` is thinking'

"is talking"

Lyrics by Jennifer Love Hewitt

Last Time:

"Hello!" Katie cried as she opened the door to see the man. (who is Ray and I will call him that, NOT John)

"Hi! I'm John!" The man replied as she greeted him. He was the man she had danced with, the man she would never forget. Yet, she did not know that. "I know. And I'm Katie." The girl giggled and shook her head. The vibration made her locket swish around from side to side.

"Where did you get that?" "A friend, okay?!" "Okay, girl." She calmed down. "Sorry, I'm really not normally like this." No prob." Katie winked and stared at him suspiciously. "You look really familiar." "So do you." "Those eyes." She peered right into them, putting her face near his. Ray blushed. "I've seen them before. But where?" Katie pondered. Ray blushed even more. `Why is she doing this to me?' He thought. "It's fun, that's why." "How did you know what I was thinking?" "I just did, okay?" Katie winked at him.

Ray checked his watch. "Nice meeting you, Katie." "Same here, John." He shuddered at the name. The fake name. "See ya." He opened the door and left the house. "Bye!" Katie waved and giggled.

<Ray's PoV>

I walked into my apartment, and switched back on my computer. I looked out my window and my eyes widened. Katie was dancing around her apartment wearing her bra and underwear! She had a Walkman in her hands. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and saw me. Katie blushed and shut her drapes. A few minutes later, she opened it again.

But she wasn't dancing around in her underwear. `Why did I sound disappointed?' I asked myself. `Maybe cause you like her.' An evil sounding voice said in my head. `Ray does not!' Mariah's voice echoed in my head. `He likes me!' I blushed. I had a picture of all of my friends on my desk. It had Tyson, Kai, Kenny, Max and the White Tigers in it.

*Flashback*

"Come on guys, let's take a picture!" Mariah shrieked. "We're about to split up!" "Okay." Kenny rolled his eyes. Max held up a camera. "I've got one." He grinned and stood next to Kenny. "If it doesn't involve food.. I'll cry." " Tyson ran over. Kai slowly walked over. The rest of the gang stood next to each other as Tyson's grandpa took a photo.

*End Flashback*

"I'll never forget that!" I said to myself. I looked over at Katie's window again. She was dancing to "Can I Go Now" by Jennifer Love Hewitt.

What's the point of trying to meet you in the middle
You got your point of view
There's nothing I can do
Can't change your mind
Can't leave it all behind
You're living in the past
We talk and talk
Discuss for hours
About how it should be
Why is it all me
Don't wanna fight
Don't wanna waste my time
Baby just can't relax
I'm moving on, moving on

Can I go now
Say what you have to say
Happy you've got your way
There's nothing to discuss
Can I go now
Giving your point of view
Say what you want it too
So what's the point of love
Can I go now
Oh say what you have to say
Happy you've got your way
What is to discuss

What's the point of trying to reach compromise
When you're the only judge and jury
What's the story
I can't make you see that I'm not always wrong
I can't make you right
It's time to move on
I'm moving on

Let's go lead a day upon my banks beyond my way
Sure don't needs to stay
Well I'm not welcome anyway
Well that's alright and that's OK yeah

There's nothing left to do
Maybe I'm not for you
So why don't you let it go

Tell me what's the point of all this
Talk, talk, talk, talk
We could go day and night
Still wouldn't make it right

Can I go now
Say what you have to say
Happy you've got your way
There's nothing to discuss
Can I go now
You're giving your point of view
Say what you want it too
So what's the point of love
Can I go now
I'll be on my way
Let's call it a day
Can I go now?
Now, why don't you let it go
Can I go now?

Katie giggled as she spotted Ray looking at her for the second time. This time he began to stare. "Silly, John!" She opened her window and grinned at him. "See something you like?" Katie shouted at the top of her lungs. Ray opened his window and yelled back, "NO!" But he really was thinking, yes.

All of a sudden, a few other windows opened and heads popped out. "What's going on out here?" An old man shouted. "Nothing!" Katie's face turned red and she ducked. Ray's eyes widened and he shut the curtains.

Re: Why You Little…

*censored* Argh, John, that was so embarrassing! I'm still blushing from the thought of it. How about you?

Re: WHY YOU LITTLE…

No, I'm not. Oi, tomorrow, can I come over for dinner? Cause' I haven't exactly moved all of my stuff in yet and I'm not a good cook.

Katie laughed and ran over to her window and shouted, "Okay, John!" Ray opened his window and yelled back, "See ya tomorrow then, Katie!"
