It was just after school and Travis was at his locker, gathering all of his homework for that night. He was busy thinking about an Geography assignment when he felt someone standing next to him. Travis narrowed his eyes and looked over his left shoulder to see Ray standing beside him.  Travis shook his head a bit and sighed,
"What are you doing here?" Travis asked, almost as if he were made that Ray was at his locker.
"Just wanted to see if you wanted to walk with me to the station" Ray said effortlessly, looking at Travis and nodding his head.

"Why?" Travis asked as he threw a book he was reading into his bag, and took his lock off his locker.

"Because, just wanted to" Ray said shrugging and leaning against the locker that was beside Travis's.
Travis locked his locker, and turned to face Ray "Fine, sounds good"

"Good, should we start?" Ray asked as he started to walk away from Travis's locker.

"What about Lily?" Travis asked trying to catch up to Ray, but raising his eyebrow.

"Oh, she might have left with Robbie already" Ray said walking around a corner and almost walking right into Lily.
"Or she's right there" Travis said shaking his head and looking at Ray hopelessly.
"What's going on?" Lily asked confused as she caught Ray's attempt at trying to stay on his feet.

Ray frowned for a slight second and then smiled, " I was just leaving with Travis for the station. I thought you already left with Robbie"
"Oh, no." Lily said as she eyed Ray suspiciously, "Robbie's still talking to Kim. I was just looking for Travis and… you"
Travis laughed a bit and looked from Ray to Lily "Well, we better get going and see what Robbie's going to do"

"Yea, that might be a good idea" Ray said turning around to walk in the opposite direction.

"What is he doing?" Lily whispered to Travis quietly as Ray walked quite a way in front of them looking for Robbie.
"I don't know. He just walked up to me, when I was waiting for you and started talking to me" Travis said shrugging as he shook his head.
"I wonder what's going on with him" Lily said softly looking from the back of Ray to looking at Travis.
"I'm not sure" Travis said quickly just as Ray turned around to face them.
"Come on slow pokes." Ray said enthusiastically as he held open his arms. Travis and Lily looked at each other and walked over to Ray. Ray put one arm around Lily's neck and the other around Travis's "We need to find Robbie"
"I know, I thought that's what we were doing" Travis said with a questioning sound in his voice.
"Ahhh, yes we are. But why not do it altogether now?" Ray said tightening his grip playfully around there necks.

Travis narrowed his eyes to his usual look and noticed Robbie standing over by his locker, talking to Kim.

"Should we go and get him?" Lily said noticing Travis's look.

Ray took his arms from around Lily and Travis and folded them in front of himself "I don't know, they look pretty happy" Ray said shrugging.

"But we have the show" Travis said sitting down on the stairs.

"This is very true" Ray said sitting beside Travis and smiling.

Lily sat in front of Travis and Ray and rested her head against the banister of the stairs.



"I'm QuestionMark, and I'm wondering, why do people have so many expectations of the people you like or love." Robbie said into the mic. They were at the station doing the show, finally after Robbie showed up 10 minutes late.

"Because, people always have certain expectations of everyone." Ray said trying to be serious "Like I expect to see Smog always walking around by himself"
Travis rolled his eyes "I think people have expectations of the people you like, or people you love because at any minute someone could come and take the person you think you love, right from under your nose"
"That's a good reason Smog" Robbie said looking at Travis and nodding his head.
"I think another reason is that people assume friends can't date. The minute they do, people always think that it's hurting there other friends." Lily said looking at the mic as she talked.

"What about you Pronto, what do think about it?!" Travis asked as he looked at Ray.

"I think that people have so many expectations because they themselves are scared of hurting the people they love." Ray said as Travis gave them the queue that the show was almost over.

They signed off as they usually did and Travis walked out of the booth.

"Good show guys." Travis said walking over to where they kept the C.D's.

"Yea. It was great" Ray said almost over exuberantly as he sat on the couch and opened his backpack. He pulled out his math book and started to go through a chapter.

"You're doing your homework here?" Robbie asked looking at Ray shocked, more shocked that he was actually doing his homework, as opposed to where he was doing it.

"Yea, I figured it might be easier to do it here" Ray said as he brought out his pencil and started to figure out math problems.

Travis raised his eyebrow at Robbie and Lily and then turned to Ray, "Well… I'm gonna get going"
"Me too" Lily said almost laughing.
"I'm going to too" Robbie said picking up his backpack.

"No one's going to stay here?" Ray questioned looking up from his homework.

"No, it's almost supper time" Lily said as she walked to the door. Travis followed her and Robbie soon followed them.

Ray watched as they left and shook his head "WHY are my plans ALWAYS back firing?"
