Okay everyone, B-Chan here! Thank you guys for all the support and reviews! You guys have no idea how much it really lifts an author's spirits, and it really makes me want to update quickly for you guys! Haha, not to worry all you RavenXVlad fans, it will happen. Meredith shall not succeed! Bwuhahaha. Ah, also, In case you guys are like me and actually imagine what the characters look like in the story...I have a set of pictures designated for all of the characters that have showed up thus far. Unfortunately, I can't post them in the story. So just contact me if you want them!
After class, I headed for my locker. I was so thankful to be out of the same room as Meredith. I could finally breathe oxygen instead of perfume! Hallelujah! I found my locker and checked the schedule for the combination. I sighed and opened the locker, grabbing my books for English. I jumped about a foot in the air when I closed my locker and standing there was Vlad.
He looked over at me and smiled. "Oh, hey Raven." He said warmly.
"Sup?" I asked with a dorky smile. Inside I facepalmed. SUP? Really Raven?
He shrugged, "Not much, just heading to class and such. You need help finding your next one? Where're you heading?"
"Um…." I looked at my schedule. "I'm heading to B-207."
He nodded wisely. "Ah, well then I have that class with you too. Follow me." he chuckled as he started to walk towards the room. I followed obediently. He glanced at me. "So, which school did you transfer from?"
Uh-oh. Red flag question. I didn't want him to get the wrong picture of me, but I couldn't lie to him. Oh well, time for the moment of truth I guess. "Uh, From this school in Chicago. I didn't really get a chance to go before I got shipped out to Bathory, so I'm not quite sure what the name of the school was…"
"Really? The way you put it makes it sound like you travel a lot…"
"I do. I've kinda been passed around by my family since I was 10."
"Why's that?" He frowned.
"Eh, My mom's a bitch, and apparently my family thinks I'm a Satanist. Which is completely untrue!" I sighed and ran a hand through my hair, a nervous habit.
He smiled. "Well, I hope you get to stay here. Because you seem really cool."
I blushed and looked up at him. "Really?"
He nodded, "Yeah, totally."
YES! Vlad thought I was cool! Me of all people. Oh yeah, I had a good feeling about this. "Well thanks." I smiled. "You're pretty cool too."
-After School (Because B-Chan doesn't feel like writing out all the different classes)-
I was walking home when someone tapped me on my shoulder. I turned on my heel and found myself facing this scrawny nerd with a camera that was bigger than he was. "What?" I asked rudely. I didn't like being touched very much.
he hesitated a little bit, but then there was this strange fire in his eyes. This kid was determined to do something. "Hey, I'm Eddie. Um..You hang out with Vladimir Tod right?"
"Yeah, What's it to you?" I asked, crossing my arms.
He gulped. "You shouldn't be around Vlad too much. He's trouble."
"What kind of trouble?" I asked skeptically.
"Like...He's not human."
"Oh really? What do you think he is then Eddie?" I narrowed my eyes at him.
"I-I don't know for sure yet. But I just know he's a monster."
I snorted. This kid was a fucking riot I tell you. Poor Vlad, wonder if he knew that he had a fanboy stalker. "Yeah, whatever Eddie. Vlad's my friend, and I really don't care what you have to say about him. So make like Micheal Jackson and beat it."
He glared at me and puffed out his chest. "No."
I laughed and pulled out a lighter. "Eddie. Get out of my face, or I will light your ass on fire."
"Mean streak much?" A new voice came into the conversation with a chuckle. I looked over and saw Meredith. Oh joy on Earth!
I glared at Meredith. "What do you want?"
"Oh, nothing much, I just wanted to talk to you."
"About?"
"Walk with me." She smiled sweetly, then looked at Eddie. "Beat it shrimp!" She said harshly. Eddie looked at me, then at Meredith, then finally started to walk away. Meredith started to walk, and I followed. I wondered what she wanted to talk about. No, not really, I already knew. "So, Robin-"
"Raven." I interrupted.
