Chapter 3: 'Dress choosing at Raven's'

"Did you mean what you said, Eddie?" Chelsea asked. "Do you really think I'm cute? Oh, and you can take your arm off me now."

"Oh sorry." Eddie unwrapped his arm from around Chelsea. "Yes I did mean that. You are very cute."

"Awwwwww! That's so sweet!" Raven said. "My two besties are going out."

Chelsea's and Eddie's eyes grew wide.

"Who said we're going out?!" Chelsea asked.

"Yeah." Eddie said.

"Well, you two should go out. You're such a good couple, and you guys have already completed level 1." Raven said.

"Level 1?" Eddie said.

"Man! Don't you know anything about romance?!" Raven said while they got their food. "Level 1 is putting your arm around eachother."

Eddie's cheeks grew red as Raven said that. As the three friends sat at their usual table, Raven saw Alana glaring at Chelsea from the popular table.

"Hey Chels," Raven said. "Alana's looking at you. She must be really jealous, but why?"

Raven looked at Eddie who stuffing his face with his hamburger.

"Eddie," Raven said. "Chelsea wont go to the dance with a guy who's got tomato sauce dribbling down his chin."

Chelsea and Raven laughed while Eddie wiped his chin with a serviette.

"Who cares about Alana, I'm just gonna ignore her." Chelsea said. "The dance is tomorrow night and Eddie's not going to tell me that he wants to go with Alana instead, is he?"

"You're right Chels, don't worry about Alana." Raven replied.

"There!" Eddie said a little too loud. "Is it gone?"

Alana made a disgusted face at Eddie who had just made a big sauce smear on his cheek. Then Raven heard Alana's big voice say:

"No, of course not. I don't really want to go with Eddie to the dance," Alana lied.

But Raven didn't know Alana was lying and she felt really relieved for her friends that they weren't gonna have to break up because of Alana.

At Raven's House

"Wow, Rae." Chelsea said gratefully. "Thanks so much for making me this great dress."

"That's alright," Raven replied. "You're my best friend, I'd do anything for you."

Raven had hand made Chelsea a gorgeous long green sparkling dress with a slit up the front and she also made some long matching gloves. She had also bought Chelsea some tall green high-heeled boots. Raven had made herself a short pink dress with a satin pink scarf, matching gloves and some pink high heels.

"I really appreciate this Raven." Chelsea said looking at herself wearing the dress in the mirror.

"Like I said Chelsea," Raven said. "It's no problem. Eddie will think you look beautiful as well. You really suit that green."

Then all of a sudden Raven's telephone rang. Raven answered it.

"It's Devon!" Raven screamed excitedly as she put her hand over the phone.

After Raven talked to Devon and hung up the phone Raven jumped up and down with excitement.

"I'm going to the dance with Devon!"
