Author's note: I am updating AGAIN on my Raven story. This is now my Chapter 3, with my story first being released just two days ago! As I always say, "Fast updating keeps the readers satisfied." R&R. I will be updating AGAIN very soon!

(While Raven is on her way to the schools gym, from her house, she crosses paths with Alana)

Alana: Well, well, well! If it isn't Ms. Baxter, the widow. You just can't keep a man like Devon satisfied, can you? Or was it your "unpleasant" looks that keep the man running to me?

Raven: Look Alana…..

Alana: (saying in disgust) Talk to me about 5 feet away! You're breath is turning my beautiful hair gray!

Raven: Whatever! Alana, I am way over Devon and you….you are way out of my league! So bring forth anything else you got….because it will have no effect on me whatsoever (she said in a defiant voice)!

Alana: Whatever! At least my man can play basketball better than your wimpy new boyfriend, Eddie!

Raven: Eddie is NOT my boyfriend…….but he is a GREAT friend (she said with a ensured voice)! And Eddie can play basketball just fine! So step! And….you remember that little performance you put on to Devon's music in the cafeteria? Well FYI, you need more dance lessons!

(with saying that, Raven walks along the concrete path leading to the school's gym to meet Eddie)

(it was 6:39 P.M. when she got into the gym)

(Eddie was just sitting down, talking to his friends on the bleachers, when Raven stepped up)

Raven: Hi Eddie! I'm here.

Eddie: Oh, hi Ray. Hey guys, lemme holla at Raven for a sec! I'll be right back. (saying to his friend Tim) You know I shot three-pointers way better than you. Try the Lil leagues next time!

Tim: Eat my dust if you think you can play better than me!

Eddie: Where is it? I have a fork, spoon, and a knife! Bring on the dust.

(with saying that, with laughter, Eddie lead Raven to a bleacher a little further from the crowd)

Eddie: Hi Ray! You were like 10 minutes late. What was the holdup?

Raven: Alana was the holdup. She shared with me a few words of wisdom!

Eddie: Ray, don't worry about Alana…….don't worry about Devon….just don't worry about thing's in life that keeps you from accomplishing life!

Raven: I know Eddie. Lord knows I know. But, it is really hard when you had a long relationship with someone who you thought that truly loved you and then he turns his back on you to date an arch-enemy of yours (after saying that, she starts crying softly).

Eddie: It's ok Raven. Everything will be alright in the long run. Remember karma? Everything that goes around comes around.

Raven: (says, while wiping tears away) You're right! You're absolutely right! I should really stop messing up my make-up for nonsense (she says with a smile). Look, I don't really feel like talking now but what words were said here, were words of healing. Thanks Eddie for everything. I know you wanted to say some things to me so why don't you come to my house tomorrow at about 7:30.

Eddie: The time sounds great. 7:30 it is.

Raven: Bye Eddie.

(Raven gets up off the bleachers and leaves out the gym, with Eddie looking at her every movement till she was nowhere in sight)

(Eddie then leads himself back to the bleachers where his friends are at)

Eddie: Tim, I'm still hungry! Tomorrow will be the "big" day! I'll just share to her what's on my mind.
