Lil quickly changed into a tank top and a long pair of shorts. She ran her hand through her short choppy hair, as a last attempt to make it look at least half decent. Then she ran downstairs and out the door to Tommy and Phil.

"That took you long enough, Lillian," Phil glared.

""Shut up Phillip,"

"Make me Lillian,"

Lil stuck her tongue out at him as Tommy laughed watching; as they play fought like always.

"C'mon now lets get to the "Java Lava" for those smoothies," Tommy interrupted laughing.

Lil smiled at him dreamily, which really puzzled Tommy. He raised an eyebrow at her; Lil reddened instantly and looked away.

Phil who was already a few steps ahead of them turned around irritated, "Flirt later!" he yelled back at them.

Lil turned beet red at that, and walked up to him, punching his arm. Tommy rolled his eyes at Phil and started to walk along them.

Lil couldn't help but glance over at Tommy every once a while. He looked so cute in a normal plaid shirt and a pair of baggy shorts.

When they got there she noticed that Kimi was on duty.

'Damn,'

They entered, ordering their usual and sat down at there usual table. Kimi cleaned her hands on a cloth and took off her apron. She then turned and smiled at then –particularly Tommy- and strode over toward them.

"Hey you guys," she greeted, not taking her eyes off of Tommy.

They all mumbled a respond as she pulled up a chair to sit on –coincidently beside Tommy- Lil noticed bitterly.

"So Tommy isn't Mrs. Del so weird from Math class," Kimi stated looking at Tommy.

"Uh huh," Tommy laughed, "she pronounces her 'N' as if 'M'" Tommy explained to the rest of the group laughing.

Lil just plastered a smile on her face. For the whole rest of the time, Kimi just kept Tommy in a conversation about their classes together.

After about an hour, Lil got sick of the topic and got up claiming a headache. "Oh all right, hope you feel better," Kimi grinned sweetly.

Lil rolled her eyes and left the place dejectedly. 'How can I compete with Kimi if they are together half the time we spend at school, and I barely see him then?

Li felt tears prickle her eyes, at the thought of Tommy and Kimi getting together.

"Lil, wait!"

Lil spun around to find Tommy sprinting toward her.

'Oh no!' Lil thought, 'she couldn't let him see her like this!'

Lil tried to brush away the tears that stained her eyes. When that didn't work, she did the only thing that she could think of, she turned back around and ran!

She knew she wasn't faster then Tommy, since he was 'pro' jock and was use to running up and down fields on a Soccer/baseball/football game.

She knew he was gaining on her, but she didn't stop, she kept on running until he grabbed her arm and got in front of her, preventing her to go past.

Lil furiously tried to wipe her eyes, but Tommy grabbed her arms, preventing her to do so, he looked into her teary eyes, "Lil, what's going on?" he asked concerned.

Lil didn't know what to say, if she said 'you and Kimi have two classes together while me and you have none, or, I saw you and Kimi together and thought maybe you two would get together since you spend so much time with her' …err that would sound so…so stupid!

Lil shook her head.

"Lil we've been friends since we were in diapers, we should be able to tell each other this stuff! Lil I want to know what's wrong. Back there in the 'Java Lava' I noticed you weren't your self when we entered the place. You became distant and depressed. Lil what is it!"

At the realization at how much he was concerned for her, made her love him more, if that was possible.

"

Tommy I-…" Lil started, but she didn't want to finish, she didn't want to tell him. What if he…

She saw how worried he was, just by a look at his eyes, she didn't want him to be worried, she wanted him to be happy!

"Tommy I- I really like you,"

She could hear him gulp!

Lil felt the tears flow down her face again, "sorry," she mumbled as she turned away and ran, this time he didn't go after her…
