Raven had tried unsuccessfully to get Richard's attention but he never said anything back to her and just gave her looks of betrayal mixed with sadness. After half an hour, Raven gave up and slumped back into her chair. Maths was so boring. After this was break and then she had French. With Kori, Tara and… Katherine. Great…

"Miss Roth! Stop slumping in your chair and pay attention! Now, what is the circumference of a circle if the diameter is 54 centimeters?"

"Ummm…"

"Not quick enough! Harper! What is the answer?"

Roy said the answer and the maths teacher looked at her own answer and gave Roy a small grin because his answer was right. The she began writing on the board again. Explaining to everyone how to work out circumference of larger numbers. Again.

"Who wants to learn about the importance of circles and Pi?" Karen whispered to Raven.

"No idea."

"Beecher! Roth! Stop talking! Should I send you to the principal's office?"

"No miss." Karen and Raven said quietly.

"What was that?"

"NO MISS!" The two girls said louder.

"Good. Please don't think I'm picking on you girls. I'm sorry for yelling. It's because I'm pregnant and my emotions are all over the place at the moment."

The girls nodded simultaneously and then looked down, blushing at how she could say that in front of her whole class. Their maths teacher had no shame at all. The boys were trying to not to laugh at their teacher being knocked up by her partner. Whoever he was…

"Because you've all been so good and I haven't to you today, we are going to finish the lesson early and you can all talk. Just pack up your things first" The maths teacher suddenly decided, trying to be nice because she hadn't been her usual friendly self because her emotions were all over the place since she'd been pregnant.

Everyone cheered and then began packing away and having a chat. Karen began talking about the slumber party Kori, Tara, Raven and Karen were going to have that night. It was Friday so it wasn't a school night – they could have a lie-in in the morning since it'd be Saturday.

Raven wasn't really listening to her best friend and was watching Richard talk with Roy and Victor, although he didn't seem to be paying attention to them. He was just nodding and not saying much. Raven sighed sadly and then turned to face Karen saying,

"I'm scared and worried."

This stopped Karen short of what she was saying about candy and sodas and she asked Raven a bit confused,

"What? Why?"

Raven said nothing but looked in Richard's direction. Karen followed her gaze and then nodded in understanding.

"Girl, you'll be fine. He really likes you and – "

"He doesn't!" Raven argued back.

"He does. Now shut up and I'll explain" Karen returned. "Ya see, when Richard saw you and that emo boy making out, he thought you'd moved on."

"Moved on?"

"Moved on to another guy and forgotten about your relationship with Richard."

"Lets get one thing straight here – Jake kissed me! I didn't kiss him."

"Yeah but that's not how Richard saw it. You are going to have to talk to him and – "

"I tried Karen, but he ignores me all the time."

"Raven… Jake also told Richard that you didn't love him anymore and that you loved Jake. Richard got all angry and upset about it. The he saw the two of you kissing and he believed it" explained Karen.

"God… Richard must feel so bad. I'm so stupid! I didn't realize – "

"You're not stupid. It's not your fault, it's Jake's fault. Raven. I want you to relax and then go over there up to Richard and tell him everything, then I want you to hug, kiss or whatever and then we'll all be happy again, okay?"

"So you want me to tell him everything?" Raven said to Karen doubtfully.

"Yep. It would be like a movie! Then in the end you kiss and make up – so sweet!"

"Alright… but you bought it all on yourself and it goes horribly wrong."

"Who cares? Just go!" Karen urged, making Raven stand up and she pushed her over towards the boys.

"Hi Karen" Victor said casually, then added, "How's my babe today then huh?"

"I'm good" Karen giggled. Roy rolled his eyes and then said to Raven,

"Hi Rae. Haven't talked to you for ages! How are you?"

"I've been better" Raven replied shyly. It had actually been over a week since they last talked. All the latest events that had been happening hadn't really given them a chance to talk.

"Oh. Why's that?"

Victor slapped Roy for saying such a stupid thing like that. Richard took this as a chance to escape from the group and move over to another place. He had barely stood up when Raven said to him,

"Richard wait."

The whole group fell silent and Richard stopped still with shock before looking her in eye. Raven decided to continue talking.

"Look I'm sorry about everything. Jake kissed me before I could do anything! I haven't moved on with my life and forgotten what we had. If you have, I respect that and I'll leave you alone. Just, please, can we be friends at least?"

With pleading looks in their eyes, Karen, Roy and Victor looked at Richard, as if begging him to say 'yes' to Raven. Richard stared back at Raven, unsure of what to do. Just then the bell rang, telling everyone that the lesson was officially over. Richard didn't say anything and fled the room without a second glance.

Roy and Victor apologized to Raven about his behavior before they rushed after him. Karen comforted Raven but the gothic girl felt embarrassed and stupid now that had happened especially in front of her friends.

"C'mon Rae, he's just confused at the moment. I suggest you find him and talk to him alone."

"Thanks Karen but… will he run away again?"

"I dunno but you gotta try if you think he's worth it."

"He is worth it. I'm not."

"You are! Raven I don't want to hear you say something like that again!" Karen scowled before they both headed outdoors for break. It wasn't too cold, maybe just 15 degrees celsius but the sun was shining. Probably the last time they'd see the sun this year, as it was coming to winter.

