Laughing Boy: Chapter 2
Disclaimer: If I owned RFR, Lily would be called 'Allie' and Allie and Ray would get together. Sweet, sweet, sweet Ray...

Dear Travis. . .I typed the keys on my laptop slowly. What was there to say after a letter that great, telling me everything about his life? It was horrible being apart, and even the million miles separating them, I could still feel the glare from Lily.
He told me about Ray and Lily. Is it because the fact that she loves Travis is why she doesn't go out with Ray? The thought haunted me for a second, but I shook it off. No, of course not. It was just the spur of moment thing. She loves him, of course. And Travis loves me.
But...what if they're laughing right now? Talking, talking about me. About how Travis made a fool of me. Poking fun at Ray. Leaving him out of everything. "The Laughing Boy strikes again." I muttered, writing the first sentence of the letter which was going no where.
Well, Travis, has Lily told you that she loves you yet?
I hit the backspace. No, no, no. It has to be more like. . .
Hello Mr. T. I've missed you so much. This place is so boring compared to Roscoe High. I can't wait until I come back. It's only one more month.
You've told me so much about your life, but I have told you nothing. Maybe it's because my life is so dull compared to yours. Do you think that Ray and Lily will get together? Does Lily really like Ray? She wasn't jumping over him the last time I came.
Yes, yes, this is good. It's just insinuating a little detail that might change everything.
I think it's good for Ray for doing what he did. It took guts, real guts, to say those words. Tell him that I find it very brave. And while your reading this, I can see you telling him, as he beams with pride. But after that incident, he's probably too busy hanging around his new soon-to-be girlfriends.
Kim and Robbie seem like a unpredictable couple, but in a good way. Yin and yang. That's what they are. Salt and pepper. They just go together. Like we do.
I deleted the last line; it seemed too boyfriend/girlfriend. Was he my boyfriend? I suppose. I mean, he's been writing me poems, and letters, and talking to me like I was salt of the earth. So, is that a boyfriend? It seems too fixated on labels. I don't think Travis would really enjoy that. Neither would Lily, I added.
No Man's Land. I find that very catchy. When their first CD comes out and they become famous, I could say I sort of knew them back then. I can see Lily rocking out on her guitar, and I bet you could start singing with her. I know you have a sexy voice Mr. T, don't hide it.
Actually, I don't know if you have a sexy voice. I haven't really heard you sing. I bet Ray and Robbie and probably Lily. Mostly Lily, I bet.
I cut the four sentences out. I couldn't just write those things. I barely knew Lily. And, I mean, the way Travis hides things, I bet no one has ever heard him sing. I wonder if he does have a sexy voice. . .
Oops, I'm daydreaming. Must get back to writing Travis an email that will make him smile.
Everything here is so dull, so boring. Right now I wish I was at Roscoe High. It's like a soap opera is forming, right there in your little sleepy town. If I were there, I bet it would be even more of a soap opera.
I bet Lily would fall for you and then her and I would get into a cat fight. Ray punches you. . .and Robbie and Kim tell people that they're in love, and everyone is shocked! Then I would be all depressed and Lily would make you fall her. Then you would cheat on me, but find out if was a big mistake and ask for forgiveness.
But, I would start crying and be like. . ."Mr. T, it's over." And leave you and then you would feel like an idiot and Lily would start to realize she's really in love with Ray. Then you would run after me, trying to get me back. . .but I've already gone to Hong Kong and left you.
And you feel like an idiot.
Ha-ha, Travis, that is such a fantasy. I believe that you would never do a thing like that to me. I don't Lily would fall for you, I mean, you used to like her, but you're just friends. And anyway, I would forgive you. I wouldn't run away from my problems for that matter, either.
Love you always,
Bridget
I hesitated clicking the Send button. What if my predications of that soap opera will come true? Visions of Travis talking, laughing, kissing Lily burned in my mind.
Never. Never would he do such a thing. I must be more faithful.
I clicked Send with more of a surge of energy. Then I smiled at the screen, and got up from the desk and started to walk away.
I glanced back, thoughts racing what Travis will say in response. Will he respond? I shook my head. I was too dramatic. Nothing bad was happening. My Laughing Boy was laughing with me, not at me.
Still, the nervous expression couldn't help but enter onto my face.

Such A Little Girl: Thank you! Dialogue? No, no, no! Bridget's much cooler. :P Kidding. I'll get dialogue when she returns to Roscoe, and much stuff happens. I just haven't decided what!
MutantJediBauer: Yes, Bridget's getting bashed. She's not all that bad either. I mean, she hasn't done anything bad. She's quite pleasant. Thanks for the nice review!
Shady199: Um, go...go away Trily! cowers in fear Nope Katie, doesn't work. : You and I really have the same thoughts.
kimbietrily: Thank you for not going all, "EW. I hate that bitch Bridget!" Respecting opinions is something people need to do more often. People like you shall make the world a better place. Thank you very much!!
RfRNathanzROurs: Yeah! Lily was all like, "All the guys like me. I don't care about either of their feelings! I'll just be evil!" I hated that so much! I agree with the Travis thing, too.

Author's Note: Hey yo! Laughing Boy Chapter 2's up, finally! Where did Bridget go? Back to Hong Kong to get some stuff? Or what? I got pretty confused, but she's away from Travis right now. But she'll be back in the next chapter and what if her soap opera thing came true? Ooh! Mystery!
