"wake up girls!" called out Beatrice, walking up and down the hall, infront of the two girl's bedrooms.

Lillian's eyes fluttered open. "Its move day..." she whispered out loud.

Jasmine poked her head out of the bathroom door a little down the hall. She was in her pj's but she has her tooth brush in her mouth. She reached up and pulled it out. "Morning." She said and then walked back into the bathroom and contuined to brush her teeth. SHe'd then get dressed after wards. And pull back her hair.

Lillian got up, scratched her head and walked sleeply into the bathroom. she playfully pushed her sister when she stood infront of the sink. "Hey. sorry about last night.."

"No worries." Jasmine said as she then smiled, pulled her hair back into a messy ponytail and then walked out of the bathroom and into the bedroom. She changed, packed up her pj's then carried the box down stairs and set it next to the door She was in black leggings, a jean skirt and a longish black and white striped shirt. Her jeans jacket hung by the front door. "Morning guys." She said as she walked into the kitchen where her Aunt and Uncle were.

Her aunt and uncle looked at her with smiles on their faces. "You seem like you are in a good mood. Thats good because we have a very long drive." her aunt told her, handing her some toast.

Lillian brushed her teeth and slipped into shorts and a green top. she put on her maroon converses and grabbed her stuff and walked downstairs.

Jasmine shrugged at her Aunt then jumped up and sat on the corner counter and munched a little at her toast. "I'm awake. And eating.' She said and then smiled as she then took a bigger bite and listened for her sister to coem down.

Lillian came into the kitchen and grabbed a slice of toast and basically gulped the whole thing in one bite.

Beatrice looked at Lillian in amazement. "How did you even do that? You must be starved."

Lillian nodded. "I didn't eat much last night. Or for the past year for that matter."

Richard laughed, sipping his coffee. "And you know how much Lil likes to eat." he said with a smirk.

Lillian looked at her uncle with a grin. "shut up. You are basically the white version of Uncle Phil off of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air."

Richard pouted. "I swear...these kids have no respect." he said jokingly, getting up from his seat. "Now, eat fast ladies, we need to get on the road. Asap."

Jasmine hide her smile with her slice of toast and then jumped down and smiled to her Uncle. SHe walked around then sat down and then sighed. She then hate quickly. It was small portions. But it was ate fast.

Lillian wiped off her mouth. "When do we head out?" She asked her aunt and uncle.

Richard looked around. "Is everything packed, babe?" He asked Beatrice. She nodded. "Alright. Lets get this show on the road!" he told everyone.

Jasmine stood up and nodded. "Okay. I'll load up the box and then head on out to the my car." She said then got up and then grabbed the baox, her keys and her jacket as she walked out the door.

"Can I ride with Jazz?" Lillian asked her aunt. Beatrice nodded. "But of course, hun."

Lillian smiled and followed after Jasmine.

"Goodbye house!" called out Richard as he walked out the front door. "Hurry it up, ladies."

Jasmine has put the last box of her things into the back seat. SHe smiled and then walked around her car and got into it. "See you later life." She whispered softly and then smiled to her sister walking closer. She was sumwhat surprized at her. She was doing great. Then agian Jasmine was doing great at pretending things were okay.

Lillian smiled back at Jasmine, seeing the pain in her eyes. She did not dare say anything about it because it would only lead her to feel more guilty. She stood beside the passeneger car door. "Ready?"

"Come on Chika." Jasmine called to her sister when she put the window down. "Let's get this show on the road." She grinned and then played witht he radio a bit, then slipped a CD into the player and smiled as she nodded her head to the sounds of the music.

Lillian smiled and got into the car.

Richard then tapped on Lillian's window, scaring her. She recovered from being startled and let the window down. "Yes?" She asked. He then handed her a credit card with the Chevron and Shell Station pictures on it. "Thats a gas card, hand it to Jazz." He then bent down to look over at Jasmine as Lillian handed her the card. "You follow behind us. I'll be driving the moving van and your aunt will be in the car. Stop and use that card anytime you need to fill up with gas but let us know when you are stopping."

Jasmine nodded at her Uncle. "Okay. I'll be sure to call Aunt Be and tell her." She said, pulling her seat belt on thatn sticking the card in her jean jacket pocket and then smiled to her Uncle. "No worries." She said and then smiled. "Lets get the show on the road?" She asked and grinned, sitting there waiting as the music played.

