….
"Shoot," Raven muttered under her breath. "Late again." Raven hadn't even made it to her locker by the time the second bell rang. Now she was ten minutes late to the class with the scariest teacher. Her mind filled with scenarios of what might happen if she gets caught, or worse, what Mr. Logan would say when she got to class. She only had one hallway to go until-
She bumped in to an unexpected figure. "I'm so sorry!" She scrambled to get to her feet, but quickly stopped when she saw who the person was.
She had bumped into Erik freaking Lehnsherr. The Erik Lehnsherr who was the most popular guy in school. The Erik Lehnsherr who every girl in school was in love with and every guy wanted to be. The Erik Lehnsherr who didn't have to go to any of Ms. Grey's required German classes because he already spoke German fluently. The Erik Lehnsherr who planned last year's senior prank, even though he was only a junior. So to sum it all up, Erik Lehnsherr was god. And Raven had just knocked him to the ground.
He picked himself off the ground. "I'm fine. Do you need help?" He held out his hand.
She attempted to say thank you but it came out as: "Mphmtnku."
"What?"
"Thanks." She grabbed his hand and stood up.
"You're Charles' sister, right?" he asked. "Raven, is it?"
"Is he really calling me his sister now?"
"I guess so," he chuckled. "I'm Erik."
"I know." She smiled. "Uh, I mean, I'm Raven."
"I know." He smirked. "See you around Raven."
…
Raven and Angel walked through the lunch line.
"So I heard you hooked up with Erik!" Angel said excitedly.
"What? We ran into each other. Who said we hooked up?"
"The whole school has been talking about it."
"O.K., so I fell and he helped me up. But now it has turned into a trip to the backseat of his car?" Raven was perplexed.
"Is that what happened?"
"Uh, no," she said sternly.
"Huh, so you're the reason I didn't have a chess partner today." Charles sauntered up to Raven.
"No!" She groaned. "I ran into him in the hall. That was it!"
"That's not what the school is saying."
"Well, the school is wrong!" Raven was annoyed beyond measure. "And when did you start calling me your sister?"
Charles opened his mouth to say something, but the lunch lady cut him off. "That will be five forty," she said.
Raven paid the lunch lady and stormed off into the cafeteria, only to run into Erik again. This time was different. This time was worse. Instead of knocking him to the ground, she spilled milk all over his shirt.
"I am so sorry," she gasped.
"Is this going to happen every time I see you?" he chuckled, taking a napkin and wiping the milk off his shirt.
"Here, let me do it." She set her tray down on a nearby table and started to wipe his shirt with the napkin.
And that's when Angel wolf-whistled.
Could this day get any worse? Raven thought.
And as always, it did.
….
Cliff hanger alert!
I should probably rename this: Raven is constantly perplexed.
Ha. Just kidding.
Reviews are love!
