Chapter 1 Annoying phone calls
"Hey its Raven, I'm either busy or I'm ignoring you, leave a message and we'll see which it is"
Raven Michales let the message play as she continued on with her work-out. She was used to the phonecalls interrupting her busy days. There wasn't a day where she had to be somewhere or do something. When your a Diva for the worlds biggest wrestling company busy days were the norm and you pretty much had to get used to it. Her phone went off again and this time she answered it just to make the annoying noise go away. Shifting black strands and silver curls from her face she flipped up the top.
"Hello Raven speakin" She had a habit of leaving the G off some of her words, it drove her father crazy.
"I'm starting to think your ignoring me Rae" Her father Shawn said cheerfully. His version of saying hello. It seemed to change everytime he rung her. Since retiring he had made the effort to ring her as much as possible.
"No Dad, just busy" Raven held the phone between her shoulder and ear while she put her gym gear away.
"Right now?"
"No just in general"
"Well that comes with the territory, you get used to it"
"I already am, so what do you want to talk about this week?"
"How about the fact that you have been in this company for almost three years and you still haven't made an effort to make a friend" It was his favourite arguement. His daughter didn't make friends well, she preferred to be left alone.
"I'm here to do a job not to make friends or be the wwe bike" Raven said rolling her eyes. She didn't see the big deal, so she didn't have a friend in the back. She was pleasant enough she just didn't like to mix any more than she had too. Some called it shyness, Shawn called it being anti-social.
"Rae you allowed to make friends"
"Really? See I didn't know that"
"If you made an effort" Shawn started, it was lucky that he couldn't see Raven making a chattering mouth signal because that really would of annoyed him.
"Dad whats the point? Eventaully they hear the past and then suddenly I'm not good enough anymore. They judge me before they even know me so why not just stay away and leave them to think what they want"
"Just give them a chance Raven, there not all judgemental bitches"
"No thanks, I'm happier being left alone"
"Are you?"
"Yes. Now I should go I have a photoshoot to get ready for"
"Alright I'll let you go but think about what I said"
"Uh-huh. Bye Dad"
Raven knew he meant well but she still felt that she was right. There were too many skeletons in her closet and no one took to them kindly, it was better for everyone if the freak was left alone.
