Raven was half asleep in her bed still petting Beanie. It was nice. Very nice, just to be in her dorm alone in peace. Some hours before the room was loud and crazy. Now that everyone was gone, Raven could think. She needed to sort out this whole thing with Gar. It was just so hard! She look down at Beanie. She was a blur. A small, fluffy blur. For a second Beanie was clear to see and she seemed to be smileing.
"Oh, Rewn. wou know wou like em'." Raven closed her eyes and look at Beanie again, she was yarning then began to sleep again. Raven decided to forget about this crazed matter and go to sleep, but...

"Raven you gotta help me!"

Raven jump up to see Gar freaking out. He was followed in by Kori and Anikeekia. Raven sighed and rolled out of bed.

"What is it?"

"Okay, Ms.Gemn asigned us to write a play! And I got no idea how or what!"

"First of all, it's 'I don't have an idea' not 'got no idea.' Second of all, why do you think that I would do your work for you? I got things to do too, you know."

"Oh, c'mon Raven. We could do it together." Anikeekia suggested.

"Yes, it could be most enjoyable." Kori agreed with Anikeekia.

"Fine. Whatever."

They started throwing out ideas and was now writing their play.
"We got to try to make it the greatest play ever cause this is what she is gonna show our parents on Family Day in a few weeks."

"Family Day?" Anikeekia asked confused. This was her first year at the school and even though she caught on fast she still didn't know everything about the place.

"It's when our parents come out to see how we are doing and meet our teachers. We also have a special feast in their honor." Kori happily explained to her. It was nice to be the one to explain than the one confused by strange traditions.

"It'll be the day before Thanksgiving. I am very excited to see my family...well at least most of them." Kori's older sister, Mandy, made bail and was now going to come back and ruin her life cause she ruined her's. Even though she really wasn't the one that did. Raven didn't care the least bit about Family Day. Her mom would come for a while, they would talk then she would leave waaaay before the dinky dinner started. Then her dad would come some hours later and scare everyone on campus and make her feel like dirt. Soon he'll talk to her about life and destiny and crap like that, then leave with a plate of Thanksgiving food.

"Well, I don't know if I can handle it! My mom's gonna kill for my bad grades and then my dad is gonna kill me for letting Kiri have boyfriend! I don't wanna die!" Gar cried.

"You can't die twice."

"Gar, please. Your parents are gonna be so pissed and occupied with Brad, they won't have time to kill you." Raven plainly said.

"You're right. I mean a few bad grades and one dating daughter is nothing compared to the stuff Brad did. Thanks Raven."

"So our parents are coming...This is great! I want you guys to meet my little sister and my brothers."

"Anyway, can we please just write this stupid thing." said Raven, who wanted to finish the project.


Something...

Cleo was reading an article on cats in a pet magazine with Rose, who wanted to get one of the kittens. Cleo eye's were now a lite, but bright green like Beanie's. What was her real eye color? No one knows for sure. Rose, Grant, and Jerri look at the five pictures of kittens Cleo had given them. One was all white and one was orange and white and the rest look like Beanie.

"I want the white one, it matches my outfit." Rose pointed to the white kitten that was being chase by one of the white and black kittens in the picture.

"It's a girl. And we can't risk it getting pregnant while we're at school. Lets get the red one, it's a boy." Jerri suggested, disagreeing with Rose.

"I want the girl! And what are the odds of Muffin getting pregnant in a gated community?"

"Muffin?" giggled Grant.

"Well, Cleo's cat got pregnant. So our's can too."

"Stop judging Muffin by her mother! It's not her fault her mom is stupid for leaving her dad and making her live in this hell!"
It was plain to see she wasn't talking about the kitten anymore. Rose turn to Cleo who wasn't there anymore. She sighed and continued her fight with Jerri.

"Kagome!" a teenage boy with long silver-white hair and dog ears cried on the tv in the girl lounge. Some girls and their 'friend-boys' were watching it closely, as if they didn't want to miss a word that was being said.

Robin tried to ignore them and the show as him, Gar, Zach and Kori studied for their French test. Kori and Robin was quite good at it, but Gar and Zach didn't even know how to say 'hello' in French.

"Why are they making us take French anyway! It's not like I'm going to any Frenchy countries anytime soon." Zach moaned.

"l'heure bleue." Kori said awaiting for an answer. Robin loved the way she talk when she talk in French. It was something so sexy about it.

"Whatty-what!" Gar asked bewildered.

"It means 'the blue hour' or as we call it 'twilight'." Robin replied.

"I knew that." Gar took a sip of his grape soda that was about empty. Zach frowned cause he knew that there was no way he was going to pass. He didn't even understood something as easy as the blue hour. It was sooooo obvious!

