Chapter 6 Airport
Matt came up and touched my shoulder to get my attention.
"What! Oh sorry." I said.
"What were you thinking about?" he asked. He had a smirk on his face.
"Just today." I stated.
"Are you ready?" he asked.
"Yea. Let's go!" I said. I just wanted to leave. Torrie came up to us.
"Hi. Raven, hi Matt." she said.
"Hi." we both said.
"What are you guys doing?" she asked.
"I was just taking Raven to the airport." Matt said.
"Oh. She's not staying with us." She said.
"No. I have school to finish." I said even though I probably won't stay at school all day.
"I never liked school." she said.
"Yeah me neither." I agreed.
"Hey Torrie she has enough school attendance problems. Don't encourage it." Matt scolded.
"Okay sorry." she said. "Hey could you take Amy to the airport?"
"Yeah. I'm going there anyways." he said. Amy walked up to us.
"Torrie are we going I have to catch the plane to Virginia." Amy said.
"Actually Matt's going to take you." she said.
"Oh okay." Amy said. "Is it okay with Matt?"
"Yeah he's taking me to the airport too." I said.
"Where are you going?" she asked.
"Virginia too." I said. "I have unfinished business there." Thinking about my mom's funeral.
"Hey it is going to be okay." Amy touched my shoulder.
"I know." I said. "We should get going."
"Yeah. Bye Torrie." Matt said.
"Bye." Amy said. I just waved. We walked to Matt's car and got in.
"Hey dad." I said.
"Yeah." he responded.
"Do you think that I could go to Raw?" I asked.
"Maybe. Why don't you ask Jeff.' he said. He handed his cell to me. "Memory 2." I dialed it.
"Hello." Jeff answered.
"Hi. Jeff." I said.
"How is my niece?" he asked.
"I am fine." I lied.
"So what can I do for ya?" Jeff asked.
"I was wondering if you would let me come to Raw with you?" I asked. There was a pause and some whispering in the background.
"Yeah. It's okay. Meet me at the arena at 11:30 okay?" he asked.
"Yeah." I said. I hung up and handed Matt his phone back. "Thanks."
"No problem." he said. We reached the airport. Amy and I got out of the car. "bye."
"Bye." We both said. We walked in the airport. A few people walked over and asked for autographs. I went up to the front desk.
"Welcome to Norwest Airlines. What can I do for you?" The lady at the front desk asked.
"I need a ticket to Virginia." I said.
"Name?"
"Raven Hornet-Cole."
"It's already been taken care of. Please have a seat until your flight leaves."
"Thank you." I walked back to where Amy was.
"Matt took care of your ticket?" she asked.
"Yep." I looked around the room. There was a little girl with her mom and dad. There was a dull ache, but I knew I have to move on. I know it's going to be hard, but I will do it.
"flight to Virginia is on loading." they announced. Amy and I got up and headed to the gate. We got on the plane. The second I laid my head on the headrest I fell asleep. Amy woke me up when we landed.
"Raven. We're here." she said.
"Oh." I yawned. "Thanks."
"No problem." she said. We walked off the plane. "Do you need a ride to Katie's?"
"No. Katie and her mom are picking me up. Thanks anyway." I said.
"Alright. Bye." she said. She hugged me and left.
"Raven." I heard someone say. I turned around. I saw Zack. He waved to me. "Hi." he said.
"Hi. What are you doing here?" I asked.
"I'm here to pick you up." he said. "Katie's mom had to work at the last minute." He put his arm around my waist to direct me to his car. I could smell the alcohol on his breath.
"I can drive myself. It's okay." I said.
"You know you can always come with me." he said.
"No that's alright." I said. He tried to pull me towards his car. Thankfully Katie and her mom pulled up. "I got to go. Bye." I got into the car and we left.
"What was that about?" Katie asked.
"Nothing." I said. "He was just wondering how I was doing." We drove on in silence. We reached Katie's house. Katie and I went upstairs and slept it was 8:00. Today school was delayed until 10 because of some sort of inspection. We woke up at 9:45 and we changed and left to school. Katie walked in the school and Josh came up and kissed her.
"Hi babe." he said.
"Hi." she replied and they kissed.
"Okay lovers. Get a room." I said walking by them. Then low and behold Allen walks up to me and everyone looks.
"Raven we need to talk." he stated.
"Oh maybe later." I said and everyone laughed.
"No. Now!" he demanded.
"But I'll be late for class." Everyone knew that was an insult.
"Pleases baby." he said. I laughed.
"What?" I said.
"Would you come to my party tonight?" he asked.
"Sure why not." I said and headed to class. Today wasas slow as usual. Finally the day ended and the homework was dreadful. At about 8pm my homework was finished.
"Ready for the party?" I asked. She had been getting ready for a hour.
"Yeah." she said. "Is that what you're going to wear?"
"No." I got up and grabbed a tight blue halter top and a pair of flare jeans that tie up the sides. "This is what I'm wearing." I went in the bathroom and changed.
Matt came up and touched my shoulder to get my attention.
"What! Oh sorry." I said.
"What were you thinking about?" he asked. He had a smirk on his face.
