Chapter 3: Party
I sat in the back seat of the car so I didn't have to be next to my uncle. To tell you the truth, I was rather embarrassed and confused about what just happened.
"How much did those brats tell you?" MY uncle said as he stopped at a red light.
"I don't know what you mean." I replied nonchalantly.
He gribbed the steering wheel tighter and glared at me through the rear view mirror. "You know exactly what I mean! What did they tell you about what you are?"
"So you knew?" I asked purposely avoiding the question. The light changed and my uncle sped off.
"I don't want you near any of those damn kids you hear me?"
I laughed. "You want me to listen to you? What will you do, take me out of school? Nothing you do can possibly affect me but so much without it backfiring at you."
"How about you find some place else to live? Move in with one of your new friends perhaps?" My uncle said sarcastically.
I pretended to think it over. "Alright uncle, I'll listen to you. I promise to never talk to those dreadful people ever again."
He nodded satisfied and I almost rolled my eyes. 'If he believed that, he was dumber than I thought.' I remarked.
We got home and my Aunt rushed out to meet us.
I stepped out of the car and noticed she had her hair pinned up with a pretty flower hair pin. She also wore a black dress that fit her perfectly and ended just above her ankles.
"Why are you all dressed up?" I asked suspiciously.
"You didn't tell her?" Kayla asked my uncle.
I turned to look at my uncle and noticed he was wearing his best suit. 'How did I miss that?'
"Come dear let's get you dressed up shall we?" Kayla said taking my hand and rushing into the house. She seemed extremely happy about something.
"What's going on?" I asked as she pulled me into my room.
"My friends are coming over with their families and we're going to have dinner together. I haven't seen them in so long I'm so excited! I want to show of my precious little neice so you get to wear the new dress I bought for you this morning!" Kayla said as she sat me down. She closed my room door and took a dress of the back of the door. She removed the covering and showed it to me.
"No." I said looking at the dress wide eyed.
She grinned. "Yes!"
The dress looked pretty. I was black and ended a few inches past my knees with a dark red going across the very bottom of the dress.
I looked in the vanity mirror. "I think you got the wrong size."
"Oh did I? Well you can't tell, just work with it we don't have time to go back to the store!"
I sighed and she had me turn away from the mirror as she did me hair. I wasn't allowed to see my hair until she was done. She gave me some red lip gloss and didn't bother applying a lot of makeup since she knew how much I hated it.
"Okay now look!" She said as she led me to the full length mirror.
I smiled. I looked beautiful. My hair was pulled back and pinned up with a gold hairpin and my rather long curly bangs fell into my face in a cute way.
"Well what do you think?" Kayla asked.
"I think you're awesome." I said giving her a quick hug.
Her grin widened and we heard a knock at the door. "Kayla, they're here!"
"Oh my gosh! Raven dear, put on the heals your uncle picked out for you, they're under your bed!" And with that she left the room.
I shook my head. There was nothing I hated more than walking around in high heals, but I was willing to suffer if it would make Kayla happy, that is unless my uncle picked them out.
I looked at my converse and frowned. They wouldn't go well with the dress, so I decided to put on my knee length boots. They didn't take away the beauty or elegance my aunt had worked hard to give me, but they also gave me a bit more of a gothic look.
'Oh well.' I thought opening my door and going down stairs. The sound of laughter echoed through the house and I paused halfway down the stairs and looked at all the people.
There were three girls and two boys all around my age. All but one seemed to be enjoying themselves. The boy who had previously looked annoyed to be here looked up at me curiously.
"Raven!" I heard my aunt call. I tore my gaze away fr om the boy and continued down the steps. Kayla looked at my boots and sighed a small smile tugging at her lips.
"I told you she wouldn't wear them, looks like you owe mu ten bucks." Kayla said as my uncle came up next to her.
My uncle frowned and I smile triumphantly.
"Does it please you to irritate me?" He whispered in a harsh tone.
"All day every day." I replied with a grin. Not waiting for his answer I walked away to find something interesting to do. Many people were to busy catching up to notice me walking by.
Bored with walking around aimlessly I went back upstairs and sat on my bed.
"This is a giant waste of time for me." I muttered.
"Tell me about it."
I looked up to see one of the girl around my age walking up to me. "Hi my name is Alice, what's yours?"
"I'm Raven." I responded.
She sat next to me. "So did your parents force you to come to?"
"More or less." I replied.
She nodded. "You must be Kayla's niece right? My mom is best friends with her so we came here to visit. Umm…do you mind if I stay up here with you?"
I shrugged. "Sure."
"Thanks, I'm kinda hiding from my brother cause he's pissed that I convinced mom and dad to make him come instead of letting him stay home."
"Why'd you do that?" I asked.
"Because he never talks to anyone out side of Rain and Kain and he needs to go outside more." She replied.
I looked at her surprised. "Did you say Rain and Kain?"
She nodded. "Yeah they're twins that go to your school. Have you met?"
"Are you kidding? They are the one's who made our chemistry project explode." I said suddenly very interested.
"Hey!"
"Who's talking about us?"
I looked passed Alice at the two grinning twins behind her.
"I didn't even notice you guys!" I laughed as I stood up and walked up to them.
"Raven!" Kain said hugging me.
"He's only hugging you so you don't take his PS3." Rain said smirking.
"That's not true!...Well maybe." Kain said letting me go.
"Have any of you seen Alice?"
The boy who I had seen down stairs pushed passed the twins. He looked at me and gave a small smile.
"Oh my God, he found me, quickly Kain hide me!" Alice said as she shot up and hid behind Kain.
"Why would I do that?" Kain asked looking at Alice.
"Because you love me!"
Kain didn't seemed conviniced. "And I'll give you a cookie?"
"Deal!" Kain said as he grabbed Alice and ran out of the room.
"That was weird." I said.
"They're always like that when ever one of them is hyper." The boy said.
"This is Aduro." Rain said introducing us.
"I'm Raven." I said smiling.
"Raven? So I finally found you."
[A/N] Me: Yay! 'Nother chapter up and my gosh I'm sorry nothing has happened yet! Bleh, well at least you met Aduro.
Rain: I thought you said this would be interesting?
Me: -_-" Don't you have a story to be in? Anyway plz review!
