Chapter OneRaven and Kori are neighbors. Kori asked Raven to go to her house to prepare to go to Aunt Logan's party. She was reluctant at first, but Kori dragged her all along and finally got her to the enthusiastic girl's room.
"Kori, are you done with the stupid make up yet? We're late for whoever's party," said the annoyed teenager. She had a pair of gorgeous purple eyes and shoulder-length purple hair. She was wearing a tight black shirt with denim shorts.
"Her name is Aunt Logan, friend Raven. I have to make my eyelashes more curvy with the help of the mascara," Kori replied. She has long crimson hair, and she was wearing a pink vest and jeans.
"Who the heck is Aunt Logan and why on earth are we going to her house?" Raven said impatiently. Why did she drag me along anyway?
"She is holding a party. Friend Garfield is her son and we have known each other since the grade six. She called me a few days ago; she wanted me to be in her party. She said that my friends are welcome as well."
"Whatever, Kori, but why do I have to go too? I don't know this Garfield guy," said Raven coldly.
"No! You must come with me friend Raven, I have already informed Aunt Logan that you will be coming to her party. And I heard Dick is going to be there to, and I want to you help me, when I talk to him I am always lost for the words."
Of course…Kori's little crush. Just because I can speak to him without having my tongue tied doesn't mean I am good with boys.
Raven refused at first, but her friend looked at her with cute, puppy eyes, so she finally gave in.
"Fine. Only once."
Kori's face brightened, she grabbed her bag and pulled Raven out of the door.
After a ten minute walk, they arrived at Aunt Logan's house. It was about five stories high, and was painted royal blue in colour.
This house sure is huge.
"Kori! Am I glad to see you! Look at you, dear, you have grown a lot! You're turning into a beautiful lady!"
A blonde woman wearing a frilly apron exclaimed happily, ruffling Kori's hair.
"Thank you Aunt Logan, this is my friend I told you about."
"Raven, look at your pretty hair. Purple, unique, yes…make yourselves at home, girls.You're early, only Victor has arrived."
"Yeah yeah thanks," Raven replied, not the slightest bit happy about coming. She could be reading, writing or being in the library, her weekly routines. She was starting to regret coming when she saw a blonde boy running down the stairs.
"Garfield! Visitors!" Aunt Logan shouted.
"I know, Rita. Comin'!" Said a voice.
Nice hair.
Hey, what? Nice hair...? Stupid me.
"Friend Garfield!" Kori said happily, giving him a bone-crushing hug.
"Yes…nice…to see you, Kori…You can let go now," he said, trying to shove her off.
"This is Raven, my friend."
Garfield looked at her.
"Nice name. I love birds," he said, wigging his eyebrow.
Raven looked as if she didn't care, but she did.
"Whatever, thanks anyway," she said curtly.
He IS gorgeous, and he is quite nice too……maybe I could talk to him!
What? Who said that?
"So, you---" Just as Raven wanted to say something, someone interrupted.
"Dude, are you gonna come and play or what?" came a voice.
"Excuse me ladies, but I have to play some of my computer games, talk to you later!"
This left the girls and Aunt Logan at the door step.
"Oh I'm sorry girls, come in and have a drink," the woman said, leading them into the living room. The room was luxurious. It had a royal blue carpet and oak wooden chairs and furnitures. She put two glasses of orange juice on the table and motioned them to sit down while flipping through the newest copy of Cosmo Girl (Raven was looking around.)
"All Garfield cares is computer, games, and animal rights. He doesn't know about studying and,dating," his mother sighed, seeing the page about 'Boys and Girls---how to deal with each other?',
WHAT! Garfield doesn't date!
Who the heck are you? Stop.
"Rit, stop telling all these white lies or you'll have black teeth!" shouted Garfield from downstairs.
"He has sensitive ears, you know," she whispered to the girls. Then she turned and yelled back,
"It's the truth, honey. You don't care about girls."
"Ha, you're wrong again, woman! Who can resist me, the good looking lad? Every girl must be mad to not fall for me!"
"But friend Garfield, I have not fallen for you," said Kori innocently, looking up from her magazine.
"Well here are two girls here, you didn't attract them!" said Aunt Logan, chuckling.
"Huh, Star has a crush on--"
"Dick."
"Please friend Victor, please do not speak of it in front of friend Dick," said Kori, blushing faintly.
"And this girl I've just met…whoever it is. Rachel?"
"Raven," Raven said. She suddenly became a little bit angry.
What? How could he---
Just shut it!
"Yeah, Raven, sorry," said Garfield from upstairs.
"See! You even forgot her name, like you could attract girls…anyway I'm off to prepare food, girls, you could go up the room and play for a while! Have fun!" said Aunt Logan.
They went up the stairs and found the boys playing video games.
"Booya! I told you, you won't win!" an American-African boy said.
"Dude, no fair!"
"Friends, do you wish to play a game?" asked Kori.
"I really am not in the mood of---" Raven began.
"Sure! Let's play Truth or Dare!" said Garfield enthusiastically.
Somehow she didn't think she would have fun after all.
