APRIL 7, 1860

Lilly decided to go out riding. While ridding she came across Kathleen who just happened to be out riding, too. Looking up Kathleen saw Lilly riding towards her. As Lilly got closer Kathleen smiled and waved to her.

Lilly waved and rode closer to her. Reaching her Lilly said, "Would you like to ride with me Kathleen?" Kathleen nodded and mounted up. The two of them rode off together.

As they rode Lilly said, "Kathleen can I ask you something?"

Kathleen looked at her and replied, "Sure you can. What is it?"

Lilly licked her lips and said, "I'm at a lost as to what to do. I like Javier, but I like Jimmy, too."

Kathleen smiled and answered, "Well I have seen the way Javier looks at you. He seems to like you a lot. Jimmy is hard to get close to."

Lilly thought for a minute and nodded in agreement. She knew now how hard Jimmy was to get close to. He always had a smile for her, but Javier always had smiles and a friendly hug for her. And she liked being around him. Turning to Kathleen she said, "You�re right, Kathleen. Jimmy does put walls up around himself, and Javier is sweet and kind. I do enjoy being around him."

Kathleen smiled and said, "Seems to me you like him. I think he�s good for you."

They rode till they got back to the schoolyard. As Kathleen dismounted, Lilly said, "Thanks Kathleen. You were a big help."

"Anytime I can help, I am more than willing to. You�re welcome. I enjoyed the ride."

Lilly smiled and replied, "You�re welcome. I enjoyed it, too. We�ll have to do it again some time." Kathleen nodded, and then with a wave Lilly rode off towards town.
