"Oh, I was actually on time, enough to hear your wonderful words ma'am!" she replied. The day went by and he found his self in his grandparents house. "How's first day kid? Killed some chics today?", yelled grandpa Al. "You mean chickens?", Ray smiling. "Speaking of chickens, the chicken's ready. Let's go to the kitchen, your grandmother is waiting for us.", he replied. The smell of the roasted chicken made the stomaches of the hungry men growling. "There you are boys. I made a roasted chicken for Ray's homecoming", a smiling grandmother Nora eagerly saying. "What are we waiting then, let's eat!", Al hailed. The boys sat down while Nora was getting the glasses. "So your mom called...", Al looking at Ray. "She still feels bad, with the effect of the divorce to you, she wants to make it up to you.". Ray stood up and said, "She should have thought of that long ago. I think I'm done eating dinner".

Days went by so fast, it seems that the week lasted for an hour but not for Raymund. His grandparents doesn't go with modernization. They don't have an internet connection but at least they have a television. One Saturday night, he planned to go out. He was wearing a blue sweater and a skinny pants as he was going down the stairs. Ray asked his grandfather Al, "Can I borrow the car? I wanna take a look at the town for a while. Don't worry, Carl's going with me.". His grandfather looked at him and paused for a moment, "Alright then..". Ray went out and called Carl, "Carl I'm picking you up in five minutes". "We're going out?" Carl asked. "Obviously!", Ray shouted. After five minutes, just as Ray said, he got to Carl's place. There he found Carl outside, wearing a suit and tie. "What are you wearing?", he exclaimed. "We we're going out right? I figured I could wear a suit myself, chics dig it!", Carl replied. "Whatever dude, get in!", he shouted. As they were driving in the road the lights of the town was visible. They reached the town and head out to the diner. They sat and grabbed the menu. "I would like to have a burger with large fries and a coke.", Carl exclaimed. Ray surprised replied, "You sure do know how to eat big bestfriend!". Both of them was laughing and Ray finally said, "I'll have coffee please, thank you.". Carl stared at him and said, "Only coffee? But why?". "Well, you're paying right?". Ray replied with laughter. Carl shook his head and said, "As always!". It was already 9:30 p.m, the two decided to call it a night. As they went on the road, they passed a car parked on the side of the road. There, they saw a girl having trouble fixing her flat tires. As Ray slowly stopped the car, he saw a very familiar face, wearing a rockstar outfit with make-up.It was the girl who sneaked on the first day of class. Ray rolled down the windows and said, "Is everything alright miss?". The girl looked up and replied, "I'm having trouble with this last tire but I can manage.". Carl looked outside and saw that it was Margrette Robinson, "I think that's not a very good idea dude! That's Margrette Robinson, you don't wanna get involved.". Ray smiled and said to himself, "So Margrette Robinson is her name then". He curiously asked Carl, " What's with her dude?". "Nothing, she's just not the type you don't wanna be with.", Carl explained. "Come on! How bad can she be.", he replied. Ray went outside the car. "I think you're putting the tire in the wrong order, I'll help you with that!". "Ok then, it seems you really are an expert to this.", Margrette replied. Ray grabbed the tire and turned it over, lifted it and then there! He fixed it. "There you go miss", Ray smiled. "Wow! You really are an expert.", Margrette replied. "And you're a ninja, I saw you sneaked on the class one time", he replied. "Good observer.", she said clapping her hands. "I am Margrette Robinson, you can call me Marge.", she added. "I'm Raymund Dawson, new guy in town.", he replied. Margrette went inside her car and turned the engine, she rolled down the window and said, "Thank you for the help Raymund, see you around.". They stared for a moment and she finally drove down the road. Carl honked the car and yelled, "Come on dude!". Ray got into the car and drove, he dropped Carl to his house and went back home. "So how was your little tour Ray?", his grandfather said sitting on the couch. "It was great actually, thanks for the keys pops!", he replied. He went upstairs and finally laid on the bed. He can't stop thinking about what happened back there on the road. He finds himself again wondering about the girl.