All of a sudden, they heard a huge gasp come from the gang of cheerleaders. Karen and Raven walked up to them to see what was going on. When they found and asked Courtney what was happening, Courtney said, still in shock,

"Katherine… just said… hello to a – a geek!"

Karen and Raven swapped glances before Raven said,

"What's the matter with that?"

"One, Katherine always beat up geeks, two, she's being nice to everyone! Including the emos, punks, skaters, goths, chavs, first years, geeks, drama kids, school band and jocks – well she was already nice to the jocks but whatever! She's being kind and friendly – I think she's ill."

Karen's eyes widened while she muttered the word,

"Whoa…"

"I know! It's like she wants to more popular than she ever was before and – oh my gosh. That's the reason she's doing all this! For popularity. I know she's my best friend and all but, I'm supposed to be the nice cheerleader!" Courtney complained, get worked up and upset. Just to calm her down, Raven made a 'I-really-don't-wanna-do-this' face and pulled Courtney into a soft hug, patting her on the back saying,

"There, there, it's okay."

Karen nearly had a fit of laughter but held it in because she didn't want a hard slap from Raven at this time in the morning already. So she just stood there, trying to divert her attention from the goth and the cheerleader hugging in front of her.

"RAVEN!" Katherine cried joyfully as she strolled over to the trio. Raven let go of Courtney and said to the head cheerleader,

"Uh… hi Katherine…"

"It's so good to see you!" Katherine exclaimed, grabbing Raven, hugging her tightly. Raven was turning blue from the lack of oxygen she had in her lungs.

"You too?" panted Raven.

Katherine released Raven and then turned to Karen. She pulled Karen into a hug and then said to her,

"I don't really know you, but it's good to see you too! Aren't you Victor's girlfriend?"

"Yeah… girl, I'm suffocating!" Karen replied. Katherine giggled but let her go anyway whilst saying,

"Cool, I'll be going now. See you lot later! C'mon Courtney!" Katherine commenced in dragging Courtney away leaving Raven and Karen alone yet again.

"Find Richard before I – " Karen started but was interrupted.

RRRRRIIIIINNNNNGGGGG!!!!!

"Let's get to class…" Raven said quietly and they went back inside for lesson 3.

"Dude, find Raven and tell her that you – "

"Find Raven and tell her what?" Kori interrupted Garfield. Richard looked at Kori and said to her,

"He wants me to find Raven and tell her that I still… love her…"

"Yes, you should go right away!" Kori insisted trying to pull Richard up off the grass.

"But she's probably eating her lunch" Richard said, trying to avoid his task.

"She is not! Tara and her have just come out of the lunch hall! Tell her!"

"Dude, Kori's right. Tell Raven that you still like her" Gar reasoned.

Richard sighed dramatically and stood up, before striding over to Tara and Raven. Tara saw him coming and quickly muttered to Raven,

"I'll talk to you later." With that, the blonde rushed off to Kori, Garfield and Roy. Raven stopped suddenly when she saw the reason for Tara's quick absence. Richard walked right up to her but before he could say anything, Raven said,

"I'm sorry. For everything."

"No, really, I'm sorry. For making you embarrass yourself in maths. And for ignoring you and for going around with that airhead Katherine and – "

"Richard" Raven cut him off. He looked at her questionably.

"Stop talking" Raven whispered, as they leaned in for a kiss that they hadn't shared in ages. He snaked his arms around her waist and she placed hers on his neck, pushing herself up closer to him. They were truly happy to be together again, no more blanking, revenge, lies, or arguments.

Victor and Karen sat down with Roy, Kori, Garfield and Tara, as the group watched the make out scene between their two best friends in the middle of the school yard.

"Awww they look so sweet…" Tara commented.

"Yeah man they look hot" Roy added.

"They totally deserve each other…" Victor said smiling.

"Dudes! Isn't that the emo guy, Jake?" Gar questioned his friends. They all looked to where Garfield was pointing to see Jake walking angrily over to where Richard and Raven where kissing. All the group walked up to him, blocking his way. He tried to push past them but Victor and Roy's strength kept him back.

"What's your deal punks?" Jake angrily said to them.

"You're the emo here and we're not punks… we're… a group of friends" Roy said.

"And you're not interrupting Richard and Raven" Victor told Jake.

"Say's who?"

"Us!" Victor, Roy, Gar, Karen, Kori and Tara told him before Victor picked him up and threw him into the dumpster, leaving him with all the garbage. Jake crossed his arms angrily as he shook a banana peel off his head.

Meanwhile, Richard and Raven were leaning against each other, their noses touching. Richard was saying repeatedly that he was sorry and Raven kept on telling him it was okay. When he was fed up with arguing, he murmured,

"Did you know that you're so beautiful…?"

"I'm not…"

"You are Rae… and your kind… and clever… and sexy…"

"Richard!"

"What?! You are! And don't deny it!"

Raven growled at him playfully. Richard chuckled and then captured her lips in another sweet kiss. Their friends watched the couple and then carried on chatting and having their own conversations.

There you have it! Yes I am doing a sequel… I have an idea and I've already written out the whole plot (not the story) and I think you'll like it… it might be more sadder than this one because of – I'LL SHUT UP NOW AND WONT SAY ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE SEQUEL:D

Happy New Year!!!

Love you all,