"Whatever." She said bluntly. "So, I see the way you look at Vlad. You like him don't you?"
"As a friend..."
"Don't lie to me."
I clenched my teeth. "I think he's attractive if that's what you're asking. I think it's just a little too soon to tell if I really like him or not."
She smiled and put a hand on my shoulder. "Listen Robin-"
"Raven!"
"Whatever! Vlad is my property. He's stuck on me. Always has been, and always will be. So, you can't have him. Yeah, so I'm with Henry now. But Vlad's still off limits."
I glared at her. "You don't own him."
"Oh, but I do." She smiled, patting my shoulder. "Now, please stop talking to him."
"I'm not going to listen to you." I said, pulling away and walking towards my house. "You're a fake bitch, and it entertains me that you think you have any sort of power over other people. In all honesty, I don't know what he sees in you. If I were him I'd leave your ass in the street." She gasped at my words, but at this point I really didn't give a shit. It was official, I hated Meredith.
When I was about a block away from my house, I growled and sat on the curb. I was in no condition to go home yet. Anna would see that I was pissed off, and annoy me with questions until I told her every little minute detail about my day. I pulled out my iPod and stuck the earbuds in my ears, turning up the music to full volume and watching the cars drive by. Hate Me by Five Finger Death Punch was the first song that came up when I put the iPod on shuffle. Ironic.
I sat there for about ten minutes in undisturbed peace, until I saw the shadow of sombody standing behind me. I looked behind me and saw Vlad. He looked a little confused to see me. "Raven? What're you doing here?"
"Uh, you know, just hanging around for a little bit before heading back home."
"Oh." He nodded. "Makes sense...But why do you look angry?"
"Meredith's a bitch." I said, looking him dead in the eyes. I knew it might hurt for him to hear it, but he needed to know the truth.
At the mention of Meredith's name, he looked a little sad. "What did she say to you?" he asked, sitting down beside me.
"Nothing important." I said with a shrug. He looked at me skeptically, but I just slapped on a fake smile for him. "Really, It was nothing."
"...Okay..."
"Vlad!" A boy's voice called from down the street. We both looked up and saw some random guy walking towards us.
Vlad sighed. "Hey Henry." He said glumly.
"What's up man? Who's this?" He asked, looking at me curiously.
"Not much. This is my new friend, Raven. Raven, this is Henry." Vlad said, smiling a little bit. However, the smile didn't completely reach his eyes. Suddenly I put the pieces of this fucked up puzzle together. Meredith had been with Vlad. Vlad was in love with Meredith, but Meredith broke up with Vlad to go with Henry...And Henry was Vlad's friend...
That bitch!
I smiled at Henry and stood up, shaking his hand. "Nice to meet you." I lied. I had no desire to meet him now, after I knew how badly he had broken the friend code.
"Same." Henry smiled back. "Vlad, let's go in. I feel like kicking your ass at Xbox."
Vlad rolled his eyes. "Like you could."
"I'm fairly sure I can. Seeing as I've done it quite a few times."
"Whatever man." Vlad laughed. "I accept your challenge." Vlad looked at me. "Wanna come Raven?"
I looked back and forth at them, then smiled. "Depends. What game are we playing?"
"Call of Duty of course!" Henry smiled.
I snorted. "I bet I can kick both of your asses in that game."
"Bullshit!" They both shouted in unison.
"Care to make this a bet gentlemen?"
"Sure." Vlad smirked. "Name your price."
"Hmm...If I win...You have to be my bitch for a day."
"Deal. But what if I win?"
"Then I'll be your bitch."
"What about me?" Henry interjected.
"Then I'll make you a sandwitch." I smirked.
Henry smiled. "I likes me a sammich." He said, rubbing his hands together deviously. We all laughed.
"Alright guys, let's go play some Nazi Zombies!"