Richard smiled softly and patted the car hood. "Alright girls. Stay close." He told them, walking and climbing into the van. He pulled out of the driveway and they were off.

Lillian looked at Jasmine. "This is going to be a lonnngg drive."

Jasmine nodded and then sighed a little as she pulled out after the moving van. Maybe her being behind him was a bad idea. Maybe she should have been behind her Aunt but infront of the van. She bite the inside fo her lip as she followed behind him.

Lillian noticed her sister's lack of ease. "Just fall back behing Aunt B."

"But, as you can see. I'm already behind him and the truck thing." Jasmine said and then sighed. 'We stop for gas, then I'll see to switch places with him, but till then. I'll just be fine." She said. Taking her Uncle's word to heart, about following close.

Lillian nodded. "Alright." She then bent over and plucked something from her purse. It was a box of Camel Light cigarrettes. She looked at Jasmine with a grin. "Pleaseee, let me smoke in here. I know I told Aunt B and Uncle Rich that I quit but I've just been really stressed lately."

"What?" Jasmine said and then looked over at her and then looked back to the road. "No. No. Nonononononono. No." She said. "No." She added then looked to her. "That's not happening in my car." She said. "No. I'll not let you contuine to slowly kill yourself." She said then reached from them and grabbed then and tossed the pack into the backseat. Just out of her sister's reach. "Geez. I mean really. Smoking? Stressed? And you don't think I'm not?" She pointed out and then sighed as she drove. Tightening her grip on the steering wheel a little more.

Lillian gasped, looked back at her cigs and then back at the road ahead of her. She crossed her arms. "Geez this drive is going to be long." She griped. She let her head fall against the window and watched the sky as the clouds began to slowly turn grey.

Jasmine sighed. "I hate driving in the rain." She muttered and then sighed as he watched the road. Waiting for the rain to come. WHich it looked like might be pretty soon. the Grey clouds were rolling in kinda fast today. She sighed and waited. Feeling sorry for her sister.

Lillian sighed and nodded. Her eyes felt droopy. "I can't shake this feeling...I'm so tired all the time."

"Rest." jasmine said. "I'll wake yea if we stop. Or when we get close." She said and then hummed the tune to the song playing now on the radio. She tapped a soft beat agianst the steering wheel with her thumb, as she drove close behind her Uncle.

Lillian's eyes slowly closed as she fell asleep.

5 Hours Later

Jasmine's cell phone rang loudly, the name "Uncle Richard" showed up on the front of her phone.

Jasmine flipped it open, "Hello." She said. "How's it going up there?" She asked as she looked to her gas gague. 'Cuase my take is getting low." She said. "So what's up?" She asked as she looked to her sleeping sister and then abck tot he back of the truck.

"Go ahead and pull over next chance you get, we are getting closer anyway." He told her. "We'll follow you."

"My car is sending you love like you wouldn't believe." Jasmine said and then smiled. "OKay. Lead me on into the next gas station then. Tell Aunt B." She said and then smiled. "Talk to you later." She added then hung up and sighed. Waiting for a sign.

The moving van's blinker blinked, signaling for them to turn off onto the next exit.

"Oh yay." Jasmine said and then turned her on and followed suit through behind her Uncle. She sighed and then pulled up at the gas pump just off the exit. She then looked over. "Lilly." She said. "Wakey Wakey." She said and then nudged her sister. "Want to streatch your legs?' She asked. "Cause sis has to fill up the car." She said and then nudged her agian, turned the car off then got out of it to fill it up.

Lillian's eyes slowly opened. She yawned and undid her seat belt. She opened the car door and got out. "What a long ride." She said half to her sister and half to herslelf. Her uncle got out of the moving van and walked over to them. "We only have a couple hours left, girls." He told them.

"Good." Jasmine said, standing there next to the car, waiting. She had the card in hand and then she looked around. "Idea. I'm hungary. It's like food time." She said."How you guys feel?" She asked, looking at the gas station. "I bet the have chips and sandwhiches." She said and smiled.

Her uncle laughed. "Yeah, I could go for a good ole' gas station hot dog." He told the girls, walking up to the gas station. Lillian laughed and followed closely behind him. "You'd better not take them all, Uncle Phil!" she joked.

jasmine laughed as she then finished up putting gas into her car. She then grabbed her car keys, locked the car and then headed into the gas station. "Ooo...SoBe." She grinned grabbing herself a bottle. She then walked around, grabbing a small bag of Munchoes. Her favorite. She then looked around for a sandwhich.

