Raven has arrived to the date. She finds Devon sitting there, waiting for her and sees a rose in his hand. She smiles and walks up to the table where he was sitting and sits down.

Raven

"Hey Devon. Is that flower for me? Oh, I'll take that," I said. I reached over to take the flower, but he refused to give it to me.

"No Raven. This flower's not for you. It's for the waitress." Devon saw the waitress come up to our table and gave her the flower. The waitress blushed, gave us the menus, and quickly walked away. I got a little mad, partly because I was his date, not the waitress.

"So Raven. Tell me about yourself," Devon said, while looking through his menu.

"What's there to say about me?," I said. I really did not feel like talking to him. Instead, I felt like going to the mall with Chelsea. I wondered if she was still up for the offer.

"Raven. I was just joking around about the flower thing. Here, I have a more prettier one for you." Devon didn't have one, but a whole bouquet of flowers for me. He handed them to me and I smelled them. They smelled great and I smiled. At that moment, I felt guilty about wanting to leave.

Goodness! I wasn't getting anywhere with the darn paper so I decided to leave it aside and watch some t.v. When I turned the t.v. on, I saw a psychic hotline commercial and instantly, I thought of Rae.

'She must be having a lot of fun with Devon,' I thought. But then again, she would be having even more fun with me at the mall! I mean, there was a one-day sale on everything! How could she not want to go?

I turned off the t.v. and went straight to my computer. I sat down on my computer chair and turned the screen on. I logged in and then turned on my Instant Messaging service. I saw that Raven had her away message on:

"hey ya'll .. im jus haviin a good timee withh Devon .. lols .. leave sum lovee, loveesss 3"

Wow, what an away message. I decided to IM her telling her we needed to talk:

chelsaaayyszz - hey rae. well, i think we really need to talk. seriously. call me when ur done with ur date. thanks. i think we can still keep our friendship.

Afterwards, I IMed a few more people and then turned off my Instant Messaging service. I took out my SAT word book, since the SATs weren't too far away.

Hey guys. Keep on reading and reviewing (and thanks to those who did) because my next chapter is going to be the one where Raven gets a vision. Happy holidays!
