CHAPTER ONE

Fumbling with his lock to his locker, Travis grits his teeth as he could not concentrate putting the correct combination in. Finally, after about five tries, he swings open the door and begins to unpack when he hears a giggle coming from down the hallway. He looks towards the joyous voice he enjoys, to find something else that makes him more frustrated. Audrey ((A/N: I suppose that is her name, I keep thinking it's Aubrey...lol)) and Lily were chatting and flipping their hair at something humorous.

'Since when did they make up?'

Anger boiled inside of him again as he slammed his locker door and walked down the hallway. It's not that he didn't want them to be friends, but it was just one more thing to frustrate him. Aside from him trying to win Lily over and casting Ray aside so he would not interfere. But how could he when all Ray does is do things for Lily? Turning the corner, Travis bumped into something (or rather, someone) and felt books being dropped onto his foot. After crying out in pain, jumping back, and nearly screaming out a swear word, he looked down to spot a girl picking up her books.

Her dangly long brown hair cascaded down to her middle back and she wore a black mini skirt with a pink shirt that said "Bite me" in black wording. He bent down and was helping her when he came across a book titled "Awakening The Buddah Within" by Lama Surya Das.

"You," he pointed to the book, "you read this?"

The girl looked at him with sharp brown eyes with a look as if saying "why do you care?" and snatched the book from his hands.

"Yeah, so?" She stood up and pushed her hair from her eyes. Then, she walked down the hallway, probably toward her locker or first class.

Travis looked after her with a look of confusion written all over her face.

"I see you've met the new student." Travis spun around to see Robbie smirking at him. "I hear she came from a rough neighborhood. Hell, something." ((A/N. There really is a city named "Hell". It's in Michigan. Look it up if you don't believe me!))

Travis nodded with interest. "Do you know her name?"

"I suppose it's something weird like Kiara or something." Robbie put his hands up and waved them in front of Travis and emphasized the word "Kiara" as if saying she's weird.

Travis laughed and hit Robbies' hands away from his face. "She was reading something on Buddah."

"You made conversation with her?"

"No, I just was picking up her books."

"So you're carrying her books?"

Travis was getting angry and his eyes widen and he spread his arms apart like he was going to give him a hug.

"I don't even know her name! Why would I carry her books?"

Robbie chuckled and hit Travis on his shoulder.

"Calm down, I was only joking." Then, spotting Kim over Travis' shoulder, Robbie nods a good-bye and walks away.

Travis sighed and shook his head. Then, he started towards his first class when he saw Lily and Ray talking by the stairs. At first, he wanted to go over and break it up...just to get Lily's attention and what not. But he decided that he will get her attention sometime else...sometime when they were alone.

After school, Travis started walking home when he saw Lily alone. He quickens his pace to get to her...while Ray wasn't around. When he gets to her side he smiles and nods.

"Hey Lily."

She looks at him with a surprised look. He DID kind of sneak up on her. Remembering how she made fun of him with Audrey last night, she almost immediately feels guilty and gives a smile.

"Hey....um Travis."

Her not so welcoming greeting made him feel smaller than he already did. Biting her bottom lip wasn't a good sign either.

"What's going on?"

"What do you mean?" She seemed so jumpy. He couldn't help but tell. His eyebrow rose.

"I just wanted to know what was up...." Now that she seemed to be hiding something he stopped her and looked at her. "But now that you've made the impression that something is going on, would you like to tell me?"

She shook her head and smiled.

"Nothing is going on."

"Yeah right, Lily."

She continued to bite her lip and then sighed with her eyes closed. He hated seeing her so stressed....but how could he take sympathy on her when all of his stress comes from her?

"Well, Travis...I wanted to tell you that Audrey and I are friends again and she's not so found of you anymore and if she sees me with you than she won't be too happy and I really want to keep our friendship and Ray and I meeting just down this block here so..."

Travis kept his posture.

'Damnet, he got to her already?'

He nodded as if understanding.

"Alright then, I'll see you later." He walked off before hearing her strained effort ("Travis..") to bring him back. He walked a different way to avoid running into Ray. As he turned the corner he ran into a familiar someone....funny how that can happen twice in one day.

OKAY! First chapter....hope ya'll liked it! Review, please! Thank you!
