Detention. Again. I guess Waller really doesn't like it when people touch
his snow globes... You know what I mean. I used to just like the atmosphere
of the room. It used to be me and my radio. There's just something about
sitting in a school room, with no one else there, knowing you did something
bad. I used to smirk to myself when I would replay how I got into the
situation day after day, and I would smile a little wider when my favorite
song came on Radio Free Roscoe. I even used to laugh. But I don't do that
much anymore, because lately I've been having a visitor.
I looked up to see my company keeper walk through the door, for the fourth time this week. It all started last week when her and her friends got detention for using cell phones. I helped them out. I didn't have the heart to tell them that I knew they were RFR; they do try so hard to keep their identity secret. I admire it. They can be scandalous without having the consequences of people knowing. I'm actually quite shocked to be the only person, well person that I know of, who knows about them. It's pretty obvious. To think, all I would have to do is go and tell Kim Carlisle and what they have would be over. That would be my biggest bust to date. But I've grown quite attached to Lily, and I would not do that to her. Our friendship has blossomed over the last week, but I don't think she can quite comprehend the level of my liking to her.
"Lily, back again? What did you do this time?" I leaned back in my chair and she sat on the desk in front of me.
"Ah, you know Waller, has to have it his way. You try to protest one little thing, and it's off to detention with you. How about you? What was your daily dose of madness?"
"Well, you know... Waller really doesn't like it when people touch is snow globes..."
"Maggie! Going a little far to get a 3.0 are we?" Lily teased with a grin on her face.
"You know what I mean." I tried to maintain my poise, but she broke me down and I had to smile.
"Yeah, I know what you mean... so, what's on the agenda for today's fun filled afternoon?"
"More RFR of course. I hope that Shady Lane is back today," I paused to see the look on her face before continuing, it was a bit tensed, I smiled a little. "She is my favorite, I miss her. Hey, isn't it funny that when you started coming to detention, she stopped showing up?" I smiled a little more.
"Heh, yeah..." lily laughed nervously. I just had to take advantage of this.
"It's almost as if... YOU, were Shady Lane." I looked around the room until I said the word you. When I hit that word, I locked my eyes on her and didn't let contact break on my end. "Are you?" Lily started to look around the room very nervously.
"Y-You... you can keep a secret... how about this," Lily regained her composure and my eye contact. "Let's make a deal. I'll answer your question, if you answer one of mine."
I thought about this for a second. I already knew what her question would be. It would be about the rumor. Jeez, you kiss ONE girl a little too friendly to just be for spin the bottle, and everyone talks! I knew I could trust her. This also could work out to my advantage...
"Alright, it's a deal. Fess up Shady."
"Okay... I am Shady Lane. And Travis is Smog, Ray is Pronto, and Robbie is Question Mark. Happy?"
I smiled widely. "I already knew that. I just wanted to get you to admit it. That makes me happy." I leaned back in my chair.
"Now for my question... are you... ya know... a lesbian?"
I smiled at her. I gave her a good pause, just for impact.
"Yes. I am a lesbian." I leaned forward in my chair. "Happy?"
Lily had the biggest grin I had ever seen on her face. My lips curved upward more, I didn't think they could right now. She finally spoke after what seemed like forever.
"I already knew that. I just wanted to get you to admit it. And it makes me VERY happy.
