"Ray, she doesn't deserve you. You're too good for her." She says, looking at me.

"No, Parker, I don't deserve her. I embarrassed her in front of the entier school. How is that too good for her?"

"She doesn't see how sweet it was for you to do that." She said, leaning in closer to me. "But I did..."

Our lips met, and for one brief moment, I forgot about school, my family, even Lily. For one brief moment, I was happy. Until my conscience caught up with me. I broke off the kiss.

"Parker, I'm sorry, but... I love Lily." I said. I grabbed my jacket and ran out of Mickey's. It was cold, so I put on my jacket. Unfortunately, while pulling the jacket over my head, I wasn't able to see the telephone pole.

WHAM! I fell to the ground, clutching my nose. I checked it for blood, none. I heard laughing and looked behind me.

"Wow, Ray. That was something. If only I had camera. Oh, wait! I do."

"Hi, Bridget." I said getting back up. "What are you doing back here?"

"Well, you guys where such a hoot last time, I figured why not make my stay a permanent one?"

"Oh, that's cool. So, you stayin' with your mom here?"

"Oh, heavens no! My mom has way too much to do in Hong Kong and such. I'm staying with Travis."

"HA! That's funny. You almost had me there!" Staying with Travis? Yeah, right. No parent would ever let-

"It's true. My parents trust me, and Travis' parents trust him."

"Okay. Can you help me with something?"

"Sure, what is it? Homework? Thai-chi? Shop-"

"Parker just kissed me."

"Oh. Uh, who's Parker?"

"Lily's friend. I told Lily how I felt, she rejected me, Parker and I were at Mickey's, then, we kissed."

"WHAT!? YOU KISSED PARKER!?" That voice could only belong to one person, I turned around and saw Lily. 10 feet tall, and raging like a bull.

"BRIDGET! What should I do?"

"For starters, you could wake up."

"Huh?"

I sat straight up in my bed in a cold sweat. I looked at my clock, 3:41 a.m. I lied back down and wondered what the dream had meant. I reached over to my nightstand and got out a pen and paper. I wrote down Parker, kiss, Bridget, telephone pole, Lily, The Hulk. I decided to ask Travis what it all meant the next day.


Y'all know you love it.