Lillian downed her hot dog.

"Okay, ladies. I just got a phone call from Beatrice. She is getting antsy so we need to hustle." He told the girls, finishing his two hot dogs.

"Okay." Jasmine said to him, grabbed a ham and swiss then wlaked up, paied for them and then walked out. She got into the car, opened the bottle, took a drink. Setting it down in the holder, capping it then belted herself. Unwrapped her food then took a bite and hummed in pleasure. "Yum." She said as she swollowed. She then pulled open the bag of chips and ate two before eating more of her sandwhich. Eating as she waited for her Uncle and sister. "Food is good." She muttered and ate.

Lillian hopped in the passenger side. She wiped her mouth, ketchup still hanging onto the corners of her mouth. "Jazz..." She began. "Could..Could you please not tell Uncle Richard and Aunt B that I still smoke? I am going to try and quit but I am having a hard time. Nicotine helps me get through the stress in my head..."

Jasmine looked over at her, started her car. Then waited for their Uncle to pull out so she could follow him. "As long as you promise you are going to quit. Then I will buy the patch for you." She said, took a drink and then finished her food. Throwing it away in a bag in the back seat.

Lillian nodded. "Thank you so much, Jazz." She told her sincerely. She paused for a second. "...But, aren't you angry with me? I mean, we are only leaving our hometown because of me."

"Well yea. Kinda." Jasmine admitted and then shrugged. "But your my sister. All the family I have. Well other then the Aunt and Uncle. And, I can't just hate you." She said. "I love you. Your my sister. ANd you have dad's goofy nose. And I just couldn't live without that." She said and then laughed a little.

Lillian rubbed at her nose. "..Its not that goofy, is it?" She said, sounding like a whining child.

Jasmine smiled, "Goofy enough to look just like dad's." She said and then laughed a little more. "Weaither you like it or not." She added. "But it's cute." She added. "Makes me smile when I remember."

Lillian smiled a little bit and turned to look out the window. Remember... She thought to herself. She wished that she didn't have to remember. She didn't want to remember her parents sometimes because it pained her so lose them. She didn't want to remember Christmases with mom, dad and Jazz. She didn't want to remember birthday cakes, school plays, or going to the movies with her parents. And she didn't want to remember Isabelle and the way her eyes screamed for Lillian's help. She didn't want to remember Isabelle's puddling blood on the floor. Lillian's hands started to shake and she began to turn pale.

"Lilly...Lilly." Jasmine said as she then looked over at her. "Lillian Are you okay? Talk to me." She said then reached her one hand out and placed it on her arm. "Please. What's wrong? Should I have Uncle pull over?" She asked, getting ready topull the cell phone out to call him. Very worried about here sister.

Jasmine's voice pulled her out of her trance. She shook it off and the color began to return to her skin. Her hands ceased to shake. "No, No... I am fine, lets just get there soon." She told her as calmly as possible.

Jasmine bite her lip and nodded. "okay." She said softly as she let the cell phone go. "Are you sure. There anything I can do. Was it something I said?" She asked, still pretty worried about her sister.

Lillian shook her head. "No, its not your fault. It just...sometimes happens. If my mind wonders, it just happens." She told Jasmine. "It was worse in the psychiatric hospital. It was all I thought about...."

Jasmine sighed. "I'm sorry Lilly." She said softly. "I'm sorry I didn't come visit. Or write. Or anything." She said, gripping hard on to the wheel. "I just. it was kinda hard for me to. And with the rumors. And the words. It took me so long to bounce back. The blamed me. Said I was a bad influence." She said. "I'm just. Sorry I wasn't the sister you deserve." She said, sniffling a little.

Lillian slightly smiled. "You've always been the sister anyone would or could ever want." She said, choking back her tears. "And, I understand."

Jasmine reached over and took her sisters hand into her and smiled at her. "You still deserve better. But thank you." She added and grinned, squeezing her hand softly.

Lillian squeezed her sister's hand in return. Isabelle deserved better.. She thought. "You're welcome, Jazz." She told her sister with a smile. "I am just going to rest my eyes again.."

3 Hours Later

Lillian awoke with a jump as the car turned off infront of their new and beautiful home.

