Raven walked away with tears streaming down her face. She and Devon had just had a huge argument and broken up. Raven had seen Devon majorly flirting with a blonde at a party, and she had confronted him. Big mistake. Devon was quick on his emotions, so the "conversation" turned into a fight.
While walking out to the bus, a tall, tan boy pulled her aside. "Raven?"
Raven looked up. "I don't really have time to talk right now..."
"Raven, it's Ryan."
"Ryan? I haven't talked to you in FOREVOR!"
"Yeah i know. See, I've been trying to talk to you this whole year and...you just never seemed to notice me."
"Oh, Ryan I'm so sorry. I've just been major busy."
"I understand."
Ryan and Raven began to walk out to the bus together. Ryan said, "Raven, there's something I've wanted to ask you since the day we met."
"What?"
Ryan got on his knees and paused. Then finally he said. "Raven? Will you marry me?"
Raven's expression changed completey. "Oh, Ryan...I just don't know...this is so sudden..." she thought of Devon. This is the perfect way to get back at him. "Yes, Ryan. I'll marry you."
"Really?"
"What do you mean 'really'? I said yes, didn't I?"
"Wow." he smiled. "WOW!"
"But my dad would flip if he found out I'm engaged."
"So who has to know, Raven? Kids do things like this ALL the time. We can elope."
"Elope?"
"Elope."
"Jeez...Ryan...I just dunno."
"Raven, come on. This is fire, babe, this is PASSION."
"Well...that does sound romantic."
"See?"
"Well...okay. But Ryan?"
"Yeah?"
"First I've got to get home."
"No prob, I'll drive you."
Chelsea was over at Raven's house, trying on blouses. "So, should I wear this one, or should I wear the pink preppy one? I don't wanna look like a major prep, but I just like the color pink. But oh no! Look, Rae! You have a cheetah skin one! Even if it is fake, it does simulate that you think it's okay to kill animals and-ooh! A purple one!"
The tension was ganging up one Raven. She had to tell someone sooner or later, or she'd loose her mind. "Chelsea!"
"Yeah, Rae?" Chelsea placed a skirt on Raven's bed.
"I'm-I-I'm engaged."
"Omigod Rae! To Devon? How romantic-"
"No-no, Chelsea. We broke up."
"Oh, oh, Rae, I'm so sorry."
"Yeah well it's okay, because I'm engaged to Ryan."
"Ryan Fight?"
"Yes!" Raven squealed.
"Rae? Ya just broke up, and you're already engaged? Isn't it a little..."
"It's fire! It's PASSION!"
"Well Rae...Does your dad know?"
"No. No way, girl are you serious?"
"Well what about your mom-" Chelsea bit her lip.
Raven sunk down. Her lip began to quiver. It had only been a few months since the car accident...
flashback
Raven's mom is driving through the rain. "I love you, sweetie."
"I love you too, Mom. Thanks for taking me shopping." Raven says, even though she's a bit embarrassed about going to the mall with her mom.
Raven's mom smiles. Raven knows she's happy, because they haven't done anything together in a long time.
"Mom! Mom! Stop!" Raven looks fearfully at the car pulling out in front of them.
"Hold on, honey!" The car swerves, but goes through a gate and tumbles into a ditch....
...Hours later, Raven wakes up in the hospital. Her dad is hovering over her. "Rae? Honey? You okay?"
"Dad..." Raven moans. "Dad...where's mom? Is she okay?"
Raven's dad doesn't respond. Raven's vision is blurry so she can't se his expression.
"Mom died...didn't she?"
Raven's dad nods. Then shakes his head. A tear falls. He quickly shields his eyes and walks swiftly out of the hospital room...
end flashback
"Rae...Rae I'm so sorry. I totally forgot. You know I'm a ditz...I'm so sorry." Chelsea looks at Raven, who's shielding her face.
Raven uncovers her eyes partially. Her face is covered with mascara. "Get out. Get out now."
