A/N: Alright you wanna talk schedules, let's talk schedules. Last year my locker was upstairs then I had to go to 1st period Spanish downstairs on the other side of the building, then upstairs opposite side of the building for Algebra, then downstairs halfway across the building for Academic Studies, then upstairs for 4th period History, then a few doors down to English, then downstairs A lunch, then upstairs 6th period Science, then finally downstairs opposite side of the building Choir. It was terribly fun!Especially when the morning bells were changed and we had 7 minutes to get to 1st period. I was late everyday and got Saturday school so I gave up taking my backpack home and just carried everything to first period(and yes that meant 2 textbooks and 3 binders on occasion).
This year in 5 days I know my locker is upstairs in the hallway I have no classes but I haven't seen it so I'm carrying a 2 inch, 2 1.5inch, and 1 1inch notebook along with a textbook and 2 moretextbooks on the way in my backpack. 1st period is right by the entrance door which is good because my bus gets there 10 minutes before the bell, then 2nd is in the opposite hallway, then I either go to P.A.S.S. class (Tuesdays we're guinea pigs for this new idea they have in which we talk for half an hour about who knows what and then go to 3rd period) or I go upstairs to 3rd period Geometry, then it's across the building downstairs for lunch, then I go to 4th period History opposite side of the building downstairs, then opposite side of the building to English, then I go out the door through the gym around the building to a room with a broken air conditioner shared by band, choir, and orchestra, then it's back inside same hall as English but instead it's 7th period Biology. I'm gonna have SOOOOOO much fun!(sarcastic)
Well anyway seeing as this is really long I'll thank my reviewers Crizzy4RFR, jhhhhjfjk89, and Gutter and Grace and I'll leave you to reading.
Part 28: Writing Our Wills
Ray, Travis, and Robbie all shared glances of concern as Travis flipped off the song and they returned to the broadcast, but Ray couldn't sit still knowing what he'd done. What he couldn't figure out, however, was why Parker hadn't confronted them the first time. He only let these questions plague him for a minute before bursting out of his chair and then the station.
Apparently, Lily and Parker hadn't carried their conversation very far away because as Ray exited the station he heard Lily scream, "You followed me? How could you!"
"You lied to me, you've been lying to me, I think that's worse." Parker explained.
"I had to, Parker, you're not the best at keeping secrets," Lily shouted, "I can't believe you didn't trust me!"
"I never said I didn't trust you!" Parker countered.
"You might as well have!" Lily pointed out.
"Hey, what's going on here?" Ray asked.
They stared at him, but it was quite obvious that Lily really wished he'd leave. However, Ray had a few confessions to make and wasn't about to walk away.
"It's my fault, Lily I…" Ray started to explain.
"Your fault?" Lily asked, "You followed…"
"Yeah I followed Travis too, but I tried to get her off the trail." He explained regretfully.
"What? Follow Trav…" Lily turned back to Parker, "You followed Travis too!"
"What do you mean too?" Ray questioned.
"Randall, he wasn't in on it," Parker said.
"How could you…" Lily started, but was cut off.
"How could you not tell me?" Parker asked, "Randall, we're friends and cofounders of No Man's Land."
"Oh yeah, just imagine what would have happened if I'd told Audrey," Lily sighed, "or even if Travis had."
"Oh." Parker said, finally understanding.
"But I guess it's not a secret anymore," Lily stated.
And then without another word she left.
"Maybe following her wasn't my best idea," Parker shrugged.
Ray nodded, "Do you think she'll tell Travis?"
Parker shook her head, "Na, she won't even remember that part of the conversation. Just give her a few days to blow off some steam and she'll be fine. Pretty soon things'll be back to normal."
Ray knew Parker was right, because, after all, he'd known Lily since they were 4; and they'd certainly had their fair share of arguments. Even ones as big as this because her poor little hamster wasn't the only pet he'd ever killed…poor Goldy. It had taken her a whole month before she'd spoken to him again, and ever since then they'd been the best of friends again. And of course Ray had been saving his allowance that whole month and had bought a replacement fish that looked identical to her last one…pure gold with a funny little black dot just above the left eye.
"What now?" She asked, "Don't you have to get back?"
He paused for a moment, "I think RFR can live without Lily and me for half a day."
"Mickey's?" She asked.
"Mickey's." He agreed, "I could use a milkshake, and besides we should really start writing out our wills…you know just in case we're wrong about Lily."
"You're probably right about that," She joked, "But you don't think Randall would actually kill us?"
"When she's got a temper, anything is possible," He explained.
"All right, I'll have a strawberry smoothie," She said.
"Why are you telling me?" He asked.
"You're paying, aren't you?" She smiled.
