Chapter four: Unleashed Secrets
Robbie sat at the usually table they always sat at in the cafeteria. Ray sat across from him eating a meatloaf and pasta sandwich or what he called "masta"; best of both words. Travis sat next to ray eating his usually lunch, spinach and rice rolls. Robbie looked towards the lunch line and say Lily and Charlie walking towards them. Robbie was dreading this, but he knew he had to do it; he had promised Lily that he would at least give Charlie a chance.
"Hey guys this Charlie." Lily said as she and Charlie sat down. "Charlie this is Ray, Travis, and Robbie." Lily said nodding to each of the boys.
"Hey boys." Charlie said as she opened her soda can.
"So Charlie, Lily tells us your from Philadelphia, a big city; ever see anyone get killed?" Ray asked leaning forward.
Charlie looked at Lily. "Lils was right about you Ray you definitely lighten the mood." Charlie noticed that Ray seemed to really want an answer. "No Ray I've never seen anyone get killed or anything like that."
"So Charlie, what kind of music do you like?" Travis asked
"Mostly punk, but I pretty much will listen to anything that has real feelings in it. Something that when you listen to you can feel that feeling; I guess you could say I'm a music nut." Charlie said with a smile.
Robbie could help but admit that Charlie did seem pretty cool. She did seem to have that quality of telling how she actually felt and how she say things.
"So do I get ask questions now?" Charlie said the guys looked at her. "So let me guess Travis is Smog, Ray is.Pronto, Robbie is Question Mark; and of course Lily is Shady Lane."
The RFR gang looked at Charlie with wide eyes and opened months. They couldn't believe that someone knew who they were. But the real question was how, did she know?
"I'm guess you're wondering how I knew who your alter-egos were right? Well, I pretty much guessed, so you don't have to worry about anyone else figuring it out."
"How?" Lily saying what the guys were wondering.
"Well, back in Philly a couple of my friends did something like this after school. Plus when I asked Lily to met me at Mickey's at four, she said she couldn't cause she had previous commitments. And there are some things I noticed when I first got here this summer; the four of you always hung out and always at four you would all leave and go somewhere together." Charlie looked at Lily. "I know I probably should have not said anything, but I thought it would be better if you knew, rather then not knowing the truth. People should always the truth, that's my theory at least."
"Maybe I should give you guys sometime for the whole thing to sink it." Charlie said standing up. "I'm going to be at Mickey's later so if any of you guys want to talk to me, you can find me there."
They all watched as Charlie walked away from their table and then out of the cafeteria. They were still shocked that someone knew who that they were Radio Free Roscoe DJ's. It was too much what were they going to do? What were they going to do about Charlie?
Ray, Robbie, Lily, and Travis sat in the RFR station in silence, they were all thinking about what had happened at lunch today. They still couldn't believe that Charlie knew the truth about them. They didn't know what to do about it but knew something had to be done.
"I know Charlie isn't going to tell anyone, so we don't have to worry about that, at least." Lily said finally after there had been a long period of silence. "I have an idea but I don't know if you guys are going to like it."
'What is it?" Ray asked looking up from where he was sitting.
"I was thinking that we should ask Charlie to join RFR, not as a full time DJ or anything but maybe as like a special guest. It would be nice to have another girl on the show."
"How can you even think of that? We can't just let someone we barely know on the show." Robbie said raising his voice.
"I don't barely know her, she's my friend, and I think we should let her join RFR, she would a good addition." Lily said raising her voice as well.
"Lily's got a point Robbie; we could use a new influence on the show. And another girl might not be that bad, we could bring in a large audience." Travis said.
"You've been awful quiet Ray, what do you think?" Robbie asked hopping that Ray would side with him.
"Well, "Ray paused as he looked at his friends. "I can see both sides, but I have to agree with Travis and Lily. I think it would be good if we got some new blood on the show. I know it's a big change Robbie, but think about it, it could really help the show."
Robbie looked at his three friends. "Fine she can join but on trial basis. So who's going to tell her?"
"I will." Travis said before Lily could who looked as if she was about to say she would find Charlie.
"Ok, she said she would be at Mickey's so you can find her there." Lily said and then watched as Travis walked out of the station.
Charlie sat in Mickey's with her head phones on as she read a book. She wasn't expecting anyone to come, she had a feeling that it would take Lily and the others sometime to decide what they were going to do about someone other then the four of them knowing the truth about them and RFR. Charlie's CD had just changed songs when she felt a tap on her shoulder; she turned around and saw that it was Travis.
"Hey Travis, I didn't expect on seeing you." Charlie said as she took her headphones off and closed her book.
"Timeline?" Travis said looking at the cover of the book. "Any good?"
"Yeah its pretty good." Charlie answered. "Travis what are you doing here?'
"I've come with a decision about your knowledge of our little extra curricular activity."
"And the decision is?"
"We want you to join RFR at least on trial basis."
"I'm guessing that's Robbie's idea."
How did you know that?'
"Well I figured Lily told him what I said about Question Mark, and he was too happy about that and that's why he was a little cold towards me."
"You'll have to excuse Robbie about that.
Robbie sat at the usually table they always sat at in the cafeteria. Ray sat across from him eating a meatloaf and pasta sandwich or what he called "masta"; best of both words. Travis sat next to ray eating his usually lunch, spinach and rice rolls. Robbie looked towards the lunch line and say Lily and Charlie walking towards them.
