Chapter 1:

Raven could already hear her name being called out to go up and take her diploma. "Raven Baxter! Class of 2006!" Only two more months and she would be out of high school for good. She had planned ever since the eighth grade to become a fashion designer. But before she would start her career, she would take her two best friends on a road trip. She wasn't sure where. In fact, she had the craziest idea to just drive until the car ran out of gas. But she wasn't sure that her imagination was exactly as realistic as she wanted it to be. All she wanted to do was------

"Rae!" Eddie snapped waving his hand in Raven's face.

She found herself jolting back to reality. Leaning up against her locker, she shifted her weight to one side and looked at Eddie puzzled.

"Oh, uh…yeah."

"Rae, the two minute bell rang a minute ago. And you're just standing there staring at your books. You know how Mr. Truman is when someone's late for class."

"I know, I know. It's just, I find myself thinking about our graduation. All the time! I just can't wait Eddie! I want to see the world! I want to experience new things. I want to---

"Well you can do all that in Mrs. Eisenhower's third block class. Now come on Rae, let's get to class!"

"Ok! Ok." Raven sighed and shut her locker. She smiled once again thinking about her big plans for the future.

"Rae!" Eddie snapped again.

"I'll be there in a minute. You go on ahead."

Eddie rolled his eyes and ran to class.

Raven didn't care that the two minute bell had just rung. There was only two months left of school. How much trouble could she possibly get into in two months? The teacher would understand…………..

(Two minutes after the two minute bell)

"I'm sorry Mr. Truman! It was an Emergency! I promise you that it won't happen again."

"Taking your time going to class is not an emergency Miss Baxter. I am aware that school is almost out, but may I remind you that school is still in session for the next two months. And those two months you are expected to still follow the rules. I will see you in after school detention."

So, maybe it 'was' possible for Raven to get in her sticky situations two months before school was out. But after school detention wasn't that bad. She had it several times before. And besides, in two months, there would be no more detention! Unless…they gave it in college. Which she highly doubted.

Raven tip toed to her seat and sat down. She glanced over at Eddie who rolled his eyes. She couldn't wait until school ended because then she wouldn't have to take Mr. Truman's boring biology class anymore. "Yes!" She thought to herself.

Raven sighed and opened a fashion magazine.

(During detention)

Raven shifted in her seat a dozen times before she decided to flip open another fashion magazine.

"Psst!"

Raven turned to see who was practically spitting in her ear.

"Do you have a spare pencil that I could use?"

To Raven's surprise; the hottest guy she had ever seen was sitting right behind her, asking for a pencil!

"I—uh…yeah." Raven handed the guy a pencil.

Raven could not help but stare. The guy smirked.

"Why is a beautiful lady like yourself in detention?"

Raven giggled, perhaps a little louder than she expected to.

"Um, I was late for class." Rave said exasperated.

"Ahhh, I see. Ya know what? You look really familiar. Have I seen you before?"

"I—I don't think so." Raven smiled. He called me beautiful! She thought to herself.

"Do you possibly know my cousin?"

"Who's your cousin?" Raven said shyly.

"Eddie."

"Eddie? Of course! He's like 'one' of my best friends! Wait a minute…Eddie has a cousin?"

"Yes, and that would be me. I knew you looked familiar. I saw you talking to him earlier. Oh, I'm Chad."

"Well, hi Chad. I'm Raven. I don't know why Eddie didn't introduce us."

"Oh, that's because I'm visiting from Alabama. I'm only here for another week. I might be moving down here during the summer for college. I am just touring the high school for a couple of weeks."

"Really? Well, you should. I mean, because they have some good…colleges down here."

Raven cleared her throat.

"Well, thanks for the pencil, Raven. I'll have to have Eddie bring me by to your house some time." Chad smiled and winked.

"Oh—ok. That would be nice." Raven smiled.

Raven acted cool on the outside. But inside she was a volcano erupting. Oh my gawd! Eddie has one hot cousin! She thought to herself. Man, I wish Chelsea was back from Florida because she is missing out on everything!

(After class)

Raven ran up to Eddie and smacked him in the back of his head with a magazine.

"Ay! What was that for?" Eddie winced.

"Why didn't you tell me you had a cousin? A 'hot' cousin!"

"I was going to!" Eddie rubbed his head.

"When? The day he was leaving!" Raven teased.

"Rae, you are 'not' dating my cousin."

"Why not? And who said I was going to? All I said was he was attractive…and sweet…and….oh my gosh Eddie!"

Eddie grimaced.

" He's my cousin and if you were to date him then things wouldn't be as tight between me and him anymore. Plus, he's leaving in a week."

"Alright, alright. He probably doesn't like me that way anyways."

"Trust me, you're very wrong." Eddie shook his head and chuckled.

"What? He does! Eddie! Please tell me!"

"He thinks you're cute! Ok? Gosh! Females these days."

"No way! Really?"

"Yes, really!"

Raven jumped up and down and tugged on Eddie's sleeve.

"Eddie….."

"No! I am 'not' going to fix you two up. Man, I wish Chelsea was here. Or, maybe not. I can't handle 'one' girl as it is."

"Come on Eddie. I'm your best friend…"

"Don't remind me." Eddie rolled his eyes.

Raven gave Eddie the puppy dog eyes. Eddie sighed.

"Ok, ok. But please keep your womanly thoughts about him to yourself."

Raven squealed.

"Thank you thank you thank you!"

"I'll give him your number. But you are on your own from there on."

"I will so pay you back. I promise." Raven smiled big.

"You better." Eddie chuckled.

Raven hugged Eddie and ran off. He watched her until she was out of site. He may or may not have made a big mistake. He decided not to let it bother him. He looked at his watch and walked to class.

Authors note: Hey guys! I hope you all like my first chapter. It's shorter than my usual writing. But the next chapter is coming really soon! The next chapter will be more interesting too. I just have to warm up and get used to writing fan fiction again. I just have to do my house chores, and then I will be back to typing. I promise! If you are confused on anything, please tell me! And please review! Thanx! 
