"I'm question mark and I'm wondering.. How do you know when you're an outcast? And how can you change."

It was a normal afternoon for the gang of Radio Free Roscoe. It had been a long day for Travis, and his friends weren't helping.

"You don't know" Smog piped in "You just are... and no you cant change." "Why not?" Shady Lane gave him hope. "Because people like that. they don't realize that they can change, so therefore they wont." "But others see them as losers." Pronto, always blunt. " 'Everything has beauty, but not everyone sees it' -Confucius." And smog went off air. He had always wanted to finish the show but the others never really gave him the chance.

"Good show guys." Robbie had said. He stood up and slipped his backpack over his shoulders. Ray did the same and the boys left.

"Sorry Travis, Id love to sick around but I'm going to get Megan from the airport." "Oh right, she is flying in tonight huh?" His friend smiled. "Yeah, were going to have fun, you guys are going to love her." "Does she know about the show?" "Yeah, but I hope that's ok. I never really expected her to come back home. Plus this experience is way too cool just to keep it between ourselves." Travis laughed. "Very true. Well, maybe she can help out somehow." "She has great music taste, and she likes to operate things, she can give you a hand." He laughed again. "Yeah, maybe." "Anyways, We'll see you tomorrow?" "Always do." And he watched his friend leave. Travis was new to Roscoe and was having a hard time fitting in. He had met some really cool people so far though. Robbie McGrath. He was a cool guy with an awesome hair style. Robbie had a theory that he had learned from his grandfather. That time passage was the only thing that was certain and that everything else must be questioned. So he questioned all, and Travis admired this. Ray Brenan. Ray wanted to make everyone around him smile, and didn't mind making himself look stupid to do it. Ray loved his school, and loved his friends, even though sometimes he made Travis feel unwelcome. And Lily Randall. Lily was the kind of girl who you just wanted to hug. She loved what she was interested in and when she loved it, she loved it. She was always writing songs, which Travis also admired. Travis was the type of guy who was always looking for his inner peace and who was into his own things, and he liked that Lily had her own thing that she shared, but was truly something private and that came from her soul. Question Mark, Pronto, Shady Lane and Smog. smart dog... best of both worlds.

Travis walked up to Robbie and Ray the next day at school who seemed to be debating about something. He wasn't even going to ask. He opened his lockers listing to his friends bicker and just laughed to himself. He pulled out his chemistry book and the latest book he had found on Chinese enlightenments.

"Hey guys." He heard Lily say as he was still gathering his things. "This is Megan." Travis looked and they immediately locked eyes.
