Tick Tock Timebomb Chapter 2: Math Tonight, But Is Everything Else Alright?

"You know what I'm going through right" I asked this wonderful girl, who I had gotten to know over the past few weeks after the kissing catastrophe.

"Yes, very much so Ray, you weren't the only one hurt during the kiss, I know you love Lily, and I want to be over Travis, but I really am not" She said.

"I told her finally" I said, she smiled at me.

"Too late eh?" she questioned.

"Yea, she ran back to your ex, and started to kiss him, it's awful, plus I am failing math, my dad is going to shoot me!" I said as I leaned my head back onto the locker making a loud sound.

"I'm aceing math, you need some studying help? I you do, then how bout 4 o'clock after school, Mickey's bring your book." She finished as the finishing lunch bell rang loudly in both our ears.

"Sure, I'll be there" I shouted over the bell. "See you tonite" I shouted as the bell stopped. I left from there to find my friends.

"Hey Robbie" I shouted as I spotted my friend walking from the lunchroom. "Where are the lovebirds?" I asked about Lily and Travis.

"I've been trying to figure that out since lunch, they were there for a little while but then after she ate Lily felt sick and went to the bathroom, and Travis went to the library to research a "project", he was working on. So I have been eating alone." He finished.

"Ok, well I'm not going to be at the hangout tonite, I'm getting math help from Audrey."

"Trying to make Travis pissed? Because if you are, I doubt it will work now, Lily and him are serious"

"I guess you are right, but I still need serious math help, which Audrey is good in, so I'll be at Mickey's tonite afterschool I'll tell Lily and you tell Buddha Boy ok?"

Robbie frowned "His... his name is Travis, why can't you just call him that?"

"He hurt me Robbie, I don't think I can ever have a great friendship with him again" I said and walked away and waited for about 30 seconds before I found a very pale looking Lily, walking out of the bathroom.

"Hey pretty lady"

"Not today she's not, Ray"

"You're always pretty Lily, but today you look a little paler and sicker, that's all" I said smiling, and she punched me.

"I'm getting math help tonite from Audrey, so I won't be at the station tonite"

"That makes two of us"

"Really Lily? What's wrong? Not feeling too hot?" I asked concerned.

"Yea, I just haven't been feeling right for the past few days" as Lily pulls on her jeans, I had realized they hadn't fiten her perfectly as they usually do, they were really loose. They weren't new, they were one of my favourite pairs of jeans that she has ever worn. They were dark blue denim, and usually fit her snuggly, but now they were fairly loose around her waist, and her baggy around her legs.

"Hey Ray, Talk to you later tonight, I have to get to class, bye"

"Bye" I said faintly. I realized I was late for class and ran until I hit Travis.

"Owww" I said as the impact knocked me to the floor

"Owww is an understatement" Travis said rubbing is head and back, as he got up from the floor. I leaned down and read the book he had dropped from the crash.

"The Index Of Certain Eating Ailments?" I read of the cover, Travis ripped the book from my hands.

"Someone I know has started to show signs of an eating disorder and I'm worried" he walked to class.

Someone he knew had an eating disorder? What if that someone was himself? Or even worse Lily? Maybe I was just coming to conclusions too early, or maybe I was right, is that why her jeans were like that? Why she was paler than pale and completely sick looking? My wonderful Lily thinking she was imperfect and hurting herself internally, I wouldn't stand for this? WAIT! Lily was coming from the bathroom... after she ate... a sure sign of Bulimia... I was scaring myself, and decided to skip my next classes and head home, I didn't care how the school felt about that, I was about ready to burst out in tears. Why did Lily feel imperfect, when in reality she was more then perfect...
