Raven sat at her lunch table reading, when Sparrow shredded his guitar all the way over to her. You know right now, Raven and I, we're on the same page. We were totally thinking Oh brother, here comes trouble. "Hey babe, what's smokin'?" "Not you," Raven smirked. "Whatever after, I just came to apologize, if I had known you were under so much I would have en-chanted Evil Queen, or dumped spaghetti on your head, or kissed you, or questioned your plus one, or..." "Enough! I can't take anymore babbling so shut it. What are you babbling about anyway?" "Wait, so your not devastated?" "Why would I be deva... you know, for a guy who has a crush on me you sure have a funny way of showing it and as for "devastation" I'm pretty sure that me thinking you have cooties wouldn't devastate me." "Wow, your really good at hiding emotions, if you need a therapist Apple has some great dwarves, they helped me realize that I'm way two good for you in more ways than one, if you need them here's their number." Sparrow handed her a green sheet of paper. Maddie and Darling came walking over to them. "You know, I'll never understand the disgusting art of boys," she said looking off into the distance. "Neither will I" Darling and Maddie admitted.
Raven was sitting at a table drawing pictures of her and Flash, she really missed him. The only thing that really relaxed her is the fact that her father was sending out every guard he could to save her best friend and some nights she would lay in her bed listening very closely to the wind and hear Flash's voice whisper in her ear, 'I'm alright, be there for the people who need you the most, I'll be here when you get back,' then the wind would kiss her cheek and she could release all her restlessness. She was dreaming of the day she would once again see her best friend when her thoughts were interrupted by an annoying blinding smile and the Flash of a camera. "Look ladies, take a good long look at this poor misfortunate girl who happened to lose not one but two of her closet loved ones," Daring gave a sympathetic smile into the mirrorpad. "Good thing handsome people like me are around to cheer people up around here." He once again gave his haw dropping smile and turned to Raven, handed her a bunch of stuff, "Here take these, my most prized possessions, it's for charity, always a good cause." Raven looked at him bewildered. "Charity?" Her confused look turned into a poker face. "Seriously? A mirror with your autograph? A photo of you with an autograph? An autographed photo of you holding your autographed photo? Thanks Daring but I think I'll pass." She slid the items back to him. "He huffed, "Well hexcuse me for being the nice guy that I am and giving you top treatment, I guess I should give it to another girl who's actually worthy of my presence. Who am I kidding, there's no such thing, who could ever match up with my good looks, I'll just find a far second." Raven nodded sarcastically, "Good luck with that." Duchess butted in, "Wow Raven Mean," she snarled. Raven sighed. "Here we go again," she pouted. "Poor Daring was just trying to lend you a hand in your pathetic hour of need, but obviously your too cold to accept it even when your vulnerable." "That's it! What is going on? Everyone keeps looking at me and staring and saying poor girl, poor girl, I'm not poor, I have 12 different bedrooms for different occasions, I have a limo, 12,900,480 and 2 tiaras not including the 5 thousand my dad bought me, I have a enough makeup to fill 80 gold vaults and they are kept in 90 silver vaults so tell me what the hex is going on!" The whole cafeteria turned and stared at her, then they started whispering. Raven went to an annoyed poker face, "I knew it would happen, the idiot apocolise has finally come to Ever After High." "My, my Raven, tisk tisk, Flash would frown on such evil behavior now wouldn't he?" Duchess mocked. "Look I'm sorry, I'm in a bad mo-, did you just say Flash?" "Yep, I believe he is the only missing chauffeur you have, and the only one that can make you feel whole again," Duchess said making a faux sympathetic pouty face. "Apple told?" Raven whispered to herself. She looked around and once again she saw the angry mob, holding there torches and pitchforks shouting the dreaded name. "Evil Queen! Evil Queen!Evil Queen!" And as a horrible victim of circumstance Apple walked in on the dead silent room, although it was only silent for a split second and then by working together evil, hatred, and hurt worked together to break it.
"You told?! Apple I thought I could trust you! I thought you actually cared and then you went ahead and told?! Your suppose to stand up for people who don't have a voice! Your always telling me what my destiny is and that I have to follow it! I know! Okay? I know i heard it a billion times! I heard it from the same big mouth that spilled my secret! I thought that of all people I could trust the fairest of them all with something that could change my life..." Her voice lowered to a whisper. "forever." Apple looked around, of all days today was the day that the whole entire student body include the teachers and the hextreme faculty were there. Headmaster Grimm stood there, strait faced, standing up tall, looking to her and Raven, hands behind his back, and Apple knew he wouldn't help her this time, this time she was on her own. Everyone was silent as if her and Raven were the only ones in the room. She looked into Raven's eyes, she felt betrayed and alone, as though her life had crumbled along with the secret, the doorway to her heart had now completely closed. Raven's eyes were filled to the brim with tears of pain and grief, Apple wanted to relieve them with a warm hug and tell her that everything would be alright but she couldn't. Raven shook her head and looked to her feet, Apple could hear one single tear from Raven's eye drop. She heard the timid whisper she hadn't heard since the day Raven learned to talk and Sparrow and Daring were bullying her about it. Apple no longer saw the strong fourteen year old, she now saw the scared helpless three year old opening up to a new world. The last words she heard before Raven burried her head in her hands and ran away were, "Honestly, I don't know why but I hexpected more from a White." Apple looked down at the beautiful white rose Raven had given her towards the beginning of the year.
Two clear perfect teardrops fell into it's petals as Apple sat on her bed thinking. Thinking about all the misery that Raven now had on her shoulders besides the fact that she was destined to be evil. She heard her door creak inside stepped a shamed Blondie Lockes. "Are you mad at me Apple?" she asked. "I'm not mad, I'm dissapointed, it hurts that you would share something like that to the world and stand by and watch me take the blame." Blondie looked down at her feet not wanting to face Apple.