"Parle." Robin said after flipping through the French book. Zach frowned again for the same reason he did last time. Kori smiled. She knew the answer, but she didn't say anything because she wanted to give Gar and Zach a chance. Gar look like he was in deep thought, while Zach was kissing his future goodbye.

"It means...pearl!" Gar answered by just changing the word a little.

"Sorry friend Gar, but it means 'talk'."

"Oh! Well, what do you guys know? I'm gonna ask a real french fry."

"And who may that be?"

"Ms.Gemn." Gar said as he left the room. One of the girls watching the show shushed them when Gar yelled out to them when he left.

"So...Who's gonna tell him that Ms.Gemn is Italian?" Zach laughed.


Smile like you mean it

Friday: a day of tests, a day of happiness, a day that you can look forward to, the one day of the week (that you're in school) you love, a day that you can smile and play. Well, not if today's picture day and your name is Raven Roth. It was just an out of the blue thing. No notice or anything! They just annouce it and now everyone is in the girls gym waiting for their name to be called. Raven sat next to Tru, who sat next to Mia. Everyone was place in ABC order, so Raven couldn't sit next to Kori, but it was okay cause it been a while since she was able to talk to Tru. Most Tru's blue hair had been washed out, it's in a ponytail with all the blue hairs in the front.

Zach happily sat between Cleo and Gar.

"The girl's gym is nice. Very...clean and stuff." Zach said trying to make conversation with Cleo. But it didn't work. Cleo continued to ignore him and started looking at some pictures she had in her Hello Kitty purse. Gar loved watching these two. It was his personal, badly written, teen drama. He just wish he had some popcorn. Cleo continued to look at the many picture's. Some was of her, her and her friends, kittens, and then one of her and Zach. They look like they was at least nine when the photo was taken. They both look mad and was pouting, while a women that look about twenty with long locks was holding them together in a hug smiling.

"Ms.Hayes!" they both said in union. They look at each other with tears building up in their eyes. Cleo smiled at him and then kiss him on the cheek. Gar had no idea why this second grade picture change Cleo's love for Zach.

"Cleo Ling!" Rose yelled out for the third time, annoyed. Cleo got up and walk into the next room where the pictures were being taken.

Mia, Tia, and Gia were fixing each other's hair and make-up like professionals. Gia look down the row to Raven and Tru who was talking about Thanksgiving a.k.a. 'Family Day' for the school.

"Hey, your Raven, right? The girl that got the part of Metri." Gia asked, even though she knew who she was.

"Yeah. That's right."

"Raven, have you ever went to Camp Wollow?"

"Yeah, I've been there before."

"Do you remember a girl by the name of Mamimi?"

"Uh...yeah. She was my room mate. She had a fake tattoo of a butterfly on her arm that somehow stayed visable the whole summer and she would always give me her piece of angel cake for lunch."

"I can't believe it!" Mia jump in. "Raven, it's me. Mamimi, only my real name is Mia."

"Really!" Raven smiled. She didn't even reconized her as her old friend from camp. She looked so different since she saw her in summer camp, but they were just ten years old at the time. The two started talking about old times in summer camp and what they did since. Mia suggested Raven should come back to the camp as a counseler, like she did. And Raven loved the idea of spending summer with Mia like she did in what felt like ages.

"Mia Tellas" Grant yelled as Rose gulp down some bottled water.

Mia got up to take her picture in the next room. When she came back she started talking to Tia and Gia. Raven sighed. It was great seeing her old friend Mamimi, but in the end she'll just be her old friend from summer camp with the fake name and tattoo.

"Raven Roth." Grant called out.

Raven went into the other room and sat on the stool that was place in front of the backround of glittery stars and moons.

"Smile." the photographer said readying the camera. Raven sighed and kept her same expression.

"Come on now. A pretty girl have to have a pretty smile. So smile." he said in his same happy-go-lucky tone he used last time he asked her to smile. Raven sighed again and scowled.

"Will you please just smile so I can take the picture."

"Just take the picture so we can go on with our lives." The camera flash and he sent Raven out of the room.


Track 8

Kori stretch and bend next to two other girls on the field. Her goal: to reach the finish line before them, but if she failed the world would be doomed to play volleyball for the millionth time that month. Secret agent C.O.A.C.H blew her wistle and the countdown started. Using her new superspeed shoe gadget she got from her unknown source Rav.Inn, she easily past the two evil volleyball lovers. Then evil volleyball lover one started gaining, so she put her gadget to superspeedMAX. Then for unknown reason she stop.

"Hey, Kori!" said a voice, snapping her out of her secret agent fantasy.

Kori saw a tall, red headed boy walk towards her. His smile got bigger and bigger as he got closer to her. Once he got to her he hug her and smiled a huge smile.

"Um...who are you?" Kori asked, not sure who this strage man was.