"Morning beautiful." Jasmine said as she then grinned at her sister. She then got ou and looked up at the house and sighed. It was good to be...not on the road. She had pulled into her 'new' place she was to park. And after a week, she would start looking for a college to get into. Staying here, helping her sister start school. Or so that was the plan.

Their aunt and uncle looked at the girls with smiles on their faces. "So, what do you think, ladies?" Aunt B asked them.

"Its...big." Lillian whispered, her eyes sizing up the house.

"yea. Meaning I have my own room?" Jasmine asked and then grinned, walking over and standing next to them and smiling.

"0f course, Jasmine." Her uncle told her, placing a hand on his eldest's niece's shoulder.

Lillian grinned. "And I'll be the first one to pick my room!" She yelled, darting into the house.

"Hey! Not fair! I'm older." Jasmine called out to her as she then ran after her sister into the house.

The Next Day

"You look beautiful for you first day at your new highschool." Beatrice told Lillian, brushing off some lint from her shirt.

"Thanks Aunt B." She told her aunt. "Bye Jazz!" She called out, walking out the front door. She walked the 5 blocks to her school from her house. When she reached the school, she recieved her schedule. She read on her schedule that her first thing to do was to report to her homeroom, which was the classroom of Ms. Kendra Ellin. After several minutes, she finally found her way to Ms. Ellin's classroom. She felt her heart pounding in her chest as she opened the classroom door and entered to big room full of strangers.

Travis Erikson was sitting off to the corner of the callroom as he looked up. THere was rumor there there was going to be a new girl. He grinned then smakced his friend Josh that nudged him. "Sush." He said and then went back to work.

"Well, hello hello. You must be Lillian Koswell. Welcome to Ashland Highschool." Said the beautiful teacher, Ms. Ellin. "Class, this is Lillian. She is from..?"

"Oregon." Lillian said quietly to the teacher.

"Yes, she is from Oregon." Repeated Ms. Ellin. Ms. Ellin pointed to an empty chair beside a very pretty blonde girl. "Take a seat next to Dahlia."

Lillian walked to the desk and sat down. The desk sat right infront of Travis.

"Hey. I'm Travis." Travis said and extented his hand out to the new girl. "Welcome." He added and smiled. It was a sweet simple smile.

Lillian turned around, took his hand and shook it. Her face turned flush as Travis was very attractive. "Well, I am Lillian." She replied sheepishly.

Dahlia eyed them. "You might want to put Lysol on your hand, Lillian." She said in a low voice. "He is quite nasty." She joked coldyly, folding her arms. Dahlia had always secretly been in love with Travis but never had the guts to tell him. Instead, she gave him a hard time.

"Oh shush Dahlia." Travis said and then pulled his hand back. "Your just upset cause her hair is prettier then yours." He grinned and then sat back into his chair. Smiling at them both. Dahlia was a nice friend....when she wanted to be.

Dahlia rolled her eyes and then eyed Lillian's hair. It was quite beautiful..but not near as beautiful as her own golden blonde hair. Or atleast thats what she thought.

Lillian laughed nervously. "Haha, thank she the compliment..I think.." She told Travis quietly.

"Of course." Travis said. "So what you have next?" He asked her softly. He had P.E. then History. "Cuase I have P.E. with Miss Rice." he said, smiling at her.

She looked down at her schedule and was excited to see that her next class was with a Ms. Rice. "I have that class as well!" She told him, slightly embarassed at how excited she sounded.

Dahlia rolled her eyes again and smack her gum around in her mouth. She could already tell that this girl was going to be a problem for her.

Travis smiled. "Good I look forward to seeing you in P.E." He said then toos up as the bell rang for them to switch classes. He then got up and headed out with the rest of the kids. Catching up with some friends in the hall. Dropping off his books in the locker then headed to the gym. He then walked in waved to Ms. Rice then headed into the lockerroom to change for class.

Lillian smiled as she stood up and gathered her things of the desk.

"He is cute, isn't he?" Dahlia asked Lillian, standing up and then sitting back down ontop of Lillian's desk.

Lillian stared at her for a moment. "Um, yeah. He seems really nice." She told her."Are you friends with him?"

Dahlia nodded. "For a very long time." She told her, and then narrowed her eyes."And, no one could replace me in his life, so don't get any ideas."

Lillian's eyes widened, she was taken a back. "Um..okay.."

