Chapter 4: A Budding Romance?

Lisa was walking with Ray toward a cafe where many students have lunch. This was happening a few days after the incident at the library. Ray seemed to have many other things in mind. Still he enjoyed being with Lisa. Something about her, made him go back and reminisce in the old days. They used to be the best of friends thorough thick and thin.

Ray was lost in his thoughts as Lisa reawakens him into the reality he now lives. "Hey Ray, we're here." "Hmm..." "Ray is everything all right?" "Oh yeah it is, just fine." "So what is you have after lunch Lisa?" "Oh that, the combat class..." "Combat? Are you training to be a pilot?" "Yeah...according to my parents they say they have a surprise for me when I complete the course." "Well Lisa let's sit down and have lunch!" "Sounds like a plan." The two settle down in an area that was known by the locals, and Ray as the most romantic spot.

From a few ways away Kyleen and Megan try to figure out what is Ray's plan. Staring at the two with eyes ablaze Kyleen, feels more than just anger. Megan decides to ignore it and complies and orders her lunch. Somehow Ray was still on her mind, but she just couldn't look.

A few minutes into the lunch. A young man with red hair, walks down the lane. He sees the young girls and decides to stop by. "Hey Kyleen Megan how's it going?" As he talks he waves to them as well. Megan looks up, and greets him back. "Hi Clyde, I'm doing fine, how are you?" Clyde Dalton proceeds to sit down and begin conversation. "So what's with Kyleen over there?" "Her? Oh she's in a jealous fit over Ray and Lisa." "I heard that Meg!"

"Lisa? You mean that girl we met that day ago, the dark haired girl?" "Yeah that's her." "Oh you mean she's going out with Ray? Wow darn, I guess that's who she meant when I asked her for a date a few days ago." "Huh? What do you mean Clyde explain yourself?!" Kyleen turns around and faces him. "Hello to you to...as I was saying she said she was star struck with somebody." "She wouldn't tell me who, said he was a good looking guy...I don't know after that, she stopped and left."

"..." Kyleen was silent as she heard those words. "Kyleen do you suppose she meant Ray?" Megan asks with a bit of fear in her voice. "..." "Anyway enjoy the rest of your lunch I have to get to combat class. " "Bye Clyde." Clyde gets up and leaves, "See ya Meg, Ky." "Lisa how was the lunch? Was it good?" "Yeah, I need to get to class Ray." "Sure see ya in the evening at our date?" "Yeah I'll see ya there, pick me up at 7:00 P.M." "You know where I live?" "Yeah I remember Lise, see ya."

Kyleen looked back to her position and saw that Ray was alone. "Aha now's my chance to ask him, you coming Meg?" "No...I'm staying to finish my lunch." "Ok then you're loss." Kyleen then proceeds to go to Ray. She makes I there to see Ray a bit dreamy. "Hey Ray, its me Kyleen." "Hey..." "Um... would you like to go with me somewhere later in the evening?" "I'm sorry Kyleen I'm going with somebody else." "Sorry but I need to go now." Ray gets up and leaves. Kyleen stays there a bit stunned at the refusal by Ray.

Lisa headed to her combat class, with a clear set mind. Clyde sees her and joins beside her into a little talk. "Hello Lisa, how's it going?" "Oh...hey Clyde just fine." "You seem happier today did anything happen?" "Just a date, nothing more." "Really? With who?" "Well Clyde, some secrets are meant to be kept." " Aw come on Lisa, you can tell me!" "No, no Clyde that is my secret, and that's how it will stay." They headed together, to the bus that would take them to the undisclosed location.
