Fifth chapter

The next day at school Travis spotted Audrey taking some books out of her locker, so he walked towards her

"Hi Audrey" he said quietly

Audrey acted as if he wasn't there; she just closed her locker's door and started walking away like nothing had happened

"B-bye" Travis said sadly

"That went well" said a voice behind Travis. He turned to find himself face to face with Lily who had been overhearing the conversation (if you could actually call it a conversation) from a few feet away.

"Hey" he said kissing her "yeah, it went quite well actually" he added sarcastically

"I'll talk to her at lunch" said Lily

"Ok" said Travis and kissed her again, but quickly stopped when he saw Ray coming towards them

"Hey Ray" they both said nervously

"I said I was going to be ok, ok?" said Ray rolling his eyes "Stop worrying.

Anyway, have you guys seen Robbie?"

"Nope" said Lily and Travis shook his head

"What's he been doing all mornings lately?"

"He's probably just late" Travis suggested

"Yeah, maybe, but I don't know… I've got this feeling he's doing something else… something wrong…"

"Yeah, he's probably robbing banks or something" Lily said sarcastically

"Maybe he's dating someone" said Travis

"I bet that's it!" said Ray excited

"W-Why would you think that?" said Lily nervously, making Travis and Ray look at her, questioning looks on their faces

"Do you know something we don't?" Travis asked

"No! Of course not" said Lily, not very convincingly "I gotta go". She kissed Travis on the cheek and walked away

"O…k?" said Ray confused

Kim was at the Cougar Radio booth sitting in her chair as Robbie came in

"Hello" said Robbie leaning closer to Kim to give her a kiss, she was about to return it when she noticed some of her friends looking and stopped. When she was sure they didn't see anything and had stopped looking she turned to Robbie, who had a very hurt look on his face

"I'm so sorry Robbie" she said miserably "I haven't told anyone. I'm sure you probably have…" at this she stopped noticing a sad look on Robbie's face. "You haven't told your friends either?"

"No" he said not looking at her "Well Lily knows, but Travis and Ray, especially Ray, well they… aren't your biggest fans, and I don't know how to tell them"

"Oh…" said Kim evidently sad at this confession

"No, Kim it's not like that… I…" he hated to see Kim this sad "You know what? I don't care, I'm telling them today at lunch!"

"Don't you have English with them right now?"

"Umm… well… yes… but…"

Kim started at him, one eyebrow raised

"Well I have to think what to say to them, like I said, they aren't your biggest fans" he said just before the bell rang

"See you later, then" he said looking around to make sure there was no one around and kissed Kim

When Robbie got to the English classroom Ray asked him where he had been. "My alarm didn't wake me; I just got here, why?"

"Never mind"

After English, Robbie had chemistry with Lily. Mr. Grassby was explaining something, what it was, Robbie had no idea, his mind was elsewhere, he was trying to imagine what would be Ray's reaction when he told him about Kim

"Robbie" said Lily noticing the worried look on his face "are you ok?"

"Not really…"

"Why?

"Well… I'm kinda thinking about telling Travis and Ray about me and Kim at lunch"

"You will" said Lily shocked, she didn't mean it to sound like that, but she couldn't help it

"Aww thanks a lot Lil, you gave me so much confidence" said Robbie sarcastically

"Sorry I just think Ray is going to take it badly"

"I know! That's what I'm worried about, I mean first you and Travis and now me and Kim, I think he's gonna kill himself!" he said and they both laughed

"Ahem!" Mr. Grassby said "Do you have something you would like to share with the rest of the class?"

"No, Mr. Grassy" they both said.

At lunch Lily and Travis were looking for Audrey, but she was nowhere to be seen. "I think she's trying to avoid us" Lily said

"You think?" asked Travis sardonically "Didn't you see the way she ignored me this morning?"

"Well let's sit down, there's Ray" they sat with Ray and a few seconds later, Robbie joined them, an anxious look on his face

"You ok?" asked Travis

"I have something to tell you guys…" he began, but he stopped when she saw the horrified look on Lily's face

"OK, what's up with you two?" said Ray

"Well, I'm… I'm…" Lily still had the same look on her face, which didn't give him any confidence. "I'm dating someone…"

"I knew it" said Ray thrilled

"No, I said he was probably dating someone, you just agreed" Travis corrected

"Whatever Swa…" Ray started to say, but seeing Travis menacing stare he stopped and asked: "So, who's the lucky lady?"

"Well…"

"Guess who? Of course it's me, Kim Carlisle" came Kim's voice from the speakers "Yo and Hello Roscoes…"

Everyone in the cafeteria except for Lily and Robbie, groaned

"Why do we have to listen to her everyday?" said Ray. Robbie gave him an angry look but he didn't notice.

"Anyway" said Travis once Kim's announcement was over "You were saying? Who's the luck lady?"

"Umm…"
