The Forseer

Elaina

Did I do the right thing? I am yearning to get too know him and this is my ticket in. But how can I let him on? My past is horrible. Would he be able to understand? Can I let someone into my heart or life?

I guess all I have to do is get through the rest of the day. I can't wait till 6 o'clock. I feel this weird bond between us and hate when we are apart. Maybe then I'll get some answers.

...

Later that day at lunch I walk Raymer through the lunch line and to my group's table. I make introductions which are Cherry and Zak my two closest friemds. once we are safely seated at the table. Raymer immediately turns to them after I'm done speaking and insists they call him Ray.

I never had any siblings so when my parents died Cherry and Zak were my family. They are my family. I want Raymer to be part of it too. Lost in my thoughts I immediately snap back to reality when I hear Zak and Raymer laugh in unison.

"Elaina I don't know where you found this guy but he is a riot." Says Zak in between burst of laughter and gasps ofor air.

I shrug it off and jokingly say: "He is just some new guy I promised Mrs.Dabree I'd show around."

"Well I vote that we keep him in the group. I'm tired of being put numbered."

Raymer turns to look at me as if asking me permission.

"Ray, if you think you can handle us then by all means welcome."

"I'm sure I can manage."

Zak and Cherry are in deep conversation with each other after that and they are oblivious to everything around them.

Next thing I know Raymer leans over and speaks these words low enough only I can hear: "I'll put up with anything just to be around you."

My heart speed up and i get butterflies in !my stomach.

Then he leans even closer and whispers: "Sweet Elaina you and only you can call me Raymer."

I can't help but smile and at that moment I know tat Raymer feels the same way I do. Like I am special to hi!m in some way... Some how.
