eye’s darting around the room making sure no one could hear his confession.  the same curve on his lips , though he tried to remain cool and not completely SMITTEN.    “ oh hush ,  there’s no wedding.  lets make it through this war first , then we’ll talk about you being my DJ.  

image

lily shook her head, an amused smile settling onto her lips as she watched the boy run through the implications of her statement in his head. it was adorable to say the least. ❝well benj, to be fair you’re like my best friend. there’s very little you can actually hide from me, especially when it comes to your feelings about my other best friend.❞ the girl shrugged, laughing softly as she watched his reaction. ❝yeah yeah, just remember my fee might go up if you don’t book me in time.❞

okbenjy:

his head tilted , gaze catching the quick fleeting look of confusion in her eyes before it morphed into a smile.  he was confused again ,  but benjy had emmeline in his head , voice reminding him that  it was none of his business.  “ –okay , WOAH    he started ,  taking a breath as his head dropped nervously at the mention of LOVE.  but his grin gave his feelings away as he continued ,     –i don’t know about love , but we’re definitely happy.  extremely , blissfully happy    he then paused , his chin glancing over at her.  “  …i totally gave myself away didn’t i?

image

❝oh honey you’re a GONER and i could tell from a million miles away. don’t worry though, it’s cute on you guys.❞ she teased him, giggling softly. it felt good to focus on someone elses feelings rather than simmer in the complexity of her own. besides, she genuinely felt happy seeing her friends together, finding peace with someone that made them happy. ❝just know i’m already planning the wedding and you’re going to have the best dj at your reception.❞

okbenjy:

he nudged her shoulder as if to silently tell her he knew.  they had a very unique friendship , one that benjy wouldn’t trade for the world.    okay , hanging out is always good.  are you guys–?  there was pause , his shoulders shrugging before adding curiously,       –together ?   the words came out a higher pitch.  at lily’s inquiry , benjys eyes gravitated back to emmeline who was just yards away ; a foggy smile ever present.    yeah , we’re having fun.  she makes me happy  

image

❝um… NO? we’re just… talking i guess.❞  for some reason his question made her uncomfortable. it wasn’t that she didn’t LIKE edgar. she did. she liked the attention. she liked the way he made her blush and how their conversations were interesting. she liked challenging him and how he in turn challenged her. but she didn’t LOVE him. not like she loved J A M E S. so when the assumption was that she was dating edgar instead of james arose, it didn’t sit very well with her. but lily played it off with a bright smile, throwing her arm over his shoulder casually. ❝look at you guys. my best friends. in LOVE.❞

okbenjy:

  ah , fantastic.  knew i could count on you and fulfilling my love for the rolling stones.  “  there was a toothy grin at the thought , his own shoulders swaying slightly with the song in the background.  he then raised a brow.     you came with edgar?  oh , i thought you and james were—   he clamped his mouth shut , realizing he was miss informed.    –em’s over there talking to adie.  we both kinda just separated for a second.  

image

❝anything for you, pal. you know i’ve got your back always.❞  the girl laughed softly, reacting to his bright smile. she’d always loved benji’s smile, now more than ever because it was so refreshing to see her dear friend laugh with her again. ❝i did. we’ve been having a fun time just hanging out a little more lately.❞ she shrugged, shifting uncomfortably in place. she didn’t want to linger on the subject of james so she clung to the tangent he offered and she was grateful he didn’t linger on the subject either. ❝are you guys having fun?❞

okbenjy:

  that makes two of us , lils.   –but you did great with the set list.  will i be hearing some rockin’ rollin stones soon?    he joked , though half of him was still hoping.  taking a long sip from the dark rosy liquid ,  benjy looked around them.     so , where’s your date?  

image

❝thank you very much, i take pride in it. oh yes love, i’ve sprinkled a couple of them into the mix just for you, promise.❞ lily grinned, nodding quickly. she shrugged, looking around for edgar. ❝i think we got separated when i had a minor crisis to sort out but i’ve got to find him soon. what about yours, where’s em?❞

okbenjy:

his lips pursed , deciding whether or not to just tell lily or keep quiet.  would she get mad at him like emmeline or peter had?  his hand came up , scratching the back of his head.  oh , fuck it.       its , you know , dumb drama.  i don’t know if you heard but i kind of blew up on james earlier.  it was quite the school spectacle.  

image

❝drama doesn’t seem to be DUMB these days,❞ lily teased, shifting in her seat to turn over and look at him. ❝really? i didn’t really hear about it. what happened between you too? P O T T E R and i aren’t exactly on… SPEAKING terms. so, i really had no way of knowing.❞

okbenjy:

things were all wrong.  even with lily’s kind gesture ,  benjy still felt strange.  moving to sit down next to her , his hands going straight to his lap ,  the boy gave her a half-smile. it was the best he could do at the moment.     i would love to help you with the set list , lily.  but my only request is that we add some rolling stones.   

image


the girls brows pushed together, concern coloring her soft features as the boy lowered himself onto the the space beside her. there was definitely something OFF about him but she couldn’t quite place her finger on it. ❝your wish is my command benny. are you okay though? seems like you’ve got something on your MIND.

okbenjy:

  he might be a bit mad,  but always brilliant   his voice echoed as he walked down the stairs and into the common room.   he had missed his friend,  missed lily.  and for some reason,  things had made benjy feel odd and out of place.   —i think we all need a distraction right about now,  dont we?  maybe they’ll let us play some tunes.  spice the ball up. 

image

lily looked back, a soft smile settling onto her lips as she saw a familiar face. ❝couldn’t have said it better myself BENNY.❞ she gestured for him to sit next to her, quickly moving her things so he could come over. it felt like years since she’d actually spoken to benjy it almost felt strange to see him. after all they’d both been wrapped up in their own things. ❝don’t you worry, the music will be amazing. would you like to help me out with the set list?❞