"Girls, lets go. You are going to be late for your next classes." Ms. Ellin told the two ladies.

Dahlia regained her composure and brushed her hair out of her eyes and put on her best fake smile. "Of course, Ms. Ellin. Have a great day." She told her as she walked to the classroom door. Her mini skirt barely covering any of her skin. She then shot a glance back at Lillian, her "perfect" blonde hair blowing as she walked under an AC vent. And then she disappeared.

Lillian shook it off and walked to her P.E. class. She spotted Travis but pretended like she didn't see him. She sat alone.

Travis nodded and waved to a few of his friend then walked over to her. He was in his basketball shorts and a 'Nike' shirt. "Hey." he said as he sat down next to Lillian. "You mind if I call ya Lily?" he asked. Then looked to Ms. Rice as she got up from her table off to the side of the Gym.

"Morning class." Ms Rice grinned. "Today we're going to finish up the badmitten." She said. "Tomorrow we will start Volleyball." She said and then smiled. "Alright. Team up then head out. I want two on two today." He said, then made a few notes then looked up. "Miss Koswell?" She asked. "Can I speak to you please." She said then smiled and walked over to her table as the kids then got up, grabbed their things then teamed up and started class. She was in her usual running pants and a t-shirt. Her sneakers and then a step counter at her hip.

Lillian gulped a little when Ms. Rice called her down. But, as she stood up, she looked down at Travis and smiled. "Of course, I prefer it actually." She told him, then turning and walking to Ms. Rice's table. "Yes, ma'am?" She asked softly, putting her hair into a ponytail.

"I assume you don't have clothes to change into." Ms Rice said and then looked up at her and smiled. 'There is a basket in my office in the girls lockeroom. Right through there." She said. "Go pick something out, then bring clothes tomorrow." She said. "I'll give you a locker tomorrow as well." She said and smiled. "Oh and pair with Mr. Erikson." She added. 'Travis. Come over here." She called out then smiled. "Please wait on Ms Koswell." She said. "Tell Henry to pair with Jess." She then then nodded.

Travis nodded to the teacher then ran off and told the boy who to pair with the came back and waited for Lily.

Lillian nodded and went and picked up a tee-shirt about a size to big with big blue letters saying: GO ASHLAND CRUSADERS and a pair of size 4 shorts. She slipped them on and put her clothes in her backpack. She then headed back out and ran up to Travis. "Alright, I think I am ready." She said with a smile.

Travis smiled. 'Are school colors look good on you." he said as she stood there in the blue shirt with gold letters on it. 'Come one. Grab a rackett." he said then waved his at her and the orange birdie he had. He then turned and headed for a open spot in a the net.

She took the racket and followed behind him. "Okay, how do I do this?" She said, smiling.

Travis raised a eyebrow. 'You's never player before?" he asked then shrugged. "Okay. Eaither way." he said and then smiled. "I'll go over there, then serve the birdie, just hit it over the net back to me." he said. "okay." He added then grined as he walked over then served it up and over as it went flying over to her.

Lillian didn't have enough time to gather her barings as the birdie flew towards her and bonked her on the head. "Ouch." She said softly, rubbing the top of her head. She blushed in embarassment.

"I'm so so sorry." Traivs said as he then walked up to the net and sighed. "Really. I'm sorry." he said. "I should have given you a little more time. Um, how about you just serveit back to me. okay?" He said then stepped b ack from the net.

Lillian nodded and threw up the birdie and hit it over the net, perfectly. She smiled, excited.

"Good job. Lillian." Dahlia hissed. She was dressed in very short shorts and a tank top that hugged to her breasts tightly. Her long blonde hair hung in a perfect pony tail. She winked at Travis.

Travis smiled and then hit the birdie back to Lilly. Ignoring Dahlia's wink and short short. He was never a leg man. He really had a thing for long nice hair and eyes. And Lilly had those eyes. And hair. He smiled as he stood there watching her. waiting for her to return it.

Lillian slapped the birdie with her racket. "This game is so fun!" She told him, also ignoring Dahlia.

Dahlia rolled her eyes at the two. "Dahlia!" Someone called for her, "You look damn good in those shorts". It was a very handsome guy and two of his friends. Dahlia rolled her eyes again. She hated when got hit on by anyone that wasn't Travis. She ignored them and began stretching legs, as if preparing for an intense work-out. "So," she began. "Did you guys hear about that brutal death of that girl in..Oregon I think it was? Oh, aren't you from Oregon, Lillian?" Dahlia asked playfully.

