Chapter 3: First Sight, and First Jealousy

Chapter 3: First Jealousy

Lisa was working on a project in the study hall. Being a pilot is hard work you know. The students have several different classes including real live combat. Except the bullets are replaced. Anyway the study hall does include a teacher who explains and assigns different projects to work on. Lisa was working on a history project tracing the past of the Omega Wars and its cause.

Lisa worked silently on a computer in the enormous study hall. The study hall is a big library, with a computer lab, several study rooms, and a regular classroom. Two special people were present in this class to her. Ray was helping her by finding books to study from. Ray us a very good friend to her, since he was her childhood friend.

"Where is he?" "Hmm...the Omega Wars had started a few years after the Endless Waltz, an army known as the Grand Cross Army had activated a cannon, that killed 80% of the population of Earth." "Any officers of the former army will be persecuted for war crimes." "Wow...that's quite an incident...but it was 29 years ago."

Raymond comes with some books behind Lisa, and decides to scare her. "Hey Lisa..." he whispers gently. Lisa continues reading, since she knows what he's trying to do. "Lisa..." he increases the sound of his voice. "Hey Lise! Wake up!" Lisa jumps a bit to express some type of emotion. "Oh..." she turns around and sees Ray. "Man, Ray...you scared me, anyway, you have the books great!" "You knew didn't you?" "Uh-huh, I told you it wouldn't work...nice try though." They both laugh together when they used to play together, just like old times.

"Hey Lise, how about we head for lunch?" he gestures by putting the books down on the desk. "Huh? Is it that late already?" "Yeah, I didn't notice till a few minutes ago." Meagan, and Kyleen enter the room, and see the two talking. "They seem to be doing well, don't you think Kyleen?" Kyleen just stares something changed her after seeing Lisa and Ray. Since Ray came to Earth he had been spending time with her, and only her. But ever since that time he had been spending time with Lisa a lot more.

She had asked him about it. "Kyleen what is it you're worried about?" "Well you're spending an awful amount of time with Lisa than with me." "An awful amount of time? Kyleen I explained to you that Lisa is my friend, and I haven't seen her in a long time." "Wouldn't you do the same? I mean I knew her before I knew you, but that doesn't mean that I don't like being with you, I just want to reminisce about the old times."

Kyleen stared at him for a long time after that. She refused to acknowledge the fact they were just friends. She was still staring at Ray and Lisa until Megan woke her from her daydream. "Kyleen? Hey Kyleen?! Snap out of it!" Kyleen awaken from her daydream. "Hmm? Oh yeah right, we came her for a reason no?" "Yeah Ky are you felling alright?" "Yeah sure let's go ask." "Hey Ray!" Meagan calls his attention to them.

Ray turns around and sees the pair walking toward, Lisa turns her attention back to the computer. "Hey Ray how's it going?" "Oh we're fine, Lise and I were finishing the project." "Oh really, what's it about?" "I think the latter end of the occupation by the forces of the Khushrenada kid, and beginning of the Omega incident." "Anyway want to go out to lunch with us?" Megan asks with a bit of hope in her voice. (Believe me Ray is very popular among the ladies, quite the guy. Although he does need work.)

"Sorry you two I have a previous engagement, maybe next time ok?" "Who with?" "Meg you know I never tell you that...anyway I'll see ya guys around." "Hey Lisa you coming?" "Sure...I'm there." Lisa shuts down the computer, and gets up from the chair, and walks with him. "See ya later guys!" Ray heads with Lisa out the door. Megan and Kyleen stay in the room, waiting a bit. "Take a guess who its with now Meg..." Kyleen says as she stands by the door looking after them. Megan with a bit of a down heart. "Well I suppose another time then Ray." She then heads out with Kyleen.