"It's me. Wally!"

With that said every girl crowed around him. When he left the school to a more advance one in track, he somehow got a record deal and now has two songs that where hits.

Kori have him a hug, but it was cut sort cuase some crazed fans started attacking him. He started running and manage to shake them off. Coach got the girls to clam down.

"Okay, now lets just go on with our lives and play some VOLLEYBALL!"

Kori sighed. She failed her mission, and now the volleyball loving freaks had taken over the world...

"Raven! Friend Raven!" Kori ran to Raven who writing in her black and silver book.

"What is it Kori?"

"Wally! He's back! He's here! Today on campus!"

"Wally? MY WALLY!"

"Yeah, I saw him in gym."

"He would go there first...He's such a jerk! I haven't heard from him in years and the first thing he do is go to the track. I can't believe that jarhead."

"Oh, Raven. Don'tbe like that. You know that your more important than the gym to me." Wally said, coming out of nowhere.

"Yeah, right. If that was true you wouldn't have left."

"Here Rae. I got this for you some time back." Wally handed her a small box. Raven opened it with little interest. Inside was a ring with a blackish blue gem on it. Raven's eyes glowed as she stared at the ring. She closed it and tossed it back to him like it was nothing.

"Don't think you can buy me with cheap jewels,Wally. Things have change since you left, so I hope you didn't come back thinking that everything can pick up where they left off. Cause it ain't gonna happen."

"Raven, I know things won't be like it was before, but I was hoping that our love for each other is still the same."

Raven blushed a little.

"I mean, I love you Raven. Your smart and beautiful and there's nothing I want more than to have your love."

Raven's face was completly red and wore a small smile.

"So, Raven. Would you go out me tonight?"

"Sure. I loved to."


Later that night...A date that tells the truth

"Oh! It's soooooo romantic! A boy we thought was long gone comes back with one thing on his mind, LOVE!" Anikeekia gushed.

"I thought you didn't likeromance." Kori questioned.

"No, I said I didn't like romance movies. There so unrealistic that I can't enjoy them."

"You are the wierdest person I have ever met." Robin said as Cy stolded his nacho's.

"Whatever!"

"Hey, guys. What's up?" Gar asked as he walk into the room. He still didn't know Wally was back or that Raven was on a date with him.

"Um...nothing. Nothing's happening over here. A real snore fest!"

"Okay. Did you guys hear that lame rumor that Wally was back. I mean, c'mon."

The gang just noded their heads and smiled.

"Can you believe it?" Cleo was saying to Zach as they walk into the room together.

"Believe what?" Gar asked the two.

"That Raven is on a date with Wally! The Wally. Isn't great!" Cleo smiled, she didn't know that he liked Raven and for that she shall pay.

A dark arua surrounded Gar.

"Wally!"

Meanwhile on the date, Raven and Wally had just left the movies, where girls adored Wally. Then they walk down the many streets, where girls adored Wally. And they stop at a little icecream shop, as girls adore Wally.

"Then he told me that she was his wife." Wally said telling a story to Raven about the time he thought a singer's wife was his daughter. Raven laughed at his mistake, took a bit out of Wally's bowl of rockyroad icecream, then look around at the few people that was there.

"I'm glad you came back Wally, but for how long are you gonna be here?"

"Just today. I convince them to let me come here on our way to Washington, but we couldn't delay the trip longer than a day."
Raven sighed knowing that her time with Wally was numbered.

Wally moved closer to Raven and Raven knew what he was about to do.

"Wally, I can't."

"Why not Raven? I thought our love didn't change."

"It didn't. But my heart did. I still love you, but I guess I love someone else more."

"It's Garfield, isn't."

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"He told me some years back that he liked you. And thats why he hated me. I guess I kind of knew you liked him too, but I never thought you could love him more than me."

"Don't make it sound like I'm the bad guy here. You're the one that didn't write or call. What did you think, that I wouldn't move on with my life."

"Nah.You need someone to be by you everyday and not every blue moon. And I guess you two make a good couple, but he isn't as charmingor asdevilishly handsome as me though."

"Whatever, Wally."

"Well, I guess my mom was right. Your first will never be your last, though at the time she was talking about cookies."

Wally drop Raven off by the school where Raven kiss him on his forehead. He droved off and as soon as Raven could no longer see his car she went inside. She walk into the girls lounge, which will lead to the dorms. Gar sat on one of the sofas shivering. The girl's lounge was cold at night and he was there again with nothing to warm himself with.

"Hey, Raven."

"Hey, Gar."

"So, how was your date with Wally?" he asked, trying to hide his bitterness.

"It was okay, but it wasn't a date. It was just two friends catching up, thats all."

"Yeah. So see ya tomorrow?"

"Duh."
