Guess wot guys, I thought I had deleted this so I started agen but then I loaded my floppy disk up at school and it turns out it had saved onto that instead of my hard drive...^_^; hehe oops! -*-

"So Raven...looks like you are our new room mate!" Mariah squealed, slinging one arm around Raven's shoulders. "Loving your new outfit by the way

"Looks like! And thanks" Raven grinned, she had been pounced on by Mariah and Yushi as soon as she had walked into her new dorm room.

"This calls for a SLEEPOVER!" Yushi yelled, and ran a crimson bed, and began jumping up and down on it excitedly. The bed creaked dangerously and Mariah cringed.

"You're gunna break that dam thing if you keep doing that!" Mariah scolded the over-excited girl. Yushi immediately stopped bouncing and dropped down to sit cross-legged on the crimson covers, her hands in her lap.

Emily burst into the room at that moment, spilling everything in her arms onto a burnt orange coloured bed, she dropped down onto her bed like a stone.

"Hey Ems, we're having a sleepover!" Yushi squealed, clapping her hands together excitedly, "to officially welcome Raven to the dorm!"

"Huh? Oh hi there Raven, I was wondering whether we'd get you, I'm glad we did!" Emily looked at her excitedly, "so what movie are we planning on watching?" she looked over at Mariah.

"BRING IT ON!" yelled Yushi, "I think we are all decided" Mariah said decisively.

"Oh what a shame I won't be here to see it" a voice sounded from seemingly nowhere. Raven looked around her until her eyes rested on a black bed in the darkest corner of the room. The walls around the bed had been covered with black pieces of paper, smudged with colours. On first glance you wouldn't even have seen the small girl huddled in the corner of the bed.

On the desk next to the bed, several pot of paint were scattered with paintbrushes and scraps of sandpaper.

Hannah was dressed totally in black, as always, she blended in with the walls. Her head hung forwards, her dark hair covering her face.

"Han?" Yushi started,

"Ah leave her, she's still sulking over the face-off with Tala in town earlier" Emily giggled, "he's gonna have one hell of a shiner in the morning!"

"He deserved it; he's a sexist man slut! And a suicidal one at that if he thinks he can mess around with me!" The dark haired teen shot out, lifting her head up to smirk at her friends.

"I take it this bed is mine" Raven said softly looking over to the only bed in the room not surrounded by personal belongings, posters and clothes.

"Yep, that would be yours!" Mariah chirped.

Raven walked over to it and sat down on the ice blue silk covers.

"My favourite colour" she grinned at her new friends, "but it still looks a bit boring, wanna help me...personalise...it?" she grinned at her friends who all nodded enthusiastically, except Hannah, who was sketching something in a note pad.

"Don't suppose you guys have any spare posters?"

"Hell yeah!" cried Emily, "we can only fit so many on the walls!"

"Nice!" said Raven as she watched the other girls rave underneath their beds for posters.

"Here" she looked up to see the gothic girl stood above her, holding out a piece of paper to her, "decoration". When tHannah was stood up you could see that he clothes were covered in paint, not so completely black now.

Raven took the paper from her hands and looked at it, there on the page was a pencil drawing of a raven, so very detailed, it was beautiful.

"How long have you been working on this?" Raven looked up at her in awe.

Hannah shrugged, "bout five minutes, it's only a sketch, nothing much"

Raven jaw dropped open, "this is amazing Hannah, thanks!"

"Think of it as a present in return for the necklace, it's beautiful, strange I'll give you that, but beautiful all the same. And I know that it belongs to me, it feels right" she pulled the pendant out from under her black top and gazed at it intently. At her touch the inky substance seemed to swirl and react, almost glow an eerie darkness, like fog.

"Hey Han, how's the masterpiece coming?" Emily nodded her head towards the covered up walls.

"Well enough, its almost finished"

"No chance of getting a sneak preview then?" Yushi grinned at her friend. She sighed when she saw the smaller girl shake her head.

"Not yet"

"Anyway, Raven how you like the school so far?" Mariah asked.

"Its alright I guess, but then I haven't actually had any lessons yet, have I?" she grinned sheepishly.

"Lets see your timetable, you might be in our lessons!" Emily strode over and started to rave through the bag that Kai had given her, she let out a triumphant sound when she pulled the piece of paper from the bag.

"Hurray, you're in most of our lessons" she cheered, "we are all in different sets for ICT but it looks like you're in with Han! All we do is email each other all lesson, do you have an email address?"

"Um," Raven started, "I don't think so, hey can you guys help me set one up!"

"Sure we can!" Mariah strode over the computer at her desk, shaking the mouse to bring the desktop back to life. She loaded up hotmail and started to create a new account, Raven started to leaf through the school planner that was in the bag.

"Yo Raven, what's your surname?" Yushi called from by the computer.

"Bacari" she replied without hesitation. She almost double took when she realised a memory had resurfaced in her brain. She did a mental victory dance in her mind. She got up swiftly from the bed and walked over to the computer.

"What you want your addy to be?" Mariah asked her.

"Midnight Raven" she grinned widely at her new friends.

"There ya go, sorted, you are now midnight_raven_2k@hotmail.com!" Mariah beamed up at her from the chair.

"Nice one Mariah!" Raven grinned at the pink haired girl.