Lillian froze and her racket fell from her hand and landed on the gym floor with a loud THUD.

"Lillian?" Miss Rice said softly as she heared the thud then walked over. "Everything okay over here?" She asked. "Dahlia. Unroll those shorts and go over there. Leave the new girl alone." She said. "Now be quick about it." She added then smiled to Lillian. "Your doing fine." She said as she walked away.

Travia walked over and smiled to Miss Rice then looked to Lilly. "Are you okay?" He asked to confirm what he hoped was true. "Ignore her." he added. "Dahlia's...one of a kind." He said and smiled at her.

Dahlia had rolled her eyes and began to walk away. "Bitch.." She whispered about the coach. She walked towards the lockers after she shot a glare towards Lillian.

Lillian inhaled and exhaled as she picked up the racket. "Yes, thank you." She told Travis. "I just... I heard all about that death of the Oregon girl and it...was just unnerving for me." She told him, with a forced smile.

"Yea. Living in the same state. It must have been kinda rough." Travis said. " Well we only have a little bit longer of class. You want to try to volley a bit more before she calls for us to go change?" He asked and then smiled at her.

"Sure!" She said excitedly to Travis, pushing the thought of Isabelle to the back of her head.

Dahlia watched them from a far. Her face grew red with anger. No one was going to take Travis away from her. How could they, she was the most beautiful girl in all of Ashland High School. How could Travis chose Lillian over her. She winced slightly, lost in thought. She then grinned as an idea popped into her head and she headed towards the school office.

"Dahlia." Miss Rice called. I did not give you permission to leave." She called out. "If you are here in the Gym. Then stay here in the Gym." She said and then walked out after the student.

Travis smiled and then picked the birdie up and walked back over tot he other side. He then served it up and smiled.

Lillian tapped the birdie with her racket back to him.

Dahlia shot a glare at Ms. Rice. "Get off my back, old woman." She snapped.

"Fine." Miss Rice said. "Office now." She said as she stood there. "Well go. I'll not having you insult me and dustrupt my class." She said. "Now go on." She added.

Travis grinned and then hit it back over the net for her then looked as Miss Rice stood in the archway. "Go change." She called out. Travis smiled then walked over, "If I don't see you before lunch. I'll be sure to save ya a seat." he said before her walked over and set the racket down with the rest of them. The kids all spreading out, girls to the left and boys to the right, as they all went to change back into their clothes.

Dahlia gritted her teeth. "Fine by me, I was heading that way anyway, old hag." She barked.

Lillian sighed contently as she changed back into her regular clothing. She was excited to go meet up with Travis again. She already knew that they'd be great friends. "Travis!" She called out to him from across the gym floor.

Travis looked up and smiled. "Hey. I'll walk you to your next class?" he asked and then smiled. Allt he students waiting for the bell to ring. "I have. History." he said. "You?" He asked.

Lillian looked down at her schedule and frowned. "Oh, I have Biology..." She told him. She stared at the schedule for a bit longer and smiled again. "Oh wait! I think I actually do have history! I misread! I have Biology only on Thursdays." She told him as they walked side by side. From a far, she saw a student she hadn't seen in her other classes. He looked Japanese and a bit stand-offish from the crowd of students. She nodded towards him. "Who is that kid, the one with the... hair." She asked Travis, nodding to the Japanese student.

Travis grinned. "Oh that is my friend Ryou." He said. "Hey!" He called out and then walked over to him and clapped him on the back then turned around and leaned agianst the wall which he was standing next to. "Ryou-kun this is Lillian." He said and grinned. "She's the new girl." He then added.

"Oh hi, pleasure to meet you." Ryou said bowing slightly, his voice carried a heavy Japanese accent. "I guess you already heard of me from Travis? So what grad are you in?" he asked trying to be social and not seem like an idiot.

Lillian smiled. "Oh, I am in the same grade as Travis, I am a senior." She told him.

travis smiled at then both and then heard the bell. "Come one Lilly. We're going to be late if hwe don't rush now." He said. "Catch you later Ryou-kun." He called back and then took Lilly's hand and then hurried down the halls to Mr. Shaffer's class.

"Okay." He said to them before heading at a quick pace to his classroom. Hoping to make it in on time since he had miscalculated on how much time he actually had.
