Chapter 49

''Will you have lunch with me tomorrow?'' Lily asked Harold. ''I still have some problems to show you, so that we can work on them together,'' she added.

''Okay. I will come by your school to pick you up when it's time,'' Harold replied.

''What time would be convenient for you?'' he asked Lily.

''Lunch is by 11:30 until 1:30,'' Lily replied. ''So you can come between that time frame,'' she said to Harold.

''I'd come before 12. By 11:30, you can start walking to the gate,'' Harold told Lily.

''Okay,'' Lily said with a big and satisfied grin across her face.

The next day at school, Lily turned in her assignment with confidence. When they were on recess, Jasper looked for, and spotted Lily by herself, loitering around her class, trying to stall until it was time for Harold to come and take her out for lunch.

''Lily,'' Jasper called on her from afar, and hurried up to meet Lily, who was smiling knowingly and sheepishly at him.
