On Tuesday morning Lily walked slowly through the halls. She hadn't stopped at her locker very long because she already had her books with her from the weekend for English. It had been raining out when she arrived at school, and she noticed her feet were a bit wet from walking in the rain. She sat down on the stairwell that her and the guys always sat on when Ray came walking up to her.
"Hey Lily!" Ray said cheerfully sitting right down
beside Lily, making sure that no one could sit on the other side of her. He
threw his arm over her shoulder in a friendly way.
"Oh hey Ray!" Lily said trying to throw enthusiasm into her voice as she looked
around the hall for Travis.
"How are you this morning" Ray said standing up beside her and standing in
front of her.
"I'm good actually Ray" Lily said standing up and moving away from sitting by
Ray. She stood up beside him so she could see Travis walking down the hall. He
was soaked from walking in the rain, even though he had a jacket and umbrella
with him. She smiled when she saw him looking at her and walked over to him.
She hugged him and smiled. Ray followed her and just for good measure she
hugged him too.
"Travis! You're all wet" Lily said making an odd face.
"Yes, well… it is raining out" Travis said laughing a bit and turning his
direction to Ray.
"Lily, that's what does happen in the rain" Ray said laughing a bit and shaking
his head.
"I'm aware of that" Lily looked at him for a second
and blinked. She looked at Ray and smiled "Did you have fun at the fireworks
last night?"
Ray almost snorted. Over the last night, he had decided he would try to trap
Travis and Lily in there own secrets, but he didn't want to hurt either of them
at the same time "I had a really great time. What did you guys do after the
fireworks? After Robbie and I left" Ray asked looking at them curiously
"I walked Lily home, and then I went home" Travis
said nodding and noticing Robbie was slowly approaching them.
"Sounds like fun" Ray said coolly and looking away towards Robbie "Hey man!"
"Hey guys, what's up?" Robbie asked stopping besides the group.
"Nothing" Travis said shrugging. Lily nodded in unison and turned to Ray.
"Just trying to figure out a mystery" Ray said seriously and then started laughing "What the meat is for lunch today"
Lily let out a bit of a sigh and laughed "Who knows, we never know"
Travis looked at his watching and nodded "We've gotta get to class"
Lily nodded and smiled at Travis as he began to walk away, "We'll see you guys later!!" Lily waved briefly to catch up with Travis.
There was a pause between Robbie and Ray for a second as Ray leaned up against a locker.
"You notice the necklace she was wearing?" Robbie asked looking at Ray with a curious look on his face.
"Yes!" Ray exclaimed looking at Robbie "It looks
exactly like her very first guitar pick"
"Did you give it to her?" Robbie asked looking at Ray with a curious eye.
"No, but I bet I can tell you where it came from" Ray said scowling under his breath.
"Finally, we're alone, sort of" Travis said
laughing a bit and taking Lily's hand.
"We are. Look, you're all wet, maybe you should change into clean gym clothes
or something?" Lily asked looking at Travis.
"I could, but I'm fine this way" Travis said as they walked to his locker. He threw his jacket in his locker and took his plaid shirt off, leaving his white t-shirt that was dry on, and putting an extra black button up shirt with white stripes he had in his locker on.
Just as Travis was about to lock up his locker the warning bell started to ring.
"Time for class" Lily said looking at Travis with a weird look on her face.
"It is." Travis said smiling at her. He looked in the classroom they had for English and noticed no one was in there, "Come on" he whispered.
Lily followed Travis into there room as he closed the door behind them. He made her sit down on one of the desks and he kissed her lips softly. Lily smiled and kissed him back. Lily got up off the desk she was sitting on, and she sat in her seat. Travis sat beside her and they smiled at each other until someone walked into the room, then they shook from their own world and turned to face the front of the class.
Ray shook his head as he walked away from the room 'So, it's true… they are together… what now?' he thought to himself. He debated telling Robbie as he walked away from the classroom and silent drifted down the hall, into his own.
