The Research Chapter Two

Kilgore waking up got redressed in the clothes Nora gave him last night and headed down to Nora's house. Just as he climbed down and started in the right direction, both he and Nora collided with each other in their rush. Grasping both her arms Kilgore managed not to knock Nora completely to the ground. After getting her balance back both Nora and Kilgore started to apologize at the same time. Laughing, they both walk into the house together. Smelling the delicious aroma coming from the kitchen Kilgore felt starved. "Smells delicious, Nora." "Thanks. I hope you like the pancakes and bacon once you taste them."

Stuffing his mouth full of the delicious food before him and gobbling down his orange juice, Nora starts laughing so hard. Swallowing his food, Kilgore looks up at Nora wondering why she was laughing and what was so funny. He also found himself liking the way she laughed. "It.is like you haven't had anything to eat for a year by the way you ate", explained Nora. Laughing too, Kilgore helped Nora with the dishes."Well maybe it's because your cooking was just really really good", he whispered to her. Feeling nervous Nora decided to change the topic.

"Okay today you and I are going to the public library to research time travel and about your people. Maybe there is a way to get you back in time to your correct time period. But if not you are always welcomed to stay here." "Thank you for letting me know that I am welcomed to stay here. But I need to find a way back to help my people and I need to know my father made it alive." "I know. I am sorry." "You have nothing to be sorry for Nora. You have been an enormous help and a wonderful friend." Then we shall hurry and try our hardest to get you back home, Kilgore."

Smiling, Nora felt a tad bit better but would miss him shall they find a way to get him back home. If they could find a way to get Kilgore back to his people Nora was going to have start planning a way to explain Kilgore to her parents. Grabbing the keys and his arm, they head out to the public library to start their mission in finding out how time travel works and about Kilgore's people. Kilgore could not believe his eyes when he saw cars and buses as they walked to the library's main doors. The building was huge and old still having it's original stones in place holding up through all the years of worn. Kilgore ended up asking Nora a million questions on this and that and how or why. Before going through the doors Nora warned him that he must whisper only. Otherwise they will be kicked out and not able to get him home.

Silently Kilgore walked into the library with Nora. Heading into the small computer lab Nora and Kilgore start their research. As Nora searches time travel on google search engine, Kilgore is distracted when a bunch of girls that Nora goes to school with walk by checking him out. Waving at him and giggling the girls walk on by. With his tall height and broad shoulders and dark hair and green eyes, Kilgore was a guy every girl dreamed of. Nora noticing her classmates flirting with Kilgore felt a pain of jealousy swallow her up. So, she decided to interrupt Kilgore's gaping stare at the girls asked him what year he was from even though she knew what the year was. Still being ignored and super jealous, Nora stepped on his foot. "Ouch. That was not nice Nora." "And neither is ignoring the person trying to help you get back home and too busy watching those girls walk by." Kilgore noticing a touch of jealousy smiled at Nora. "Jealous?" "What?? No, I am not jealous, just you shouldn't ignore a friend trying to help you." "Okay. I am sorry Nora. I should have been paying more attention especially since you have been kind enough to help me out." Seeing her cheeks turn color, Kilgore couldn't help noticing how pretty Nora was. Instead of telling her, Kilgore decided to keep the thought to himself. It was cute watching her get jealous even though they hardly knew each other
