Ch.2: Home, Sweet Home.
"RAY!" "Huh? Oh sorry" Ray looked up from his watch, "Like I said, I'm tired." "It's alright, So why did you want to hear what Kim had to say about homecoming? Are you thinkin about askin somebody?" Lily's eyebrows raised as she asked this. "Oh, Um. Possibly.." Ray mumbled. "Oh yea? Who are you thinking about asking?" Robbie asked, "and how would you be able to?" he laughed. "Well Mr. Romantic, I'm gonna keep that to myself" Ray replied back shrewdly to Robbie.
"Hey, take it easy. I think I have an idea anyways" Robbie winked at Ray. "What was THAT about?" Lily seemed puzzled. "Oh nothing" Travis interrupted with a wide grin on his face.
Lunch was wrapping up and everyone started exiting the cafeteria. Ray grabbed Lily's arm later before she left with Travis and Robbie. "Whoa Ray I gotta goto class, is something up?" "Yeah actually, I have a.. a question to ask you." He gulped and rubbed the back of his head. "Well you see.. Actually, well.. Do you want to go to.." "Yes..?" "Do you want to go with me to.. Myyyy house to pick up something before we goto RFR today?" Ray sighed and realized he couldn't do it. "You almost had it" His inner conscience said. "Umm, sure..?" Lily answered. "That's...That's good. Ok then!" Ray said. "But I have to get to class.. See you later" Lily said, and she couldn't help but feel a sort of awkwardness at the situation. She shrugged it off and walked to class. Ray stood helplessly still at the cafeteria door as other students hurried their way to class trying to push him out of the way. "Hey move it, man." a guy said as he walked past. "Ahh, Ray the Magnificant fails his duties once again.."
At 3:20 the last bell rang and the kids started flowing out of the door, Ray walked to the flagpole and patiently waited for Lily. He thought to himself, "Not today Ray, Just wait, wait until you build up your confidence more. But what if someone asks her? AHH." His mind was in a tizzy and suddenly he spotted Lily. "Hey, ready to go?" He jutted out his elbow as if waiting for her to lock it. "Yep, hey do you have a lot of homework tonight? Wylie gave me an essay on the industrial revolution.. blah." Lily rambled on. "Oh, nah.. I did it during my other classes." Ray said. "Really? That's amazing, Usually you're like the last one to be done with homework that I know, but hey good job" She grinned at him and they continued walking to Ray's house, mostly silent. When they reached his door, Ray said, "Um, just wait right here, I'll be right bac--" "Wait a minute Ray, come to think of it. I have never been in your house before, is it alright if I come in?" Ray couldn't say no to this, Lily would be in his house. His mom wasn't home because she had work until 4:15, so he wouldn't have to be embarassed by her saying "Is this your girlfriend?? etc."...
"Uh yeah, come on in. If you want anything go ahead and dig through the fridge, I'll go run upstairs and grab the.. thing." "Ok thanks Ray." She stood there holding on to her books and watched Ray run upstairs. She decided to follow him upto his room. She knocked on the open door and Ray turned around startled "Ah! Lily.. phew you scared me, Uh my room isn't looking it's finest right now..uh" He looked at his room and noticed the picture of Lily he had on his wall with hearts around it that he had drawn on himself. He hurriedly jumped in front of it and stuck his arms out. "What was that?!?" She asked.
"RAY!" "Huh? Oh sorry" Ray looked up from his watch, "Like I said, I'm tired." "It's alright, So why did you want to hear what Kim had to say about homecoming? Are you thinkin about askin somebody?"
