RUN TO ME
Disclaimer: By know, you all should know this, so I really don't need to put this up anymore, do I? "Call Me" is owned by Blondie.
To RosieLady: Glad I could bring back some good memories for you. Anyways, this story has miles to go before it ends, or at least more chapters. Keep reading, reviewing, and enjoying!
To Confucius: (yes folks, there is a real Confucius, and this was her, and who the character is somewhat based on) ( Just felt I needed to clear that up. ;) Anyways, thanks for reviewing the story, even if you did it just because you were bored, it is still appreciated my friend. Also, a little boredom cure: Drink some Mountain Dew and watch "Phone Booth" for a while, it'll definitely cure your boredom.
To VegaTenshi: Thanks! Hope you keep reading, reviewing, and enjoying!
A/N: I would like to apologize for turning Travis into such a romantic, even though I know he doesn't really act like that on RFR, but have you ever seen him on a date before? I mean, you never know.
CALL ME
Kayla looked out her window and watched Travis drive away before doing the first thing that came to her mind: picking up the phone and calling her best friend. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jordan Rogers was watching "Top Gun" and gazing longingly at Tom Cruise when her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Confucius, Confucius, this is Fuzzy, do you read me? I repeat, this is Fuzzy, do you read me?" said the voice on the other end. Jordan squealed happily. It was her best friend Kayla Adams, who moved to Roscoe a few days ago.
"I copy you Fuzzy," Jordan said with glee, "So what's up?"
"Nothing much. Well, I went on a date tonight with-in my opinion-one of the hottest guys in Henry Roscoe High, but other than that, nothing."
"You went out on a DATE? And you didn't call me in advance? Kayla, you're losing it!"
"Only a little," Kayla replied, "And I didn't think you'd want to know anything until after the date."
"You obviously don't know me as well as you think. So, details, on the guy and on the date. First off, what's his name?"
"Travis Strong."
"Oooooh! His name even sounds hot! OK, next question, what does he look like?"
"I refuse to continue this conversation without my attorney present."
"Well, since you're talking to me, I count as being present, so spill."
"Very funny Jordan, extremely hilarious," Kayla said sarcastically, "But since you asked nicely, I'll tell you. He's about 2 inches taller than I am, brown eyes, blonde hair that kinda spikes up at the top..."
"Like David Boreanaz?"
"Exactly. Anyways, he also drives a fully restored '64 Mustang!"
"Is it a convertible?"
"Yep! Candy apple red and white interior, it's my dream car all over!"
"He sounds like the perfect guy, Kayla. I think you've got it right this time."
"I think I have. And on top of it all, he's a great kisser."
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kayla laughed as her friend banged off a list of things that she should do the next time her and Travis went out. She had been on the phone with Jordan for over an hour, talking and catching up. Suddenly, she looked at the clock and said, "Jor, I have to go. I have to pass out from excitement."
"I understand completely," her friend said, "But answer me this one last question."
"Shoot."
"Does this perfect guy have a perfectly single friend?"
"Still looking for a Clark, Jor-El?"
"It's been a while since anyone called me that," Jordan said wistfully, "Since you left, everything's changed. Michelle, Allyson, and I have been trying to carry on the radio station-with moderate success-and no one's called me Jor-El since you moved. I have to watch 'Smallville' if I want to hear that name."
"Well, Jordan Elizabeth, seeing as I'm the one who originated that nickname, and since it's only been a few days since I left, maybe they think it's too soon. But if you call Michelle and Allyson and tell them that I'm giving them permission to call you that again, maybe they will."
"You're right, you're always right. Anyways, you didn't answer my question, does he have any single friends?"
Kayla thought for a moment and then said, "Yeah, he does. Robbie McGrath. You two would be perfect for each other. I'll introduce you when you come for a visit, OK?"
"OK! There, now was that so hard?"
"No. Listen, I gotta go now. I'll talk to you later, OK?"
"OK. This is Confucius, signing off!"
Kayla laughed and said, "Bye Jor," before hanging up. Miles away, in a small Vermont town, Jordan hung her phone and screamed, "YES!!!!! Oooooh! Tom Cruise is back on!" before going back to watching "Top Gun." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the exact moment that Kayla was telling Jordan the details of the date, Travis was dialing Robbie's number and waiting for him to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Robbie?"
"Yeah, it's me. Wait a minute, Travis, why are you calling me? What happened? Did something go wrong with the lighting? The music? The date in general?"
"No, nothing went wrong. That's the thing. I had a great time with her, and I like her a lot, but I know what's happened before, and I don't want the same thing to happen again."
Robbie sighed angrily and said, "Travis Strong, you are the biggest idiot on the face of the earth."
"What the hell was that for Robbie?" Travis asked, surprised.
"I know you have a terminal fear of rejection, but if you let her go, you'll be making the biggest mistake of your life. She likes you Travis, really likes you. Why else did she ask questions instead of running for the hills when you started talking about obscure Japanese horror films today at lunch?"
Travis thought about that, and also about how Kayla had asked him to explain entomology to her, since she claimed that she wanted to learn more about it, and said, "You're right. I'd be an idiot if I let this chance go. Hey, thanks. Before I go, when are we going to put Kayla on the air?"
"Tomorrow," Robbie said, "Will you call her and give her the heads up?"
"Sure," Travis said, "Talk to you tomorrow."
"Bye," Robbie said, and they hung up the phone at the same time. Travis sat at his desk for a bit, then picked up a small piece of paper and began to dial the numbers on it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kayla was surprised when her phone rang again, and even more surprised at who answered her when she said, "Hello?"
"Hey Kayla."
"Travis, what's up?"
"Robbie wanted me to call and tell you that you go on air with us tomorrow. And, I also wanted to ask you something."
Kayla drew in a sharp breath and said, "What is it?"
Travis took a deep breath and said, "I was wondering if you'd like to go out again sometime." To Travis, it seemed like eternity before Kayla answered, but when she finally did, her answer made him one of the happiest guys in Roscoe:
"Yes, Travis. I'd love to go out with you again."
Hope you all liked this chapter! As always, a little preview of next chapter for you.
Title: On The Radio Summary: Kayla joins the gang for her first ever RFR broadcast, and it gets really interesting when a call from a surprise listener/listeners threatens to expose Kayla and the others as the DJ's of RFR.