"Call me Riah" she walked over to a bed with covers of shocking pink and threw herself onto it, propping her head up with her hands. "Only the teachers call me Mariah"

"Okies!"

"So, what's so important you're gunna miss our movie sensation, eh Hanhan?"

The girl in question winced at the pet name, "out" she said gruffly, and set about securing the lids on her paints.

"Could you be more specific?" Emily asked her sarcastically.

Hannah shook her head and stowed the paints away in a cupboard on her desk. She pulled the floor length black fitted jacket from the foot of her bed and put it on as she walked towards the door, "I shouldn't think you'd be interested" she smirked and left the room.

"I found it!" Yushi's yell broke the silence, "um, guys, help! I'm stuck!" she yelled, unable to get out from under her bed, having caught her backpack on the underneath.

Everyone sweatdropped, Raven walked over and grabbed Yushi's waving ankles and pulled. The distressed girl remained stuck and Raven frowned, she tugged on the limbs hard and suddenly she and Yushi were flying across the room, only to land in a heap by Raven's bed.

"Ow, that was a bad idea" Raven rubbed her head where she'd hit it on the bed, "what was it you found that was so important?!"

"This!" she held up a System of a Down poster, "I noticed your shirt earlier and thought you might like it!" she grinned at the black haired girl.

"Thanks!"

"It's ok, besides this is the only lass's dorm in the school you'll see posters like this" Yushi said.

"How so?"

"We are the only ones with decent music sense, every other girl in this school listens to the boy bands and pop music" Mariah said matter-of- factly, tacking an Evanescence poster up on the wall.

"Oh" was all Raven could muster

"Well, we're different" Emily mused.

"Yep, we don't associate ourselves with the mini-skirt wearing, man-mad, sluts of the century that happen to be our classmates" Yushi smiled at her friends.

"Too right, and apparently, according to Hannah you also have man-sluts here" Raven said, unloading her shopping bags onto her bed and raving through them, hanging them up in the empty wardrobe.

"Oh yeh, plenty of those" Riah nodded, raving through Raven's new clothes and helping her hang them up.

"Music?"

"Sure!"

Yushi walked over to the hi-fi on her desk and pressed play, Queens of the Stone Age's No One Knows blasted out of the speakers.

"Can you tell me which ones I have to watch out for?" Raven asked the girls who were now all sat on or around her bed.

Emily snorted "That's easy, all of them"

"I meant seriously!"

"So did I, well except for Max, Tyson, Gary, Kevin and Oliver, everyone else is your average player" Emily said meaningfully.

"Everyone?"

"Yup" Yushi piped, "Even your Blue Boy"

Raven choked on the coke she was halfway through swallowing, Riah patted her back. "Kai's a player!?" she spluttered after a few moments.

"Well duh!" Yushi, "Why do you think he's so popular?"

Before Raven could answer, Yushi had jumped up on the bed and was bouncing around madly to the music.

"I love this song!" she cried, pulling Riah, Emily and Raven up onto the bed.

They all burst out singing and all did crude air guitars.

"I want you to want me I need you to need me I'd love you to love me I'm begging you to beg me!"

Emily started giggling like crazy and fell off the bed, she lay on her back on the floor chuckling to herself. She gave a gasp as Riah fell across her stomach then both broke down into a fit of giggles. Raven and Yushi carried on singing.

"Didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?

Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?

Feelin' all alone without a friend, you know you feel like dyin'.

Oh, didn't I, didn't I, didn't I see you cryin'?"

Eventually they could sing no more and collapsed onto the floor in a fit of giggles.

"Are we interrupting anything?" came a voice from the doorway.

The four girls turned their heads towards the intruder to see Kai, Max, Tyson, Johnny and Tala, stood in the doorway.

Three of the girls stopped laughing, except Yushi, who was still struggling to breathe through laughing so much. Max pulled a bottle of water from his backpack and offered it to the choking girl.

"You're so lucky Hil aint here to see you in our room, she'd go ballistic!" Emily stated.

"Why would she do that?" Tyson asked confused.

"Cuz she believes that a girl's room is 'private'" Riah said the last word with disdain. Placing her hands on her hips she looked at her five boys, "So what brings you to our dorm, and why did you bring blood red with you?" she nodded her head towards Tala.

"Me, oh don't worry yourself Miss Pink," he smiled at Riah, "I jus wanted to know if you've seen my new toy, is she around?" he grinned evily.

"And what would you be wanting with her, hear she gave you quite a beating" Emily said, arching one eyebrow at the turquoise eyed boy.

"You heard wrong, and I want to apologise for earlier, what?" he looked at the blank faces around him with annoyance, "What?!"

"The great Tala apologising?" Johnny mused, "wow"

"Yeah well she's not here so your apology will just have to wait"

"In that case, I'll go, I don't want in on your little mothers meeting you're hosting, see ya round!" he called over his shoulder whilst exiting the room. Leaving many bewildered teens. Well all except Raven that is.

"You know what Raven, I think you've done pretty well for your first day" Kai stated.

"And why's that Blue Boy?"

"Well, you've made enemies, had Hannah stand up for you, been to the school nurse, fallen in the fountain, and have just witnessed Tala Ivanov say he's going to apologise" He stated, "I'd say you've done very well indeed"

"From the way you make it sound, I'd have to agree" Raven nodded, she glanced around the room at her friends who were all still in total shock from what they had just seen.
